If you have any games you'd like to get information and reviews on, or would like to recommend to the community, this is the thread in which to do it. The only rules I'm going to lay down are: Be courteous. But you should know this, seeing as it is a forum rule. Don't rip apart the preferences of others, and no spoiling plot points just to screw with people. Don't spam. Again, kind of a common concept. Try to avoid too critical and direct of comparisons with BeamNG. The devs were kind enough to give us a subforum that could potentially divert attention away from their project. Let's not reward them by undermining their sales. Try to rationalize your opinions. A 'yes' or 'no' or 'omglolzgr8gam' is not very informative. Treat your recommendations like mini reviews.
I would advise anyone interested in WWII era aircraft or tanks to look into War Thunder. It's a free-to-play MMO still technically in the beta testing stage. They have lots of aircraft from the US, Britain, Germany, Russia, and Japan, and a few from France and Italy. As for tanks, they have a pretty good lineup for Germany and Russia. US tanks were just added a few days ago, so there are fewer of them, but still a good amount. The flight physics are quite realistic, driving physics are relatively good, and the damage model is for the most part quite realistic. The only problems are somewhat slow research for vehicles (especially tanks). They plan to add tanks for the other countries, and after that, ships for all 5 countries. War Thunder
If it pops up on sale, RAGE. Highly underrated game. As is typical for an ID Tech game it has incredibly satisfying combat, even the bog standard pistol is actually fun to use. While I played it I had a heck of a lot of fun. But that's the problem, "while", it was way too short.
Should I buy GTA IV for $7? I know GTA V comes out in a month but I am having serious doubts about whether or not I can play it on this PC....
That will game will probably be going up in 17 hours on Steam as a community's choice flash sale. I just voted it and out of the choices it looks like it'll win. Gonna be pretty cheap. - - - Updated - - - Well if you can't play games like that on your PC then no. I bought it and for months (before I got my new PC) I couldn't even play it at the lowest settings possible. It's somewhat demanding. But it's still a good deal. 7 bucks isn't bad but I got the whole GTA complete pack for 5 bucks a few months ago.. So it may go cheaper sometime soon.
For me it was. BeamNG was playable on low settings but this was just downright impossible to play. I was getting like 5 fps.
gta iv should run fine, i get 45 fps on lowest possible settings (including resolution) so since your gpu is far more powerful then mine, well, pretty self-explanatory
Steam needs to release a benchmark for the games. Like Mafia II has one in the main menu. It shows what you get FPS wise in the most GPU/CPU intense parts of the game. Edit- It runs good. Even on medium settings I'm getting 50+... That Windows Live stuff is a pain in the ass though.

I want to play some fallout game. Which is better, FO3 or New Vegas? I can afford either while on sale by selling my tf2 items.
Alot more to New Vegas than there is 3, although both are awesome. If you go for 3, don't install the operation anchorage DLC unless you basically want a cheats enabled run, that DLC was broken as fuck.
I'm so fucking cheap I'm buying games with market money, lel. Too bad crates take ages to sell, I literally have hundreds of the damn things. I could make like £2 selling all my crates :| I think I'm gonna buy NV. I can't afford the ultimate edition though, only the standard one. Are the DLCs as good as the Skyrim ones?
I don't have the skyrim ones so can't say. Haven't completed all the new Vegas ones either come to think of it.
You should get them now. Dragonborn lets you ride motherfucking dragons, enough said. Dawnguard has possibly the best questline in the game. Hearthfire lets you play the sims inside skyrim, 11/10 best dlc ever.
Just bought the aniversary edition dlc to surgeon simulator 2013, also available as a standalone game to people who didn't own 2013. Hilarious game but a little miffed that the extra stuff for iOS version had to be a paid DLC on PC rather than freeby update like ambulance and space modes were previously.
I should probably have my go with this thread... I'm pretty new to Steam, so the only things in my library are BeamNG.drive, the whole of the shared Half-Life/Portal universe (minus HL1 DLCs), and the recent purchases of Papers, Please, The Stanley Parable, and Receiver. I like mainstream stuff, but since I've missed out on years of indie goodness, I'm trying my hand at some more experimental ideas and a few odd AAA games I've missed over the years. I'm currently thinking of the first Max Payne and Psychonauts to catch up on some of the pop culture I was unfortunate enough to miss, and have been eying up Gone Home (I'll need something calm to keep up with the high-tension stuff), but have been deterred by less-than-perfect reviews. I'm also curious about Outlast. If I've missed something, or should look into something, suggest away.
If you haven't played Skyrim buy it right now and play it. Portal 2 is a great game, get it if you don't have it. And if GTA IV is cheap again you should get it then mod it until it crashes. I got EFLC for £2 last year.
