Your Mom's Computer Can Run Fallout: New Vegas

[Charli]

Clearly you have never seen my Mothers Computer.

Lol such low requirements. My old PC from the year 2001 will be able to play this.

You had a dual core 3 years before they made the very first one? And why did you get 2 gig when you could run a lot of games on 64mb?

These requirements are actually very high when you consider they are the minimum, you'll need a high end PC no more than a couple of years old or a very very very high spec machine from no more than 4 years ago to comfortably exceed these.

I had 1,5 gigs of Ram back in 2001.
I had an (at the time ) awesome proccesor. it wasnt dual core but was strong. It is also clocked.
Now... It was able play crysis at ultra low with medium phisics. It was able to play Metro 2033 (best looking game, better than crysis) on ultra low too. Fallout 3 ran smoothely at low too.

Just saying......

That was a beast of a machine, but only Metro 2033 has requirements approaching these so that will be your benchmark for how well this will work. At that end of the scale it's really anyone's guess what kind of framerate you can expect on minimum.

Why is it impossible for me to ever get a dedicated graphics card? All I ever seem to buy is fucking integrated. Ahhhhh!!!! I might just buy a computer that's actually fucking good when I get the money. Alas, no money at the moment.

You could explore the option of an external laptop graphics card.

Expensive for what you get, but perhaps cheaper than buying a whole new system?

My computer doesn't even meet those requirements.

Will this work for any laptop though? I have a Dell Inspiron 15 and I was lead to believe that the video card could not be updated?

Shouldnt there be a review by now???

I only really trust The Escapist and Yahtzee for game reviews

 

[temporalcrux]

Nope.... sadly, neither my computer nor my mom's can run this. I'm not amused by your assumptions, sir.

My mom's computer is 8 years old. It has an ATI Rage card in it, a AMD Atahlon running at 1.6 GHz, and a 30gb HDD. It runs windows xp, and she, though we bought her a new computer 2 months ago still has not switched.

Wow, that's a bit sad. You don't actually take Zero Punctuation seriously?

Do you?

Seeing as how these are only the minimum requirements, not too disappointed. Still should run nicely after some HD texture mods and other graphics settings maxed.

Hope to get this once they release the obligatory anti-crash patches since this is the product of Bethesda and Obsidian.

Granted your only going to hear the bad things for comedic value but I'm starting to enjoy indulgent bitterness over the game series that purely get good marks because it's beneficial to the reviewer.


When I said only Yahtzee that seems stupid also If you have a better suggestion that balances out the cynic market and the hype market I will be grateful.
