Buying New Game

Tummy

Posted

Hello,

 

Me and a friend want to buy a PC game we can play together, we both have resonable PC's (GTX 760 and R9 270). We want to buy a game but we have no idea wich one, we are both pretty poor (about 40€ budget) and don't have really mutch time so an game like ARK is to time consuming. Does anyone know a fun game that we can play together without breaking tha bank and requiering you to play almost every day?

You have a genre in mind? Because with what your provided there are literally thousands of options.

Hehe, for a FPS game, Battlefront II 2005 is less than $5 right now on GoG AFAIK, and it can run on basically any PC that still works, and has a massive modding community so you can make it look nicer and use different units. 

 

Republic Commando is also a great FPS game, where you command an AI squad on secret mission behind enemy lines during the Clone Wars. 

 

For RPG games, KOTOR, KOTOR II, and TOR can run pretty easily on most PCs, and are either free to play or about $5-$10. 

 

And for any other games, IDK. Since I don't know of any Star Wars games in other genres.

CSGO, BF4, Star Wars Battlefront, Maybe PUBG

Can defo vouch for Battlefront, it's pretty easy to run. @Abyss Gaming plays it at medium on a 1080p ultrawide, with a GTX 660. Which I'm assuming is below a 760.

Yep, their PCs can run all those games fairly well. Except PUBG, that's a stretch.

Sometimes. From what I know, PUBG can run great on some systems, and then not on a different one with identical hardware. AFAIK it's pretty finicky.

Yeah, but they will hit VRAM caps quick. 1080p low can use 3.5gb+ of VRAM. And I'm assuming that they both have 2gb cards.

7 days to die, rainbow six Vegas 2, counter strike, Garry's mod (needs half life 2), minecraft, borderlands (any of them), rainbow six siege, call of duty (mw3 has a survival thingy, black ops has zombies, black ops has multiplayer bots), arma (join a clan that mods. They'll do operations and it's tons of fun), swat 4, natural selection 2, Sven co op (needs half life 1 I think), dead island is shitty but fun with friends, dayZ or a dayZ clone, day of defeat source, space engineers, gears of war ultimate or 4 should be fun-especially with hoard mode, 

 

duck hunt is arguably 2 player as well but you need a NES. :P 

 

league of legends is free, just be warned of salt and toxicity. 

Fortnight battle royale is free. 

DOTA 2 is free

world of Warcraft is free up to level 20. 

Heroes of the storm is free. 

War thunder, and some other WW2 games are free. 

Halo multiplayer forge is free on windows store.
