And so after 2 long years, the Lahore gang is finally planning on meeting up again!

I've added a poll for the date. Planned dates are for the upcoming weekend. Please let me know if you guys can make it. People from nearby places are also more than welcome.

I'll urge all the newer/less social members to please show up. You guys are the future of this forum. Bring back a closely-knit community, people!

The plan is to head to a gaming zone and play for a bit, then, perhaps, grab a bite nearby.

As always, the gaming zone must have PC's for our PC Oriented community's needs. ;)
I recall two places. [MENTION=2034]Jigger[/MENTION]'s ProjectX9, the home to most PG Meetups, and [MENTION=13437]Link[/MENTION]'s Crash Pad. That being said, I haven't been in Lahore for over a year so if there are newer/better places, please let me know. If not, I say we stick to trusty old PX9.

People who confirm, please let me know the time slot you guys want too. We'll decide and finalize accordingly.

Tagging a bunch of people. Please tag those guys whom I've missed. Feel free to bring siblings/cousins/friends etc along, people who want to! The more the merrier.



VENUE: Eclectic Vibrations

TIME: 5pm SHARP.

PLAN: We play from 5pm-7pm (extendable, if it's fun and all, but we normally play no longer than 2 hours). After that, the plan is to go have food some place nearby. There're a lot of places around Lalik Chowk and in nearby blocks. We can decide this tomorrow, in person.


PUNCTUALITY IS KEY, GUYS. Tech Reaper has taken the initiative to book the PCs for us. Consoles we can get once we go there. Please don't disappoint!


For people who want to check the location, it can be seen on their Facebook page. It's on main Lalik Chowk, I hear. I've never been there myself, but it looks fairly simple.
Most of you guys already have my phone number. I'm PMing it to people who I don't personally know. Please text/call me in case of any problems tomorrow.

There's Eclectic Vibrations(https://www.facebook.com/EclecticVibrations) in Defence Lalik Jaan chowk. It helds tourneys on regular basis. It held a big COD tourney few months ago. I have seen the place. It's great. There's a food joint there as well (by the name of burgerman) so we can game plus have eatery :)

I will come to the meetup if it's held either at Eclectic Vibrations or at Crashpad.

Does Eclectic have PC's?

I just heard that Crashpad closed or something? There's apparently something else open there now? Any ideas? I haven't been around that area much lately so don't know myself.

Hey bro i just saw the thread and i want to let you guys know that we sold out CrashPad last year back in September unfortunately :( well i can't believe it's been a year and the guy who bought it has shifted it to H-Block market although it's not the same place with friendly environment anymore! you may know the difference of the crowed between H-Block area and rest of the areas in DHA haha.

Anyways i would suggest to head for Eclectic Vibrations in T-Block :) as whenever i have time i go there with my friends for gaming. The environment is great and the food is fresh and good too!

And yes they do have good 10x PC's! ;)

Count me in. I will prefer Sunday due to office on Sat and most of the people will be free on Sunday. As far places are concerned PX9 is fine but I have heard EC has got BO 2 and usual DOTA fun type games on PC as well which will be fun to try (Not sure about PX9 PC's lineup.)

Timings most probably afternoon unless some Chahra's want to do it at night.

And yeah its time to see some new blood from PG. I always enjoy gaming with new people. So guys do come for some shugal-meela.....

Jaldi confirm karo whether it's gonna be Saturday or Sunday so that I can shift my other plans accordingly :)
[MENTION=25983]AbbY[/MENTION], kindly update the location to Eclectic Vibrations if you feel okay as majority of the people are fine with it. Do take note that switching venue only for people who MIGHT show up could be bad.

    Personally i see only one game that should be truly deserving of GOTY title this year (if it delivers). And that's KCD:II

  • XPremiuM XPremiuM:
    The gameplay is generic & outdated in that game. And it's 5 hour campaign is too short to enjoy.

    About Hellblade 2, I just watched the story on a YT channel out of curiosity and I think it has the Hallmark of a GOTY this year. While many criticize the game and I also don't like this genre of game, I believe the story and visuals looks like a cenimatic masterpiece.
    It may win the "best visuals" category, but that's about it. A GOTY contender needs to nail all aspects (Story, Gameplay, Visuals, etc)

    Just downloaded Farm Simulator 2024. The game is available for free on Epic fo limited time. I always wondered how our food is harvested. This game endorsed by the UN will reveal the process of farming.

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    Hellblade 2 has a lower peak player count than Redfall 😬
    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Gradually transitioning from console gaming to PC as the games are not worth it. 6 hours of Hellblade 2 is just not worth the $50 price tag.
    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.
