My GTX 970 comes in the mail tomorrow, and I want to get good use out of it. Honestly I have not played many PC games...I used to play Halo on PC back in the day, and for the past few years all I've played on PC are LoL (I'm diamond tier btw) and Minecraft. So I'm sure there's much to experience. With my 970 I want to see what I've been missing :) I know many here may scoff at this, but I've been a console gamer most my life :P

OMG! I played Tomb Raider on Xbox. I loved that game so much I might even get it again on PC here. Amazing!

But can my 970 handle them? Might need to run on low settings.

it's fine mate to have both console & pc and your 970 well play most new games with high detail & good fps

As long as you don't go past 720p, you should keep a stable 30fps on medium.

Yeah, might need to go 4-way SLI Titans to run Minesweeper at 1080p. Welp looks like I'm screwed for the next few years.

The walking Dead seasons 1 + 2 (telltale) if you like nice story driven game...

 

Bioshock: Infinite

 

Dead Island: and Dead Island Riptide

 

Both Trine games

 

Diablo III or maybe little bit older Diablo II + Lord of Destruction 

 

Also if you like RTS games there two very good game. If you like WWII themed then Company of Heroes II but if something little more big scaled then Civilization V GOTY,

 

Tough if you like adventure games then Tomb Rider (2013) GOTY or Batman Arkham Aslyum and Arkham City both on GOTY edition.  

Failure is not an option!

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm definitely planning on playing most of the Batman titles that is actually the first thing on my list :)

Planetside 2.

 

Drop into some of those 100+ vs. 100+ battles, clock as infiltrator(with the stalker cloak), and watch the tracers fly.

 

It should look like this:

Anyone who has a sister hates the fact that his sister isn't Kasugano Sora.
Anyone who does not have a sister hates the fact that Kasugano Sora isn't his sister.
I'm not insulting anyone; I'm just being condescending. There is a difference, you see...

i think borderlands 2 is very underrated, I play it a lot and i can tell you that game is a lot of fun. now you can get goty on g2a for about 15 bucks i would deffinitely reccomend the game.

^^^^ This. Borderlands 2 has so many hours of fun for what you pay. Definitely worth it. Also, the "Pre-Sequal" add-on has just been released, and I have heard good things about that too.

immo i think borderlands 2 is really overating. The fights are really slow, the loot is pretty boring, and it gets extremly repetetive after the first playthrought of the story.

well evreyone has a different opinion, but honestly i think bl2 is the most action packed fps game and the loot is "FUCKING AWESOME!"- Mr. Torgue, also i don't think it is repetitive you have so many raid bosses to farm and in the goty you get the four dlc's which ads a lot more to the game
