Can I play it? :(
PC Specs
I think you can't buddy, sorry :( it's difficult to run latest games with integrated GFX
PC Specs
Agreed, they don't know all the latest tricks ;)
PC Specs
How well can I run this game?
PC Specs
Medium/high settings depending on how well the game is optimized ;)
PC Specs
i don't know can i run this....if i can i will play it...
PC Specs
I think that you could play this at lowest of lowest settings...
PC Specs
Yep lowest bud, and reduce a little your resolution for better FPS :D
PC Specs
first...i'm raging of how much i love it XD..
second... i'm sure i can run it good since laptop runs the first one great, and also skyrim, batman arkham : city and asylum, and lots of others that "they" say it won't haha... they need to test 'em before they say it won't run it at all XD
PC Specs
You mean you love the game? If that's the case, yeah Darksiders universe is amazing. And yeah, sometimes people consider the "requirements", but they are always a Bit higher IMO.
PC Specs
Sometimes the devs will overstate the minimum specs just to hedge their bets against angry customers who might just meet the minimum but still have trouble running the game. On the other hand, some devs report minimum specs that will barely load the game menu, and not really run the game sufficiently at all. That's why sites like GD are so valuable for PC gamers with older or budget systems.
PC Specs
can i play it on medium
PC Specs
Yeah I think medium will do :D
PC Specs
Yeah, for sure :)
PC Specs
Can I Play it on Medium Settings and tell me what should i upgrade to play it maxed...
PC Specs
Graphics card
PC Specs
yeah...
PC Specs
A 550 ti or a radeon hd 6850/6750 would be a preferable upgrade.
PC Specs
GPU & 2gb more of ram I think :) I've got a gtx550Ti & 4gb ram & playing everything on high with my resolution :)
PC Specs
wow those are some low requirements i can max it ^_^
PC Specs
Yea! Definitely :)
PC Specs
Better upgrade my pc real quick.I am missing out all the fun.
PC Specs
yeah..the better it would be...
PC Specs
The character will be the same or what??
PC Specs
Different. The protagonist here is Death; the brother of the first game's character, War :)
PC Specs
now that would be interesting...!!!
PC Specs
Same thoughts :)
PC Specs
Somehow I feel death is more cooler than war although he hasnt got a humanly face as such.
PC Specs
Nope his face is not visible, he is wearing some sort of mask, to express shame for killing all the people of his own race, except his other 3 brothers :D
PC Specs
3? how about Famine?
PC Specs
Death will rock...
PC Specs
Adryan, I said Other 3 brothers, with Death that's four horsemen. And famine doesn't appear on Darksiders universe, it's Fury instead, and it's a female character :D so that would be brothers and sister
PC Specs
the female character and a brother don't mix though... :D ;D
PC Specs
Lol I really like that sentence "Death will rock..."
PC Specs
because I said it... :P :D
PC Specs
Yep! Going to play this quite alright. Looking forward to it :)
PC Specs
I know, the first Darksiders was amazing, this one must be so good I can't wait till August :D
PC Specs
I am eagerly waiting this game since I finished DarkSiders I. Can't wait to see how Death Fights. I felt War was slow. Lets test Death by then :) Hope there is a third part featuring Conquest. !
Lets see how will be the graphics. and I am sure the game will be optimized hence the requirements we see.
PC Specs
Well, conquest is actually named Strife
PC Specs
Yea. From the gameplay walk-troughs, the graphic looks slick and Death's moves 'look' faster. And as Raystlyn said, the conquest is there and named Strife. With this, all your doubts are covered ;)
PC Specs
Death can't block like war, but he can do barrel-roll ;) and yeah he is a lot faster than War. There's a skill tree that enhances movement and speed as well.
PC Specs
Barrel roll :D :D
PC Specs
Yeah you got the winky :D
PC Specs
Hell yeah, I can run quad core recommended games on high most of the time.
PC Specs
What do I make of these specs? It seems to me like this is a game that has actually been optimized for PC...
PC Specs
Yep it looks well optimised.
PC Specs
We PC gamers love the word.. "optimized" :]
PC Specs
Awww yeah. Hope it won't be locked at 30FPS like prototype :)
PC Specs
YOU CANT MAX PROTOTYPE with 60fps?
PC Specs
No one can :)
PC Specs
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II was also capped at 30 FPS for some unexplainable reason. Don't you just love it when game makers have no fundamental understanding of their customers?
PC Specs
We must kill all of them ;
PC Specs
We can't... then who would incompetently port console games to the PC? ;-)
