I remember my first time moving from the country to Dallas and I got to experience Microcenter. I was looking for a Hyper 212+ for my 2500K, but I didn't see any on shelves. But then I noticed that the store had just stacked all their Hyper 212+ in a pile in the middle of the floor as it's own pallet. They really know their customer to understand how many people buy those coolers and making it super easy for several people to look at once.
I feel the same way about Frye's. I hate that where I live there's nothing but Best Buys and Wal-Marts. Recently my old speakers went out so I decided to invest in a proper speaker system but there was literally no where within 3-hours of my house that has something as simple as bookshelf speakers (the big box stores all only had POS sound bars or 3.5mm jack speakers).
I feel like for living in a city that likes to refer to itself as "silicon slopes" i.e. a major tech hub, you'd think Micro Center would want to invest in a building in the area...
In the release version, they need GN modmat DLC with 100% of the profits going towards a wildlife/nature charity of GN's choice just for the sake of having what everyone gets IRL while helping out a charity.
The funny thing is, that this could be so much more than a game and be implemented in most online shops even with live updated pricing... If run with real-life data, measurements, user and vendor compatibility lists, etc. you could mix and match preem PCs that will just work.
@@ADunleavy oh yea especially if you actually have to plug in cables to the motherboard Without accidentally knocking down the PC or breaking something 😂 Sounds like a good idea for an arcade pc building sim Similar to surgeon simulator
@@llJeezusll This game isn't designed with physics in mind, I don't think anything you describe would work at all, I imagine it more like the Hitman VR game, where the VR part is just how you see the world, not how you interact with it.
They also need a way to install the CPU, coolers, RAM, M.2 drives while it's not in the case. Maybe a mode where you can put the main parts together and see if it posts, before you put it in a case.
I mean i get your point , but in a game what are the chances that you receive a faulty component. They could let us do that tho, just so we get more acquainted
@@ayush9790 im pretty sure they actually have component faults as part of the story mode actually, but IDK it's been years since i played the first game and i didn't play it much, honestly was relaxing but not that engaging long term, at least for me lol. I much prefer the real thing, with a few friends over and someone working the grill xD
@@TheOriginalFaxon i played the game to build my first pc , before i actually build it , and it was so relaxing to just pick anything and build, even i used to play here and there
@@ayush9790 yea I built my first PC all by myself in 2004 lol, we didn't have anything nearly that fancy. What we did have was Fry's Electronics and their nigh impenetrable return policy on anything that wasn't obvious customer damage (and there definitely were a decent amount of hard drives that suffered greatly at the hands of gravity during the time I worked there, at the very least), but yea I was just finishing middle school and my first PC, the motherboard and CPU both died together in a fit (as early athlons and durons were prone to do when their time came), and as a result my parents bought me a Pentium 4 with a nice big RAM upgrade, and a new 120gb hard drive since my 2 30gb drives were full of music lmao. Also acquired a Radeon 9800 PRO all in wonder a few months down the road to shove in it, because one of them bought it for something for work, used it, and then it was outside the return policy. It was also still one of the best cards around at the time, and was a godsend because it was the lowest card on the list when Oblivion came out (and it ran it fantastically despite missing some features because it was still really fast)
@@Hibbidyhai if you repeat this process over and over and over you will basically end up creating a black hole that sucks everything in its vicinity into the eventt horizon.. time is no longer relevant, gravity is reduced to just a theory and mathematical problems presumably are no longer present and life in general slows down to the point you can see yourself play PC Building Sim 2 on a simulated pc to build a simulated pc that plays the simulator to build a simulated pc.
I'm really stoked for this. I'm assuming free-build will work as a great mode for RL build planning. I just hope they provide updates that add to the catalogue of products and they have a decent SFF catalogue.
Yeah, it is quite ironic just considering the history of Epic's thoughts and practices regarding PCs and gaming consoles, and with Epic focusing on game exclusivity for a hardware platform that is normally open and not being sold by a game console company. 😂😂😂 The Epic store lacks competitive features in its current state to welcome consumers to shop there. Sad... But a game called PC Building Simulator 2 gets exclusivity on a PC store platform against PCs? LOL As for free games or free gifted licenses, I can get those in other places! Humble Bundle is one of the sites that gave me plenty of those! Steam and GOG are two other places I got free games! I would rather spend money on games for the companies and get them through them a different platform than to support another platform that merely wastes time to make games exclusive, regardless if game companies get a quick payout and don't seek company deals elsewhere. That's okay though because some of the exclusives (and formerly exclusive) on Epic's store are mediocre, considering I played them on other platforms and saw what reviewers thought on Steam, Amazon, and Metacritic. W:TA-E (Werewolf for short) is one of those games. Many of these games are NOT only exclusive to PC (on consoles too) and yet they are exclusive to a PC store while on game consoles simultaneously. lmao Epic's logic is not helping their business! I was hoping they would give consumers something better than other platforms out there.😂
Some things that need to be fixed or added for PCBS 2, as someone who played PCBS 1 a lot: - more white AIOs and Radeon RX GPUs - individual cable and AIO-hose routing (similar to the custom water-cooling routing already available) - ability to put the radiator on different fans, not just the ones it comes with - ability to take apart SSDs with pre-applied heatsinks to fit them under motherboard heatsinks or remove motherboard heatsinks completely - some cases need you to put the ventilation cover back on, even if the fans underneath wouldn't get any air - decide on the fan orientations, maybe get different temperature readings dependent on the balance of how many fans suck or blow - old hardware or cases to make sleepers or ricers from If some of these things get added I would consider buying the sequel. If not, it's too similar to the first one IMO.
Finally, someone else said it. I hate the routing for the aio hoses and the cables. It didn't completely kill the game for me but it was just an eyesore for a lot of builds. You'd think they'd fix that with the second version, but from the looks of it they didn't. At least in the beta version. Hopefully the full release will have polished these. I get tired of seeing cables being routed elsewhere when there's a perfectly good hole right NEXT to or UNDER it.
DUUUUUUUUUUDE!! I spent countless hours playing that game; lost my saves twice; and just kept coming back. It's still installed, and I built a new PC and gave it a fresh OS! The charts; the decoration; the new shop; the new journey! I can't wait to play it, and I'm gonna spend more hours playing the Beta. Thanks for letting me know the Beta is out!
Lol the irony, i needed this a week ago XD thankfully you videos and others got me through it and my pc turned put great. Ty for all the content and guids!
Don't know if you found out by now but Free Build does have options to turn on and off stuff like auto-cables, auto-screws, and many more options in the menu, when you're in Free Build
In career mode you can set your wallpaper on your personal build to a custom wallpaper. I haven't played the first one but I am in love with this game.
This game offers an amazing benefit to pc builders by having a game that gives you basic knowledge of building PCs AND can give you a close-enough render of pretty much any pc you want that it can help people plan the visible parts of their builds
While I'm not hyped with PBS2 as much as You Jay, I like how like little kid you react on stuff you find cool and just beam a pure joy and happines through the video.
8:45 I think the opposite is true, i think some brands are paying them to put their products in the game.. which is all and good as long as they aren't blocking other brands from exiting in the game. PC Build Simulator ought to do a prequal version where you get to build PCs from 20 years ago, with 20 year old parts and accessories benchmarking them on Crysis, with 3DFX cards running Windows 98! You could run an old PC to it's exact specification with VM software, that play inside the game since most of us are on modern hardware that could easily emulate a 20yo PC, with performance left over to run the game it self.
It still bothers me that it doesn't seem they put much effort into making the lighting reflect off the liquid cooling systems properly. It looks almost identical to the previous game. I get lighting can be difficult but I don't think it would be that difficult to make the lighting interact with coolant realistically.
I don't think the effect you describe would be hard at all, they just don't bother, like they didn't bother to add cable management to the first one (the alpha already had it) or fix the rendering order to fix transparency and emmisive surfaces. And to top it all they'll surelly try to sell us the game thrice like they did with all the mini DLCs for the first one.
What really bothers me is that, looking too much like the first. While some dev (on reddit) said the sequel would be more of a SIMULATOR, I don't see MANY improvements from the first one. MANY, there are improvements, of course. I don't buy much of how they can fix from Beta to final, I think it's going to be this a bit more optimized. I wanted to play with fan mounting directions, radiator fans, the AIO (and custom block) on the CPU to actually look it's installed, have some cable management.
That's awesome that it gives you the option to upgrade/customize the shop now. I know they did a little bit of decorating in the IT expansion but I didn't care too much for the way they did it there.
Hopefully within about 5 years once my laptop is on its way I’ll be building a pc. I got a long way to go in terms of learning but I got the basics down.
Really wish this sequel is a bit more customizable like having distro plates, bigger tubes and fittings for watercooling, some of the latest cases, and better looking cables. Hopefully.
Its Epic exclusive this time around because Epic bought the studio, so unlike other examples of Epic exclusivity, they have every right to do so this time around. By your logic, I should be able to be mad at Steam for making Half Life Alyx a Steam exclusive.
@@DavidNgo86 cant find it, doesnt matter. The UI looks generally the same with some new mechanics, although the models do look WAY better like jay pointed out, maybe that required an engine update idk, still doesnt feel like they needed a new game.
I'm so glad they're doing an open beta for this. The first PC Building Simulator was one of the most oddly relaxing games and I sunk dozens of hours into it.
Not sure if it'll work but just a thought, at 13:51 , If you want a nicer looking SLI Connector, u have to install the second gpu further down, so theres a larger gap inbetween them. Best way to do that is using a godlike mobo and a case preferably with more space at the bottom. It worked in PCBS 1 so i'm almost certain it works in PCBS 2.
Awesome! Stoked to try out PC Building Simulator 2! It looks like such an upgrade over the original. Have so many hours and so much enjoyment out of the first one and looking forward to the second one now!
I'd love to see a 3rd party PC building company partner with the devs on this game and make it so you can order your in-game built pc in real life, I think it would be an awesome way for people to visualise their own builds and see them come to life
Got my hands on the game, and i dont know a thing about building computers. I really enjoy the game, very relaxing, pretty good at teaching you how to build one.
You nailed it. a lot of the manufactures should just let it be put in the game for free for free advertising. I was really disappointed to not see some of my favorite brands because it's showing us like this.
My only complaint with this game is that you are bound to components that „fit“. Im used to building systems that technically shouldn’t fit, like my Meshify c, that technically can’t fit a full size GPU and a front mounted aio, but it does work when you expand the front panel a few mm outward and squeeze the rad in front of the fan mount. Things like that don’t work here (or with the pc part picker compatibility checker for that matter)
Jay: PC Building Simulator 2 is now in open beta- Me: Yay, I loved the first one, can't wait to play the second! Jay: You can go over to Epic Gam- Me: Nope. I'll wait until it comes to Steam and buy it :) Or torrent it first to try it. Fuck Epic Games. Edit: 10:29 Yeah.. There's stupid things like that in the first game. Why do I have to take off the side panel if I need to screw in on the PCIe bracket that holds in the card when that part is exposed on the back of the particular case I'm working on? Lol Edit 2: They really need to have the option to *remove* Radiator fans so you can put in your own
@@snailrancher They said that about The Sims 4, yet look where you can buy it from. Steam. Satisfactory had a year of time on Epic Games, and where is it now as well? Steam. It's only a matter of time. And I'll wait it out just like I did with Satisfactory
The fans aren't turning the wrong direction, it's moving so fast that the frequency matches up with that of your eye and looks like the blades are at standstill.
I just downloaded the beta lastnight. Built a supertower in free build then started a career. I was 4 hours in without even realizing that much time had gone by. I'm hooked
@@snailrancher apparently EPIC bought the parent company a year ago... welp, greedy AAA industry gobbling up the little studios again. I hope the Fortnite money tasted good, he won't be getting any of my money anymore. Time to burn down Walmart again.
The developers are now owned by Epic Games, so Epic has every right to make it exclusive. So, by your logic I should pirate all Valve titles since they are Steam exclusive.
@@Alec_Reaper Well thats a bit hypocritical of you, now is it? Quit with the double standards. Either get mad at Valve for making an new game for IP they own exclusive (Like Epic is doing rn for PCBS2) to their store, or allow exclusivity if the company owns the IP.
@@inny74 Epic has been the cancer of PC gaming, I don't give a shit if they own the rights. EA and Microsoft made the wise move of selling their games on a proper service. GOG at least offers DRM free classics What does Epic do? Pays devs to force people to use their barely functional service and make people wait a year for a game to arrive on a proper application. Even EA and Ubisoft have proper services that are miles better than what ever Epic offers.
I recently found the first one and it was surprisingly fun for me. I'm used to "Blow shit up" games. When I played this is like going to college and getting a real education for half the price, at home and in something I actually wanted to do lmao.
@@inny74 hard pass still. Timmy Tencent uses abhorrent tactics to undermine other stores, is a raging hypocrite and takes bloody Chinese cash. So hard pass. You're free to buy it if you wish to support that. To each their own.
i was just thinking about how the first game is a little outdated now when it comes to the newer parts, im excited to build a pc on here with intel 12th gen and hopefully eventually zen 4 and rtx 4000 series!
I am so excited to see this again. Totally forgot they were making this. I just have one bit of input that I wish would happen for this game... Multiplayer Career Mode would be amazing with friends. We could work together to finish tickets in a timely manner and take over each other's builds at certain parts. Building the shop up together would be awesome. The fun challenge of sharing the same funds would be interesting as well.
They should've finished the first part before releasing a second one. The first part still feels like it's in early access in version 0.8.1 or smth. These people should be ashamed for the quick and dirty money grab. Sry but u got a dislike for promoting that sh*t
Oh also... The overall concept of the game is trash, not fun, and you'll get tired of it in minutes. I'm a hardcore Hardware enthusiast and let me tell you: Trying to actually OC your system or taking it apart and putting it back together Is 100000x more fun. The game is just boring
That is the thing about PC building simulator. For a simulator, they have quite a lot of mistakes like shown at 10:20, where he needed to take off the fans first before removing another component. Also with the Lian Li O11 Dynamic, when placing 3 fans at the bottom, you cannot connect the USB 3.0 connector for the front of the case, as there is no space for the cable to bend - so irl you need to buy a 90-degree adapter. These things really bother me when you want to practice pc building, as they cannot even simulate the shortcomings of a product.
I was pretty excited for that until you mentioned it's on Epic bullshit store. Yeah, not gonna waste a second of my life on that pathetic garbage. Release it on steam or elsewhere or buzz off.
Gonna wait and see if it comes out on Steam. The first one was decent, but I didn't get super far because of the jobs where you have to build a PC, then go back and change that same PC a few times...
In the future do to supply shortages we will only be ably to create virtual PCs that are hosted in the cloud. Hopefully we can have a picture on our desk of what we wish our PC looked like.
Maybe we should work for Uncle Tim. Have extra shops laying around and be able to Simultaneously remove all the screws Our customizer workbench whenever we want. Looks like a great game I'll definitely have to pick it up thank you for reviewing it
Hey Jay! When you stop the fans, you can see they are actually spinning in the right direction. It is just the exact same effect that fools you thinking the choppers blades are stationary during a video, and the think is still flying ;)
I kinda wished they would make radiators and fans seperate entities in this version of the game, or at the very least have the radiators showing a more accurate fan placement when placed in intake positions
I have a love hate relationship with Micro center. I love that it exists, but hate that I am too far away from any of them.

I have a Deepcool Fryzen on my Threadripper 2920X for the last two years, works great. It has a full coverage block...
The fact is that it runs 10 fps on my pc
I got a gt 740 with a xeon w3680
Bottleneck pairing
Thank you to whoever removed the bot reply
i got a gt 1030
i dont recommend doing this but if you want u can overlock your pc
In free build you can open the free build options (on the pause menu) and disable things like auto screw, auto cable etc.
if only it wasn't on Epic launcher, I would try it.
Epic bought it outright.
Really wish this sequel is a bit more customizable like having distro plates, bigger tubes and fittings for watercooling, some of the latest cases, and better looking cables. Hopefully.
I played through the whole demo of career mode and the one thing I loved was you can apply a waterblock to a GPU.
You can do the same with RAM, as well as custom watercool motherboards
I can’t believe it’s finally out been watching for it seen the ads for it! The first one was a blast
I think that safety is important and one should use double-protection technologies, such as Oreol Staking!
nice that there is now a second version of this game ive playd alot the first version of this game
Not only did they have to release a new game instead of updating the existing one, they had to make it an epic exclusive....
Its Epic exclusive this time around because Epic bought the studio, so unlike other examples of Epic exclusivity, they have every right to do so this time around.
By your logic, I should be able to be mad at Steam for making Half Life Alyx a Steam exclusive.
It really just seems like an asset update, with a few morsels of different gameplay.
They gave a reason why . Join their Discord server
@@inny74 Honestly I didnt know epic owned them. Although I dont enjoy exclusives on any platform I understand why they did it now.
@@DavidNgo86 cant find it, doesnt matter. The UI looks generally the same with some new mechanics, although the models do look WAY better like jay pointed out, maybe that required an engine update idk, still doesnt feel like they needed a new game.
gotta try pilding ribibulador 2 looks intriguing.
I'm so glad they're doing an open beta for this. The first PC Building Simulator was one of the most oddly relaxing games and I sunk dozens of hours into it.
I've sunk over 400 hours in pcbs1
Not sure if it'll work but just a thought, at 13:51 , If you want a nicer looking SLI Connector, u have to install the second gpu further down, so theres a larger gap inbetween them. Best way to do that is using a godlike mobo and a case preferably with more space at the bottom. It worked in PCBS 1 so i'm almost certain it works in PCBS 2.
i hope they kept it real with everything usable out of stock for a long time.
This is a great tool for teaching actually without buying parts IRL
Oh neat. I loved the first game. Hope this one really makes it feel legit to build PCs
Please tell me this is sarcasm. These days, it's hard to tell.
@@claycassin8437 I think it is, the first one was a cash grab, just like building PCs IRL, so it already felt quite legit.
Awesome! Stoked to try out PC Building Simulator 2! It looks like such an upgrade over the original. Have so many hours and so much enjoyment out of the first one and looking forward to the second one now!
I'd love to see a 3rd party PC building company partner with the devs on this game and make it so you can order your in-game built pc in real life, I think it would be an awesome way for people to visualise their own builds and see them come to life
That would be siiiiiiiiiiiick
Got my hands on the game, and i dont know a thing about building computers. I really enjoy the game, very relaxing, pretty good at teaching you how to build one.
They sold out to Epic!? Thank fuck I never ended up buying the first one.
You nailed it. a lot of the manufactures should just let it be put in the game for free for free advertising. I was really disappointed to not see some of my favorite brands because it's showing us like this.
My only complaint with this game is that you are bound to components that „fit“.
Im used to building systems that technically shouldn’t fit, like my Meshify c, that technically can’t fit a full size GPU and a front mounted aio, but it does work when you expand the front panel a few mm outward and squeeze the rad in front of the fan mount. Things like that don’t work here (or with the pc part picker compatibility checker for that matter)
Thanks Jay! I just finished the beta and loved every minute. I can't wait to get it when it launches!
When does it launch?
Only on epic games store….. sad
@7:14 Gamers Nexus reference had me dying! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can't wait for this to be on steam!
Sure you can. I can and so can you! One day!
Thanks, Dude! Wasn't sure about this game and your video convinced me.
Jay: PC Building Simulator 2 is now in open beta-
Me: Yay, I loved the first one, can't wait to play the second!
Jay: You can go over to Epic Gam-
Me: Nope. I'll wait until it comes to Steam and buy it :) Or torrent it first to try it. Fuck Epic Games.
Edit: 10:29 Yeah.. There's stupid things like that in the first game. Why do I have to take off the side panel if I need to screw in on the PCIe bracket that holds in the card when that part is exposed on the back of the particular case I'm working on? Lol
Edit 2: They really need to have the option to *remove* Radiator fans so you can put in your own
Epic actually bought it. It will never be on Steam.
@@snailrancher They said that about The Sims 4, yet look where you can buy it from. Steam. Satisfactory had a year of time on Epic Games, and where is it now as well? Steam. It's only a matter of time. And I'll wait it out just like I did with Satisfactory
100% Fuck Epic Games!!! fucking greedy ass thieves.
my thoughts exactly!
This is really cool that they made a sequel to PC Building Simulator!!
I love the channel and appreciate everything you guys do. Thanks for the great work!
The fans aren't turning the wrong direction, it's moving so fast that the frequency matches up with that of your eye and looks like the blades are at standstill.
imagine if the pc parts were synced up with pcpartpicker for pricing
I just downloaded the beta lastnight. Built a supertower in free build then started a career. I was 4 hours in without even realizing that much time had gone by. I'm hooked
Ugh, now I've got to rebuild my rig so I can actually play this game.
Naw the game doesn't require much to play it.
The fans are not turning the wrong way, it’s an aliasing artifact.
I'm annoyed it is on EGS and not Steam.
Do we know if this is like a timed exclusivity thing?
Epic owns it now, so it’s an exclusive forever (unless they decide to sell)
@@snailrancher apparently EPIC bought the parent company a year ago... welp, greedy AAA industry gobbling up the little studios again.
I hope the Fortnite money tasted good, he won't be getting any of my money anymore.
Time to burn down Walmart again.
Was excited for it. Then realized it's Epig only.
Id love a retro version of this where i can build XT, 80286, VIC20's Amstrad CPC6128 etc PC's
Does it have low settings
No graphics settings in beta
I do love that you mentioned DOTA
The game is Epic Store Exclusive.
This game can go to hell and I will pirate it if it's even good
The developers are now owned by Epic Games, so Epic has every right to make it exclusive.
So, by your logic I should pirate all Valve titles since they are Steam exclusive.
@@inny74 Steam has a good service.
Epic has a garbage service.
@@Alec_Reaper Well thats a bit hypocritical of you, now is it? Quit with the double standards. Either get mad at Valve for making an new game for IP they own exclusive (Like Epic is doing rn for PCBS2) to their store, or allow exclusivity if the company owns the IP.
@@inny74 Epic has been the cancer of PC gaming, I don't give a shit if they own the rights. EA and Microsoft made the wise move of selling their games on a proper service.
GOG at least offers DRM free classics
What does Epic do? Pays devs to force people to use their barely functional service and make people wait a year for a game to arrive on a proper application.
Even EA and Ubisoft have proper services that are miles better than what ever Epic offers.
@@Alec_Reaper well they offer some pretty good free games every week.
Sad to have missed this one after having the whole collection of the first one
Why not make this a common thing you do on the channel? I'd be down to watch you play this more.
I recently found the first one and it was surprisingly fun for me. I'm used to "Blow shit up" games. When I played this is like going to college and getting a real education for half the price, at home and in something I actually wanted to do lmao.
EGS exclusive - hard pass.
EGS exclusive because Epic bought the studio. You wouldnt be mad if Valve bought them and made it Steam exclusive, stop being hypocritical :l
THAT'S your reason for passing??? Not the fact that it is a PC BUILDING SIMULATOR?????????????
@@inny74 hard pass still. Timmy Tencent uses abhorrent tactics to undermine other stores, is a raging hypocrite and takes bloody Chinese cash. So hard pass. You're free to buy it if you wish to support that. To each their own.
i was just thinking about how the first game is a little outdated now when it comes to the newer parts, im excited to build a pc on here with intel 12th gen and hopefully eventually zen 4 and rtx 4000 series!
Epic? Really? Welp, fuck
I am so excited to see this again. Totally forgot they were making this. I just have one bit of input that I wish would happen for this game... Multiplayer Career Mode would be amazing with friends. We could work together to finish tickets in a timely manner and take over each other's builds at certain parts. Building the shop up together would be awesome. The fun challenge of sharing the same funds would be interesting as well.
They should've finished the first part before releasing a second one. The first part still feels like it's in early access in version 0.8.1 or smth.
These people should be ashamed for the quick and dirty money grab.
Sry but u got a dislike for promoting that sh*t
Oh also... The overall concept of the game is trash, not fun, and you'll get tired of it in minutes.
I'm a hardcore Hardware enthusiast and let me tell you:
Trying to actually OC your system or taking it apart and putting it back together Is 100000x more fun.
The game is just boring
They gave a reason why they abandoned PCBS 1 if you bothered to join their Discord server
That is the thing about PC building simulator. For a simulator, they have quite a lot of mistakes like shown at 10:20, where he needed to take off the fans first before removing another component.
Also with the Lian Li O11 Dynamic, when placing 3 fans at the bottom, you cannot connect the USB 3.0 connector for the front of the case, as there is no space for the cable to bend - so irl you need to buy a 90-degree adapter.
These things really bother me when you want to practice pc building, as they cannot even simulate the shortcomings of a product.
It's beta
@@purinnyova I can guarantee you that they wont fix it by the time the game launches
I was pretty excited for that until you mentioned it's on Epic bullshit store. Yeah, not gonna waste a second of my life on that pathetic garbage.
Release it on steam or elsewhere or buzz off.
I hope they add resevoirs for water cooling. Like the big resevoirs.
Can’t wait for the full release, there is gonna be alot of cool stuff
Been playing the first game since it came out, excited to try the second version. XD
I really really hope the developers see your video and impliment some of your ideas before full launch!
This game needs a Linus mod. Where there's a chance you drop and break something at all times.
Man I've beaten the campaign on the first game twice. I'll probably do the same with this one lol. Love these games.
Gonna wait and see if it comes out on Steam. The first one was decent, but I didn't get super far because of the jobs where you have to build a PC, then go back and change that same PC a few times...
This game would be NextGen if it connected to the internet and updated prices real-time.
In the future do to supply shortages we will only be ably to create virtual PCs that are hosted in the cloud. Hopefully we can have a picture on our desk of what we wish our PC looked like.
Maybe we should work for Uncle Tim. Have extra shops laying around and be able to Simultaneously remove all the screws Our customizer workbench whenever we want. Looks like a great game I'll definitely have to pick it up thank you for reviewing it
Thanks for doing this one. Glad to see some gameplay of the game
the game is coming soon. . .
I loved the first PC Building Sim
I would definitely like a function where you can customize the fans of an AIO
played the first game, enjoyed it a lot!
This looks like installing really good shaders for minecraft.. love it!!
I love working on hardware, the game should go in depth to repair motherboards and replacing capacitors and doing stuff like that.
Hey Jay! When you stop the fans, you can see they are actually spinning in the right direction. It is just the exact same effect that fools you thinking the choppers blades are stationary during a video, and the think is still flying ;)
I kinda wished they would make radiators and fans seperate entities in this version of the game, or at the very least have the radiators showing a more accurate fan placement when placed in intake positions
I really hope in the final Version you can add your own fans to radiators in water cold builds
Wow that Micro Center looks fancy. Nothing like the one near me.
