    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    So what would be a reasonable cost to get one of these things from Facebook marketplace or eBay etc? Been trying to snag a 3080 ti for awhile now, and it just seems the instant they release, scalpers get them all. Same fucking story with almost every item on my bucket list this year. The...

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    Memories to me. When I played on p99 and somewhat on the Combine server, it took me back to a time where life was so mich different. Each time I would hit a zone again, so many memories of friends and good times would come flooding back. Those are memories that would never be remembered or...

    Lost Ark Online

    You can play the Russian version now. I downloaded and have put in about 10 hrs or so on it. The English translation is off quite a bit, but the only thing that really bothers me is that the loading screens that try to explain some concepts are still in Russian, so I have no clue what I'm...

    Last Epoch

    I have a level 100, and a couple in the 90s. There is far enough content to keep you occupied for awhile and there is enough at this point to justify the purchase. Your chars wont be wiped when the game goes live, but will be basically offline only and not on the multiplayer servers. So at...

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    I know this is a fairly slow moving thread, but figured I'd ask here. Throughout all my pc gaming days, I've gone from the old 14 inch CUTS, to the three screen eyefinity set up, to a 75 inch TV, to 120 inch projector. Right now, I have my pc hooked up to my Sony 900e 75 inch screen, and while...

    Lost Ark Online

    While it sucks, the future of free games as a service and a cash shop / dlc / lootbox model is the future. If you look at Madden for example, the game is hot fucking trash, but they have absolutely blown the top off of their revenue by doing that Ultimate Team bullshit where people pay wads of...

    Lost Ark Online

    I have now played the game. Got up to the point you actually start seeing other people in the world after you completed the prologue. Initial impression... GOD DAMN! After I found the option to reverse the mouse, it was incredible. No arpg has the sights, sounds, and feel of combat like...

    Lost Ark Online

    Preface...I have not played the game. Having said that, it looks like this is more of an mmoarpg than your typical arpg and thus has group content throughout the whole experience. Having people encouraged to roll alts and play will ensure a steady player base at all levels, vs every other arpg...

    Lost Ark Online

    I'm actually ok with all of this. The game looks phenomenal, the graphics and combat look amazing , and it's free. I have zero issue with a developer trying to make money from a product. There is zero reason , in my case , to feel I need to be a first to 50, first to a certain teir of...

    Lost Ark Online

    Would you mind elaborating just a tad on this needing a 2nd account thing? You mentioned you had 9x 50s on one account, and then 8x on another. What is it about the different accounts helps you generate the currency? Since this is a F2P game, as stupid as it sounds...why would be the benefit...

    Lost Ark Online

    This whole thing sounds right up my alley then. I have no desire to spend the time to worry about running bleeding edge content a few weeks into the US release. I enjoy arpgs and I enjoy mmos. Seems a blend of the best of all worlds. I am sick to death of the current mmos, Maybe not so much...

    Lost Ark Online

    Is there anyone here currently playing this title via VPN? I have no clue why, but this game is at the top of my must have list currently. Not sure if its because it looks new and shiny, despite being a few years old, or in fact an actual MMOARPG, which is quite different than the PoE / D3...

    VR Gaming - Oculus Rift, Playstation VR, HTC Vive

    I preface this by saying I haven't played Alyx yet. But I feel I can understand them going to more Quest type games due to the ability to draw in so much more money. I dont feel that I need some deep and engaging VR experience yet due to the headset getting uncomfortable after any extended...

    ..and to that end, Blizzards battleground changes that limited the exp gain boost and lvl capped you proved that no one wanted to pop on those terms too. I heard so much bitching about the 19, 29, 39 etc bracket players claiming they only twinked for fun and to make shit " balanced ". As soon...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I haven't followed this debacle, so I'm not referring to this case specifically. However, my entire opinion on the harassment and allegations claims made by women took a drastic turn once I entered the sports and entertainment realm. 4 to 5 nights a week, every week, we would have some of the...

    I'm not going to begrudge anyone that enjoys this type of pvp game, but I can't understand a single point of enjoyment that people find going zerg on zerg. Every pvp game that has any similar structure has the classes so watered down that all classes basically are mirrors of each other and it's...

    New World

    I think a lot of people love the launch time and newness of most moms. I dont think many of us could have predicted that even 10 to 15 years later, we would still be playing the same 3 to 4 mmos with nothing but failed attempt after attempt at any new ones succeeding. While I believe that the...

    Steam deck portable handheld gaming PC from Valve

    I dont know it's just me aging or what, but playing anything other than some sort of simple game on a handheld just doesn't feel right anymore. With our switch, we can hook it up to the TV and game for hours, but put it in handheld mode and I just can't enjoy any title on it. I enjoyed the...

    Last Epoch

    Last time I played it was a few months ago, so I may be relating a past performance with current iterations. I thought the combat and such was fairly well done for most classes. I maxed out a bow build at 100 and had another few classes in the 50s and can certainly say I don't regret getting...

    Regardless.of them selling faster than they can produce them, this has got to be one of, if not the most, lackluster launch lineup of games on either system.

    Great 4x games?

    Currently have an itch to play a modern 4x game. The last one I really enjoyed was Civ4. Currently have Stella's, but I guess I am missing something as I don't find it very fun. Saw a new game that is supposedly a cross of Civ and CK called Old World that looks interesting. Any here have any...

    I picked this up quite awhile back and planned on just playing it a few hours to see how it was, as I enjoy arpg games but don't like PoE. Well over 100 hours later, can certainly say I got my monies worth already. I'm not looking for perfection by any stretch, but Last Epoch is my favorite...

    Playstation 5

    I do find it somewhat interesting that for a console that has broken historical sales records, I dont know a single person IRL that has either the PS5 or Xbox. Usually my circle of friends are in the first adopter group, but none could find one and refuse to shell out $1k+ on them. It does...

    Poll EQ TLP Mischief or WOW Classic TBC?

    #1 You are not worth my time to even argue with in the politics thread because there isnt any more to add to the conversation since everyone despises your ass in the first place and you dont have any intelligence or substance worth debating with, its all trash. #2 I was guilded and raided with...

    Poll EQ TLP Mischief or WOW Classic TBC?

    Lol Wows success had absolutely zero to do with any fandom of those players mentioned. EQ had a small population as mentioned prior, but there were several mitigating factors in Wows success and not a single one was that some of the top raid guild leaders moved over there. Without making long...

    The leveling via crafting is popping an exp scroll and mass turning in master writs. Basically you only need to get the char up to lvl 10 to 12ish to have enough points to put into crafting to do achy/ prov / enchanting master writs and then go from 12 to cp 160 in about 30 to 45 mins. It was...

    I wasn't sure I would like VR or not and haven't followed the tech closely at all, so I didn't have to experience the first generation or two of VR and it's limitations. However, seeing as how I couldn't find a PS5 and was growing bored, just decided to get the Quest 2 on a whim. Figured I...

    VR Gaming - Oculus Rift, Playstation VR, HTC Vive

    I can not speak to what VR used to be or even been in the category that really followed it or cared. I was interested in a VR headset for racing / flight games , but due to Corona wiping out my job, that took a back seat as I could no longer justify buying an Index, wheel / flight stick and 80...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    To preface, I no longer play WoW or really any other MMO anymore, but do follow them. I am one of the ones that are a fan of the housing systems in various games like EQ2 and ESO. The idea of getting trophies and placing them on walls was so much better than a random +100 meaningless...

    Can someone shed some light into the GME rocketship of late? It wasn't long ago the stock was $2.47. All major console makers are going basically all digital, so the resell market won't be there much longer and they announced they are closing 1000+ stores. Their entire profit was derived...

    I dont think there is any rush to get either of the new systems out yet. If you have a somewhat decent PC, I dont see anything out yet that isn't playable on that except maybe Demon Souls, and in a side by side comparison to the games that have been dual released on both ps4 and ps5, its not a...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I was one of the top crafters in the game in EQ2 and either the first or second person worldwide to hit 50 in spell crafting and made every spell upgrade that a sage could make for FoH in the early game, so I do feel I have some sort of perspective on crafting there. At first glance, it was a...
