I am well Snee. How are you?
3 might be a good place to jump in then. It's still great, but it's faster paced and a bit more forgiving. I'd maybe look up a beginners guide before you play any of them though so you're not stumbling through the dark.
Both myself and the reviewer like the newer games. He reviewed them, and Dark Souls 2 is the only one he dislikes. I don't mind 2 that much honestly. And I like 3 a lot, just less than the first 2. The games got very focused and very safe after that.
I guess it just depends on what you want. Personally, I got into Dark Souls and Demon's Souls because they created a world and atmosphere that absolutely captivated me. There was nothing else like them. I think the addition of warping and the lack of creative insanity hurt the series a fair bit though. Bloodborne proves it's still there though, but they maybe need a new theme to work with.
PvE is honestly the only thing I care about in Souls. I like invading and co-op, but honestly I don't care about that shit if the world design, level design, and From Software brand of weird isn't there.
This is why I loved Hollow Knight so much. It got that being hard wasn't everything that Souls offers. I do wish more games would take that message though.
As for E3 games, I'm obvious excited for the new metroid games. Metro looks awesome as per usual, A Way Out looks interesting too. The Wolfenstein trailer looked awesome too, and there are honestly way too many games there that I liked the look of to mention. Especially some of the smaller stuff looked great.
If you want more yters like Matthewmatosis, check out Joseph Anderson, Super Bunnyhop, KingK, Writing on games, The Gaming Brit Show, The Geek Critique, Mr BTongue, Noah Caldwell-Gervais, Errant Signal, and Mark Brown. They all do super in depth looks at video games of all sorts.
As for other Youtubers, Cool Ghosts are some of my favourites. They're funny, cheery, and insightful. Dark Pixel offers some great insight into the behind the scenes of JRPGs and other Square Enix titles. I could honestly go on for hours, but I'll cut it short. If you need anymore let me know. I watch far too much youtube.
The Last of Us is only stealth in small sections. Gameplay wise, it reminds me of Uncharted mixed with RE4. It's really good and you absolutely need to play it.
I played Resi Evil Revelations on PC and loved it. Though I didn't like it as much on a repeat following.
I haven't played much of the Gwent online, only the tutorial. They've changed a lot from The Witcher 3's version of the game, which is good. I have physical cards and there was only really 1 strategy that would win every time, and that was using spy cards and dummies to get your entire deck in your hand.
Supernatural really starts to get good in season 3 imo. Season 3 to 5 are the shows high points.
I wouldn't recommend shopping from actual stores, since they'll be adding at least $100-$200 more than what they're worth. I'd recommend looking at this store and others like it: https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/category/gaming-pcs
The first one listed there is $1429 and it's a really good pc. The really good thing is that you can customise, so you can change parts to be cheaper or more expensive depending on what you want. General warning though: avoid amd processors. They make great graphics cards, but their processors generally run into a bit of trouble with some titles, and they have a lot of trouble with Dolphin. Stick with intel!
If you want a gaming pc, I'd highly recommend going for a desktop over a pc. They're more powerful for a start, but that's not why I'm suggesting them. Every gaming laptop I've had has ran into problems with either cooling or just crashing due to low memory/cpu problems.
If you want portability, you might want to look into Alienware's console sized PCs. I have one that is about the size of a Nintendo Wii and it's plugged into my tv and is super lightweight. They aren't the most powerful things in the world, but they will play most games pretty well, you just may have to lower the settings to medium.
If you need a laptop though, just make sure you pay attention to things like RAM, cooling, and CPU. Remember that when you eventually want to upgrade, you're going to have to upgrade everything, so make sure you get something that will last. Do your research. That said, if you do go with Alienware (they're not the best and they can be expensive for what they are with laptops) you at least have the option to upgrade your graphics card externally later.
So with a laptop, you want at least an i5 cpu. An i7 would be much better, but they can be costly - and you will want one if you want to record videos. You want at least 16gb of ram. Make sure not to skimp on cooling and make sure your power supply is decent. With graphics cards, gtx 1060's are cheap these days and will run most things, but with a laptop they may charge extra for something like that, so go for a 900's range nvidea graphics card or whatever the AMD equivelant is.
Again though, graphics cards are something you can skimp on a little bit. Anything lower than a 900 and you won't really be able to play the modern PS4/Xbone quality games, but not everyone wants that. If you just want to try the indie games or some older pc classics up to last gen games, a 700s graphics card will also work. Just make sure the other specs are up to snuff or your laptop will die early.
Really sorry if I've given you far too much info. Let me know if you need anything I've said explained. I've just been burnt by gaming laptops and I'd hate to see it happen to other people given how expensive they can be.
Finally, you're a nintendo fan. Do yourself a favour when you get a pc, download Dolphin. Then you can play your Wii/Gamecube games at 720p or 1080p, and it really makes some of the art in those games pop. Mario Galaxy in particular looks phenomenal at a higher resolution. You can use your wiimote with your pc, or you can plug in an xbox or ps4 controller for gamecube games or wii games that use a classic controller.
I don't know where a safe link is anymore, so here's my copy that I got from the original AM2R site. Just extract and play.
