CS:GO is the best selling game on steam in 2015. Beats GTA V and Fallout 4.

Might be due to marketing, advertising and the Sheep lining up to buy Batman games.

 

Possibly.  Alternatively it may simply be most users computers don't have the means to play more demanding titles.

Bottom of the page shows most popular(most common?) hardware.  With dual-cores on HD graphics in the 2.3-2.7 GHz range, what can be played?

Dx12 is reportedly coming in January though.

Hope so. Last time I was looking forward to it but they kinda screwed up. They hyped it up until the release day in August and then cancelled it on the actual day of release. It was supposed to be the first DX12 game.

 

What are your specs? Can't see sig because of mobile.

i7 3770k CPU

8GB DDR3 1866Mhz

R9 290 vapor-X with plenty of OC headroom (haven't needed it so far)

256GB Corsair Performance Pro SSD

550 watt Seasonic Gold PSU

How did more people pick Arkham Knight than Mad max?

 

Might be due to marketing, advertising and the Sheep lining up to buy Batman games.

 

I got arkham knight free with my GPU, activates through steam so I guess that also adds to the counter

May the light have your back and your ISO low.

CSGO is great game dude with a shitty developer and a sort of toxic community.

2.5 million people bought FO4 expecting a good game :D

It's a good game.

 

@op lol comparing 1 month vs 12 let's calm the fuck down.

 

 

 

Should i buy it?

If you want to play a game for more then 1 hour/dollar, yes.

 

They essentially took Skyrim, painted Fallout on it and ruined it.

your opinion is like an anus, etc.

I disagree. It is a mediocre game fueled by a hype train. :P

Counter Strike Go is a piece of shit after the ranking system update. I can literally top frag every game and with my luck I get paired with autistic retards *no offense to people who are actually autistic you are all beautiful* which is what happened, deranked 3 games in a row, Gn4 loss, gn3 loss, gn2 loss, now I'm sitting at GN1 and won't play unless with friends.

If you're good you will rank up period.

You underestimate the power of the hype train. However long someone has put into the game, it doesn't mean the reason they did so is earnest.

Yeah, it's because CoD YouTube kids switched to this game and everyone and their dog hyped up the game this year.

Yeah, you'll definitely be able to run it at medium-high. Yeah, I was also disappointed with the dx12 delay.

Honestly I just played the game when I bought the Valve complete package thing on sale and I saw the game downloaded it and never stopped playing since then.

I dont play bad games for that long. I'm averaging .50$ per hour. I never claimed it was a great rpg. But it's a better game overall then Witcher 3 for me. Witcher 3 is a much better rpg.

So you are saying the most disappointing game of the year that failed to live up to it's hype is superior to the game of the year that is universally praised? Okay....

Why is that ?

Because I'm genuinely unlucky, my last game that I played it was a duo of people with horrifically bad internet "the guys name was literally HIGH PING FTW" and the other guy disconnected until the last second before he rejoined where he proceeded to troll because we kicked his teammate for sitting in base not doing anything. This happens to me about 2/3 of games. Other games the other team is simply better, but yeah I usually top frag and get about 20-40% more kills than deaths.

 

Of course any tips are welcome, I mostly play on Mirage and Inferno. I find it ridiculous that I'm deranking this fast, where as ranking up still takes like 8 games.

 

Edit: To add on to my unluckiness outside of CS GO, I won a Beats Pill from my Wisdom Tooth doctor brand new in package and the battery was broken rendering it basically useless, I also overclocked my graphics card and it broke the Ethernet port on my 990FXA UD3 *which as far as I know is unheard of*
