Speaking of Tom Clancy, has anyone played Ghost Recon: Wildlands? Might get that game on PC.

My buddy highly recommended this game. I was thinking of picking it up since it's on sale on Steam. Maybe lemme know what you think?

I ended up grabbing the deluxe edition for $45 during the current Steam sale. Haven't been able to play yet but it looks fun.

What is Dark Souls 3 like? Isn't it a super frustrating game, a very difficult game? I wouldn't want to get it because of that and... my brother bought it for me yesterday :lol:

Dark Souls 3 is just like Bloodborne. Honestly I really love the Dark Souls series. It's so fun and the games are satisfying to beat. If you take your time and level properly it isn't that bad. Hope you like it!

Hello all, was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a good gaming PC that is VR ready and has the ability to be upgraded easily. I have found some options in the 12-1500 range but there are so many options it’s a bit overwhelming. Any advice on memory or

video cards or just PC brands to avoid that would be cool. 

 

Also does anyone have an opinion for the oculus rift vs. HTC?

Build one? I'm sure you could probably build one for cheaper then that especially if you have a few parts you can rob from an old system for the time being.

Even just sourcing yourself and paying someone for assembly will get you better results:

Good luck finding a 1060 or above in stock... Prices are insane right now :huh: I was able to snipe aa 1070 Ti 8gig for 640$ after tax on black friday... 

 

It actually runs much better on the 1050Ti than I expected. I'm going to hold off on upgrading until the card prices drop. Maybe even when the next generation comes out.

 

I was looking into Ark Park as it seemed kind of a cool game for VR, but the minimum requirements will be a GTX 1080 and an i7. That's insane.
