The Death of PC gaming has come.

Stranglehold Minimum PC requirements

I'll admit, the game sure is pretty, but that's a lot of RAMs and literally tons of the Gigs! My old rig is like a gaming caveman compared to that. Looks like I'm sticking to the PLAYSTATION 3 version

Its funny how PC gamers have to spend hundreds of Dollars to keep up with a Xbox 360/PS3 in terms of Power.

PC gaming is dieing, thats why Dev's said Consoles will pave the way to how PC games will look because, Console games sell, and PC games don't.

Whats the point of this thread? A PC with those specs is extraordinarily cheap.

If you don't have 15Gbs of space on your hard drive...just spend $50 on another 250 gigs...

I got 2 gigs of ram for $80......so yea....you lose. you can get all the other stuff real cheap to.

Must be why FEAR on the 360 looks better than the PC version.

Oh...wait.

If that's the minimun then what the hell are the recommended? And 15GB for one game is even more ridiculous.

But PC gaming is no where close to dieing and I still rather game on a PC rather than console so Im on both sides here.

Hey, my rig has got 512MB RAM and a low end 128MB gpx card. Do you honestly expect me to play a game of Strangleholds calibur with... That? :lol:

PC gaming is not dying, as the years go on PC gaming will be more popular. I predict consoles are going to become more casual because that's where the big money is. Hardcore gamers will be left with only one hardcore platform to turn to, the PC. Besides, games are made on the PC and PC gaming has a HUGE install base. Subscribers to MMORPG's alone won't let it die, not to mention First Person Shooters and RTS's are still way more popular and better then console versions.

EDIT. Glitchspot, I swear it glitches 80% of the time with me.

I'm glad I decided to go with 4 GBs with my new build :D

EVERYONE was telling me to go 2.....but I went BIG

*throws video card out window*user_nat

...Unlucky user_nat. :(

ohnoes PC gaming has been dying for the last 10 years despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, and now it looks like this mediocre multiplatform 3rd person action game that nobody particularly cares about spells doom for teh hermits zomg!!!1!

PC gaming is not dieing, it was just that game that was not well optimized, very very badly optimized.

I mean, look at the minimum for STALKER:

OS: Windows 2000 SP4

CPU: Pentium 4 2Ghz/ AMD XP 2200+

RAM: 512 MB

Video: Geforce 5700/ATI Radeon 9600/128MB DirectX 9c compatible

Disk Space: 10 GB

Now this was built ground up for the computer, making it well optimized and it is easily played on low end systems. But look how terribly Stranglehold is optimized. If they put some work into, I think they could have gotten the requirements down to about here.

but those cant be minimum. maybe if it looks like the 360 version on minimum, but otherwise no way.

[QUOTE="Teh_Stevz"]Peter_Darkstar's right. For a machine of that spec is pretty cheap to get. PCs also have to get better as time goes by.

I think you're right about those specs. That seems more of a maximum than minimum.

I did a quick check on newegg this is the death of pc gaming lmao

2 gigs of good ram

Dual cpu that oc to 3.2GHz with the above ramand this heatsinkwith artic silver and a cheap fan

This is more than you need and oc to xtx speed stable as well for under $200

If you don't have 15gb of space in 2007 try this for under $100

This is a low end pc that will run any game at medium to high well into 2008 for cheap. Pc gaming dead don't make me laugh if you really look the pricesare even cheaper :lol:

ps some of these items have a bundle item to boot !!

I just recently bought a new PC and it cost me $450 with geforce 7900 and the games in the xbox 360 ported in the PC like Lost Planet ,Overlord and others run smoothly. with no lag. :)

Have you considered that this may be a poorly optimized port? Since, of course, consoles are the lead platform?

I doubt hermits even give a damn about this game :|-supercharged-

Yeah, I didn't even know this was on PC. I mean, who plays third person shooters on PC?

If that's the minimun then what the hell are the recommended? And 15GB for one game is even more ridiculous.

But PC gaming is no where close to dieing and I still rather game on a PC rather than console so Im on both sides here.

15gb costs less than $4 big deal, finaly a game that can use some of my empty 250gbs

do you have any idea how long we've been hearing this?CaseyWegner

thats why I had asked to include this myth in your myth needed to die thread

It doesn't matter how much it costs, how the hell is ONE game using 15GB? That's ridiculous, I could install 3 or 4 games that are just as good, maybe even better than that game that would take less space than that combined.

Yeah HDD requirements are going off the wall now. I'm hating it.

If your computer is not used solely for gaming, your space fills up pretty darn fast.

This is like what..the 9,000th time I heard this right?

Also one extremely unoptimized port = Death of PC gaming? Dont make me laugh.
