Any upcoming game that has the potential to be the next BIG multiplayer hit like Fortnite, Counter Strike 2, PUBG or maybe even more popular than these?

I don’t know if it’s just a me problem but every time a game makes the alt button an action key I have to remap it other wise it just doesn’t work and instead just opens up my windows task bar.

And for the mods this not a support question just a discussion

I like PC gaming but I feel like I always have the most crashes, glitches, catastrophic failures while PC gaming. I came from Xbox, I love Xbox but the graphics (obviously) aren’t as crisp. I’ve tried like 8 different laptops and there are always crashes for random reasons (I assume). Over my entire Xbox gaming tenure I’ve probably had like 5 fatal Xbox crashes. Bit on PC (laptops) I’ve had so many catastrophic crashes for seemingly no reason. I mainly play COD (BO6 and MW3). My question is: Is PC gaming usually this glitchy? Or am o doing something wrong? I’ve had the following hardware:

Note: I often trade/upgrade on offer up

Z13 3050 Dell: 3070 Asus 4060 (three different ones) Asus 4070 Asus 4080 Asus 4090 And all have had catastrophic failures, either blue screen or just shutting down for no reason while playing COD.

I've been thinking recently, we've got a lot bad triple A games releasing even from historically great studios.

One of the reasons is because of great devs leaving the studios, where it then becomes a ship of Theseus situation where the studio name remains, but the great talent is no longer there. But there are also many other reasons for the bad games I'm sure and I'm not looking to go into them here.

What I've been thinking about, is developing a website that tracks game developers and where they are currently working at, along with comparing the dev teams working on current games with the dev teams working on older games within that same studio and comparing how much of the original team is still intact.

The aim is to try and usher in a culture where gamers follow the devs more than they follow the studios.

Think of it akin to wanting to see more of Hideo Kojima's work rather than Konami's work.

However Kojima is a superstar in the industry and a lot of other great devs are no names by comparison.

I want the website to focus on tracking all aspects of game development and not just the big director type roles.

So say you can see where a dev who worked on great musical scores in great games is working at next, and track his projects (upcoming games he's working on). He could potentially even garner a following and become a big name in the industry, similar to how Hans Zimmer is in the movie industry.

And you can track all kinds of devs in all kinds of studios so you can see 'oh this guy who worked as the writer for this game I loved is writing the story for this upcoming game by this studio I haven't heard of'

We can follow the people who worked on Black Flag rather than be excited about the brand name which now gives us Skull and Bones.

That way we can all start appreciating the talent behind the games we love and recognise when real talent is working on a game rather than studio husks.

What do you guys think? I want to gauge the interest in such a website, and even get some feedback and suggestions on features.

Let me know!

This is (for me) the best upcoming games on PC for February 2025, what is your favorite ? I thinks that Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 will be a great thing ! Avowed have a great potentiel and could be a good "Skyrim" "Oblivion" alternative.

4th : Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
6th : Ambulance Life
6th : Sworn
11st : Civilization VII
14th : Tomb Raider Remastered IV-V-VI
14th : The Legend of Heroes Trails through Daybreak II
18th : Lost Records
18th : Avowed
20th : Like a Dragon Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
20th : The King of Fighters XIII Global Match
28th : Monster Hunter Wilds
28th : PGA Tour 2K25

Why is every game I play these days so dark or depressing? Most of them describe post-apocalypse or dark fantasy and are quite challenging... (Yakuza 8 was the only exception) Is it just that I'm looking for this sort of titles?😂

If so why?

personal preference or medical reasons?

If a game studio goes bankrupt, what happens to the games produced by that studio? I assume that in such a case, such a studio would sell the rights to these games to another studio. Does such a studio have the right not to sell the rights to its games? If so, what happens to them? Are they free of charge or are they simply no longer available? I don't know exactly what I'm writing about here, but what is happening with such games

I am in the process of building a gaming rig for my son, and wonder how every one gets their games?

My son has been a console player (Xbox) for years and will continue to have access to the games on Xbox game pass, but the reason he wanted a PC is so he can play other titles.

So the question I have is, in the world of PC gaming, are there different ways of accessing PC titles without just buying each game separately (ie, PC equivalent of something like game pass)? Is Steam still a thing, or are there other things we should consider?

I often hear from people who grew up with console talk about the good old days and how games are not the same. I'm curious about PC gamers from the 90's. How do you feel about past PC games compared to today. Does it feel different in a bad way? Anything that disappoints you? Something missing? Anything else that is different?

Edit: Thank you for the responses so far! I have not grown up with PC gaming, so it is really cool to hear what it was like from so many different people. Also, I am of the opinion that gaming today is better than the past. However, I cannot deny that people feel that the past had something that the present does not offer. Hearing different people's perspectives has been very valuable!

Ok, stay awhile and listen.

I'm a 38 year old male, hybrid/remote desk job 9-5, wife, 2 kids 4 and 2 years old.

All good in general no major every day issues, super happy and tired with the kids, and pretty stable psychologically and emotionally.

I've played lots of games in the past and I was gaming every single day nonstop in the evenings 3-6 hours, and sometimes even during work hours (I know...).

After having the 2nd kid, for unknown reasons, I can't game. And I'll explain what happens.

I open Steam, Origin, Battlenet, Gog, browse through the selection of games and NOTHING sparks my interest. I feel void. Complete and utter disregard to play any of many wonderful played and unplayed games in Library.

I've started Baldurs Gate 3 again, and once the save game finished loading, I was like "oh fk me, can't be arsed for this shit" and immediately alt-f4'd. Same situation happened 3-4 more times with other games.

It's like I'm not attracted to video games any more, although I know I really, really like gaming. I feel like I've become asexual for video games. I feel like a bad joke's protagonist I rented an gorgeous escort, she undressed, I marvelled at the sight, then I was "meh, cba".

Work is more demanding these days, I'm a director of teams now, but its not that I'm working more or I'm stressed outside of work, about work.

Personal life is a chaotic mess with the kids, but there's a lot of happiness and joy.

So on my Friday evenings, my historically absolute favourite gaming day and time, when every cell of my existence urges me to go up the attic and sit on that desk, why can't I get up my gaming libido?

Who's "fault" is it? The kids? Work? Kids + work? Is it temporary, or have I become gaming-incompetent?

What is this? Has anyone else had something similar than this? Men or women with gaming-erectile disfunction?
