Gamers - What Are You Playing At The Moment?
MATtheHAT replied to Fierce_LiNk's topic in General Gaming Discussion
Guild Wars 2 Bought this a few days ago as I was looking for a new PC game. Really enjoying it with some interesting quests for an MMORPG. It looks superb and the artstyle is fantastic with a watercolour theme. It's also incredible that you get all this content without a monthly subscription! Also, it's currently On Sale at 50% off, but it ends today. -
@drahkon @Cookyman Come on boys, I own every track. Need some competition.
-
He'll need a lot of practice.
-
The retail release includes the season pass and some small DLC.
-
Picking this up today on PS4. Looking at early reviews it would appear my concerns above were unfounded. Anybody else getting it? It's one of my favourite games of last gen and now it's on PS4 the Sony boys can get in on this fantastic series.
-
I like the new leveling system. Faith stacks fire and lightning attack, and I've just hit 50 faith. The fire sword you get early on leveled up to +5 is a beast with a faith build. I've had several invaders and 2 hit killed most of them. Looking forward to seeing what a divine greatsword can do!
-
Faith build for me. Going for high miracle damage and healer. Plus looking for a decent weapon that stacks. My mace does but base is a bit low now.
-
Can't wait. It's currently sat pre-installed on my Steam list. Just got to finish Thief this week.
-
Got a spare key for The Elder Scrolls Online beta if anybody is interested.
-
Loving it. Even holding my own using an Xbox controller against KB/M users. The pistol thing that auto aims is immense. Perhaps a little OP? But a godsend for controller users.
-
It's open to all PC players now, as long as you registered for the beta before 14th February. Downloading now.........
-
I have some Steam Gifts for the upcoming MOBA (ZOMBA?) Dead Island: Epidemic. Add me on Steam or let me know and I'll gift a copy to whoever wants one.
-
Not a fan of the multiplayer?
-
Yeah I will install high quality texture mods to games that support them, Skyrim and Sleeping Dogs spring to mind. I'm like a kid in sweet shop at the moment.
-
About £600 not including monitor or peripherals. Although a similar specced PC could be built for less. I just went with some premium quality parts, and also mini ITX stuff generally is a little more expensive. That makes sense about the graphics, and I did connect the monitor to the card via HDMI and it worked fine. The power cable to the GPU also works fine, although I am a little worried about the current through one cable causing heat. I may run another cable, but for the time being I'll just monitor temps. After gaming on laptop for so long, this feels so good..........
-
I'm amazed I've actually done this without much grief, the trickiest part was identifying the headers for the small connections, and getting the Windows ISO file loaded without a DVD drive. I would highly recommend anyone considering a new PC to build there own. Loving the colour scheme. All in place with covers on. I'll load up some games and perhaps do some benchmarking tomorrow.
-
The voltage is the same @ ~240v. Only the pins on the plug are different.
-
Yeah I would imagine I would need to use the Integrated graphics until I download the GPU drivers? This is the same type of cable I have run at the moment: Like this one, mine has two connectors on one cable daisy chain, I am thinking that it doesn't really matter if I use both connectors on the GPU, as it would still come off the same PSU internal rail as if I had run two separate cables.
-
That is a good tip, a friend was supposed to give me a hand but he was tied up with work stuff. Question: my graphics card uses 2 x 6 pin power connectors, can they come off the same power lead or will I need to run two separate power cables from the PSU? Also, on initial boot up to BIOS, shoul I connect monitor to GPU or Motherboard output?
-
Me too. I bought the case first then decided on the parts based on it. It's not without problems, and it does cause issues due to form factor and size. I haven't installed the DVD drive because it will probably leave insufficient room for the graphics card. Not a huge deal for me, I can't remember the last time I used a DVD-ROM, and I can install windows from a flash drive. This is my first PC build so hopefully everything works when I turn it on next week. It's also kinda amusing that this rig will probably play most games at max settings, yet I'll mostly be playing Hearthstone.
-
Just started building my new mid-range PC, everything is done apart from the graphics card which I'm picking up on Tuesday. I also need a case fan power splitter. Specs: Bit Fenix Prodigy Mini ITX Case Intel I5 4570 Haswell CPU MSI H87I Motherboard Corsair CX500M PSU Corsair Vengeance 8Gb RAM Seagate 7200 1TB HDD Sapphire Radeon R9 270X Graphics LG 22" 1080p LED Monitor Roccat KONE Mouse Future upgrades when budget allows: CPU Water Cooler (depending on noise levels) 258G SSD Boot/App drive Roccat Keyboard Some more pics of the build:

Not a Steam game, but Hearthstone is out in open beta, and I'm hopelessly addicted.
-
Platinum get! Now to try and beat Rez's high scores.
-
"Smells Normal" Good to know buddy.

Cookyman does the headset plug into the controller or do you use USB? Also loving Resgun - currently top of the friends leaderboards on experienced (come get some bitches yolo swag etc..)
