Favorite PC Game

aaaand I got sucked into it.

At level 13 right now (out of 50, plus some veteran levels they add) and I am having an enjoyable time so far.

I got sucked back into Skyrim, so have no desire to play the online game. I can't believe how much I missed during the first play. I did nothing with the Thieves Guild the first time - and that is a very deep and detailed story.

never really did the thieves guild, have always played as a heavily armored sword and board type.

and not surprisingly i'm doing the same thing in ESO.

At level 6 I got to the quest on the small island where you had to go down underground and take out some boss. Prior to getting to him I had to kill 3 different sets of fire spamming level 8 imp things.

I got to the third set but my stamina, or lack there of, always got me killed. The thing that pissed me off is if I retreated to heal they did as well.

Heck, I just finished all the Mass Effect series, then did Deus Ex, Human Revolution. Now, I'm back playing Skyrim as my 15th Nord, with emphasis on archery skills, since I am an archer in real life. Game for game, you can't beat Skyrim, even though I already know what is going to happen. Yeah, I have Dawnguard and Dragonborn, but never bought Hearthfire.

Maybe I should go on Amazon.com and buy the other 3 previous games before Oblivion. Anybody know whether these games will work with Windows 8? If they work with Windows 7, I know they will work with Windows 8.

They will all run. Oblivion runs without issue. The earlier games require some work. The Elder Scrolls (Arena) requires DosBox to run, it doesn't have Windows support.

Daggerfall and Morrowind need some tweaks, but there are tons of guides on how to get them to play.

Honestly, I wouldn't bother with anything before Morrowind - and I'm not even sure about that, because there is a total conversion project that is redoing Morrowind using the Skyrim engine - it may be better just to wait for it.

Yeah, i ignored the whole thing the first time, but it's a really good story arc.

Damnit. You guys just cost me 30 bucks with all the Skyrim talk.

Yeah I got it on pc but damnit I didn't still own it on 360. Now I do.....

I moved my gaming rig back into the pc room the other day and I really wanted to start a bow character FROM MY LAZY-BOY.

I play war games. Current favorite is Advanced Tactics Gold sold by Matrix.

I also play online in Dungeons and Dragons online.

I just pulled out my Panzer General the other day and taught it to my son. Since it runs on an old out dated gaming system, I wanted to get a game for our Networked PC's, and I noticed the last edition of Panzer General was made for Windows '98. Shame.

How would you compare Advanced Tactics Gold to Panzer Corps Wehrmacht?

I just found an old PC version of Axis and Allies.

Why didn't you just lower the details and resolution on your PC, run a bunch of process in the background to bog down your processor, and hook up a controller to destroy your ability to to control your character to get the same experience as a 360?

You CAN achieve crappy graphics and sloppy controls, for that XBox experience!

The first game that has come out that I want to play for ages is Wolfenstein. So I went to the shop to buy it and found the specs are too high for my computer. It requires windows 7 or 8 and a 64 bit computer with 4 gig of ram.
I was thinking of having a new computer built for me and running windows 7 on a system with 8gig of ram and a 2gig Gforce video card.

What do you gamers think of those specs?

That would do it.

It is more than wolfenstein needs , but I was thinking of future games.
Particularly the rumoured, half life 3 . But that still seems to be smokeware.

I'm upgrading soon too. Considering a barebones system and using my existing power supply. No matter what, I'm looking at around $500 by the time it's done.

I was looking at a ready built base unit that has 4gig of ram and a 500meg video card for £320, it would run Wolfenstein, but I decided I would probably need more power for future games. So I am considering getting them to custom build a system with the higher specs I mentioned. It would cost a lot more, but it would not become obsolete for some time. There would be nothing more frustrating than getting a new computer only to find it is not up to next years games. (If there are any). Because most gamers seem to be using consoles now. I have been looking into play station 4 to see if that might be the better way to go.

So you're one of those elitist pc gamers eh? Not me. I will game on anything. It's about the game. If I'm gonna be in it for the pretties I'll watch a cgi movie.

Galactic Civilizations II is great as well. Gal Civ 3 is about to come out, but they want a ridiculous price for it. ($100 on Steam)

I'm still fond of the 1998 Firaxis Games' "Alpha Centauri", which is why I was so pleased to see this announced. Though after the disappointment that Civ5 was, I won't get hopes to high.
