Windows. And yeah, I just upgraded the RAM on my main computer. It was severely lacking (2 GB). It also probably needs a new graphics card, so I should get around to that...

OUCH. I have 16 GB and here I'm thinking that's not enough. I'm also running dual NVIDEA GeForce GTX 550s and I'm thinking it might be time to swap those out for something more powerful.

Oh jeez. I'd be fine with 16 GB for like five years. XD I have 8 GB of RAM now.

Yeah, I'm thinking the RAM might still be okay, but some of the more newly released games (Fallout 4, XCOM 2) play out kind of sluggishly on my computer (need to be on the lowest settings and they still have framerate issues). Older stuff runs perfectly fine, though.

Ah yeah. I don't have a ton of new games. Game like Skyrim still need to run on low settings on my computer. D:

I might just stick with Indie games for a while or replay some of the older games I might not have finished. Lately, the newly released games have been very hit or miss. Star Wars Battlefront, to me, was a huge disappointment and I had high expectations for that game. XCOM 2 is brutally hard and I know the creators pride themselves on making that game heinously difficult, but that doesn't make it fun (not to mention you could be a master at that game and still lose because of things beyond your control).

Besides, there are plenty of great games that don't rely on graphics to be good.

No yeah, I whole-heartedly agree about there being great games that don't rely on good graphics. Older games that are still fun reflect this, I think.

Just got a new laptop. :D So happy!

Same here! Mine just arrived earlier today. Was supposed to arrive on April 11-14, but I guess they gave me a 2-day shipping because of my recent issues.

Yeah, I never finished Dust: An Elysian Tail, Skyrim, The Walking Dead (that game just makes me nervous XD), and all the Bioshock games (and Bioshock was good, but whew, very long). State of Decay is awesome and I like how the map is randomized, but the only issue is... the map gets stale once you know all the ins and outs of it. If you were able to begin a new game and there were more maps to choose from, lordy, that game would have almost endless replay value.

True that! I actually never got past level 10 in Skyrim. :X

Yeah, I don't know, I just found it's not an easy game to get into. Fallout got me into the habit of scavenging around for goodies in dungeons and stuff, but Skyrim often doesn't give you enough rewards and treasure to make all the trouble you went through worth it. I think this is why Legend of Zelda does it better, because you know you're guaranteed at least one useful weapon, item, or reward for each temple or thing you explore, whereas in Skyrim, you take out half a platoon of enemies, avoid a million booby traps, and finally get to the end of the dungeon after a few hours of playing only to discover... oh, 25 gold and extra copies of the sword and shield I already have. There's been times when I thought I hadn't reached the end of the dungeon when I had.

So... yeah, eventually I drifted out of it and moved onto other games.
