Ridiculous.. asked CD red on twitter and he said that you can run the game easy on high settings with a simple gtx 970 card and a i5 or i7 CPU... and if u cant run it on MAX settings buy it on ps4. Its Equal to high settings on PC they said.

Play2Win3305d ago

Dude, a GTX 970 and i5/i7 is not simple for everyone. Hardware costs a lot of money and nowadays you have to look twice before buying expensive hardware. And some people can't even buy a PS4 if they can't max it out. Life is not that easy as your comments sounds ...

Meltic3305d ago

well here i live a simple gtx 970 COSTs 200$ and a i5/i7 for 150$....

buttclown3305d ago

I just dropped 330 bucks for my 970 a month ago in preparation for this game. I will get it on pc because of my save files on the pc since being able to import them.

freshslicepizza3305d ago

you may not even get a stable 30 frames and 1080p on the ps4 and a gtx 970 and a i5 intel processor such as a 4690k will blow away the ps4. the i7 is even better (but more expensive of course).

Kurylo3d3305d ago

You knhow you can buy a gtx 780 for the same price these days as the 970 and it sometimes outperforms 980. Just saying... newegg.com has all the prices lol.

Saving upfront a decent PC. I want one that will last me years. I spent €1,400 on a PC in 2007 and only now at the start of this new console generation it can't run the games well.

I will get the PS4 version now and get the PC version down the line.

Roccetarius3305d ago (Edited 3305d ago )

PC's running games so well for so long is a sign of the times. If the games were developed differently, then i'm sure we would see needs to upgrade sooner rather than later. If it wasn't because of higher resolutions, i doubt we would even see PC's flinching at a game.

sungam3d3305d ago (Edited 3305d ago )

Just bought;

GPU: Gigabyte GTX980 G1 4GB
CPU: i7 5930K @ 4.5Ghz
RAM: 16GB DDR4 3Ghz G.Skill Quad Channel
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-X99-UD3
HDD: 2x 120GB SSD in raid 0

Yup, I'm set.

You may want to add a little more storage there. Just sayin'

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave14d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan14d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.

shinoff218338d ago

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Cacabunga38d ago

Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name37d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno37d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno37d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure37d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
