Help, I care an unhealthy amount about my Steam hours-played data
[ad_1] Years from now, how will each of us look back on our time spent playing games? “Fondly and with the opposite of regret,” is your answer, I’m sure, but no, I’m literally asking how—how will we go about reflecting on this? Where does the evidence that we lived a good gaming life, itself, live?…

Write for PC Gamer | PC Gamer
[ad_1] Perhaps you’ve noticed that there are a lot of computer games. And there are even more things happening in those games: patches, changes to the meta, weird bugs, fan outcry, insane backflip no-scope headshots, and Easter eggs, to name a few. How did the most recent Destiny 2 expansion shake things up? Who’s OP…

To bring attention to climate change, Ubisoft will burn down virtual forests
[ad_1] Later this year, Riders Republic players will log into their extreme sports sandbox and be greeted not by idyllic California cliffs and trails, but by grim orange skies choked by smoke. They’ll find that a gas mask has been put on their character. And they won’t be able to access certain map areas deemed…

POV: This cowboy falls out of the sky with a double-barreled shotgun pointed at you. What do you do?
[ad_1] VIDEO ABOVE: The incident. Please humor me on an indulgent Friday™ tale of western combat, dear reader. Last night I was putting another few rounds into my most-played game of the year, Hunt: Showdown, a stealthy, often slow shooter where sitting still in tall grass is usually a preferred strategy over bum-rushing. We were…

The next Hunt: Showdown update is pretty big

by
[ad_1] Crytek has prepared a swathe of improvements for its stealthy shooter Hunt: Showdown, including a fix for a longstanding technical issue: the dreaded desync teleportation that most of us have experienced when climbing ladders or trying to wedge yourself through the same doorway that your teammate’s in. The forthcoming 1.9 update is currently being…

The Not-E3 Awards: our favorite game and trailer
[ad_1] Not-E3 is over. Well, wait, isn’t it? Look closely and you’ll see it’s bleeding into the days and weeks beyond the weekend a bit, with Capcom putting on a presentation today (opens in new tab) and Ubisoft still likely to do something in July, we think. Even with the different format of this year’s…

Despite all the rage, I still managed to enjoy Battlefield 2042 this year
[ad_1] Staff Picks (Image credit: Future) In addition to our main Game of the Year Awards 2021, each member of the PC Gamer team is shining a spotlight on a game they loved this year. We’ll post new staff picks, alongside our main awards, throughout the rest of the month. Battlefield 2042 is one of…

The best gaming war movies are still made in Arma 3
[ad_1] At this point we take gaming’s power as a filming medium for granted. Machinima and other forms of footage are intertwined with games themselves, and from the moment new games are released, we expect folks on YouTube and other talented capture artists to break them open and explore their creative power. Just last week…

Buy one of these 3 Black Friday gaming PCs if you want to game at 1440p & 144Hz
[ad_1] About two-thirds of Steam users are playing at 1080p, according to the current, voluntary Steam Hardware Survey. There’s nothing shameful about 1080p—I can sort of remember how that screen resolution looks, if I focus very hard on what life was like during the Obama presidency. But if you want to experience more of the…
