    ** Diablo 4 Thread **

    Really enjoying this on gamepass after bouncing off it and refunding at release. I'm playing as a mage and just melting everything with huge amounts of fire. Lvl 25 in 3 days. Great fun for dipping into for an hour and blasting some monsters. I doubt I'll stay once I've completed the campaign...

    What are your favorite game studio's/or publishers of all time?

    Hard to argue about Blizzard given the amount of time I have put into WoW over the years, combined with the various Diablo games (D2 being my peak). ID for Quake which introduced me to online gaming an massive phone bills Microprose for Civ Bullfrog for Rollercoaster tycoon and other great 90s...

    Looking for more games with "good" combat

    Chivalry 2 has really great combat, if you are happy swinging a sword or axe rather than shooting a gun.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    If you hate dungeons and raids, there's really no point playing WoW retail nowadays.

    GPU upgrade - Nvidia 4070 or AMD 7800XT?

    Thanks, I think I'll see if I can get the 7800XT on offer at somepoint, or even snag the 7900XT at a decent price in the sales or something.

    GPU upgrade - Nvidia 4070 or AMD 7800XT?

    I'm looking for some advice on which GPU upgrade path to go down. I'm upgrading from an AMD RX 5700 (the non-XT version) which has served me well for 3-4 years but is starting to show it's age at 1440p. The rest of my system is AMD, with an X570 motherboard and Ryzen 7 5800X cpu and 16GB...

    RX 5700XT

    I have a 5700 (no-XT) and play at 1440p. Most games are fine. I play Starfield, Chivalry 2 etc. and get 100+ fps on high or ultra graphics. It's still a perfectly good gaming card for most uses. If you want to play cyberpunk at 4k with ray tracing, or flight simulator with everything on, it...

    Total War: Pharaoh

    I've been trying to get into this game over the weekend. I loved the Total War games back in the day, playing the original Rome and Medieval 2 versions for hundreds if not thousands of hours. I've tried getting back into TW games over the past few years (my Steam library shows that I have most...

    PC Game Pass (was Xbox Game Pass for PC)

    In the end, the drama wasn't too bad. I found out I had a copy of FM2022 that Epic had given away for free several months ago, and I must have claimed it for this exact eventuality! :D

    PC Game Pass (was Xbox Game Pass for PC)

    Really annoyed that Football Manager 2022 is leaving gamepass as soon as FM2023 is released. I have a year old save on FM2022 that I won't be able to continue unless I pay £39.99 for a copy of the now out of date version. Puts me off wanting to start FM2023 as I know I will lose my save in a...

    Best streaming solution - AMD and non-Steam games

    I tried this tonight, downloaded Forza 5 on Gamepass. I can get it streaming, the only problem is that the trigger buttons on my Xbox controller aren't detected :-\

    Best streaming solution - AMD and non-Steam games

    Didn't know you could do that! I'll give it a try as I have steamlink working and setup with an old Xbox 360 controller

    Best streaming solution - AMD and non-Steam games

    I've been trying to find out recently (without much success), what the best solution is for streaming non-Steam games from my PC to my TV. These days I play more games through Windows XBOX Live subscription and Epic than I do through Steam. I've got an AMD setup so Nvidia shield isn't the best...

    DirectStorage - does it matter which drive you use?

    Although there are not many games yet taking advantage of DirectStorage, I have a question about setting it up. I currently have Windows running off a SATA drive connected to my first PCIe drive slot, and a secondary PCI4 NVMe drive connected to the second slot, which holds all of my games. To...

    What's your personal GOAT ? (Game of all time)

    Definately the golden era of PC gaming for me that. 1995-2002 had so many great, innovative, games and the communities that went with them as well.

    What's your personal GOAT ? (Game of all time)

    Would have to be World of Warcraft, back in the Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King era. Honorable mentions for Football Manager (all versions), Battlefield 2, Civilisation (all versions), Quake, and Red Alert 2

    *** Steam Sale - confirmed by Valve****

    Purchased both BF2042 and Cyberpunk 2077 on the Epic sale. I refunded Battlefield after 20 minutes playing it (third time attempting it, just don't like the gameplay), and Cyberpunk without playing it - I realised that I was never going to play it having never been hooked to play more than a few...

    *** The Official Battlefield 2042 thread***

    Currently available for £22 on Epic store. I gave it a try when it launched (free 12 hour EA demo or something) and didn't buy it as I found the maps\graphics quite bland, the squad play and matchmaking system poor, lack of joystick support for aircraft, and a load of pointless fluff like the...
