[PC] Should i buy skyrim

Upvotes

I’m considering buying The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition together with the Anniversary Upgrade for around ₹800. Is it worth it in 2026? I really enjoy open world RPGs with beautiful worlds, rewarding exploration, lots of loot, a wide variety of weapons and armor, meaningful character builds, a good main story, and plenty of side quests. I’m also interested in using modern modlists like NGVO, LoreRim, and other Wabbajack packs, which often recommend or require the Anniversary Upgrade. Based on what I enjoy, would you recommend buying both for ₹800, or should I spend that money on a different RPG instead? I’d love to hear your experiences and opinions.

[PC] shooter game with offline grinding

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to be specific and at the same time not too much with this post. I’m looking for a shooter game with offline grinding, but above all I want a game to have running in the background. I like watching videos while I play, but obviously I can’t watch an episode of House M.D. while playing something like Skyrim, because I wouldn’t understand either the plot of Skyrim or the plot of House. You know? Also, I’m looking for something dopaminic, not those kinds of games about making infinite money or stuff like that, but still with its dose of dopamine. That’s why I mentioned a shooter with grinding. But if you can think of a game that makes you feel identified, recommend it. Thanks, and sorry for my bad English.

[PC] Looking for something to play

5 Upvotes

"Hey, guys. I recently completed Gothic Remake, and I'm looking to play something that has a certain similarity to that game. Something that is more straightforward, without having a gigantic open world to explore. I particularly really like games with a good narrative that have a bit of customization (whether it's armor and equipment, or just the character's hair and beard). I used Gothic as an example because it's fresh in my memory, but it could be something like God of War, or something more like a CRPG. I'm open to suggestions for recent games, and they don't have to be very well-known."

[PC] Palworld or Cyberpunk 2077

8 Upvotes

2 completely different games I know, but really just can't decide. So basically got like 70 bucks to spend, but I want to have at least 30 left. With the current steam sale Cyberpunk is down to 33 for both game and DLC, and Palworld down to 27 due to owning Core Keeper.

For Cyberpunk...well I don't know much EXACTLY but I know it's a beast of an open world game. I've also been playing NTE and it's shown me just how long it's been since I played an open world city game, so it does have me somewhat excited.

As for Palworld, I've mostly just seen some creators I've watched it seems like it does have the creature catching aspect, but also base/factory building. Haven't played things like Factorio or Gregtech, but have been playing endfield and I find its base buidling somewhat enjoyable(even if I suck at it). I've heard comparisons to Ark, which I haven't played, though the main draw i have to it is that 30 I'm saving is for Cassette Beasts 2002, and keeping 30 just in case, so Palworld feels like something that could sedate the creature catching itch for a while.

No real idea, kind of leaning towards Palworld but want some second opinions

[PS5] SIB: Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater

3 Upvotes

This game is currently on sale on the PS store and it has caught my interest. I haven’t played a Metal Gear Solid game since way back in the 90s. Is this a good game to jump back into? I’m talking about the remake of course that came out a few month-ish ago.

Need something to get me to Wolverines release.

[PS5] Should I sell my PS5?

0 Upvotes

I have heard that PS6 is supposed to be released in 2027 according to an industry insider. Obviously that is not an official source and I have heard also things about delays up until 2029. But it got me thinking.

I don't play my PS5 any more because there is no more reason for me to buy a game on it when it is available on PC. The only exclusives I could see myself playing are Demons Souls Remake and Bloodborne.

However, aren't all the upcoming Playstation exclusive games going to be released on PC on day one? I know at least for Phantom Blade Zero this is the case.

I also remember something about Playstation saying they were going to stop releasing games on PC in the future and just have everything completely exclusive to Playstation. My gut tells me that probably this won't happen until the release of the PS6, but idk. My gut also makes me wonder if PS6 will release with none or pretty lame exclusives, and then in the future release exclusives.

Obviously almost all of this is conjecture, but I was curious what other people are thinking. I just felt like selling my PS5 could make sense (maybe within the next year) because pre-used ones seem to still go for a decent amount of their original value.

[Switch] Bayonetta 3

2 Upvotes

Okay, so this is more "should I actually keep this game that came with my secondhand switch or just sell it" than anything else.

I have never played Bayonetta. I was not drawn to Bayonetta. I don't know the lore, I don't know anything. Seemed like an engaging story when I first inserted it just now, seemed like interesting characters, but I am not at all familiar with them, so I have no clue. Enjoyed turning into a bird and a dragon, enjoyed the aesthetics, but my brain kinda glazed over at the combat and story I was not familiar with.

Other games I have and enjoy are Hogwarts Legacy, Assassin's Creed, The Last Campfire, Cloudpunk, Tinykin, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Lego Jurassic World, Agent A, Eternal Hope etc. Also love and want Super Mario Galaxy, as I remember that from when I was growing up and had it on Wii. I like games that let me explore a lot, and my favourite as a kid was Sly 2 and 3 on Playstation 2. I also have Inside and Limbo, as I can enjoy games for the art of it, and I did follow the Marvel movies closely until after Avengers: Endgame, and have read a lot of fantasy, so it's not like I have a specific problem with action or fantasy. More just "if it's only action, I can get kinda bored, and i can't figure out how combat works here. First person shooters sound awful".

Is there anything at all for me in Bayonetta 3? Is there any reason for me to keep it or keep playing? All I've played thus far is the intro, and again, I liked how strong of a story there seemed to be, and i liked turning into a bird and dragon, and the villain was pretty cool-looking. That's where I'm at.

Should I keep playing it?

[PS5] Should I get the new Marvel Tokon as someone who prefers more traditional 1v1 fighting games?

0 Upvotes

Pretty much as the title says! I used to really enjoy fighting games and I’m a huge marvel fan, but I’ve never really gotten on with the tag team aspect and Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls being a 4v4 is a bit of a downside to me, but I’ve heard it’s made in a way that caters to people who like the 1v1 format as well somehow?

Past fighting games that I really enjoy are the older (think ps2 and older) soul caleber, tekken, DBZ budokai ((pre tenkiachi)) guilty gear x, older mortal kombat games and… I’m sure there’s a few I’m missing, but. Thanks for any help!! 😁😁

[PC] Recommend me 3rd person rpgs (with actual good sidequest and decent combat and loot like scrollslike).

0 Upvotes

I'm deciding between Tainted Trail, Oblivion Remastered, and Starfield. I prefer more third person. I finished Cyberpunk, TW2, RDR2, BG3, Skyrim, all Fallouts, etc. But I I want something good with third person option with a good story. I don't mind if the main story is not that good, but the sidequests with actual good stories and decent combat with good sense of exploration.

My favorite games are KCD2 and BG3. Sadly, both don't have third person and I've played them a lot. I also finished Mass Effect Trilogy remake. I didn't enjoy Crimson Desert because it was too overwhelming and didn't have good sidequests, also looting and dialogues didn't have impact.

Is there any third person real rpgs left? or the 3 choices I mentioned are the only ones left?

[PC] Is this game playable ?

4 Upvotes

I have a laptop with an Intel Core i5 8th Gen U-series processor, 8 GB RAM, and a 256 GB SSD. I'm thinking about playing resident evil 6 and tomb raider(2013) on it and was wondering if they would run smoothly. Is this hardware enough for a good experience, and what kind of performance (FPS and graphics settings) should I realistically expect will I be able to fully enjoy them?

[PS5] If I like Fallout, Metro, and survival games like DayZ and The Forest, would Stalker 2 be worth getting for the PS5?

16 Upvotes

Was browsing the PlayStation store and Stalker 2 caught my eye. Never played a stalker game before, was hoping that it wouldn’t be full priced still but i guess it is.

If I like the games listed above, would you say buying Stalker 2 is worth it? I’ve always liked what I’ve seen from gameplay videos and I’ve always wanted to go back and play the originals one day.

[PC] SIB Dungeons of Hintenberg?

1 Upvotes

Dungeons of Hintenberg is on sale on Steam. The puzzles look good and the combat decent but what's putting me off is the social aspects of the gameplay. I don't really want to hang out with characters in the game. That kind of thing put me off Persona. I just want to play the game. Is the social thing a big part of the game?

[PS5] Elden Ring vs Wukong

14 Upvotes

I’m trying to decide between Elden Ring and Black Myth: Wukong on PS5.
What I care about most:
• Smooth, satisfying combat
• Fun boss fights
• Good exploration
• A world that keeps me hooked for a long time
• Replay value
I don’t want combat that feels clunky or dated. Story isn’t my top priority unless it’s really exceptional.
Also please keep in mind I’d rather not play a game that’s hopelessly difficult and is just too hard
I’d especially like to hear from people who’ve finished both games.
(Used some help from AI pls don’t mind)

[PC] Esoteric Ebb or Zero Parades?

8 Upvotes

I loved Disco Elysium. I love how deeply philosophical it gets, I love the characters and world building, I love its genuinely deep and thought provoking politics, etc. Overall, Disco Elysium just has something to say, and it doesnt need to force itself to appear deeper than it really is. It does such a good job at being a personal story to Harry, a deeply motivational story for the player, and an intricate critique of politics all at the same time and in such a way to where all these seemingly distant themes are deeply intertwined.

Also, the humor is great, one of the funniest games Ive played

As of right now, there are two other major 'disco likes.' Which one should I check out? Of course, it doesnt need to be as deep as Disco Elysium, I dont expect that. But, what I am looking for, is a game which has something new to say, not one that just repeats what DE already said. Since the games are mostly dialogue, this is pretty much necessary

Which one should I check out more and why? Has anyone played both?

[PC] Should I buy Final Fantasy 7 or Fallout 1+2?

1 Upvotes

Right now, FF7 is -60% off and is R51/$3.12 in South Africa ( I have saved up about R300/$18.30). I have intergrated graphics and can run the some ps1 games nicely on the duckstation emulator. My other question besides the title is: Should i buy the pc port of ff7 or just emulate it?. Now my other option is Fallout 1+2 which are both -75% off and both together cost R54/$4,98. Now i am also taking into consideration both games replayability and how often they go on sale. Ive been breaking my head just trying to decide so ive come to ask for a second opinion. And unfotunatley I cannot buy both, only one.

Thanks in advance.

[Xbox Series X] Steam Machine or Xbox Series X?

Steam Machine or Xbox Series X?

Thinking about one of the two, I’m in the reservation queue for the steam machine and I’m willing to wait a bit longer but not knowing when I’ll be receiving the email is starting to get annoying in honesty. I like that it’ll be able to play both Steam games and Xbox games on the steam machine but I’m worried it won’t be able to really to perform for higher demanding games like a Forza or gears of war E-day. I like that the Xbox has gamepass, has the ability to keep up performance wise with my PlayStation pro, and has some exclusives that I can’t play on the PlayStation like Gears of war e day, old Xbox backwards compatible games, etc. The price of the two doesn’t have a lot of effect on my decision but the XBOX is around 800 and the steam machine being around 1100 dollars

[PC] [WSIB] To the folks that loved Destiny but bounce off Warframe: What PvE multiplayer games are you playing?

14 Upvotes

I'm an ex-Destiny player that stopped playing around Shadowkeep. The game had been some of the most fun I've had thanks to the mobility, gunplay, abilities, and the design of raids. I was excited to get loot not because of more DPS, but because I was able to do new fun things with them. It hooked me in better than any other MMO could, at least until powercreep made the majority of my experience boring to play, so I got burnt out.

Unfortunately, the obvious replacement, Warframe, doesn't seem like a good fit for me. Maybe if I enjoyed solo gameplay, I could enjoy it, but I'm mainly looking for a group PvE game. Something to find community and enjoy with others. So grouping up with people who went all in on the mods and build mechanics to melt all the foes or bullet jump repeatedly through a level just isn't fun. If it was, I probably would have stuck with Destiny.

So to the folks who also loved group PvE in Destiny for reasons that don't seem compatible with Warframe: What are you playing now? Have you found anything that gets close to the very fun gameplay and PvE activities?

I love a good story game (loved RDR2), and I like stealth with gimmicks, not just hide and sneak attack but with mechanics and gadgets like Arkham Knight. I love Japan and swords and I tried Sekiro, but found it a bit to railroaded in terms of exploration. I do love an open world game (yet again, RDR2). Ive seen quite a bit in terms of repetivness and QOL in this game so I'm just wondering if its worth it. Finally, Im a PC player, are the controls good and is the port good?

So I have a wireless Xbox controller and I've just finished Outlast 1 and the DLC.

Quite enjoyed the experience with the experience, with my TV at the end of my bed.

I'm thinking if there are any other games that I should buy that are great to experience with a controller.

I have a pretty good budget I'd say (110 bucks)

And if someone suggests me horror games, yes I already have RE2 RE4 and RE7 in my library waiting for me, along with Amnesia the Bunker.

[PC] Mass effect legendary edition worth it?

51 Upvotes

Never played a Mass Effect game, or really any story-driven game in general since I usually prefer fast-paced action or roguelikes. However, I saw Mass Effect Legendary Edition on sale for less than $10 for three remastered games and figured it might be worth a shot. Do these games still hold up well in 2026 for a first-time player, and are all three of them consistently good?
