Insurgency: Sandstorm is a team-based, tactical first-person shooter based on lethal close quarters combat and objective-oriented multiplayer gameplay. They are pure stress with no ending or look-back to congratulate yourself.Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page: I never once played a console shooter and felt happy or content when I was done. Let them plan and work together to accomplish a goal and it’s okay if they turn it off after an hour and feel good about their experience. Give those fans stuff like insurgency and squad. There is no “win” bc it’s constant stress and grinding. Aside from not being actually fun, I honestly think they do a lot of harm to mental health. It’s a lot of dings and whistles meant to keep you thirsty and in a panic mode. The current AAA console model is like a slot machine. You can turn it off after a mission and go to bed content with your hobby. When you complete a mission you feel like you did something. These tactical games are awesome and also GRATIFYING.
I really hope the consoles can get actual tactical games bc right now everything is a twitch shooter with childish skin customizations.
I switched from Xbox to PC precisely bc of this problem.
Depending on the version of DayZ you intend on playing (haven’t heard anything good about Standalone, and Arma 2 can most definitely play on any modern rig), you may have issues here or there, but IDK anything else regarding that, unfortunately. I have no interest in GTA V (burned out on the X360 version), but that’ll play on pretty much anything.
Sandstorm does stutter here and there, but that’s usually only when I try playing those utterly ridiculous 40~50 bot co-op servers. Predator Helios 300 with an Intel i7, GTX 1060, and 16GB Corsair Vengeance laptop RAM. Anything over that amount is just future-proofing. Any $500~$700 desktop set-up will run mostly anything today well.
With a rather cheap and easy RAM upgrade, Arma 3 plays stutter-free on mixed High/Ultra settings even with the ACE3 mod that’s known to bog the game down.
I bought an entry-level gaming laptop (a desktop would’ve been cheaper but I didn’t have the space at the time) for $1,200.
