I see the similarities with Titan fall but not the comparison; maybe it’s been awhile since I played TF2

The gunplay/feedback of the weapons is the same, as is the universe it takes place in. I guess what I am saying, is if I want to play a battle royale, PUBG does this best. If I want a tight, fast paced FPS, then Titanfall 2 does it best. This game sits right between the two.

Played a few hours over the weekend. Beautifully detailed and mostly fun, but also somewhat annoying. Fairly complex control system takes some getting used to; I kept accidently switching out my primary weapon when looting bodies. There also doesn't seem to be a quest log, a very limited HUD with no directional markers (there's a wrist compass, but it seems fairly useless), and like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. the player character doesn't level up; instead he just finds better shit as the game progresses. Plus, the wife character is already getting on my nerves - sort of like a bossy Lydia who keeps getting into trouble.

But that aside, the gameplay is great.

PUBG is the best in my opinion

Exodus looks like a blast

Something that could play current, and immediate future games at fairly high settings? $1.5-2k? I can afford that pretty comfortably right now. Just not sure if its worth it when I only play about 5 games a year. The game looks great on PS4 Pro but I'm sure its really something else on PC.

that will get you a good high end PC if you build it yourself

I’ve never attempted anything like that before. Know of any good guides? Should I just google/YouTube it?

Also check out Tom's Hardware. It's a good place to get advice. Their forums are also excellent.

When you get to actually picking components, hit up PC Part Picker.

Start a thread with a budget and your intended usage and see if someone will recommend a build for you.

one of these days, I'm going to build, or have someone build, me a computer that will be robust enough to simply run a flight simulator. I'm not there yet, but once life calms down a bit and I can get a dedicated spot in the house or basement to build a place for the sim (i've got yoke, throttles, electircal panel etc, cockpit attachments) and set up a multi screen flight deck/cockpit....I'll pull the trigger on a computer.

CP will be my first stop if/when that happens. Lot of knowledeable folks on here.

I might do this. Will probably have to wait until the end of this semester. Not enough time right now. Thanks, everyone.

I will warn you, it is a serious undertaking. Luckily one of my best friends is a high level computer geek, and with his assistance/supervision I've done most of the work on my last couple of builds. Swapping out components once it's done isn't so bad, but I wouldn't attempt an actual build without him actually being there. It's a bitch. So many ways you can screw it up, and expect at least one component to be defective, even if you paid enough that it shouldn't be. Last time one of my RAM sticks was bad. The hardest part, though, is running all the goddamn cables and making sure they're connected in the right spots. It's not exactly intuitive.

Unless you are completely confident in your ability, I strongly suggest that you find somebody knowledgeable and experienced to help you. And get a big case. That makes it much easier, but even then it's a major pain.

Good luck.
