    Good shout, I haven't played a strategy game in years, I loved Rome total war on my laptop back in the day

    Pretty much the only game I've played, along with FM, for 4 years.

    Assetto Corsa for racing game.

    Civ 6 is out now btw.

    I enjoy City skylines, like other strategy games I find myself losing hours on those :D.

    Currently I am really enjoying a Fps called ''Squad'' its early access at the moment (this week its on steam for a free weekend). Its pretty hardcore, more than battlefield ever was but its epic!

    CS:GO, Rust, Rocket League.

    Lots of people I know are into League of Legends but not a fan of it myself.

    I quite like Arma as well. Just getting into a game called Playerunknown's Battlegrounds which is based on an Arma mod, really enjoying it atm.

    What've you got in your rig?

    Nice, I will probably get one of the two :50:

    Yeh I've seen a few youtube videos of battlegrounds it does look fun. I went with an rx 480 for my graphics card and an amd ryzen processor.

    Nice. Hope you done the proper thing and put LED lights all over it as well. :giggle1:

    All the games I suggested are multiplayer because that's basically all i play. I've played Rust with a few guys off here and its been some laugh.

    We should get a TC steam group going. :50:

    What's the performance like on that PUBG? Hearing it's pretty shocking unless you have some sort of NASA set up.
    I only have an i5, 8gigs of ram and a RX270. I don't want to be playing a stuttering mess. :90:

    I have a similar set up and I need to run it on low for just about everything. Think that's the case for most people even with higher spec systems.

    Runs pretty nicely for me, although I usually get a bit of lag at the start of a match if I jump out the plane over a busy area. It always sorts itself out fairly quickly though and it's never caused me any real issues.

    If you buy the game on steam you can try it for a couple of hours and refund it if you're unhappy with the performance. :50:

    I've bought it and it's running ok with most things on low. Although I keep getting the out of memory error and my game crashing. Due to a graphics memory leak so I've read. Arma 3 and BF 4 used to suffer the same issue so I hope they can fix it like they did.
    I either seem to get killed by the first person I see or go on a mad killing spree and murdering 5 or 6 people :giggle1:

    Keep meaning to buy civ 6 as well, still on civ 5. If you haven't played one in awhile then go with 5 as 6 is still full price.

    As fot player unknown, guys mind you can play for 2 hours in a 2 week period and get a full refund from steam - no questions asked. Good way to test it out and see if it runs well.


    Ive Been tempted with this week's deal on the Lego games.

    Other than that, fm17 is a must, and some decent deals on final fantasy games as well if you are in to them. Currently trying to get in to ffxiv - the online one, but not too sure how long I will sub.

    I would guess so. I've also got Origin for BF and FIFA but I hardly ever play them.

    Few folk on the steam group now if you want to join: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/talk_celtic
