BTW I'm thinking about trying another Blizzard game, but IIRC, most of them were for the PC. I have an okay PC, as good as anyone else's. I don't know if it'll handle the games though, but if it does I'll give it a shot, starting with Diablo 2 probably, as I've never been a huge WoW fanatic.
Oh, and if you're going to give explaining requirements a shot, I have a Vista and an Nvidia GeForce 8-something. Other than that, I don't know anything off the top of my head, but if I had to guess, I have 512 MB of RAM, though I'm not certain.
My dad gets angry if I buy a game and I don't end up playing it a lot. And we have a history of game letdowns on the PC. Just some extra info there.
Sorry if I'm getting off topic.
We should probably talk about this over PM's instead of in this thread...but since there's no relevant activity here anyway, I see no reason not to hijack it for one more post. It's more constructive than most of these "waaahhh no update" posts anyway (once again, there IS an update, go to the Fox boards!).
Yeah, they make mostly PC/Mac games. There have been some crappy Starcraft spinoffs on console, but that's about it. As long as you're not planning on playing WoW, your compy should handle any other Blizzard game currently out just fine. I played D2 originally on a 32MB nvidia card, with 256MB of RAM and a 1.0 GHz processor. Your system is more than adequate.
I'd try Diablo 2, Warcraft 3, or Starcraft depending on what type of game you like most.
D2 is action/RPG/hack'n'slash at its best, picking a character and mowing down thousands upon thousands of demons and zombies with swords or spells, and upgrading your character as you go. If that's your kind of thing, you won't be disappointed. There's a character for every playstyle, there are still thousands of people playing it online, and it's over 11 years old.
Starcraft is strategy at its best, with a good, solid backbone and a quirky space theme. It's INCREDIBLY balanced for a real-time strategy game(RTS), but it's still a strategy game. You gather resources, build stuff, gather troops, and attack your friend/the computer (in said quirky space theme). People are also still playing it online, and it's almost 11 years old. Be ready to be destroyed in short order if you're just starting online, people on there have some really quick fingers and have been playing this game for a looooong time. Starcraft 2 comes out sometime later this year, I believe.
Warcraft 3 is something...in between, but awesome. Like a RTS with shorter levels, some RPG components (you control a hero who can level up) and a good story. If you like WC3 enough, you'll probably end up playing WoW, just a fair warning. It got me for a little while before I regained my sanity. You build things, gather resources, etc. like any other RTS, but still control specific actions of your hero character (most of which are in WoW). It's an excellent game really, and has some pretty cool characters and cutscenes.
Now that I've thoroughly nerdified myself, I'm going to take a shower and wash it all off. **** you Blizzard!
much love to everyone
