Stalker: Bought/Going to/Nope

Carr0t · March 21, 2007, 02:54:51 PM

Yeah, am wondering how well my system will handle it. it's well above the min specs in most aspects, but that test thingy only shows it as being just over min specs cos i've only got a single core CPU. It's a high end single core, but still only a single core.

Aah well. I guess if i'm getting it from Gamestation in town I can always take it back if it's that buggy on my system.

Or can I? Now that i think about it, I tried to taek Splinter Cell: Double Agent back as too buggy to play, and they told me it had been opened so they'd only give me trade in price (this being on PC and a good... ohhh....2 weeks? after it came out trade in price was under a tenner) and i'd have to take my issues up with the publisher. Hence why it's been sat on my shelf unused for the past 3 months or so, while I wait in vain for a patch to be shipped.

I keep getting killed just playing around!

Ran into an anomally, just to see what would happen.

The inventory system looks very RPG.

And the tin is quite nice.

The cutscenes and NPC's seem to have slight lipsync problems.

Just put settings to maximum and still no problems.

Haven't been in any big action scenes, but all okay so far.

Good to know as I've got the same cards in SLI. Should hopefully be OK at full resolution (1920x1200). I don't know if it's arrived yet but I will be on the Hook tonight anyway :boxing:

Hmm. If I am going to have any issues here is where they will lie. I note that the recommended spec is for a dual-core CPU, and i'm still running a single-core Socket 939 4000+. When I try the system analysis thingy that someone linked to the only thing that took me down below the recommended spec was my CPU, but it took me quite a way below it because of there only being 1 core. Still above min spec though.

Hopefully I should be able to run it at that res and med or high settings then. I don't want to drop the res below that cos then i'll not be running at the native res of my monitor.
