i aint really been into them for a good few years now but i was always a pro evo fanboy lol use to refuse to even play fifa, i started playing pro evo from the start when it was called winning soccer eleven lol
Well that's because fifa is a pile of shite... pes is designed for people who actualloy have a brain and understand football,. fifa is designed for anyone who enjoys the sport but is too retarded to face the riht direction to shoot. Fifa = pure wank! and that's coming from someone who hates football games.

Speakling of games. ANyone fancy downloading me a copy of far cry 4 (skidrow reloaded) and posting it to me on a disk or pen drive etc? (i'll return pen drive). Just found that the uni library has 100 up and down, wheras at home i can barely load a web page, but alas they have blocked torrent ports. Very much a plea, i'd give my left leg for far cry 4 but i can't afford to buy it.

And yeah, piratebay is a motherfucker, gonna have to go find myself a kickass.to proxy for when i go home over christmas.

The initial file is almost 30gb :D not really email size. If it were possible i'd say do it. At home it took me 48 hours to download 1 top gear episode.

and @newuserlol i just upgraded my pc because the turkkish wiring killed everything, but i coulod play farcry 3 quite happily on a 2.4ghz old school quad core (long before i7, none of the power) and a 1gb amd graphics card. Can't understand how yours can't run it unless it's a REALLY shit gpu, (everything is sold on specs, not ability, a 2gb graphics card means absolute fuck all (ask ICE about that :P)

Haha, indeed he would. I refuse. Before i'd even started uni he was offering an allowance and £150 towards rent, i told him to piss off, i made myself a budget, and to be fair, it is working REALLY well for me. (i havn't been on a single night out, not to one pub or club). Working so well that while other students were crying about money, i had enough to spend "£500 replacing my broken pc, and still have £500 in savings aside from the monthly allowance i've set myself.

My parents may be richy rich, but i don't accept shit off them unless it's life or death. what's the point in just relying on parents, i'd rather know i can survive on my own and appreciate the value of the money you have. While i was in bristol and growing (but not selling) i lived on £50 a week that had to cover gas, elctricity, food, and travel. I adapted to what i had, i still lived happily. Today i heard some bitch in a lecture claiming that minimum wage wasn't enough to live by, work harder you fuck, maybe if you hadn't bought that overpriced iphone you'd be better off... Money is what you make of it. These days people prefere to spend what they dont have (credit card, loans) and not just adapt their lifestyle to meet their income.

i dont get it either ttt but i dont really understand that much in depth about specs, i have i7-4500@ 1.8ghz-2.4ghz, 2gb radeon 8870m n 8gb of ram,17'' screen n terabyte hd dunno if it was a dodgy download of farcry 3 but it was lagging to fuck when playing it, like i say plays near all games on a lowish setting but wouldnt farcry3 or the d/l i got?

It all about how you take it. I'm poor, fine, i'll make that work for me. I went from almost 20k a year without any rent or bills, to £150 a week before rent and bills. Never changed me. Life has taught me not to fight the issues, just enjoy life as you can. My current flat is a shit hole, got about an inch of mould growing on the wall behind my pillow, no heating at all (room is same temp as outside, my breath steams) but i look at what i have got, not what i haven't, and i am thanklful for it. there will always be something we can moan about, but fuck it, appreciate what we do have. I could be paying the same price for a univesity hall room that has free internet, heating, etc etc, but hey, i have a bedroom that is cold, but has space for a double bed, fucking huge corner desk, tv-cabinet, multiple cupboards. Be happy for what you have, not sad for what you're missing.

It's not the download. Try changing the resolution. I just googled and your laptop graphics card is only slightly worse than the graphics card i have, and mine plays it quite happily. However unless i change a couple of settings in far cry 3,. even the cut scenes are like 1 fram every minute, let alone 60fps. Somethins sounds off. But then again, laptops are always a bit hit and miss, i recall buying battlefield vietnam on release, technically my brother an my laptop could run it flawlessly, in practice, it sucked balls.

Ha. Still one of my fav games. My older brother would always be vietcong (lan) just to try and get us with the punji sticks. The ability to jump in a helicopter and start blaring out ride of the valkaries that everyone else could hear, that sold the game as it was! Brother lying in wait with a sniper rifle on a hill and i suddenly hear that music coming out of his laptops speakers, bloody epic!

And i can't recomend settings, i just lowered them till it was playable, but it does seem odd that your laptop can't play it, my computer (aside from the new mediocre graphics card) was about 4 to 5 years old.

buy yourselves a fucking games console like a ps4 or xbox 1 and play it on that rather than moaning about how shitty the laptop runs it lmao, is it just me or is that not the obvious answer

Althoug these days, if the laptop can't handle it then it's not even available on a console.

Tell me though. What are you posting on this forum with? How much did that cost on top of the price of your console? £200 minimum guarantee it. Not so cheap now. On pc we can buy a cheap pc that does what is needed, or a gaming pc that does far beyond what a console does in every way, yet can cost less than one of these new consoles. Everyone always tries to compare a conosole to a pc on gaming value. They never mention that they then also paid for a pc or laptop alongside their console bevause of the fact taht other than game,. a console is a POS unless you enjoy browsing youtube with a controller :D
