Any PC Gamers Around?

I've been converted to the point I will build my PC vs buy a pre-built. But damn there are some cool SFF pre-built and this one is slick! I can only hope they offer just the case or make it a kit like the NZXT H1.

Dead Space remake has been getting really good reviews, so I think I'm gonna pick it up tomorrow!

68 minutes playing. I am thoroughly enjoying this game. I don't remember much of the original except for how much I enjoyed it. This remake seems like a faithful reproduction.
The biggest difference that comes to mind between the new Dead Space and The Callisto Protocol is that Dead Space is polished. I can't describe what I mean very well but DS is well designed and plays well where as TCP was not and did not. (I didn't finish TCP, it irritated me too much.)
I have all/most video options cranked up (it rarely dips below the 100 fps threshold I have set) and the game looks incredible but even having a brief play on min video settings the game is still fun.
I haven't enjoyed a game this much in a while.

Agreed! I've gotten through the first level and partly through the second. The details are insane, especially the dismemberment!! Like holy balls. I will say the little changes they made to the dialog and backstory are interesting. Nothing I really dislike but it is different. Also I really like how there are no loading screens.

I've mentioned this before, and this is not a rant, but this game reaffirms my thoughts on ray tracing. This remake doesn't use ray tracing but the graphics are unreal even though it uses the Frostbite Engine (witty huh?).
I've been playing Control and yes, the game does look a little prettier playing with ray tracing but it doesn't alter the game.
Maybe it's like new smartphone models; developers are struggling to find new features to add because the feature set has become saturated.

Sorry, I would like to say more but the USG Ishimura is calling me.

I have to admit the whole ray tracing thing isn't all that ground breaking. It had a little but it doesn't feel night and day to me.

Not really PC, but I've been playing a lot Pokemon Violet. Some lag and bug issues but is nothing that diminishes the experience. My last game was Omega Ruby so it blew my mind to see so many changes. Only about 400 Pokemon tho, and some are really tough to find. The whole Academy thing is pretty neat because it caters to new players or it brushes up your knowledge.



If you get into it, try to get yourself a Tinkaton, it will absolutely destroy almost every opponent you put in front of it.

Finished the Dead Space remake and I can definitely give it a seal of approval. The changes they made really helped out and have more depth to certain characters. Game play was polished and the new game plus is a huge incentive. I also love the expansion for suit and weapon upgrades. The only real downside to the game is the voice acting. While good, i still believe the original did a better job at portraying certain emotions. Namely the voice actors for Kyne and Nicole. The guy who did Mercer was pretty good actually. Still I highly recommend the game!

Still waiting for a true sequel to BF4 since BF2042 was a steaming pile of shit.
