"What.... is the minimum requirement for the Quick Hands perk?"

"What do you mean, statistic or level requirement?"

Also holy shit this part of Fallout 2. Can't go half a grid square without being buttfucked by deathclaws, xenomorphs, or mutants.

I thought this was supposed to be southwest california, not southwest florida

Downloaded The Long Dark as part of Game Pass. It's under 6 quid on Steam, so if I do want to pick it up permanently, it won't break the bank.

when i was younger i used to really enjoy one of the hitman games, are the newer ones any good, and what should i go for?

[MalaCloudy Black]

Both of them are very good.

The two most recent ones are really really good!

Like both Ruki and Cloudy said, the latest Hitman remakes are true to form on the level and even better than the original Hitman quadrology. Apart from Absolution, which was an abomination, the remakes got things completely right.

I think the only things you can mark down on (the new) Hitman 1/2 is that they came out episodic and thus you need to get every episode on its own to get the full package, I know that nowadays that's less of an issue since they sell complete editions that go on sale plenty of times, but that was a bit of a minus. Also, less missions, but that is offset by challenge modes and mission designers that allow you to make changes and challenges out of existing maps.

There are also a plethora of ways to go through the missions as with the original titles, and arguably there are a lot more permutations to happen within the missions depending on how you do them which can lead to different situations entirely.

Hitman 2 wasn't episodic. They did some post release DLC, but when the game first came out the entire Hitman 2 core experience was there.

One of the cooler things that they did was redo the Hitman missions in the Hitman 2 engine and make it all accessible from Hitman 2 if you owned the first one.

This week's Humble Bundle has Cities: Skylines and its expansions. £1 gets you the game and £14.50 gets you all the expansions. There's also a middle tier, as usual.

 Of course it does the month after I went full-ham and dropped $200 on it. Keep meaning to play it.

$200? That's insane.

I'll fully admit it was to do it in one go.

Dicey Dungeons is on sale and it's totally worth it, reminds me of a lot of dice placement games that I have.

So, I built a PC. I'm kinda pumped to jump into a whole bunch of new games, but I'm also wondering what you guys are into? Always looking for recommendations.

What'cha put into it?

Anyway,  can't go wrong with House Party ....

 

 

....but anyway I've been playing the shit out of Diablo 2 lately. Universe Sandbox is great if you're bored, wanting to kill time, and in the mood for either nice background music or being a sadistic chode. Crusader Kings 2/AGOT mod is also great albeit with a rather sizable learning curve if that's not your type of game.

But really, whatcha playing on console at the moment? Assuming that there's a PC port, you've got a decent starting point to work with.

I play a little bit of everything. I used to play a lot of shooters, and I still play a decent amount of Apex Legends. Been playing a lot of GTA V online recently, too. Some of my friends have tried to get me into League of Legends, but I haven't tried it yet. When I was on PS2, I was mostly playing Red Dead Redemption, Call of Duty, and MLB The Show a lot.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a good shout then if your rig can handle it. There's a lot of shooters like CoD and Battlefield to pick from.

[Schlitzbrille]

FiveM is a decent shout for online in the PC version of GTAV, also apparently doesn't affect the main install of the game so you can do GTAOnline proper as well.

If you like Survival games, Green Hell is very good, cheap, and one you won't have experienced on consoles. Will take up a tiny amount of memory too, which is good considering its impressive graphics.
