I think I definitely should play the Witcher 3...and maybe get COD Advanced Warfare. I am coming from an Xbox 360 (I absolutely loved the COD games). Any recommendations on some good games?

They're two of the most popular multiplayer shooters on PC currently, and have been for years, and will continue to be for years.

I will definitely give those a shot...so what is the point of having a nice gaming PC if you just play older games? (I don't mean for that to be condescending)...I mean with the console games you play all the new stuff you know?

You play them cos they are fun. And BF4 is still demanding on hardware and looks epic . . .

Give CSGO and BF4 a go. CoD is dying on PC imo.

Yeah I've never really done any serious gaming on a PC but it will be interesting to see how it is! I always here about CS GO but figured the graphics were pretty old

CS is about skill, graphics =/= skill.

Haha I guess so...idk I didn't spend some serious cash on a PC to not use it! Otherwise I could have spent 350 on an Xbox One. I am excited to play Witcher 3 though it looks badass

Half-life, all of them, they have pretty old and ok-ish graphics but those are one of the must play games for anyone.

Bioshock.

Fallout 3.

GTA SA.

CoD 4.

Skyrim.

Portal 1 and 2.

 

 

Having a beast PC doesn't mean you have to play games with fancy graphics, I'm sure there are people in here who would play Doom with a CrossFire/SLI setup.

Not to mention that the good games are most of the time older games.

The stars died for you to be here today.

A locked bathroom in the right place can make all the difference in the world.
