What are some great low requirement PC games? : Othor Games

AMD Athlon II X2 P320 processor clocked at 2.1Ghz
15.6" HD LCD display with 1366x768 resolution
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 with 256MB VRAM
4GB DDR3 Memory/RAM
500GB HDD/Storage

What are some good PC games that don't require a high system specification and, consequently, could run on this laptop? Would Torchlight 2 run, for example?

I'm sorry but, what is your criteria?

What types of games do you like, and do you have a limit to how "dated" the game can be?

I'd prefer the games to be around the same graphical fidelity of a PS2 (so last generation of games), but graphics don't matter too much so long as the game is good. As for genres, I really like a variety of games - from stealth to shooters and strategy games. But, in reference to my opening post, could I run Torchlight 2?

Morrowind, Fallout 1 and 2.

Could I run Torchlight 2? Also, I never really liked Fallout 1 or 2. Morrowind was good, but I've got Skyrim and Oblivion so fancy something different to The Elder Scrolls.

Yes, you can run Torchlight 2...

» Wed Sep 19, 2012 12:16 pm

Mount&Blade, Witcher 1, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines

Yes, you can run Torchlight 2...

How well? Low, medium or high?

Mount&Blade, Witcher 1, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines

The Witcher 1? Really, I doubt I could run that. I own Mount & Blade, but it doesn't seem to agree with my computer or 64-bit Windows 7. Either way, I don't like the incredibly difficult combat.

Battlefield 3 and Witcher 2

Ok seriously though, Hard Reset, if you like old school shooters, runs amazingly well on mid-range PC's.

» Wed Sep 19, 2012 10:43 am

Beyond Good and Evil, Farcry, Silent Hill 2-4, BloodRayne 1&2, Dark Messiah (maybe - high'ish system requirements to run smoothly), Thief 1-3, Doom 3 plus The Dark Mod (fantastic Thief style total conversion), Silent Hunter 3, Il2 1946, Call of Cthulhu: Dark corners of the Earth (but not if you're running Vista), Stalker, Amnesia the Dark Descent, Myst 1-5, Guild Wars, The Longest Journey, Dreamfall the Longest Journey, Syberia 1&2

A very big vote for Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines

Some 4:3 aspect ratio action RPGs from the early and mid 2000s - Diablo II, Divine Divinity, Sacred.

this this oh my this
but if you do you have to patch it and stuff

I think GTA San Andreas would run on that? It's a good value game.

I already played that years ago, so no thanks.

What about Torchlight 2?

I'll check it out, thanks. What about Torchlight 2?

MMORPG games, such as Guild Wars, generally aren't my thing and I own/have played a bunch of the games there. But, regardless, thanks so much for taking the time. Torchlight 2 looks awesome, but could I run it?

Freelancer will run on just about anything. Runs at full speed on my 5 year old netbook.

Battlefield 3 and Witcher 2

....CRYSIS 2....

Heroes of Might and Magic 3-4. Age of Empires 1 & 2. Empire Earth.

» Wed Sep 19, 2012 3:01 am

I've already played Age of Empires 3 on this machine. It is, or rather was since I am done with it and its War Chiefs expansion, awesome. But, seriously now, can I run Torchlight 2?

» Wed Sep 19, 2012 10:08 am

Yes, you can run Torchlight 2...

» Wed Sep 19, 2012 9:19 am

But, as I said, how well? I can run plenty of games, even Left 4 Dead, but I only want to play it if I can at least play it at a smooth 30fps on medium?

» Wed Sep 19, 2012 4:24 am

In a similar sitch myself, OP. I have a 2006 Gateway laptop (really stinks). Here are some games that help me pass the time:

M&B Warband
Civilization IV
Star Wars: Battlefront II
Killing Floor (on lowest settings it is playable, but truly horrendous to look at, lol)
Terraria
Morrowind
The Sims 2

If you need someone to multiplay any of these games with, lemme know

As an aside, I kind of wish I still had Battlefield 1942, or that there was a digital copy for sale somewhere. I wonder if GoG will ever get around to this one, probably not though.
