    Linus vs Dennis wasn't exactly fair, so this time Jake is going to see if he can do a better job than Linus when it comes to virtually building computers in the new and improved PC Building Simulator 2.

      PC Building Simulator 3: featuring character stats.
      Need Intelligence to understand how to build computers.
      Need Dexterity to not drop or break stuff.
      Need Strength to lift stuff, works together with Dexterity to decide if you drop it or not.
      Need Charisma to better promote your shop and more successfully rip people off (and maybe get discounts on PC parts).
      So you can have lower Intelligence and build not so technically cool / intricate computers, but have high Charisma and persuade people to buy them for a good price.

    I've played it a bit, and it's a pretty fun game. There aren't as many increases in detail and immersion over the previous game as Linus is suggesting (Case customization is the only big one, but thermal paste, watercooling, and memory overclocking have all gotten a bit better), but that's because the first game was already great in those aspects. The biggest improvements for me have been quality of life features and more aesthetics options. The option to sell your own PCs in the storefront seems cool, but it just seems to be based on the cost of the parts and if you've done some customization, not on performance, which leads to an "optimizing the fun out of the game" situation. It's relatively fun if you can avoid doing that, but money seems a little too easy to get regardless. The tutorials are absolutely terrible, but once you get past them you can multitask, which makes it fun,

      Kind of, kinda not. Depends on your priorities. If the radiator is only cooling your cpu and your only problem temp is your CPU, giving it the coolest possible air while also using the same airflow to cool the rest of the build is a valid strategy. Especially so if there's a secondary intake in the bottom for example and then an exhaust at the top/back. Personally I'd avoid using a radiator as an intake if possible but I also wouldn't want to push the hot air out from front which would in my setup be uncomfortable. I'd rather not roast myself.

      A GM mod mat would be really sweet in this game. But yeah if they're going to do LTT they should do all the major CCs.

    The first pc building simulator was actually super useful to see the size of parts before you buy them in real life like whether your radiator and graphics card will fit in the case you chose since pcpartspicker can’t determine size compatibility.

      It can, just not with everything. Basically, it might say that a part won't fit, in which case that's true. But if it doesn't give you a warning, it may or may not actually fit.

      lol, I went the other way around using pc partpicker to see if my PCBS builds would work.

    A lot of the stuff you were blown away by was in the first game; the pc turning on the table as you move around it, the hardline tube bending, etc.
    Only thing I’m seeing in this game is a little more in depth thermal paste application. Doesn’t live up to a whole new game in my opinion 🤔

      You can now tear down and build water-cooled GPUs, water-cooled RAM, Water cooled motherboards, mini games hidden inside, there's a lot to the new game

      I agree, not enough new to shoe horn me into using Epic Launcher when Id rather not, but I considered it because I enjoyed the first one so much.
