Digital: A Love Story was excellent as well if you haven't played it. Christine Love is hell of cool. |

Sure if you like big dumb clunky games I suppose. (nothing against big dumb clunky games they're cool sometimes) |

so you've played it ? any improvements ? I mean real improvements |

No I haven't played it actually :) I'm just going by what I've heard + it's Bethesda and that's kind of Bethesda's thing. |

Arkham City is definitely more system intensive than Skyrim (which is using a souped up fallout 3 engine). |

Really? I can play Arkham City, but Skyrim just won't give. I mean, I can start a game, but then it's just a slideshow. (I'm not complaining, btw, the problem is completely on my end - my PC really is terrible. I just don't have the money at the moment.) |

I'm pretty surprised you got Arkham City to run at all, it's crushing a lot of people's high end systems. I'm running both games in 1690x1050, AC with 2x anti aliasing and Skyrim with 4x (on a 3 year old machine)-- Skyrim gives me 60+ frames per sec as opposed to the ~45 in arkham city with occasional dropdowns where I'm getting like 5 fps. Also, Skyrim never uses more than 2gb of RAM, whereas Arkham City will utilize 4gb (and more once it starts to memory leak and crash). AC is a pretty shitty port. (but still a fun game) If you can hold out on Skyrim till you can afford a new machine ($600-$700 in new parts would easily run both games like a champ), I would just wait to play it. If that's not doable and you want to play it right now, a few tips: The obvious: 1. update graphics card drivers 2. lower resolution, textures, and anti aliasing Less obvious: 1. disable vysnc: "Access the SkyrimPrefs.ini and add iPresentInterval=0 to the bottom of the [Display] section. This can improve a sluggish framerate and eliminate instances of mouse lag." Mine is off and working fine. 2. Set your TESV.exe for windows 98 compatibility. Open the game, open task manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL), right click on TESV.exe, and set affinity for dual cores (core 0 and 1). I had an occasional hitch that had something to do with windows XP, and this solved it for me. The win 98 compatibility will stay, but every time you open the game you'll need to set both cores to active, because it resets to single core every time you close the application (so long as you keep win 98 compat). |

AC uses 4Gb of RAM? I have 2! I have everything turned low low low, mind you, and although it looks like crap when compared to recent systems, I'm still impressed how good it looks. Strangely, the only real problem I'm having are the cutscenes, they turn all choppy. I've been wondering if that might be a codec problem, I'm not sure if the cutscenes are in-engine or not. Yeah, I'm not playing Skyrim til I get a new PC, I've tried with a.. uh.. borrowed copy, and it's unplayable, there's just no point. It's okay, it's something to look forward to.. *sigh* ;) And I know, it's not really that expensive to get a playable setup, but I really do not have any money to spare at the moment. It'll just have to wait. Or I'll have to rob a very small bank. I did try a lot of tinkering in the SkyrimPrefs.ini, it really turned out to be impossible. Although I didn't know about that compatibility trick. Not that it would help much, I'm afraid. |

Well AC will use 4gb+ ram if you have it, if not it'll make do with 2. Skyrim, on the other hand, will only use 2 even if you have 16gb of ram (that's actually kind of a flaw, and modders have already released work arounds that enable more ram usage). I definitely don't have $700 laying around for parts either, so I'm with ya there-- but you really should make a $20 investment in a 2gb stick of ram to go up to 4 total ;p |

I'd think that it's the ancient graphics card that's the real chokepoint in my case - it's a 7 series GeForce, it was already shit when I bought my PC, about a hundred years ago. |

Deus Ex- Human Revolution, Dark Souls and The Witcher 2 Might have been Super Mario 3D Land but there`s something wrong with my eyes, I see 3D as two wildly separated images and it scares me |

I bought Deus Ex thanks to this thread but I'm scared to start playing it because it will consume me. |

Glad someone else mentioned Terraria. That game is such a brilliant lifesink. And an amazing bargain at $10. Skyrim Portal2 and Deus Ex were all very good as well. |
