Grundy Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Total War: Arena - Free Alpha atm - Freaking awesome if you like the TW series. I didn't know this was a thing! I love Total War games I'll definitely check this out. Can't recommend it enough! When I was opening up Rome, the news feed popped up with it, so it took me to this website - http://www.totalwar.com/arenaThey send you an email with the CD key to type into Steam. It's such an awesome game. 10v10, you each control 3 battalions. Start off with peasant like units, but the more you play, the more Exp you get, which you can upgrade your units with better armor, to then unlock the next tier units. There is currently 6 generals. As you choose a leader, not a faction, 3 different famous generals for Rome inc Ceaser, and 3 for Greece inc Leonidas. I was a bit wary at first, as I thought it was just going to be a pay to win game. However it's all pretty much cosmetics. You can upgrade your units with real money, but as you advance, you play with people the same level as you, so even then you don't necessarily win because of 'your awesome units' as they all have the same units too. Early stages so far as it's in alpha, but it really is a polished game. I just can't wait for Warhammer TW - That is a real game changer!

Ekona Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I think it does, yeah. I'll give it a go tonight probably! Been playing MGSV last night, it's a bit weird. Okay, I've never played* any of the MGS games and I'm aware the back story is huge and complex and I don't intend to understand it all, but so far it's more like F.E.A.R. than what I expected. I didn't realise there was supernatural elements to it, as I'm pretty sure that a giant flaming whale attacking me from the sky isn't actually a real thing! That's not really a spoiler at all in case you're worried, it happens in the prologue which still took me 90 mins to get through and I didn't do anything really apart from hold forward on the stick. Done the first mission proper, which wasn't too bad and cleared it with a B rating which is better than I'd hoped for. Tricky though, as guard movements and especially guard changes are hard to track, along with the day/night cycle meaning you have limited time to actually do things. *I played MGS on PS1 for about 20 mins before getting stuck and giving up.

mouthwash Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 So I got Metal Gear Solid V a few days early and first thought, WOW! The graphics, the gameplay, the cinematics, the everything is just amazing. Even the prologue is over an hour long. Anyone else getting this? I want it, I might have to sell some counter strike guns and buy it Or gamble them on skinarena.com and win someone else's skins to sell? I wish I had the guts to try but I know I'd just lose them all, like the majority of people do you see people win some crazy amounts on there.

You need to be careful about when you bet and you'll get the best chance; a quick breakdown: - each $0.01 of skin value gives you 1 ticket - tickets are assigned in blocks So, if the pot has say $150 and 60 skins, if you put $150 with 20 skins you'll hit the 80 skin limit and have a 50% chance of winning. To get the best chance you would need to put a big bet in the middle of the pot and hope no one matches you at the end, because then you have say the 20%-80% segment of the ticket blocks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT350 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Does anyone have Dirty Bomb on steam? It's free to play. Good fun. Also if anyone likes the sound of tactical nuclear war there's Defcon which is only a tenner. It's like a game of chess but with nukes instead of knights. Alien Vs Predator Classic 2000 is great fun on multiplayer. If you want to add me on steam it's suliktribal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used http://csgolounge.com/ Each skin has a value, say you put in 5 skins at 25cent each, you're better $1. If you're bet wins, you receive up to (depending on the odds, so say 5-1) $5 worth of skins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I hate to **** on your chips so to speak but I tried it out, its terrible. The 10v10 format doesn't work, the teams are "too large" which gives 3 negatives: - Long queue times. - No strategy. - No teamwork. I've played 3, lost 3 so far and im done. You cant impact the outcome of the match because whichever team "groups up" wins via massing and out numbering the opponent, regardless of unit type/upgrades.

I love it, must be about 100 games in.- Ques times aren't a problem for me, being a long term Dota 2 addict - Start comes later on when you actually have to start using flanking maneuvers due to phalanx units. - Granted, thats the only set back, you really need some friends to play with to make it a lot more fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dota and the other Mobas are only 5 people right? Thats a big increase! According to Steam ive been playing for 50mins so far, during that time ive only managed 3 games! (queue times + match length) and all 3 have been losses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masa Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I don't have any skins worth selling or gambling As for MGS, I want the game but not sure I'd get £45 worth of enjoyment out of it because it doesn't seem like my kinda game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimboy2 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) I think I want to get into PC gaming. I watch a lot of twitch gamers are quite fancy playing myself now. I'm a console gamer normally but there are a lot of games I want to try. I like the looks of ARMA and H1Z1 and those types of survival games. I have absolutely no idea what sort of PC specs I should be looking at. From the little I have read about gaming PCs, I know it's best to build your own instead of buying of the shelf. Is that still the case? What would be a decent spec to play those types of game? Not sure how demanding they are.

Is that still the case? What would be a decent spec to play those types of game? Not sure how demanding they are. Yup, build your own bud. I'd budget £1k personally. Case 80 - 200 Power 50 - 150 Mother board 100 - 300 CPU - 150 - 400 Graphics card 150 - 500 Memory 100 - 200 Hard drive 40 - 150 The above is the average range of pricing for a decent build (Don't choose the bottom end prices for everything. But that gives you an idea of the break down cost) Edited September 2, 2015 by grundy225 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
