Textbook sniper tho innit, losing the vast majority of his games and costing his team  wins for the sweet sweet clout. 

He's great, love his vids. 
 
I've done a fucktonne of research on this game. At first I thought everyone was joking about the whole walking simulator thing, suffice to say I was more than miffed when I found out it's just that: a walking simulator. I love weird shit in games, but this game just combines too much weird shit. The babies in the bottle thingies, the weird ghost things, the underworld thing, the timefall, these on their own in various games would be great elements, but combined in this game they just don't gel well, and in fact are so disjointed that it feels forced. It's like Kojima just kept having all these ideas over the years and wrote them down, the instead of creating a good game around each concept, he just shoved them all in one game and it just falls flat, all of it. It's a shame because these elements have some serious potential. Just think of the whole Timefall thing in a game like Horizon Zero Dawn. That mechanic would've fitted that whole universe like a glove, but here it's just.... shit.
 
At every point in my research I've been waiting for that POW! moment. That moment when the game just explodes in to this awesome twisted story full of amazing creatures, fights, adventures, and yet it never comes. It's just walking over and over. I also heard one reviewer saying that they were delivering pizzas, I legit thought they were taking the piss until I saw a clip of the game where Sam was literally delivering pizzas. 
 
Again, another aspect which is great is the whole multiplayer thing where you never actually see other players but their actions influence your world. This is such a good concept and in a different universe could elevate a game to legendary status but here it just feels like a shit, forced mechanic for the sake of it. 
 
It's like Kojima designed this beautiful world and then didn't know what to do with it, so grabbed his notebook full of ideas, and shoved them all in that world, all at once, and then designed the quickest game he could around it, just to showcase what he's done, rather than really exploit it properly.
 
And if we're being totally honest here, let's cut to the chase: This game is being held up by the Kojima name. Imagine if Bethesda released this, it'd be in the bargain bin on release day. The sales of this game are literally being fed by hype and reputation. It's a house of cards, the reputation will only hold it up for so long, eventually the fanboys will move on to the next big thing and this title will crash like a house of cards. 
 
10/10, awesome game.

I'm so far out of the hardware loop that I couldn't even tell you whether to go AMD or Intel anymore.

So to that end I'll suggest selling the kid and pooling the money for his PC and going to Vegas instead. 

A UAV will rarely be up for longer than afew seconds with me in a game, I'm always shooting them down, counter-UAVs too. I've given up on Ghost, it's useless now. 
 
What baffles me however is that 99% of the cod community don't shoot them down. They're literally one of the most powerful things in the game and yet people just leave them and get repeatedly killed due to them. The amount of times I join a game mid-match to be greeted by more tinsel in the sky than a Christmas tree is ridiculous. There's a UAV telling everyone where you are, a counter-uav ruining your intel, a fucking jet that's killed you 15 times, but will any of these dumb fucks get a launcher out? Nope. 
 
Then again I find that the vast majority of the COD community probably eat soup with a fork so it suits them really.

Water is wet, the sky is blue, and there's a sniper on the wall on shoothouse. Always. And they'll always be on your team and always have 1 cap which they got when they ran over the home flag to get on the wall. We'll be losing obvs, but it's ok because Single-Braincell-Simon went 5 and 15 with one cap but got a sweep noscope.
 
Great fun when they're on the enemy team, such easy kills. When they're on my team I like to make sure that there's always smoke in the middle of the map.

Welcome dude, whereabouts in SW? Add us on PSN, you can make us look good in CoD. 

I lost 40lb and everyone was asking me why I chopped my winky off.

Intel or AMD for a CPU is a little from column A and a little column B.  On the top end, AMD releae a new chip and tale the lead, then Intel release a new chip and take the lead then rinse and repeat.  More mid-range it gets a bit murkier as I’m not sure on the price to performance.
 
I’m also not certain of prices in USD but for a similar budget here you could get something like a Ryzen 5600x or Intel 12400 with appropriate motherboard.  I’d recommend 16Gb RAM with as fast as you can get, probably 3200MHz at minimum.  I’d also recommend getting an M2 SSD as they’re super fast and you could re-use your existing drives as additional storage.
 
PSU it depends what you end up speccing and future proofing you want to do.  Once you have a rough idea of spec there’s plenty of PSU calculators online.  I’d guess you’ll only probably need 500-600W at most.  Though depending on how long you expect the PC to go for and if it will see futude GPU upgrades, it’s cheaper to spec  higher watt one now than have to change in the future.  Corsair, Seasonic and SuperFlower are generally the top brands but it does depend on specific models.
 
Case, I’m sure you could re-use the existing one as not much really changes in cases design except for the addition of tempered glass and generally a reduction in hdd bays.  So up to you on if you want to switch cases.
 
GPU, I’d imagine you could get a RTX3060.  Dependong on USD pricing and if you don’t want a case, you might be able to go for a 3070.  Though even a 3060 is 4x or 5x faster than a 480 so would be a massive improvement.
 
If you go on PC part picker you can spec a PC and share a link for us to look at.  For some reason, on my phone, it defaults to UK so can’t put a US build together.

Absolutely fucking disgusting behaviour tbh, who puts alcohol in a paper cup? 😡

Domination, B flags. Ammo box and overclock. If you die, run back and grab the rockets from your corpse. 

Launchers all gold, first SMG also gold. Started the pistols and the first one is an absolute monster, I'm often outplaying SMGs with it. 
 
Saving shotguns until after snipers, it'll feel like a holiday after doing those.

I'm really impressed with that little Stonic, it's a fantastic little car. We were looking at X-Ceeds a while ago and I ended up having a mooch around the showroom and honestly Kia make great cars, as do Hyundai. I remember the days when driving either of these marques was basically self-admission that you've failed at life. It's awesome how far they've come!
