@Frobozz Welcome to the community! I'll see if I can't give you a tip or two at the thread you made

 

[Frindis]

I like playing mortal kombat

Welcome to the forums!. Any favorite character?

 

[kEczuP]

Hey there. I'm a veteran hardcore gamer that had a very long pause.
My beloved games: Quake 2 / Warcraft 2 / Starcraft II / CS 1.6 / LoL.

Recently I renew my passion to the games cautiously. I don't wanna waste too much time on it, but I don't want to miss out on all the fun - perhaps I will focus on watching streams, so prevalent now, which were my main treat when I finished my Starcraft addiction - and discussing the games with players via fora like this

High five.

 

[SWard]

A hearty welcome to all our newcomers!

Hi! You can call me Kate - I don't always tend to be the most talkative, but I do enjoy games! Currently I'm trying to finish up the Witcher 3 DLCS (I only recently got into the game) and am hoping to start mass effect soon with the legendary edition. My favorite genre is RPG, but I enjoy a good action and/or puzzle game too!

Hey everyone, names Dave and my tag on every platform is Pr0udCh0sen1. I have been using this site for a long time and I know I waited a long time, but I finally made an account and it's official, I'm part of the PC Gamer Gang!

I play every genre of games literally, I have three monitors in my game room all 65 inches, one for TV, one for console and one for main desktop as well as nice laptop. I'll post a picture when I can.

I have three Steam accounts and over 8400 games between them, I guess you could say I like buying and collecting games as much as playing them.

Although Steam is my main platform, I also play games on xbox one x and series x, Windows 10 platform (gamepass), ea play, blizzard, etc. I have tons of games on every platform. Too many to count, but the total number is between 14 and 16 thousand games. Crazy I know, but I am blessed to have a good career where I work from home for Symantec on the Norton Anti-Virus quality control team.

It's a pleasure to meet everyone as I hope to make some friends from here. Anyone can message me on here and if interested, I can make room on friends list for people as It's full at the moment.

Happy gaming everyone!

Welcome to the forum Dave, thanks for the great intro post

total number is between 14 and 16 thousand games

Now I feel far less guilty about my 2K+, thank you!
No doubt you've played all those, right?

I have tons of games on every platform

Do you know about GOG Galaxy or Playnite, which bring 5 of the main retailers libraries together into one interface?

Ah so you have tram lines in your room, and train wheels on your chair. Very nice, don't forget to keep it all oiled.

Enjoy yourself with us, I look forward to more quality posts from you

Welcome to all our new members!

 

[Brian Boru]

I read pretty much everything PC Gamer posts (again, for better or worse LOL) so I may as well join their forums and contribute where I can

Welcome to the forum

That's mainly why I'm here as well. Subscribed to the print magazine from soon after it launched in the 90s, and regularly visited the site for the last decade or so.

I look forward to your contributions

My name is Henry,USMC vet, retired, mid-eighties. I recently started flight simulation using XP-11 and MSFS 2020 on a robust Windows PC and am getting along pretty well. I want to work on my reaction time and it has been suggested to me that I look into PC Games. In the 80s I went through a half dozen game consoles starting with Pong and ending with Coleco amassing hundreds of cartridges which I sold a few years ago for hundreds of dollars - just had no more storage space.

I am interested in a couple of games along the Galaga idea and a car driving/racing games for this purpose. I have a flight yoke, rudder pedals, and mouse at my disposal for hardware but definitely do not want to control using a keyboard.

My system is a Win 10 64 Bit, multi core water cooled Intel X9 system, Nvidia 2080Ti, 3 32" 4K displays, SSD drives, etc.

Can anyone suggest games for me to try that I can play on my setup?

Thanks in advance,

Henry

Welcome otrman and thanks for your service. My daughter just finished Marine boot camp a couple of months ago.

You should be able to play any game on your setup, so that's not an issue. As far as Galaga goes, there's the Atari Vault on Steam that may actually have Galaga in it along with a lot of other, similar games that could be used to work on your reaction time.

You may want to consider a game like Cuphead (everything is basically on Steam if you aren't familiar with the PC gaming goliath) for reaction time; however, the game could be seriously frustrating for someone who hasn't been playing those types of games. If you are patient and don't mind dying over and over, take a look at it and see what you think.

Another game that may be even better for reaction times is Aim Lab, which is a game/tool used to help people improve at shooting games. Reaction time is a big part of it. It will tell you how you are performing and let you track your progress.

For something more fun (and related to racing since you mentioned that), try Forza Horizon 4. It's a fantastic racing game and not too far on the sim side. Can be possibly used with your flight set up, but is probably best with a controller or wheel (you can get good controllers for $20 on Amazon).

One thing you may not be aware of if you are kind of returning to gaming is the Xbox Game Pass for PC, which you can sign up for on any Windows 10 computer. I think it's maybe $4.99 a month for the first few months and then goes to $9.99 a month after that. You then have access to hundreds of games, including the Forza Horizon 4 that I mentioned. Since you don't have to pay for individual games, you could look around and try a bunch of different ones that might suit your purpose. With the Game Pass, you also get access to many games by Electronic Arts, like the racing games Need for Speed and various sports games that might help with your reaction times.

But, anyway, welcome aboard! Glad to have you.
