I don't know all the ins and outs of the processors, but I'm not sure mine will be able to handle it well enough. Jesus. I can't imagine trying to run that game on a pentium 4. That's an ancient processor at this point. What are your full specs? May help some of our recommendations. But yes - at a glance I think that processor would struggle with Witcher 3.

When I find a game I play it a lot. Loved and played the shit of all the Diablos, Dragon age (yes, I enjoyed 2, fight me), Ff1-3 and 7, Star Ocen, Ni No Kuni, shit tons of all cid’s civilizations (probably an unhealthy amount), magic the gathering, and currently waste a lot of time playing Hearthstone. Im not much of a FPS or racing game person, Skyrim and Oblivion were kind of meh for me, although I could at least tolerate skyrim, didn’t really enjoy assassins creed 3 (only one I played), I’m always down for a Mario replay but it won’t hold my attention for 20 hours straight like a civ replay would. Alright, put all that in your algorithms and spit out a suggestion for me. In the meantime I will probably install all the updates for Inquisition from the last 4-5 years and start a replay Well the obvious recommendations are ff 9, 10, and 12. 8 is also great but it's a bit different from the others. All 4 have remasters on steam. I'm assuming you mean 4 and 6 by 2-3. If you haven't played Chrono Trigger before then I recommend that as well. Seems like it's been rereleased on just about every electronic device known to man so it's probably on steam. Can't think of anything quite like ni no kuni, but if you're into action jrpgs, Tales of Vesperia is solid. A lot of people like the Ys series but I haven't played it. The trails of cold steel series is excellent and will take a long ass time to finish. It's 4 games and there's two other Trails series that are sorta prequels but sorta happen concurrently too in other parts of the game world. All in all it's an epic story that spans 10 or 11 games and counting. I'd start with cold steel 1 if you're interested. If you want a twist on civ, there's a recent game called humankind I tried that was pretty good. Since you like Dragon Age, you might dig Mass Effect. It's one of my favorite trilogies ever and they put out a remaster recently that is very well done. I also recommend Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2. Theyre remaking kotor 1 though so you might want to wait for that. All these are from Bioware except knights 2. Edited February 7, 20223 yr by Bevo14
February 7, 20223 yr I ran Witcher 3 on a first gen i5. Graphics card at the time was I think a 970. It ran great at 1080P. Echo the Mass Effect rec. One of the greatest franchises in RPG gaming.

Don't forget to check out https://www.nexusmods.com/ if you get any of these older games (Mass Effect, Knights of the Old Republic, Witcher, Fallout series). Fallout 1 is close to unplayable without the Fixit patch, same with Fallout 2 and the Restoration Patch.

February 8, 20223 yr It's been mentioned many times in this thread, but https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/ always has a free game or two available (scroll down to free games) and some of them are very good and/or were premium in past years, and would run on older hardware. Basically a few free games a month. And @UT_OB1 if you have Amazon Prime, every month they have a selection of free games - https://gaming.amazon.com/home So you could build up a game library fairly quickly without any costs.

June 23, 20223 yr The annual Steam Summer Sale kicked off a few hours ago. Most titles discounted, although the big "savings" are limited to much older ones. Still, some good deals to be had.

July 1, 20232 yr Steam's annual Summer Sale started two days ago. Great chance to catch up on some classics or AAA and indie titles you might've missed.
July 1, 20232 yr Need to get the new LEGO racing game. Harry Potter/Hogwarts Legacy or whatever is on sale. It's just a matter of picking out what cheap games I want to buy so they can sit there in my library and never be played.

July 2, 20232 yr 2 hours ago, Viper said: Are you me? At this point, we might as well just buy critically acclaimed games that came out years ago and are cheap now, so that if anybody sees our libraries, they'll think "wow, they have an amazing collection of games and they have good taste" all the while hoping they don't click on any and see that we've played them for like 0.2 hours.

July 2, 20232 yr Don't forget New Vegas. Probably the most important of all, at least to most people.
July 3, 20232 yr Don't forget New Vegas. Probably the most important of all, at least to most people.I still think fallout is the most important. Everything about it was near perfect for its time. New Vegas is fantastic and a lot of it was lifted straight from the Van Buren (original fallout 3) design docs before it was taken over by Bethesda. Steam sale related, the steam deck is on sale and I'm thinking about getting it.
July 6, 20232 yr Prime gaming has baldurs gate 2 enhanced edition and Neverwinter Nights enhanced edition for free right now and star wars the force unleashed for free soon.
November 17, 20232 yr Time for my annual Black Friday game buying spree. Couple of highlights on some recent hits. Resident Evil 4 Remake: $39.99 Final Fantasy XVI: $39.99 Jedi Survivor $34.99 Prices seem to be identical at Amazon, Target, and Best Buy, though the window for when that price is valid varies.
December 22, 20232 yr I didn’t see anything yet that made me say I’ve got to buy that. You see something good pop up post it
December 22, 20232 yr Finally, fucking Bluey went on sale for the Switch, $32 https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/bluey-the-videogame-switch/ And yes, I know you can get that price on the cart in a few places, but I'm not going to trust an 8 year-old not to lose the cart, especially on a car trip.
December 22, 20232 yr It's an Epic Store exclusive (probably for a few more years) but Alan Wake 2 is on sale Deluxe Edition - $55.99 Standard Edition - $39.99
June 29, 20241 yr Steam Summer Sale is back. Started a couple of days ago. Almost like the old days--some decent titles actually 90% off--but not quite.

February 16Feb 16 1 hour ago, ztejas said: Are these still free? What do I need - just a prime sub? Yes, a prime sub. Some are through Epic, some GOG, some directly through Prime, some from obscure platforms/shops. You’ll have to link your Epic account but once they are linked it automatically shows up in Epic. GOG is a code but it’s still pretty automated to get. For instance, BioShock Infinite Complete Edition is currently free through GOG on https://gaming.amazon.com/home - if you can claim that you’re good for the rest. On the GOG ones, you need to click on claim code on the prime website and then redeem on the GOG website when it launches from the prime site.

September 6Sep 6 Alan Wake 2 is on sale for $15 on the Epic Store. And the deluxe upgrade which includes DLC is $6. It's also on sale on the PS Store. I'm playing through AW1 for the first time right now and really digging it, so I bought the sequel. Edited September 6Sep 6 by CurlyDumps

December 12Dec 12 Is Hogwarts Legacy the one where you get to stuff the trans kids into lockers? Arc Raiders for $32 is tempting. Feel like I'd get bored though. I need bf6 to go on sale.
