PC games: what is moving gamers right now?
The typical computer games are definitely real classics. Many a man may still remember his first »PC gaming attempts«, which began with the MS-DOS computer being started up via a command so that the wonderful games of the system, or the playable games, could reveal themselves. Since then, a number of bytes have flowed through the processors and gamers can not only enjoy brilliant games but now also receive games on demand. In general:
Installation - the games are becoming more demanding and not only towards the user. Even the PC has to do more and more in order to show complex graphics or 3D games without jerking. Gaming PCs are no longer a foreign word and real gamers know that a decent PC also needs a decent screen.
Cloud - the solution is perfect for on the go and for all gamers whose preferred playground is not the computer, so there is no incentive to invest a lot of money in the device. Cloud games are located in the gaming cloud, the user only needs access and loads the games there. The advantage: no installation is necessary and graphics cards, in particular, are not fully loaded.
Of course, these are only the game variants, to which there is also the streaming of games and many other alternatives. But: Which games are really occupying the scene right now? Three highlights at a glance:
Command & Conquer - this is not a new game, but it has just been relaunched and is at the top of gaming sites. It is a real-time strategy game that uses all previous versions, but now boasts excellent graphics and good gameplay.
Call of Duty – the first-person shooter is probably familiar to most gamers. "Modern Warfare" was released last year, and another version will be in stores later this year, the 17th part of the game. Also in Modern Warfare, players can expect realistic scenarios and authentic weapons. There is no longer the zombie mode, but the special ops again. Of course, the multiplayer mode with up to 64 players is also on board.
GTA 5 – the player slips into the roles of three people and proves himself in virtual Los Santos. With the update of the online variant, players now even have their own casino within the venue and can also put their foot down there.
Many of the PC games are not pure PC games but are also available in a ported version for consoles. Unfortunately, so far only very few titles offer so-called "cross-platform" - i.e. playing together on different systems.
Console games: gambling in front of the television
Admittedly, some gamers no longer make a difference between PC games and console games, because the flat screen or even a screen is used anyway for the special gaming fun. What is the difference between connecting the laptop or a console to the TV? Well, consoles are no longer just slots for games, they offer the full range and convert practically any TV set into a smart TV. But which games are really popular here?
FIFA – Football is always good. Most gamers have tried to raise their club to the top ranks themselves. Every year, we eagerly await which players will be there next year and what the data sheets reveal about the individual players. And yet the motto remains that you can at least see your team at FIFA in a position that is wishful thinking in real football.
Super Mario Odyssey - for younger ones it's funny, older gamers feel reminded of their childhood or adolescence. The game for the switch is a classic Jump & Run but in 3D style. The plot is definitely not surprising, at least not for those who have already played Super Mario: the princess is kidnapped, of course, the hero rescues her. So the fun doesn't come from the plot, but from the game itself, which is simply entertaining thanks to hopping, diving, and running.
The Last of Us – the second part is finally here and many fans have been waiting for it. The story takes place four years after the first part and leads back into the midst of misery. Cannibal monsters, looters, and gangs make life even more uncertain than it already is. The plot is absolutely gripping and should be a striking example of how immersion actually works. The 18+ sticker is also justified, not just because of the depictions of violence, but actually, because of the feelings, the gamer is going through.
God of War - in the 2018 version, the game is still very popular. This time the player does not delve into ancient Greece but is allowed to travel to the Nordic countries. Despite the action and fights, there is still time for humor, some complicated relationships, and of course drama. There are several levels of difficulty, and you can also choose the degree of hardness yourself.
The providers of VR glasses including consoles or other game connection options are emerging in this area. Especially sports games such as tennis, golf or motor and aviation are a lot of fun in virtual reality, after all, you are really "right in the middle instead of just there".
Online casinos – for that special thrill
Many a gamer will now ask what casinos have to do with gaming. The question is valid if old times are used as an illustration. After all, pressing a few buttons on a slot machine has nothing to do with today's gaming. Really? No, because pinball is a game after all and nobody would say that these machines weren't slot machines.
Gaming in online casinos is now an integral part of the online game offering and sometimes has drastic overlaps. If you look at modern slots in casinos, you will see them immediately if you have played browser games. In online casinos, gambling from the casino can be tested in its entirety in all comfort. But which providers are suitable for gamers? An overview of the best online casinos can be found.
This includes:
NetBet – although the name first reminds you of a bookmaker, sports betting at NetBet only plays a minor role, at least for the time being. In return, the casino scores great games from Microgames and Net Entertainment. Slot games, video poker, table, and card games are all on board. There is also a live casino for roulette, baccarat, and blackjack.
Karamba – this casino is currently at the top of a number of tests and rankings. The provider has been active for almost 15 years and has been able to prove itself several times. In the casino, gamblers can choose from over 200 games related to blackjack, roulette, video poker, and slot machines. There are also scratch cards, which can be found in over 90 versions. A live casino, on the other hand, is not in the provider's portfolio.
Lapalingo – slots are pretty much a staple at this casino. The best-known slots are included, and visitors can gamble their way through over 2,000 slot machines. There are also table games, including 35 blackjack variants and 24 slot machines for roulette and co. The live casino uses the providers of NetEnt and Evolution Gaming, so there is also enough choice here.
If you are now wondering why the casino from the provider is not in the list, which may be on the jerseys at FIFA, you are of course welcome to drop by there. The majority of sports betting providers also have casinos. Football fans can often make it easy for themselves, as perimeter advertising speaks volumes in a number of stadiums.
However, if you come into contact with casino events for the first time, you should act a little differently than in usual gaming. When looking for a good casino, the gaming preferences come first, then the handling. Gamers should only think about the bonus last, as it is often subject to conditions. Incidentally, it is particularly practical if an online casino offers test access or the option to play for free. This is the best way to find out whether the atmosphere of this casino is something for yourself and whether the player is having fun in the casino.
Play comfortably in front of the TV - which games are currently popular?
Conclusion – Gaming in Cockaigne
Today's gaming possibilities really only leave one question: When will someone finally develop a time machine? Countless games for PC, consoles, in the browser, and in online casinos want to be played - and new ones are constantly being added. Hardly any wishes can be left unfulfilled, especially since many games can now also be played on the smartphone on the go. That way, at least the time problem can be curbed a little.
