Original thread here, second one made by The Corparation here.

The people have spoken and it looks like I'm the OP for this installment of the Thread for Gamers. How did this happen? I didn't even want the job. Well, whatever, five hundred pages and I can shove it off on someone else and go retire to some beach down south and I'm rambling now aren't I?

So, NSG, once again the question is asked: how do you game? Console, PC, phone, arcade? Pinball? Pencil and paper? Board? We don't judge here, except for the utterly ridiculous amount of judging everybody does all the time. Don't lie, we all know it's true.

Anyways, I personally like PC gaming, although due to technical limitations and lack of a budget to upgrade I've mostly been stuck playing GTA V on my PS3. Also have a Wii but I haven't used it in Jesus Christ I don't even remember how long.

And with that, welcome to the latest incarnation of the Thread For Gamers! Have fun, try not to get banned, and remember that two plus two equals two!

I guess he or she is following the old rule of Capcom of never releasing a fourth game in a series.

By that logic, we should make the next thread TFG 6.

To be fair, Wis did name the last thread "Thread for Gamers 2: The Three is a Lie." so there technically wasn't a third one.

I wasted my life on consoles. That being said, Destiny was fun.

I wish for more frames and cross-platform capability.

AND ALSO: Release this on PC with save transfer capability.

For example, I still refuse to play NFSW because of the 30 FPS cap. Not only because they're trying to limit me, but because games are basically unplayable at anything less than 45 or so.

Not to mention when in-game situations become so graphically intensive, the hardware sometimes struggles to cope with the intensity.

I was talking about PC. My rig could easily get 80+ fps on NFSW, but the game is locked to 30.

Need For Speed World?

You mean Rivals right?

The game has a 10 year plan, as stated by Bungie.

Which means I will be 30 by the time the game ends. Damn.

My rule of thumb is that the framerate of a game should match the refresh rate of one's monitor.

Most monitors are 60 Hz, so 60 FPS should be the standard.
