The buying part there isn't the problem. It's the "having a PC that can run it" part is, though. I need this game for XBox 360.

Your PC can't handle Portal 2? :o

It's definitely time for an upgrade sir.

The follow are the official system requirements (according to Steam):

Processor: 3.0 GHz P4, Dual Core 2.0 (or higher) or AMD64X2 (or higher)
Memory: 1GB XP / 2GB Vista

You guys are being so rude to Eraser. The poor guy can't afford a new PC on his lousy salary. Just lay off already!

Fair enough, although I cannot possibly imagine playing this game with any level of success on a gamepad. Especially when it comes to those multi-fling portals where you're creating portals on the fly, as it were.

I had no problems playing the first portal on XBox 360 (don't worry, I could play that on PC as well, and did, but the extra levels on XBox 360 had me interested) so I'm sure this one will work out OK as well.

My desktop PC is an Athlon 2800+ with Radeon 9800 Pro that I didn't even bother unboxing after I moved away from Gouda. The fastest PC in the house right now is my laptop which I think has a 2.4GHz Pro Duo in there and some Radeon GPU. The thing is, Left 4 Dead 2 runs okay but framerates do tend to drop a bit from time to time. Another game I've been playing on there, Mirror's Edge, runs kind of crappy actually. I didn't want to run the risk of having to play Portal 2 with 3 frames a second so I opted for the XBox version.

I was referring more to myself there, as in I couldn't imagine myself being able to do it. I guess the XBox 360 version is fine, if that's all you can afford.

done. mindblowing game, thats not just the enthousiasm talking.
the ending is epic, and the epilogue made me shiver :( :[

people who claim they beat it in 3 hours are full of it. the amount of spoken dialogue is huge so either they skipped everything and now have absolutely no idea what the game is about + used a guide to solve everything at the first go, or their steam clock is borked.

or use the handle "o'dium".

Good suggestion. I will do so some time probably, but first I need to put together my IKEA desk and clean up the attic a bit so I can put it down there. Then I have a place to put a new PC and I can start thinking of buying a new one.

LOL you.


i should probably have clarified that i get a 7.4 rating with nothing more than an i5, 4GB RAM, a GTX460 and 80GB SSD

that's not exactly cutting edge now, is it?

Beat the co-op with my roommate last night over the course of 4-5 hours. Great time but it didn't feel like it ever got hard enough.

I want to play this, but I have no friends to play coop with. Would anyone be willing to play with me? I really don't want to buy it for the single player alone...

The the i7 is not cutting edge at all as well, the sandybridges are out.
the i7 2600K is a good 2-20% faster then mine.

well, i got this bundle recently: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showprodu ... 39&subcat=

Quote:
- CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K 3.30GHz @ 4.40GHz Sandybridge CPU
- Motherboard: Gigabyte P67A-UD4 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard **B3 REVISION**
- RAM: Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel
- Cooler: Corsair A50 CPU Cooler
- Artic Silver 5 Thermal Compound


this gives me 7.6 for the CPU and 7.8 for RAM

Not sure what to say man, The only thing still lingering is the fact that you have an i5 sandy bridge, when i was talking about the i7's.

I've re-ran it a few times and always got the same score.

Edit: Another thing that is holding that system back, the ram... its CL9.
I'm sure its 9-9-9-24 @ 1.5V , While mine is 7-8-7-20 @ 1.65V.

not really sure what that means, but the RAM is the highest rated component on my rig. the SSD is giving me the 7.4 - probably because it doesn't have the fastest transfer rate

tbh i've kinda lost the thread of what point i was trying to make now. i'm happy with my system, and that's all that matters. i haven't subjected it to any serious punishment yet, and i don't generally give a rat's wiener about benchmarks

wtf is this shit?

Gamespot comparing graphics on 3/4 platforms (xbox360/ps3/pc, why not include the mac version?)
Did Valve really deliberately debilitate pc graphics quality?
