Gamers of the Magenta Lounge, what platform(s) do you enjoy?

I had a bunch of in-game credits saved up so I purchased the skins that I wanted. I usually jus buy loot-boxes for events if I feel I don't have enough time but I did not do that this go around. Main reason being my Vegas trip. Plus the new League skins have been the ones I have made use of on my main 3 characters.

I have only had the chance to play final Final Fantasy 7 so I am not to familiar with the intricacies of the system. I also tend to save up my credits but then I realized it was silly to do if there was a skin I really want like the McCree one.

Hey @tmo_chris - Late to the party here...PC games for me!   I never could get the hang of the controllers on Xbox or PS...for me a mouse and WASD are all I need.

Wow man I am impressed by the I9 but I believe for gaming it is a bit overkill and may even be worse at the moment due to poor optimization from many devs for many cores.  I also rock the 1080. I wanted to ask if your memory was in a quad channel config and if your motherboard supported that?

This thread is just painfully reminding me I need to make some PC upgrades.

I feel like until I force myself to go into my Steam library (so many summer sale purchases of shame that haven't been touched) and stop dumping most of my time into Blizzard games that can play on a potato, I am never going to. 😥

I have been eyeing up the threadripper platform from amd and the I9 as well for a upgrade. However, I want to stay with intel, but i need them to start supporting more PCiE channels and such on there lower consumer end like the i7.

Its a bit of a commitment to switch to PC gaming @jayfromtelesales​You will spend more money than you ever would with console gaming haha. I haven't played PUBG in a while but when it first came out on early access, it was basically unplayable even on high-end gaming rigs so I was surprised they were gonna move it to consoles. Bluehole is gonna have to do something soon or they are gonna lose all their players to Fortnite. Dang thing is going to be released on mobile soon!

@tmo_chris , I always loved those graphics on pc gaming much more. Of course its very expensive to keep up with the latest graphic cards, ram and all these. I got lost in a PC gaming lol. I play fortnite pretty often. Only cons to fortnite is wayyy to many kids playing . Its a pretty cool game though. If they're breaking the charts imagine when it comes to mobile! It will be similar to when Pokemon GO came out lol.

@tmo_mike_c , PUBG is very popular on PC. Personally I haven't played it but the game seems to be awesome . It's survival based, so basically you land in an island/city and loot the place for weapons, health packs and ammo. I was gonna buy Ghost Recon: Wildlands but I heard it's like a Call of Duty but with an awesome campaign.

I'll definitely look into it. What I'm wondering is when they gonna take that giant step and allow cross-platform playing!

I know Fortnite will make a big move putting Xbox, Ps4, PC and supposedly now Mobile all together cross-platform. That's gonna be crazy because someone on a PC will be able to move and play much faster while Mobile players wont lol. But it's gonna be pretty interesting.

Fortnite is alright TBH... Only cons is that there's too many kids playing sometimes and you have to mute them lol

But it's an awesome game to play.

Since Jay mentioned Fortnite, did anyone see the Drake playing Fortnite stream last night that broke a whole bunch of Twitch records?

I only watched a second of it, enough to see he was playing on console and was better than I would have expected rofl.

Yep!

Ninja, Drake, and I think kim dotcom? It was a random mix lol

Guys.........Sea of Thieves. So fun!!
