If a Mod feels this does not warrant its only thread go ahead and delete.

I was on Amazon(US) earlier today and saw that is up for pre-order GTA V is set for a PC release on the 27th of Jan 2015. It was priced up at $60 which probably means it could be on stream for €60 and cheaper elsewhere.

I feel the 60 mark is a bit steep for a game that will be 1 year and 4 month and 10 days old by the time a PC user can play it. I was expecting maybe it around the 40euro mark.

Saying that it will still sell like hot cakes and ill too pick it up.

I'll keep a eye out for you. I run as Applehead for mighty Papa Vanu. I got the boost myself. Mostly for the armours.

I'm after ordering a new laptop over the weekend since my old one broke down a few weeks ago, kind of curious what games it should be able to handle - Intel i5 4200M 2.5GHz (3.1ghz turbo), Intel 4600 HD graphics, 8GB ram.

I'm not looking to play the overly demanding GPS stuff, more just a few titles like Civ 5/BE, maybe FIFA, etc. Also, can anyone recommend any other games similar to Civ or the likes (eg. something you can play more passively and extensively over a long time period per game)?

Would appreciate any suggestions in advance, cheers!

I think they should get it alright. I know there were some cases where people didn't and SOE were looking into it.

The 6970 is very outdated at this stage - it's still an OK performer, but it's performance is the same more or less as a €100 GTX750 - which uses about a third of the power!

R9 290 and GTX970 are the best value cards at the moment. Either would be twice as fast as the 6970.

How are you finding the GTX 970? Thinking of upgrading from my 6970.

Seems to be the best value card when it comes to bang for your buck and 4 GB of GDDR3 means its well future proofed. This PC is a massive upgrade from my old dual core machine so not sure how big a leap it would be over a 6970.

Got my new glorious master race machine.

Intel quad core i5 at 3.40 GHz, 8GB DDR3 and a 970 GTX with 4GB of GDDR5.

Also have a spiffy SSD Hard Disk, Windows boots in less than 10 seconds.

Tested it out on Titanfall. Rock solid 60 FPS with everything max at 3840x1080 on my friends monitor (my own is just 1080p)

Feeling really stupid buying that PS4.

Ugh Far Cry 4 black screen issue....

degrassinoel

might squeeze a quick one or two in now then

though i'm pretty crap on plat, gold is my comfort zone.

Also waiting for DA:I too

degrassinoel

i had a solo gold video on youtube somewhere with a level 18 batarian soldier

Those inferno grenades are brilliant

yeah, here

42 minutes of beatdown against collectors on gold

ME3MP was definitely the biggest surprise I've experienced in gaming in the last few years. I slated them for adding it, and expected a tacked on crapfest. What I got was one of the best MP experiences I've ever had (or at least in the last few years). So much fun, and a huge amount of content for it.

Hopefully DA:Inquisition MP will be half as good.

degrassinoel

i was rank 1 in that for about a week at one point

Sprucelee76

It's tough going at first but when you get decent weapons and mods it's great

have ye solo'd any yet?

KonFusion

So I may have just dropped a few blips on Far Cry 3 and DA:Inquisition....

If you don't see me for a few days, send food and water as I'm probably running low.

I enjoyed Kill Team for what it was - a simple Twin Stick shooter with loads of DAKKA. Funnily enough, it was also Unreal Engine 3 and used the same assets as the Space Marine game - it was released as a kind of teaser and is intended to be a prologue to the main game. I spent a lot of time playing it co-op on the 360 with my girlfriend, it was most enjoyable since we're both big 40k fans.

TerrorFirmer

Kill Team was alright...ish.

Space Marine was a brilliant game but that's a few years ago now. Great single player and totally under-rated multiplayer.

Overheal

I was actually thinking of Kill Team and Storm of Vengeance. Both came out in the spring, and both were reportedly terrible

There's a turn based, hex based 40k game coming out from Slitherine that looks interesting. I think it's going to be similar to the (popular from the genre) Panzer Corps.

It might turn out to be a grognard only affair given Slitherine's track record.

Shiminay

Not even, it was a direct port of the board game and it took all the annoying parts of being a boardgame (slow to set up, slow to move characters) and replicated them on our screens. Terrible design, terrible execution. Unskippable animations of slow and clunky Terminator marines stomping across corridors, awkward interface causing mis-clicks and RAEG! I looked forward to that one in a big way and it was fking awful, I could only play it for about 10 minutes before giving up and wishing for my €20 back.

This, however, could be briulliant, but I'm not holding my breath. The Space Hulk brand means it's going to be very limited in its scope unless they're going to throw continuity out the window which will do nothing except enrage GW fans who are the people who will make or break this game. Even Space Marine that came out a few years ago - an incredibly fun game for any GW fan and a really well put together shooter for anyone else who was interested in that sort of thing had a real problem getting noticed (of course, being a part of the THQ doomed empire didn't help).

Mordheim looks interesting:

And Eternal Crusade would interest me if it didn't say MMO - I got burned by the Star Wars thing - couldn't get past the fact that I fking despise MMO mechanics (standing there hitting something for 2 minutes with a lightsabre and it not being instantly dismembered is not something I'm prepared to tolerate). I've also just noticed that it's going to be F2P micro-transaction supported, so I'm definitely out.

Space Hulk was released last year, and was pretty poor from what i read. It was more of a strategy/xcom style game though.

I was thinking there was a massive gap in the market for a WH40K FPS.

Sure enough:

I like the WTF videos, they don't help me that much with knowing if I'd like something but they are very good for helping me spot games that I really, really won't like due to some mechanic or visual aspect that might not come up in a decent written review. I like RPS for their reviews also.

There's a fella I work with who does the same thing.

It's a bit like football people putting "to be honest" anywhere it'll fit but neither their honesty nor TB's frankness are ever in question.

Great,every time he says frankly now im going to notice:pac:

I have to say i like his review style. I think he manages to most of the time talk about a game in a good critical way without letting his own opinion take center stage.

I feel like i know a lot more about a possible purchase after watching his vids. I dont get the same sense of the games being reviewed from most other reviewers. I did find him an aquired taste though,took awhile to appreciate his style.
