Awesome man, you will love it. Make sure you not only check out the casual AAA titles with those amazing graphics. I find that those usually suck big time, but hey i am weird. You might want to check out my youtube channel to see some games that are truly amazing but overlooked by many. www.youtube.nl/madmenyo

I am sure you will love PC gaming because it has everything the consoles have to offer times ten.

I would love to name a couple but since i just got moderated due to "spam or advertisement" on my own thread asking for help for my new game i cant. No i did not post a name or a link. So i guess i have to report you all for spamming and advertising those great old timers. Yes these boards are weird, and yes i am steaming.

Lookup the steam store for rpg's. You get a lot of good quality games for small money from the indie developers.

Maybe try a different genre, or some old diamonds out there. Leagues of legends got me addicted for a while when i suffered from the same. As well as dwarf fortress and open transport tycoon. Yes all free games because they care about gameplay, not money. Other then that, try enjoy RL some more. Instead of buying a new game take a road trip to a city and explore the world ;).

I'm recoring for a long time now and i bought fraps (don't look at the first couple of vids in my sig they are crap, the CivIV ones are awesome with fraps). But fraps needs directx games to record and i'm recording old games too that don't support that. I'm still using hypercam and camstudio for a lot of games, especially old ones that do not require much process power so you can compress on the fly and don't end up with 1 terrabyte of footage after an hour of play and you can immediately upload it to youtube. some tips: Get H.264 codec, it has the best quality to size ratio. Make sure your audio is sync otherwise you have to lower the compression setting. To increase performance with compressing on the fly: In the H264 settings you can put the preset to ultrafast, make it single pass bit rate based and the more bits you use the less power it takes to compress. Even at a very large bit rate your video's will take up a fraction of what fraps does. Get virtual dub, you can easily edit and (re)compress your video's with it. Also for the old games sometimes it's preferable to stretch them up a little bit so you can reach the 720HD quality, it looks much better then 480p. You can also add black bars to it if you have to stretch it up too much. In virtual dub, if you recompress, turn on recompress instead of full compression this shaves off a lot of time but takes away a tiny bit of quality.

imho, nowadays gameplay sucks. In the passed they could not make these good looking games so they had to offer good gameplay. Nowadays they have to invest most of the money in art and performance, that means they take away from gameplay design. Also the gaming community has changes, people want easy games, they don't want to think to much about character builds, backtracking a map, start over once dead. Ok contra or ghouls and ghosts take it a bit too far for me but i'm an old gamer and i want challenge, use my brain and get satisfaction out of my wins. But these days are mostly over.
