Plays best on alienware

[Ryukden]

When I booted up the game that advertisement struck me. I don't have much experience with alienware PC's except to know they're a pain to repair physical parts in. But I have done it. I saw no magic chip inside that miraculously makes games play better (Although I was rushing so I might have missed it.)

Isn't that coming dangerously close to false advertising? I'm pretty confident my rig will blow most if not all alienware laptops out of the water in a benchmark. Who thought up this campaign? I don't like people being suckered into thinking they need an overpriced system to be competitive.

Alienware isnt a Hardwarelabel... its owned by Dell wich is overpriced as ♥♥♥♥. Nothing more and nothing less... Ppl who buying Alienware are fans of the Design i guess. U can easily safe Money if u just want a powerful PC. Brain requiered tho.

And yes.. just stupid Advertising. Im using a Nvidia Card and the Slogan " Its meant to be played" is just stupid ♥♥♥♥ aswell.

Usually it means 'we inserted numerous empty loops in random places if not played on our sponsor hardware'.

I recomend xoticpc.com for gaming laptops instead of alienware...

I'm aware. Alienware makes pretty cases and overcharge for it. Even the 'its meant to be played' isn't as misleading as 'Plays best on...' Nvidia at least makes performance enhancing graphics cards, but for the most part you will do just as well with an ATI. I'm just trying to figure out how 'Plays best on alienware' is even legal as it's blatant false advertising.

Plays best on Alienware? I can't even open the game on my alienware!

Next thing you know, people will start stating that Magic 2015 plays better in Macs

There is a difference. Magic 2015 takes advantage of the systems design lights. So as you play, your systems lights change color depending on what is going on in the game (ex: flashes red during combat).

Which are still indicated on screen in the game. I can't really see that as a feature that makes the game better.

the case lights change? That is completely pointles but kinda good for showing off I guess

The system lights change color. Though its not an essential feature, its a pretty cool one.
