Could My Laptop Run this game?

[Emilia Bedilia The White Mystery]

I am not looking for perfect graphics I just want to hopefully play it on my new laptop, since it could not run on my desk top

Here are The Specs for the laptop:

Intel HD graphics 4400
1.9GHz 4th generation Intel Core i3-4030U Processor
12GB Ram
Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

A mental disability? Thank you! Oh, such praise coming from you warms my heart. Yet, I must say, I can only dream of having a mental disability worthy of what you must be accustomed to. Yes, my earlier praise of your genius clearly deflected from the simple argument you're making... quite simple. Yes.

As I've said, it's subjective. That was my response to your argument. Of course, it may not be simple enough for you. Hmmm... Perhaps, you should try sounding it out. S... can you say S? It's a simple letter.

And, with that, I simply leave you, you joyous ton of simples, you.

To the OP. I hope you've installed the game and that it's playing well. :)

lol keep on being a passive aggressive twit. Of course I know its subjective and no one's arguing that. The point is most people do not think sub 30 frames per second would be playable and that's a fact. If he plays it and he thinks its fine then thats great for him. he hasn't though and that review I linked to shows he likely cannot even average 30 much less stay above it.

No, no... by all means cling to that "review." Actual gameplay from players with the card be damned. How much VRAM was available on the test machine for that benchmark? How much RAM did the test machine have? How VRAM is available on the OP's machine... do you know?

I put little stock in a benchmark that uses a machine with different specs than what is being discussed here. Greater RAM means greater available VRAM (up to a max of about 1.7GB on the HD4400). And, doing things like turning off AA in this game will not be a big deal because it doesn't work anyway. Can he play this with maxed settings at 1280x720? No. But, there's no reason for him to play at 800x600... that's ridiculous.

But, you don't know this game on PC at all. You've played for 3 hours and haven't gotten past the third mission... back in October. Why are you trolling around here anyway? Just so you can take a dump on the fact that someone doesn't have a good PC and to throw around your vast knowledge and experience on integrated graphics chips based on notebookcheck benchmarks? Just go back to your troll cave and let people who actually know and play the game give him advice. Your's is based on little information and lots of bias.

Here's a video of a guy playing on a Surface Pro (HD4400 with 4GB of system RAM):

You should recognize the mission, it's the last one you completed.

Thanks, I am installing it right now. Thanks for the help, everyone, except for trek554. I hope you enjoyed being a pain

yeah sorry sometimes I forget this is the Steam forums where most people have piece of ♥♥♥♥ computers and have no idea how a game is actually supposed to play and feel. enjoy your 30 frames per second if lucky and your ♥♥♥♥♥♥ graphics.

Thank you, I will definetly enjoy playing the game. You do not have to be part of the PC Master race to enjoy games, so why dont you go back to your high end gaming computer and keep feeling like you are better than all of us but dont come to the steam forums to give people crap for the computers they have.

[Emilia Bedilia The White Mystery]

Thank you all for the help. I was able to play the game for about 2 hours earlier and it ran perfectly fine on medium settings.

Glad to hear it.

sorry but sub 30 fps is most certainly not what most would call playable. only people with ♥♥♥♥ comps that have no idea whats its like to properly run a game would consider framerates in the 20s to be playable.

Uninformed elitist crap. Movies have been filmed with a standard of 24fps since ages, but by that argument should be thought "unwatchable" by most people.

the fact that you think a prerendered movie is the same thing as a video game shows you should not even be commenting on the subject at all.

It's rather: the fact that you seem to think that visual experience of medial representation of movement has anything to do with how the pictures/frames displayed per second were produced ("rendered" vs "prerendered") shows you shouldn't.

you are so far beyond ignorant on the subject that its laughable. a movie is not the same damn thing as a game. not even close. go educate yourself instead of looking foolish.

even a child can use google to find proper sources for accurate information. of course someone so ignorant and clueless will not bother to do so.

Apart from generic condescending insults you don't have produced a single pertinent argument yet. Nobody denies that a game is not the same as a movie for a plethora of reasons, that's not the issue and you (should) know that. What I'm talking about was psychophysics of movement perception - a topic which you don't seem to know anything about.

Let me remind you of what you wrote above, as you were at least trying to argue here:

of course it looks playable in a video but thats not the same as playing the actual game where you can control input. I can record sluggish real time gameplay at 25 fps with some stuttering and it will look just fine when seeing a video of that same experience. anyone that has a clue about recording gameplay footage knows that. it would have to like 10-15 fps to look choppy when seen in video playback.

Here you bring stuttering, hitching and (implictly) input lag into the discussion. But that's not the point. Of course there can be all that and then a game would be unplayable. It's also indeed often the case that these things correlate with slow framerate because of on an underpowered system. But that's far from necessarily true. The question was if (all other things being equal, i.e. no hitch, no stutter, no input lag) a framerate lower than 30 fps makes a game unplayable. If stuttering, input lag etc are ruled out, then the only thing that could still account for unplayability would be psychophysical facts about perception of medially represented movement. But (as I tried to show with my comparison with the tradtional 24 Hz for movies showed) here aren't such facts that would warrant such a thing. You *could* have reasonally claimed would have been that subjects who are presented the same sequence of movement first in say 24Hz and then, say, in 60 Hz can actually note a difference in smoothness (and that this affects some kinds of movements more than others, a thing that movie directors know and take into account). Furthermore, you also *could* have claimed that people can form viewing habits with regards to computer games which might result in them finding lower framerates annoying eventually. Others stay totally unaffected, though, and that's why your claim that a game is "unplayable" at a framerate count lower than 30fps is just a dogmatic repeating of hearsay.

I said sub 30 fps is not considered playable for MOST people and that is true.

as for as a movie being the same as a game, google it yourself and learn something if you are truly that clueless.

EDIT: unsubscribing so knock yourself out
