Can I run this on low at my res? CPU has a grey tick...
PC Specs
I think you might be able to squeeze high settings out of this one, it doesn't rely heavily on the CPU ;)
Oh and what's your RAM type and frequency?
PC Specs
Thanks :)
PC Specs
No problem :)
PC Specs
Can I run this game at a playable resolution?
PC Specs
Sorry, your GPU isn't supported by the game :(
You may get it running but you need to lower the resolution and you might experience some graphical bugs :/
PC Specs

PC Specs
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news :(

Thank you for your fast response I am new here just registered looks like a fun place to be :D

PC Specs
no problem and welcome to GD ! :)
have fun buddy ;)
PC Specs
what was this game about is it any good? what gender is it by looks of it it seems like some midrange horror.
PC Specs
its kind of like a mystery + horror.
The game is really good. It can feel repetitive, but in my opinion it has a great story and gameplay. I suggest you to try this one ;)
PC Specs
Yes definitely try this one. Great story, visuals, and really immersive when ur all alone in a dark forest with ur flashlight and 'things' following you
PC Specs
Thanks for answers i will try it. Emilsz can you recommend me some good mystery games.
PC Specs
Well, there aren't many of which I would know. You can try the american nightmare (its Alan Wake as well)
LA Noire
Amnesia
Telltale's the walking dead episodes
the darkness 2
maybe Max Payne as well.
You can try those, all are decent games with a bit of mystery :)
PC Specs
Thanks for help i will check them little on youtube and see if i would like them.
PC Specs
no problem bro :)
PC Specs
can play on medium-high???
PC Specs
With your res I think MEDIUM is the best you could do. If you lower res than higher settings are achievable.
PC Specs
ok tnx
PC Specs
Yeah! buddy Medium will be fine :)
u can lower the ur resolution for better FPS :)
enjoy the game
PC Specs
ok
PC Specs
How many FPS would I get using LOW/MED settings?
PC Specs
Im thinking 35+ fps at your res :)
PC Specs
Thanks, will install this game when I have time :)
PC Specs

PC Specs
i just finished episode 1 and this game is just wow... its perfect every way u look at it, graphics (especially the lighting effects), story, gameplay, and everything else is just top notch
i hope american nightmare is just as good
PC Specs

the american nightmare is nice too
PC Specs

PC Specs
Can i run it?
Is it a will optimized game ??
PC Specs
This game is pretty demanding, I have a laptop with Core i3 M380 2.53Ghz, ATI Mobility Radeon 5470 512MB and 4GB RAM, only able to get 13-20 FPS. Your GPU is a bit weak so I think it will lag for you.
PC Specs
:(
Any other opinions ?!
PC Specs
you can run this game on low at your current resolution. ;)
PC Specs
Are you sure ?
PC Specs
yes, i'm pretty sure. if it lags, then lower your resolution a bit; say 1024x768.
PC Specs
Nice to hear ( or read :D ) that, thank you ..
PC Specs
you are welcome ;)
PC Specs
any chance to run this game ?
PC Specs
You dont have good graphics so propably not. Sorry :(
PC Specs
