I was so bitter that EA didnt jump at the opportunity to make Battlefield V about Vietnam.  I'm a HHUUGGEEE fan of the online gamplay of Ghost Recon Wildlands, and EA could have run with the guerrilla warfare.... I'm still waiting for a Rockstar, EA, or Ubisoft to do a Vietnam era war game on the new platforms... Bad Company 2 was the last mainstream I can remember.   I may be missing some.

 

Would've been sweet.  BF:BC2 was my first Battlefield, been hooked ever since.

 

And you're not missing anything, no Vietnam shooters I can think of outside of Black Ops 1, which was probably my favorite Call of duty ever.

even that wasnt BASED in Vietnam, you were bouncing around doing missions all over the world.  I have to say the Modern Warfare series was my favorite, but Black Ops 1 was my favorite of the Black Ops series.  I've always been drawn to the realism games more than anything else, which is why I've favored the BF series with the ability to destroy buildings and the surrounding area.  I also love the nuances of bullet drop and other atmospheric influences that you dont find with the COD franchise.  

 

Have you played Ghost Recon Wildlands?

I'm with ya, the realness of BF I'd what hooked me.  Unlike COD, if there's an annoying camping sniper in a window, in Battlefield you can put an RPG into the side of his hiding place and bring the whole building down   and finding the right setup with attachments to get the perfect, manageable recoil. 

 

Nope, never pulled the trigger on Wildlands.  Is that the multiplayer open world FPS that came out about a year ago? It looked really cool but we didn't get it.

[purbeast]

Oh and the Devil May Cry 5 demo is boring as ****.  I liked those games on PSX but damn I never remember them being so boring and lifeless like DMC5 is.

Yeah, the STORY mode is open world but the online is actually PvP.  You can do the story mode as Co-op but it's not GTA style open world.  Range of maps, not all close quartered combat.  4 on 4, and teamwork is a must.  Unlike most PvP games, you can actually use the environment to your advantage.  Full range of camo options, ghillie suites, and other things so you can truly blend with your environment.  It's honestly the best PvP shooter i've found because I'm just not one for the run around, Akimbo gun, fastest to the trigger wins style gameplay.  Just not my niche.  You gotta get a squad though.  Playing mulitplayer solo can be tough because it is very tactical.  You can't necessarily blow up a building, but there are ways to attack a structure and do damage.  Mortar class and gas class have effect on building occupants if they're positioned near windows and stuff, as well as penetration ability with guns so you really can't just post up.  

 

If you like Battlefield you might want to check it out.

I'm looking for a little help but I don't know what thread to put this in so I figured this one might do.

My son has been begging me for a gaming computer and I want to surprise him with one for Christmas but I know absolutely nothing about them.

I dont want to spend a fortune but I Also dont want to buy a piece of crap that he wont be able to get to do what he wants with it.

If anybody knows about these things can they look at this ad and tell me if it seems like a decent deal.

He said he'd take 850 for it.

He told me he built the computer in 2012 and has put in upgrades since.

Now 2012 seems ancient to me for a computer but he said it's a little different with high end custom builds and that he takes excellent care of his equipment. 

 

Does this seem like something I should pursue or for that money is there better out there?

The thing I like about this is it's a soup to nuts set up and comes with absolutely everything. 

[Chew]

Dang man, you've got me all hot and bothered now LOL.  I'm all about teamwork and communication.  The game is kinda old too, I wonder if I could get a good deal.

 

You on PS4? add me if you ever want to squad up on the 'Field or COD.  Matt-chew82

I've never done serious computer gaming myself, but I've got friends who are as intense into it as you can be.  The thing I always hear is that they build it themselves, and it's generally a good bit less expensive than purchasing.  Have you considered getting with your son and building one together?  Give him some sort of a voucher or credit limit and you two can do it all?

I'm not a gamer so I don't think I'd be much help but that's a good idea.

Sounds like your son is into it... not sure how old he is, but it might be good for him to do the research and understand the system as it comes together.  It will help him develop the ability to do the stuff in the in future too... plus it would be cool for him to be able to tell his buddies he built it.  I could be totally off base here, and maybe someone can elaborate, but I believe most of it is replacing whole components... not necessarily building the individual boards. 

[purbeast]

Yeah building PC's is basically putting like 8-10 parts together.  I've been doing it for 20 years or so since highschool.  I haven't built one in the past decade though just because I don't do PC gaming and I use my MacBook Pro for pretty much everything I do with a PC now.  My desktop never really gets use and hasn't been upgraded in probably 10 years.

 

You just have to make sure that the parts are all compatible.  Such as your CPU will fit in the motherboard you got, and that the RAM is the correct RAM for both CPU and mobo.  Also gotta be sure the power supply is compatible.

 

I also don't think the cost savings from building your own PC now a days is nearly as great as it was back in the day when it was a niche thing.

I just built a gaming PC last September, it probably was slightly cheaper than buying a name brand one.  It's fun, I'd recommend anyone do it at least once if they are able to.

Basically, you purchase a motherboard, processor, memory, video card, hard drives (solid state for operating system and regular one for storage), DVD drive, power supply, CPU cooler, operating system (Windows) and case.  Then put it all together.  Biggest thing is making sure all those parts are compatible and will fit in the case.

@redskinss That build looks pretty good to me, with exception of the video card.  @PokerPacker knows his stuff and can probably provide better insight than myself.  I gave him my budget and he designed my PC for me, I only made some minor tweaks as my budget increased a little (went with a better vid card and different case).  

 

I'd make sure that the video card could be upgraded to at least a 1080 Ti and fit in the case:  https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/geforce-gtx-1080-ti/

 

Edit:  of course you could upgrade it in the future if it can be upgraded, cause those cards are pretty pricey.

[purbeast]

Have video card prices gotten a bit more back to normal now that crypto is tanking and everyone is abandoning mining?

[PokerPacker]

@redskinss, I'm going out momentarily, but I can give you more of a review when I get back (or tomorrow).  What I can say is from the brief look-over of parts, that computer is about on par with mine.  I've had mine for a number of years and only really upgraded the GPU (to a GTX 970 I got for free).  It should be able to to handle any game, but it is far from the most powerful on the market these days.  The price doesn't seem right to me for second hand parts at that level, but I'd have to spend a little more time looking it over.  I feel like I could probably put together a more powerful machine with brand new parts for around that price, but I'd have to look at prices for things again.

Thx for the offer but I ended up getting it.

The guy was real nice and had all the right answers.

I kind of agree with you that the price might have been a little high but with all the extras like a 300 dollar headset I dont think I got taken for a ride or anything. 

It started up in just over 5 seconds and was super fast and I could clearly tell this guy took excellent care of it (he still had every box) and I don't think I could really do any better than what I got for the price.

He still had all the receipts and they totaled just over 2 grand so I think I did alright. 

My son is gonna flip out when he sees this thing, I so don't want to wait until Christmas to give it to him.

Lol.

Ended up turning all my stuff off after I kept getting spammed by something (or a ton of different people... Or the same person) back in the spring, so I got annoyed and just turned all my friend request **** off to make it stop 😂
