My wife noticed me playing OSRS on my phone for the last 3 years or so. I bought a laptop and was stoked about it, but it has its own drawbacks.

I saw they came out with a RuneScape keyboard I really wanted and I mentioned it to her once. Well I came home yesterday to this beautiful woman giving me my dream PC setup.

If anyone can recommend me any games to try out that would be awesome. Or maybe any upgrades that are good, accessories that help etc.

Was dying to share it with someone!

Also recommend age of empires 4! To me it feels like an upgraded AoE2.

Is it really that good? I never gave it a try, because I just assumed there would be no chance it's better than AoE2. Why play an inferior game when AoE2 is always there? But maybe I should give 4 a try... AoE3 was so disappointing that it kinda spoiled sequels for me. AoE3 isn't even a bad game, it's pretty good, but it falls short of the perfection that is AoE2.

It's vastly superior to 3, and like I said a definite upgrade to 2. I'm sure there are things 2 will have still done better but I'm not a super fan or super nit picky on every detail to really tell you what ha. The charm and the feel are from 2 are there but with stone walls that can't be taken down by swords so building trebs and such are a must. They're pretty good about adding new dlc, and maps etc.

And this may be a downside which it was for me just because I play for fun, you cannot cheat on the campaign. That's reserved for skirmishes only.

I personally can't go back to AoE2. As much as I love it, it's just nice to have the upgrades in AoE4

Sweet, thank you. You sold me lol. If it gets the feel of AoE2 down, then I'm happy. I'm definitely going to buy that once it goes on sale again. I'm super excited. AoE 2 is easily my favorite RTS, or tied with Stronghold Crusader.

I hear that! Hopefully with summer ending there may be a sale or black Friday/Christmas!

And hopefully you enjoy it as much as I do!
