I might do this to play some of the games on X1., like titanfall.

cesuf4647d ago

I wouldn't wanna do that. It would have a bunch of bugs and you wouldn't be able to play it online.

KING854647d ago

A bunch of bugs? What brings you to that conclusion?

KING854647d ago (Edited 4647d ago )

The bunch of bugs can also relate to consoles hence why they're patches for both console and PC. I believe in many instances people talk about bugs when gaming on the PC because of fear of the game not working which occurs very rarely. I have yet to encounter a game that does not work on PC (not saying it hasn't for others). Consoles are more convenient in the sense because you have plug and play so in that respect Titanfall will easier for those who prefer that. I'm know many people play on Xbox Live so that's where their friends will be. Yet for those who want to play with a higher resolution and whatnot have the option of the PC version.

I use to build gaming rigs back when Half-Life 1 and 2 and unreal tournament were out. Computer gaming was way ahead of consoles back then. But these days the gap isn't the same and consoles are good enough for me.

Stsonic4647d ago (Edited 4647d ago )

The gap has widened. Consoles used to be the most powerful piece of hardware when they were released. The ps4 and Xbox one are more like mid to high range pc's.

Rubberlegs4647d ago

Compared to current console the gap is pretty big and it has been for the past few years. Next gen consoles are lot closer but it still wide compared to the type of setups you can do with a gaming PC.

Go to new egg, buy an ibuypower computer for $600.

Did that in March, I can play any game on Max settings and have it run flawless, on windows 8 even.

There are many rumors on the internet that aren't true. I didn't believe it was possible until I bought it and I've loved it since.

amnalehu4647d ago

The only game I would do this for is Star Citizen.

Stsonic4647d ago

Gaming PC is the way forward if you want to be always playing the most advanced games. Expensive hardware cheap games. Consoles have cheaper hardware and expensive games.

Seafort4647d ago

That's no longer the case for AAA games on PC. Expensive hardware, expensive games (£35-45) now courtesy from the likes of EA, Sega and Activision and a few other publishers.

Indie games are somewhat reasonable but they are creeping up into the £15-20 mark as well now.

Rubberlegs4647d ago

You need to shop at other places. Getting digital versions of games you find then for near half off from a few different sites and that's getting them day one. I hardly ever pay full price for PC games anymore.

There is all type of different sales going on too like Steam daily, weekly and yearly annual sales. There is also Humble Bundle which currently has a big EA bundle sale going on now. Dead Sapce 3, BF3 and several other games you can get as little as $5.

Seafort4647d ago (Edited 4647d ago )

yeah I do shop around but that doesn't negate the fact that publishers have increased the prices on PC over the last few years by £10-15 especially when there is no royalty to pay on PC games. This is just publisher greed as usual.

And publishers wonder why game sales have decreased over the years. You put the prices up you sell less. Simple economics.

Most of my 600+ games on steam came from the indie bundles and steam sales.

I recently preordered GTA5 on PS3 for £30 :P but that was a one off deal at Greenman Gaming.

pyramidshead4647d ago

Building your own computer is easy. Just learn what goes where and what comes out first and what needs to be disconnected and you're pretty much set. Working out what components you need may be taxing but if you buy the motherboard first it will have a detail on what's compatible.

I see it as expensive lego haha.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot1510d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw2501509d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface1509d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop1509d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno1509d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel1510d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps1509d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge1028881509d ago (Edited 1509d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k331509d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge1028881509d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH1509d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
