(PCGT V) PC gaming is dead, press F to pay respects

[Victor Mildew]

Now you install something you used to play 10 years ago, downsample to the extreme, have every external effect and post processing thing available switched on, then marvel at how it's running at 250 fps

[Death's Head]

Well, all done. i7 clocked to 5ghz, mem at 3.2ghz. Now what?

Just dawned on me that I dont play games.

Load up a massively complex spreadsheet in XL and marvel at how quickly it is usable.

Alternatively, play Eve Online for much the same experience as Excel, just with slightly more graphics in the background.

You need to run the spreadsheets alongside Eve to play.

The perfect test.

Well that's tonight sorted then.

Also have a code for For Honour or Ghost Recon Wildlands, but I think you need a 10 series graphics card to activate it. Same price.

I think they've locked those down now so you have to activate it through geforce with the card you got the game codes with.

[False]

You need to activate through geforce with a 10 series card. They have no serial number of any card of mine, they simply provide you with a license key you redeem and choose which game.

Code: Select all

To redeem this code

- Install GeForce Experience software on the PC that also has qualifying GPU installed.
- Open GeForce Experience and enter the promotional code in REDEEM box.
- Select either For Honor or Ghost Recon: Wildlands and link to your UPlay account.
- Launch Uplay and download the game.

Anyone up for some CSS?

Is Civ VI worth getting or should I stick with V until expansions have been released?

[Green Gecko]

So that's RockPaperShotgun all bought up then:

Sold to the Gamer Network, the guys who own Eurogamer and apparently every other gaming site ever.

To quote the internet of old, Do Not Want.

An official statement from John Walker:

"There comes a point in everyone's career when they must abandon all their principles and beliefs, and sell out to The Man. It was simply our time. I want to assure readers that while RPS will be irreparably damaged by this sale, and that everything they love and hold dear about the site is lost, my mortgage has been significantly reduced."

They already depended on sharing advertising with the Gamer Network so wholesale ownership when you're dependent on a 3rd party revenue stream isn't really all that different.

Plus it's Ziff Davis / CBS and TimeWarner that own everything.

Is Civ VI worth getting or should I stick with V until expansions have been released?

It's worth playing for sure, 100%. It's not better than Civ V + expansions though.

[Qikz]

Join CS all!

It has Sean Bean. It's better.

Thanks to those who joined the new CS:S server - the event was a bit short notice you helped test the server

To do list

1. Sort out the spray error we were having ( it seems to only happen after map change - I think it is something to do with sv_pure )
2. Add in our favourite custom maps
3. Sort out Map rotation
4. Re-Introduce Anti-stacking
5. Re-Introduce TK Olympics

How much is CS these days and would a newbie be annihilated?

[Kezzer]

How much is CS these days and would a newbie be annihilated?

you can pick it up on steam for £14 bucks! (BREXIT )
-someone on here might have a spare copy.

As for being annihilated... yes but we all get done in

you won't be any worse than PedZ

[False]

Essentially any sale CS is basically free.
