Right. My PC is basically 4 year old gaming rig. ATI x700 , 1 gig ram... nothing to write home about.
However , i am pondering lately: Should i buy a new GAMING PC , or just upgrade this old one and buy XBox 360.... AOC is the only MMO that aims for high end PC. Same goes for other PC games. High end graphic = low sales.It is a lesson learned for PC developers.(just look at dev reports for every other MMO , they all boast how their games will be completely playable , even on old machines)
So it boils down to - buying a new PC for AOC. Or just upgrading.
And right now , i am really sceptic about AOC.
I am sure it has nice graphic and animation.
But combat system seems a bit too button mash intensive. It all sounds a lot like a real good action oriented single player RPG - with other people playing aswell. And not like virtual fantasy world. It is hard to explain what i mean.... but maybe you understand.
