Grrr. Just scrape to the recommended levels. Guess my rig's just starting to age now.
I'm still really glad I can play this though. Very excited.

Saints Row: The Third PC Requirements Revealed

You really don't want to do that. 64-bit XP is not really based on the XP codebase and has more in common with Server 2003, if I remember right, so there are lots of compatibility issues with...well, pretty much everything, because almost no one uses it, so drivers and games and other software are rarely tested properly (or often even at all) with it. There is almost no problem to which XP-64 is the solution, but there are plenty which it's the cause of. With modern/current hardware, Win7 will by far get the most out of it, but if you can't/won't use it for whatever reason, the version of XP you already have will generally cause you less trouble than switching to the 64-bit one.Xan Krieger said:
Those minimums aren't that bad at all. Most PC's from the last few years have a dual core in it and 4gb of ram. Maybe the gpu you got to worry about, but shit, a HD 3800/8800gt? Those were from 2007-2008.
Unless you only have a laptop, a gpu <$100 from ATI should suffice

Hooray for exceeding recommended requirements. This will definitely be a launch-day purchase for me.
Adding to that, if anyone played the PC version of Saints Row 2, the driving was astoundingly bad, as in, when Yahtzee describes driving in a game to be like a hippo sitting on the front end or something like that, he is always exaggerating, but this games driving (I remember the console driving to be much better) was possibly worse than a hippo sitting on the front endSewer Rat said:
Bite the bullet and just go windows 7 64 bit, it has a window xp mode in it if you need it that bad.Xan Krieger said:
I can run it... But can I run it reaaaallyyy? The Saints Row 2 port was... Well, I may as well have hooked up all the RAM on the large hadron collider for all it cared, damn resource hogging pile of crap.
But yeah, I'll check out the PC one first, as PC is superior, and if i'm not happy, I'll just trade it in for a 360 one.

I still have 1 gig of ram, an oldish cpu, a 9500 gt geforce nvidia and a fan with blue lights. I can't play this, but i can play half-life 2 mods!
The game made by /v/. On PC. But good this time. Hell yeah. Sucks I have a Stone Age computer here.
3.4-3.6GB to be precise, but yeah, anybody with at least 4GB of RAM should have a x64 operating system.RiouChan said:
Great, I exceed the recommended.
There is but one lingering doubt... I am in Australia, so now the paranoia in me is screaming to know if this game's content has been cut to meet our prehistoric ratings.

Well...I wouldn't say my system kicks that much ass. But yeah, high-fivez. Also, I see we have the same brand of cases (Cooler Master).MercurySteam said:Triforceformer said:
High five bro!
Close, it's an Antec DF-85 Dark Fleet full tower. I assume that you have a CoolerMaster HAF case?Triforceformer said:
If I could do it again, I'd consider a CoolerMaster HAF 932 Advanced. I don't dislike my case, though my specific one could've been put together better. Still a kick ass case, though.
Here's my question. Those bare minimum specs are still superior to what's inside a 360. How is it that the lowest graphic setting isn't the lowest one they've optimized? It seems like they're intentionally writing themselves out of a chunk of customers for no reason.
