so I guess it will be $300 or less.
Seems fairly reasonable. If they can get it down further I will definitely get one, but even at $300 I'm probably in assuming there is reasonable game support (or if someone does a port of Quake) and it's easy to dev for. <Chillaxingbler> dragonborn dlc out next month whoot woot
<Chillaxingbler> new area to explore Hi I need some advice. I want a game to play on my laptop when I'm away from my desktop.
I've got a fairly basic / small laptop and I generally don't like the keyboard / small mouse with it, so I need something that is not too twitchy / super-fine-control based, i.e. probably not a normal action FPS. I was thinking something like an older RPG or slower strategy game. Not sure what really. Fantasy/sci-fi definitely. No side-scrollers or boring real-world-sims. Any ideas?? Mark of the Ninja, really liked it once I got the hang of the stealth mechanics. Cool story, cool atmosphere and nice non linear gameplay.
How powerful is the lappy?
Will it run XCom? Have you layed XCom - I liked it, but it's turn-based which makes life easier if you have a slighly less powerful rig I guess.... I'd recommend XCom to anyone who hasn't yet played it. Fallout 1 & 2 - could have potential.
XCom - similarly, could have potential. Was wondering about Diablo3, Dungeon Siege (2), or similar? Grimrock looks like shit. Gothics maybe too control-based. Computer is i3 2.27GHz / 3 GB Ram / integrated graphics 128 Mb - 1 Gb memory. is totally I game I would recommend on a laptop. Its very replayable and would run on a calculator these days.
Torchlight 2 is optimized for laptop use I believe, and is a pretty fun game. Willl look into it....Torchlight2 sounds good to me, I remember looking at that.
What else? Ultima8 sounds a bit old? Prefer less mouse usage than more tbh. FTL - not twitchy at all but a solid roguelike space captain thing. http://www.ftlgame.com/
Here's a point and click adventure: http://www.sizefivegames.com/games/ben-there-dan-that/ Give Hotline Miami a try if you've got a mouse. Grimrock is pretty good actually. Need to see if they've released any new content since I last played. And there's always minecraft, if building scale models of monuments out of matchsticks is your thing. Sounds like it's become more interesting and adventury in recent times though. Minecraft can be fun if you set yourself limits to how you play. Like survive 5 nights without building a shelter or simply just keep walking east and see how long you can survive without building shelter or hiding up poles! Obviously if you die, then game over
Forgot to mention, needs to be offline-compatible.
What are the chances of me being able to install steam on my laptop with the same account and run it offline?? Hmmm?? FTL and Minecraft don't appeal. http://www.puppygames.net/
http://www.introversion.co.uk/ and there's always GOG.com Steam should be able to run anything in offline mode. I haven't had any trouble with it anyway. Play Path of Exile's Open Beta on Jan 23.
Path of Exile will enter Open Beta on January 23, 2013. This is also when the last ever character wipe occurs! Path of Exile is an online Action RPG being developed by Grinding Gear Games in New Zealand. Created by a group of hardcore gamers, Path of Exile was designed with an emphasis on character customisation, a strong item economy and deep game systems. View the new trailer here! ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDFO4E5OKSE ) The Open Beta version of the game (patch 0.10.0) introduces hundreds of changes including Path of Exile's third act - the City of Sarn. Act III includes 8 new tilesets, 18 completely new monster types and over 90 monster variations. When the Open Beta starts, all characters will be reverted back to level 1 so that it's a fresh playing field. After that point, we will never wipe characters or items again. In April 2012 we launched a crowdfunding campaign on our website where users can purchase Supporter Packs with prices ranging from $10 to $1000. So far the community has contributed US$2.2m to the development of the game. This support has allowed us to grow our team and to polish Act III to a level we are very proud of. Thank you so much for the generous support! We'd love to encourage you to join us for the Open Beta of Path of Exile. You've already got an account (the email address is the one that this email was sent to), so just download the game client from www.pathofexile.com and join us on January 23! Last chance to buy Kiwi Supporter Packs. The Closed Beta "Kiwi" packs are only available for a few more days! If you'd like to receive an exclusive Kiwi bird pet, a Closed Beta supporter forum title or the best value option for designing a custom Unique Item, now is your last chance! We're changing how our supporter packs work once we enter Open Beta, and the existing ones are only available until then. We've put together a YouTube video explaining what each pack entitles you to. We'd like to thank our community for their continued support - it's helping us grow Path of Exile into the game we've always wanted to play ourselves. What is exciting to look forward to?? Preferably in the FPS/3PS/RPG/RTS genres...
Crysis 3 (?) Bioshock Infinite SC2: Heart Of The Swarm Skyrim: Dragonborn DLC Dishonoured: unnamed DLCs Dead Space 3 Tomb Raider reboot??? Googling reveals a lot of turd and not that many others??
