Reasonable system specs for 2009

I dont get it, they seem reasonable to me.

an indirect complaint about quad core recommended? no idea, more likely another person taking the recommended specs as serious when I've never seen a game, EVER accurately describe minimum and recommended specs, if they underestimate whats needed or overestimate, never seen accurate specs in 20 years of gaming. They are a tool to persuade people to upgrade.

They dont recommend a sound card looks strange to me

they dont recommend you have a keyboard and mouse either, seems very dodgy

Swampyseifer · 13 May 2009 at 08:16

or a motherboard....or a monitor.

scam tbh....

A Q9550 and a Nvidia 2XX series doesnt ring bells with anyone ? There even bigger than Crysis and GTA4......... does the game look like its going to be that graphically demanding ?

What would you suggest they "Recommend"?

P200 MMX + Matrox Mystique 220?

my point was the minimum spec has a sound card where the recommended doesnt

gt_junkie · 13 May 2009 at 08:29

I think the fact a 360 pad is 'preferred' is concerning enough TBH!

Errr wtf? So because i don't have a £200 processor i'm 'living in the past'? You shouldn't have to fork out a fortune just to play games on a PC.

That's one of the funniest things I've read.

I don't fancy spending ~£500 on an upgrade when my 360 plays modern games fine thank you.

Depends on your definition of fine.

Besides, comparing a 360 to a pc is like comparing a robin reliant to a Ferrari.

port from xbox probably will not even support wide screen resolution
