If anyone missed the Skyrim thing let me know. I got a few gifts in my inventory before they fixed it. $45 firm. NO haggling. I don't have time for that nonsense.

I got some extra Skyrim Legendarys that I am looking to trade for bitcoins and cards.  PM if interested.  I want at least $50 in bitcoin value or at least 500 cards.  Serious PMs only. 

 
Rediculoulus . I haven't played games on my PC in probably in 10 years, but here I am considering a few things in the under $5 category.

I have a :ps3: so I know I'll never get a chance to play Last Remanant or Fable, or the Witcher unless I buy them here.

But even if I -did- buy them, would I ever play them?

eldergamer, you're like our Uncle Grandfather so shouldn't we be asking you? look at the italics especially, that's where you need to look

Let's try this again: Would you ever play them, eldergamer?


Y'all cats who didn't get your bonus card for spending $10: Did you get it? Nothing for me.

 
Man CAG 3.0 is seriously breaking apart. On occasion a response someone posts is blank but now I'm seeing blank quotes as well.

Has anybody dealt with GameHolds.com? With coupon they have Skyrim Legendary at $30.67 which is close enough to 50% that I'd be willing to bite. Reviews from other forums have been all positive, but I trust CAG more than other forums. 

Doing my due diligence, the site is registered in China, but has a parent company based in Germany

 
If anyone wants Rogue Legacy for $10, let me know.

You'll have to wait for Amazon to flip the pricematch, but first come first serve, I'm only doing one copy.

(Cue Gen's entrance.)

And I only have a Celeron 1.5ghz? (just bought a new dell notebook about 2 weeks ago)

doesnt seem like it's enough to run most of this stuff. I guess I don't have a graphics card either.

And, that's why I got out of PC gaming. Way too  confusing to keep up with minimum requirements.

 (I grew up in the days of MS-DOS and having multipule boot systems in order to free up VRAM, btw)

Some advice.

For PC gaming, ALWAYS avoid Intel's (cheap) Celeron processors and any of those integrated video cards.

If you are going to be PC gaming, you're honestly best off building your own PC yourself or having a nerd-friend help you build one for you/with you.

2nd best thing you can do is spend likely double over the above - and just go to your local mom & pop custom-build PC shop and tell them you want a gaming rig.

This (2nd best option) is what I did until 2 years ago, when me and dad went and decided to take on the task of building (at that time) a monster rig.

EDIT:

Curious of my current custom PC specs are?

Click on Spoiler tags

Case -> Cooler Master 932
Watt Supply -> 800 Watts - Corsair Gaming Series
OS -> Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM
Motherboard -> Socket 1366 ASUS Sabertooth X58 motherboard (for 2 SLI allowed on video cards).
Processor -> Intel i7 950 @ 3.06 Ghz Quad-Core processor multi-threaded (8 threads)
RAM -> 8 GB worth of Corsair DDR3 1600 XMS3
Optical Drives -> TWO Sony Scribe DVD-Burners
Internal Hard Drive(s) -> TWO Western Digital Black Caviar 1 TB with 64MB cache & 7200 RPM
[for 2 TB of HDD space in total]
Video Card -> EVGA 1GB GeForce GTX 560 Ti.
Monitor -> HP 2311x 23'' monitor.

This rigs runs MANY of my games at 1080p for 1920x1080 - usually at at least medium settings.
Often, it's above "medium" - and/or maybe even maxed-out.
Depends on the game.

I just started playing Garry's Mod, bought it during this sale, and I absolutely love that because the mod essentially requires mods for it to run I have went to the workshop and am now downloading 2 gigs worth of mods... Nice...

Just going to hijack your post a bit here.

The Valve Pack has always been one of those 'meh' kind of packs to me. It has a lot of games, but for most of the multiplayer games you are only going to play one version of them. Four versions of Counter-Strike, two version of Team Fortress, two version of Day of Defeat. Of course there are also titles like Ricochet, Half-Life: Deathmatch, Deathmatch Classic that you simply won't play; although I have played Ricochet and it quite fun.

I am pretty sure you have to click outside the quoted box otherwise your response will be in the quote.

I think this could be a good indicator of how well your laptop will place games. Does it become sluggish while running flash games? Honestly, if you want to play games on the PC you really need to commit quite a bit. If you don't then you are either left with old games or very basic games. But, old and basic games can still be a blast.

I will chime in and say that I have a laptop with integrated graphics and if you are no particular about low res graphics, they are capable of running a lot of games fine or playable at least so you never know.  I wouldn't try to run like Metro on it, but a lot of other stuff might run fine. 

 
Ugh Integrated Graphics... Stopped a guy from dropping like 300-400 bucks on a Dell desktop that had integrated graphics. He wanted to game on it like Elder Scrolls Online and WoW. I was like not on that damn thing, you could probably play WoW but christ that would suck ass.

And that's why you can't run some of the higher-end stuff - you bought a laptop specifically for web-surfing & music. Those PC's just ain't super expensive - and ain't built for higher-end of PC gaming.

Pre-fab stuff (from stores like Best Buy, WalMart, etc) is really NOT the route, if you want to do some awesome gaming PC. IMHO, you want to build a PC gaming rig or have it custom-built for you - if you're going the PC-route.

You do have to sink some serious $ and time into this (probably at least around $1000+ if you self-build; $2000+ or more if you have a mom/pop custom-PC shop build it for you), if you're going to do some serious PC gaming. If you're going to go the laptop-route, you're REALLY going to spend some REALLY serious $ for a powerhouse laptap PC. IMHO, you're better off w/ a bad-ass desktop type of PC, if you want to go the PC gaming route.

I really hope w/ your laptop and w/ these Steam sales, you can figure out if PC gaming is and will be for you. There's tons of older gems on Steam, GOG, and other stores - and if find something you can run, DO IT. There's A LOT of great games here.

Since you got a laptop not built for gaming - you'll surely want to test out games that have demos; and if you can run a game demo you like, go for the full version.

Of course, as long as the price is right - 75% off or better is an "okay way to go" for PC digital sales (especially for backlogging), IMHO. ;)

EDIT:

If you can run Vampire: Bloodlines, get it when it hits a crazy sale - I love that game.

I also highly recommend Planescape: Torment & Baldur's Gate series.

I know what you mean. Super Meat Boy has been on sale several times. I guess people cannot choose a game that is different than a platformer?

I just dropped $1200 on one for my brother. Not top of the line, but definitely high quality. Saved some money by not getting Blu-Ray or an SSD, went with a slightly cheaper processor, and the GTX765 which is the middle of the upper tier (beaten out by 770 and 780)

Now if only Sager could build a little faster, then I'd be happy. 5-16 business days...what an estimate

MysterD,

nice rig, a new graphics card could really increase performance though:)
Click to expand...
Surely, this is true.

IMHO, I really ain't hit that point where games are kicking me badly in the face performance-wise; or I'm not meeting system requirements to even boot a game.

Usually, takes me a few new card generation model numbers (looking at the leading numbers, that is) before I even want to swap a vid card out.

I'm an Nvidia guy - I have a 560 Ti, so I am not really looking right now for a 600 series or even 700 series card.

I suspect when the new consoles drop and have those been around a bit; and when these games really might do more w/ pushing more graphical bells & whistles, I might even start thinking of throwing a new vid card & some more RAM in there.

EDIT:

My big backlog probably ain't helping matters here w/ wanting new hardware, either. ;)

I put $1000 into my first build about a year ago and can run pretty much any game on high and many on Ultra. It doesn't have to be very expensive to get some incredible performance out of a build. Very worth it though

Xotic PC. Nvidia 680M, 128GB Crucial SSD, and lots of other odds and ends.
