How's the combat in TW2 ? is it the same as in the first game ? Haven't got to play TW2 yet, i'm not sure my laptop can handle it. I played the first one and I really didn't like the combat, and the game's interface was terrible too. Loved the setting and story tho.Tykain

Witcher 2 is basically an improvement in all areas over the first game.

The combat is more akin to something that'd spawn if Batman: AC and Demon Souls hooked up.

If I was to label someone a "PC gamer" it'd be someone who plays games on their PC, but actually dedicates themselves to it in some way.

I wouldn't necessarily call someone who plays "Spongebob's Boat-O-Cross" a PC gamer.

There's a bit more dedication involved, I think, for me to call someone a gamer as I tend to connect the term with someone who games as a hobby, and not as someone who games to kill five minutes every week.

Try playing as the Soldier or medic first. The Soldier is pretty easy to play as at a basic level (but got plenty of advance things you can learn) and the medic allows you to observe your teammates while helping them out.

The best tip I can give is to, as often as physically possible, look behind you.

I have friends who hate the game because they think spies are overpowered, and I'm just like "Ok, well it's time to learn that you're on the PC and you can turn around in like 5 nanoseconds, and check that nobody is there"

Spies are the least of my worries when I play.

But I can't convince my friends of that because they're n00bz >.>

Here is what I have:Hexagon_777

I've got...

It's not all that much by itself, but I have a big PC game collection regardless.

I'd probably have way more games in this collection if it weren't for my backlog.

Watch some videos on how to play.

You'll learn a ton.

I don't play on a dedicated gaming rig because of cost. I would consider myself a hardcore gamer. As a starving college student, I can't afford an awesome PC to play the latest games, so I play them on my 360. One day when I'm working at my new career, I will once again be a full-time PC gamer (in my middle-high school days I played Quake III and CS 1.6 on my Dad's rig)

That being said, I'm still a PC gamer even If I don't play recent games on it. I'm currently playing through the Half-Life games because I never have before. I have CS: Source and Team Fortress 2 to play if im bored, and Steam has some great deals on older games. I'm not that big of a graphics whore, so I can deal with playing older games as long as they are still fun.

In short, I don't think the high entry cost is a good thing, because to get a PC running like the consoles when they are first released is expensive. Sure, now you can get a machine that runs games just as good as current gen systems for $400, but in a few years that will be obsolete with the next gen of consoles.

If you need a PC it's worth it to upgrade to a gaming rig.

I'm a college student myself, and it's what I play on. Heck, I game on my PC 95% of the time because it's way cheaper to do so. I rent console games every now and again for a weekend or so, but my PC games I get to play year round.

If I were you though I wouldn't get "old" games off Steam. They have a habit of not working all that well.

Good Old Games is way better if you want more of a guarantee with your purchases. I know it's not all that fun to sign up for two different stores, but with GoG there is no client, or DRM, so you can just install to your computer, and never have to worry about GoG again until you are itching for another game.

[QUOTE="ShadowDeathX"] Yes but the casuals mostly game on pre-made laptops or mainstreams desktops. Not many of them have a gaming rig.ShadowDeathX

That's what I used to game on before I got a gaming rig.

Yes, that's what it was.

[QUOTE="SW__Troll"]

Well the thing is that the PC has the most casual games of any systems, but also the most complex games as well.

[QUOTE="Hexagon_777"]Choosing the parts is much harder due to all the choice one has! And my first time was...About a week ago. I am 22. :|Hexagon_777

Well at least you have one, and I like that GoG was one of your first stops. It makes me think you keep an eye out for more than just the more well-known PC titles.

I know for me it's nearly a daily basis I'm surprised with something new I discover in the world of PC gaming.

This being the latest :P

And yesterday it was this

and a few days ago it was this

I imagine there will be something good in store for me tomorrow.

Oldies are great, but make sure you don't miss out on any new-age classics, or else you shall be forever behind.

I've got a few games to play from GoG though. I didn't get Heroes of Might and Magic, but I did get the original Might and Magic games as well as some other RPGs.
