PC Gamers?

[zvbiv]

So, I've seen threads about xbox and ps3 gamers... But what about pc? I just got my pc and picked up Star Wars: The Old Republic. Anyone else play? Or whats some games y'all play?

I made a thread last year about Diablo 3. But that is the only PC game i play.

Nice, I played that on my friends computer a while ago. It was fun

I bought my current computer last year after blowing up my old one by playing Diablo 3 (underpowered power supply, beefy video card, trying to run both Netflix and Diablo 3 on split screens... yeah... it literally blew up!)

I play emulators on my PC more often than I play my Xbox360 or any of my older systems. I'm not all that big into regular PC games, though.

I have played FPS games. the most recent one I have played because of my crappy computer is Call of Duty: United Offensive. Yea it's old but it's all that would run.

PCs all the way

Currently playing thru Spec Ops: The Line and Ghost Recon Future Soldier, though my fav single player games are definitely the Mass Effect series.

As far as MP recently I've felt too tired to be able to play well, but when I do I play Combat Arms and Blacklight Retribution (both free to play) and Battlefield 3.

Most of the games I play are also on consoles but I much prefer mouse+keyboard, as well as building my own systems.

My current rig is a watercooled Intel 2500k and an AMD HD 6870

I love seeing fancy custom-built systems. I've built my own computers, but they've always been ugly as sin. Functional, but they looked like crap.

I've pretty much have gotten bored of the PS3 and 360 so I built myself one until the new generation of consoles release maybe. Only thing is I don't have anyone to play with now because I left all my friends on the console.

It's funny... I still prefer the older games. I just played through the original Zelda the other day, and I loved it as much as I did when I was a kid. I think I might start on the A Link to the Past or Ocarina of Time tomorrow.

I envy you. I have been wanting to do this for a long time. I never got to play the SNES games, but I remember owning the NES, GameBoy, and N64 releases. Man...

Oh, and on point: I've been a PC gamer for a long time, since before the XBox came out, around the time the original PlayStation was released. Q3A [Quake 3 Arena] FTW!

I built a gaming PC a few years ago that died on me while playing Battlefield 3 last year & now all i can play are old games so I only play Battlefield 1942 since it's free now on Origin. e.e

I built my computer; ue it for my online classes and to play L4D2, Metro2033, Saints Row 3, Fallout NV, Alan Wake and Far Cry 3.

I've been thinking of building another one just for BF4.

I just downloaded Torchlight for free from GOG.com. I like it. Possibly better than Diablo 3, even if it's not quite as pretty.

Been PC Gaming almost my entire life.

From a Pentium 166 w/32mb of ram, with a S3 Virge + Voodoo2

to a PIII 750 @ 870mhz, 768MB of ram, Geforce Ti 4600 (I still have it and it runs, sans the Ti 4600, as its got something newer now)

to my most current rig:
Intel Core i7 980x @ 3.33ghz (hex core)
Kingston HyperX 24GB DDR3
Dual SLI GTX-580's (I have a 3rd, but need a bigger case or to water cool it to fit).



The most taxing game I have played on my most recent rig that turns my computer in a space heater is Metro 2033, which reminds me, I need to get Metro 2034.

I can still overclock my rig, but there is no point as I still have plenty of horsepower to get the job done. I was able to push my 980x to 4.3ghz stable on air (with hyperthreading) while running prime 95.

I currently play Diablo 3, World of Warcraft, and just started Rift (it went free to play June 12th).
