Starcraft 2 (2 Viewers)

If you type in "Can you run it" at google the first link will allow you to look up the game and test your system to see if you can run it. Mine failed. Only because of the graphics card and mine, bing integrated, always fails. It's a laptop, after all. I usually can still play it.

Here's what it says about my Intel HD video card.

Video Card
Minimum: 128 MB PCIe NVIDIA® GeForce® 6600 GT or ATI Radeon® 9800 PRO video card or better

You Have: Intel(R) HD Graphics (Core i5)
Upgrade Suggested: Unfortunately, your Video Card does not meet this requirement. Click here to see some recommendations.
Features: Minimum attributes of your Video Card
Required You Have
Video RAM 128 MB 1.7 GB
Hardware T&L Yes Yes
Pixel Shader version 2.0 4.0
Vertex Shader version 2.0 4.0

I could have gotten an ATI or GeForce laptop but not with an I-class processor (which I really wanted). It would have been Dual-Core. Oh well, I guess we'll see.

I played the **** out of Starcraft. So, so much time playing that game that I just don't see where playing it with prettier graphics can make me want to play more Starcraft.

I was about to give in and get it to try it out because I just finished Red Dead Redemption. But 60 bucks? Granted its only 10 bucks over the traditional 49.99, but I don't think I can do that for something I may not get in the groove with.

Anyone know of someplace that has a cheaper price? I've googled but I got nothing.

it looks smooth.

That's what I meant by it "kills sc2". It looks like it performs surprisingly well.

OK, I've got it. I've never been one for strategy guides, but they have a really nice limited edition hard cover version. After game discount + edge discount, I broke down and bought it - it's really pretty.

I'm looking forward to installing this tonight. Looks like a steep learning curve for me though.

Liar. You're going to install it on your work computer and play it all day.

If my work computers could run it, we'd be having a LAN party.

Ok Dammit. I went out and bought a top of the line i7 laptop with a Geforce 1GB dedicated Graphics Card. Now here's what it says about my ability to play it!!

This game better be good. It already ****ing cost me over $1000 dollars!!

Are you sure that laptop is the one you want? Did you even consider the other models that might have been better? What kind of ping are you getting? Have you speed tested it yet?

I couldn't stand RA3. I loved Generals and RA2. Even TW3 was really good.

But RA3 and TW4 are terrible IMO. SC and SC2 have broken the plane for best RTS outside of the Civ series. I'm looking forward to Civ5.

Um....

Civ isn't an RTS.

That's why I can't get into computer gaming. I like the games but it's a ***** having to get graphic cards and junk

 

[molibya]

"Mercenary" if anybody wants to add me.
