Looking at that screenshot thread was a bad idea. Seeing how AWESOME this game can look got me wanting the game to look that good, too. However, I'm not very computer savvy in the least. I know NOTHING about processor names and all that stuff. All I know is that apparently (much to my display), I'd need an NVidia card. And I only know that because of what the game, and another screenshot thread have told me. (Someone took pictures of some special video effect you can only get with an Nvidia card.) I mean, look at this:
Spoiler!
Look at those beautiful graphics.
Spoiler!
Or how about that one?
By the way, THIS is what happens when I set the rendering from 1... to 2:
Spoiler!
THAT. Do you see that? It's ridiculous. Mostly because I don't even have a graphics card. I'm running integrated graphics, here.
I went on HP's website and thought of ordering a PC, maybe put down $200 or so and pay it off each month. But... What sorts of... um, things... should I look for? You know, like, processor and graphics card and all that? Should I just click the highest available options? What is needed to run the game to look as beautiful as some of the screenshots in that screenshot thread? ;_;
OH! One more thing... I notice that the game loads faster for everyone else too, I assume. Based on the one and only time I joined a party with someone and they were already way ahead of me by the time I appeared. Also based on a video I saw in that screenshot thread where the loading screen for them seemed to take 1 or 2 seconds. Honestly, for a second I thought they were editing the loading screen and cutting it off. I timed it, and it takes about 35 seconds to load the lobby after starting the game up, and most areas after that take about 12 seconds to load. But... maybe this has more to do with connection speed? I bet processor... or whatever would also help speed up the loading.
But what is needed to get the same stuff everyone else has? Huge resolution, render settings at 5, all the options at max settings, and even hidden video features, unlimited FPS, all that beautiful stuff? And have it run SMOOTHLY, not like, all choppy, like the computer can barely handle it. I swear, my slow laptop has gotten me killed with the low FPS more times than I care for.
