How well do your PCs match up to this? Mine couldn't even run it in pretty slide show mode, but I'm well overdue an upgradedestructoid wrote:Minimum:

Metro 2033 System Specs Released
Looks like it could be a fairly demanding one
Problem is I almost hit recommended, but to do so I'd need to get a new graphics card, but due to my stepping stone (about 2 years ago) motherboard, it isn't really up to today's tech standards.
New GFX means new mobohoflomoroso - all well and good and I intend to soon, but just can't spare the expense at the moment. Unless I could put it through as a business expense.
My CPU is a E6600 core2 duo 2.4ghz stock, but in XP I was running it at just over 2.6ghz with no issues. I had it up to 2.8 when I first installed Win 7, but it seemed to be causing the occasional BSOD. Though it could also be my network adapter driver, or an IRQ not less or equal error. Windows minidumps aren't too clear. So far I've been unable to replicate the BSOD since lowering my overclock.
I'd probably want more RAM too, but for now I'm doing fine under Win 7 with a matched pair of 1gb corsair sticks.
I'm still in two minds about this anyway, following on from the previews/hands on sessions in Edge and Gametrailers.
I've got my sights on STALKER: Call of Priapism at the moment, but haven't even tried playing it.

at a guess I think I'll hit optimum on everything except memory (got 6) and my HDD is 7200 .... if that's no longer considered *fast*
rather looking forward to this except for the fact that I only play games about 2 hours a week and I have a rather large backlog of steam purchases to get thorugh. Ho hom, they'll still be there when I'm retired and can play all day on my neuralnet 240k (TM) that will be imbedded in my cortex by then

Only review I'm aware of is this one, but it's the 360 version, so a lot of the complaints shouldn't affect the gaming master race.

That review is odd, their main gripe and praise is that it's not dumbed down, that it's a proper game for people who don't want to have their hands held by the developers.
I also can't quite grasp what they mean about "shooting". They've said the guns feel underpowered but apart from that, they're pretty much saying that for an FPS it lacks in the modern "action! don't let off the trigger, kill everything" vibe as that is what shooting means to them. How queer.

I think it's how they handle the regional unlocks thing, the Dragon Age Awakenings expansion disappeared from the list of available DLC under the main game on Tuesday, when it was released in the US.Dr. kitteny berk wrote:Oddly, this isn't on steam for the UK any more, but if you have a steam preorder it'll unlock on friday.

Early impressions:
This is what happens if Stalker, and Fallout 3 make a baby.
Linearity is fairly close to HL2, but gives you a little more chance to explore, some interaction in stations.
Friendly AI is a little dozy mostly, but I put that down to it being fairly scripted as far as I can tell.
The way that filters in gasmasks last a fairly short amount of time is good, gives you panicked moments getting the gasmask on when you need it.
Jesus christ it's pretty, though I had to turn it down from very high, to high, for the good of my graphics card.

oh, and it's deeply russian, I had to restart steam, then do This, then reset controls and turn sound volume up from 0.
