Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

Correct.

Dude, just hop on that Steam. It's easy. I use my Steam account for Civ V and various indie games. It's good stuff. Plus, if you really just use Xbox because you like the controller, you could pick one of these up.

He may not have a great computer...

Well, I did say "if."

I just bought 46 games that would run perfectly fine on a very low end PC for a total of $40. (see: Meridian4 collection, shooter collection, commandos collection, and a few other $1-$2 games like toki tori)

Well, what does he use to internet on?

[–]Geniusidiot 0 points1 point ago

A shitty potato computer like mine.

[–]V2Blast 0 points1 point ago

There are tons of indie games that run even on pretty terrible computers.

My xbox is collection dust tbh. The only game i might wanna get for xbox is spelunkey. Elsewise i only deal with my pc and ps3

[–]zxinsanebloodxz 2 points3 points ago

And this is why i am gradually moving to pc...keeping ps3 though...

[–]khaase7 0 points1 point ago

I agree I really am shifting toward PC but Sony has some great exclusives. Uncharted, Littlebigplanet, God of War, Jak and Dexter, Ratchet and Clank, and so much more.

[–]zxinsanebloodxz 1 point2 points ago

Exactly the reason i am keeping my ps3...

[–]DJSloth 1 point2 points ago

I'm an Xbox gamer too! I still have 110+ games in my Steam Library!

[–]LolFishFail 0 points1 point ago

That's why you should sell your console stuff to get a PC or save up. :)

I made a full switch to PC in may and it's amazing! fast loading, beautiful graphics, excellent framerates, huge servers and you can tab out at any point to surf the web for tips and stuff.

:D
