By HonestVapes Go To PostFirst PC is moderately stressful. Every subsequent build or rebuild gets easier so the people here that have built their own will have a skewed view on how it easy it is.Exactly thanks for being honest m8
My first build took a few hours, my third build literally took less than an hour and I threw it together before going to work one day. In a tiny af case too.
Are we talking about just build time or total time spent learning what to do?
I built my first computer in about 60 minutes but i spent lots of time researching what to do before the parts arrived.

I felt like my first build took about 7 hours. Vividly remember being sat on the kitchen floor painstakingly rewinding a YouTube step by step guide to make sure I was doing every stage right.
My most recent build took less than an hour despite being the first time I’d done it in 9 years.
PC building *IS* easy but your first time should still take you a few hours. I think half the battle is having an idea of the order of what goes where and when, and that’s something you’ll only really know and be confident of on subsequent builds.

And not giving a fuck about how you apply the paste. Unless it’s on a GPU like, then you want that full coverage.
I remember upgrading the GPU in my old prebuilt PC and that took me two hours to do because the shitty PSU didn’t have two 6pins for the GPU so I had to use a molex to 6pin adapter that seemed sketchy as fuck (yet worked flawlessly for years) and the case itself just didn’t seem to want to let the card’s I/O fit for some reason.
That was all before I ascended to being a “guru” though.
Last thing to add about PC builds. I’ve seen many so called experienced builders put shit together in dumb fucking ways. I’m not talking about the Verge fiasco either.
I’ve seen plenty of normal builds with asinine layouts, front mounted AIOs with fans exhausting out the front panel. Riser cables routed over a CPU cooler (that was on YT, mans went onto complain about poor temps). People filling every single fan slot on the case just because, without a single thought about the airflow.
On that note, my favourite nugget of knowledge is still “heat rises”, as if natural convection means anything in a PC case when the fans are directing airflow.

It is a kink, honestly.
Patching in Skate. controls. I wasn't a big fan of triggers being acceleration, so I'm real interested in this.
Out of the 2 or 3 skate likes that seemed to have popped up the last couple years Session has been the one I've been most interested in/watching. Hoping this change/addition goes well for them.

I’m having a super hard time playing anything lately. Even with next generation around the corner, I’m not feeling anything right now. Maybe Doom Eternal or Animal Crossing will spark my interest in March.

TheGameCollection are doing 10% off if you spend £75 upwards today btw, including preorders with the code ONEDAYPLAY
Got FFVII remake and TLOU2 for £79. Which still sounds like a lot. Bring back £30 on play.com :(
Is it safe to assume that there will be a Cyberpunk PS5 port pretty early on?

As far as I can tell it was only games where they had much better prices than the other emerging online stores, then Amazon started price matching/beating them and they didn't have enough of a foothold in other products to fend them off. Was probably inevitable even if they had, Amazon's growth seemed pretty much unstoppable from around 2005 to 2010.
Stopped even checking their prices when Rakuten took them over and changed the name.

Yeah when Rakuten took over it became truly shit. Before that it was still way cheaper for me, seeing as amazon are dicks about delivering to Denmark. Play was so much cheaper than anything I could get here though.

You can but there surely will be an enhanced edition of some games with better assets and models. Question is how they will handle it, i can see cdpr giving it to you as a free patch to download on ps5.
By Kawhic Go To PostYou can but there surely will be an enhanced edition of some games with better assets and models. Question is how they will handle it, i can see cdpr giving it to you as a free patch to download on ps5.The rumors around the new Xbox suggest Microsoft is going to do the Series X updates as free patches. They're supposedly going to have a Gears 5 update at launch to take advantage of the new box.
I expect this will be a case by case basis, though. I'm sure some publishers are going to upcharge you to convert to the Series X/PS5 version.
Just read that Dreams does input and simulation at 30hz even if the game is running at 60hz. Just put it in the bin tbh.

Dreams is incredible. Someone even made a less buggy Fallout 4.

Played one game all season. Current meta and issues have kept me away, hoping for change with year 5.
