• Piece of shit laptop, any game suggestions?
    38 replies, posted
Hey folks. I'm currently cursed to a pretty rubbish laptop that can't run almost any of the newer games coming out, which is of no surprise to me. However, if anyone had any suggestions for titles I should pick up and be able to play I'd be very grateful. Thanks! Specs: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/DgddKdh.png[/IMG]
Check out good old games site, tons of great older PC games there.
Pre-order Age of Empires II HD edition on steam.
Dungeons of Dredmor. [editline]24th March 2013[/editline] Jagged Alliance 2
As someone with an equally shitty laptop I can tell you that GOG is your best friend.
Faster Than Light
Still better than mine.. Any STALKER game. They support even DX8. <== Top in my list because they deliver immersive gameplay and support great mods. Freelancer. FTL: Faster Than Light. Fieldrunners 2. Counter-Strike: Condition Zero (either normal or Deleted Scenes will work) Gratuitous Space Battles. Cortex Command. Killing Floor. Any Unreal Tournament game before 3. Max Payne 1/2.
If you're a fan of retro gaming you can emulate SNES or Genesis stuff, which will work on basically any semi-competent computer.
NOLF 1/2
Try nethack or adom.
Deus Ex
Armagetron: [url]http://armagetronad.org/[/url] This game is sweet.
XCOM Fallout 3/NV Newer games but I can run them fine on my laptop, and I'm certain the fucking thing is dying Super Hexagon Hotline Miami Binding of Isaac Super Meat Boy Any 2d indie game ever etc etc Civilization 5 works pretty good too Performance when I bought this and performance now is pretty awful I can relate to terrible laptops
Rollercoaster Tycoon
Sim City 4
Divine Divinity
[QUOTE=Medevilae;40021938]System Shock 2[/QUOTE] Thanks for all the feedback guys, but I've just gone ahead and purchased this, downloading now. Looks great, thanks a bunch Medevilae - still open to ideas though.
HL1 or even HL2 if it's good enough to run it a good FPS
TF2 (With various low quality mods) Counter strike (Or source) Terraria Hotline Miami PsychoNaughts Flash games Starcraft Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics Emulators and roms The first Far Cry Painkiller Any elder scrolls before Skyrim (Maybe skyrim would work too?) Phun (Actually a physics simulator, but it's fun and isn't too intense) Doom 1 and 2 (Especially mods for it like Brutal Doom. It's a goddamn blast.) Cortex Command if you have faith in your CPU Facade (I use the term game here loosely, but it'll run on your rig) SCP: Containment Breach Minecraft (Get Optifine and lower the graphics down a fuckton though, It's horribly optimized) Unreal Tournament (The early ones) Quake 1, 2, and 3. The Punisher Max payne 1 and 2 Halo 1 Need for Speed: Most wanted (I have no idea if this is actually on PC) Postal 2 Basically anything released before 2005
If you like starwars games get battlefront 2 or jedi knights: jedi academy
CaveStory, it's free! But you can spend money on the HD remake, CaveStory+, on steam if you like it.

Crysis 3 obviously, On a serious note: Max Payne 1 and 2 Binding of Isaac Quake Doom Duke Nukem Morrowind Half-Life GTA Vice City or San Andreas perhaps? Command and Conquer: Red Alert Any Fallout game, be it 3d or isometric Deus Ex Maybe the Walking Dead, I may be pushing it tough Sim City 4, tons of fun to build a city only to destroy in one fell swoop Dragon Age: Origins if you want to push your luck Bastion Katawa Shoujo :v: not really a game, but hey, it's free. The Ship, if you can find some active servers for it it's tons of fun. Age of Mythology Red Orchestra Aliens Vs Predator Classic 2000 You should check out GOG too.
You're all fucking awesome, thanks for taking the time to bury me in amazing titles I hadn't thought of! :v:
[QUOTE=Deamie;40022582]Thanks for all the feedback guys, but I've just gone ahead and purchased this, downloading now. Looks great, thanks a bunch Medevilae - still open to ideas though.[/QUOTE] You won't regret it. I just finished it two weeks ago and it's one of my favorite games.
Popcap games
Evil Genius, Impossible Creatures, No One Lives Forever ('60s spy parody FPS totally awesome) and NOLF2, Warhammer 40k DoW might work, Age of Mythology, Age of Empires (and 2), Morrowind, Deus Ex, Zoo Tycoon, Civ 4, SM Alpha Centauri, C&C Renegade (and the Red Alerts), C&C Generals, a whole boatload of roguelikes and such.
Walking dead (By telltale games)
I can relate to shit laptops, there is some games that play on mine -SimCity 4 -Portal 1 and 2 (Only with super-low configs) -Hl2 (I guess it will do) -L4D -Red Orchestra -The Sims series (If you are in that kind of thing) -Source mods I will try the games recommended here
