VIDEO REVIEW

Here's that review I promised!

Unfortunately I had to use a 10 year old digital camera, so the quality is really, really low, and it ran out of free space before I could even finish :hateit:

But, here it is! I'll probably make another vid later to prove in runs Crysis in High settings.

Read the descrition for more detailed specs!

Nice cat lol :P
But your new laptop is preettieer... now I want one :( I think your laptop is more powerful than my desktop computer D:
 
I know for a fact it's more powerful than our desktop; my mom got the cheapest desktop she could find, and it crashes just whenever you open up a program. Not to mention it BARELY runs flight Simulator X, whereas this beast runs Crysis all on high :P

And that's my favorite cat... even though she gets worms a lot :(
 
Is the keyboard glossy? Just wondering.

Looks like I was wrong. What resolution can you run Crysis at with high settings?

If you are gonna run Crysis through a test later, you should have fraps in the corner so we can see the framerate like the previous video in the other blog you made.

previous video in another blog? um... I think you're confusing me with somebody else. This is the first video I've embedded, AND it's the first vid I have EVER uploaded to the internet. I have another vid on my youtube account, but that was something my broadcasting teacher uploaded. He was too lazy to make his own account :P

And, yes, the keyboard is glossy, so it's a fingerprint magnet like the lid :rolleyes:

I believe I run Crysis at 1280x720, but I'm not sure. I'll double check later.

I need to take a break from crysis, so I'm installing Crysis Wars as I type this. I watched my friend play it on his lappy, and it looked awesome!
 
That laptop can handle Crysis, but it will be very choppy, don't expect frame rates higher than 25.

Anyway, congrats on the update :yay:

you needed it....badly.

nope, hasn't been choppy at all.

I created an autoexec.cfg file and had it use all 1024MB of my graphics card. That, combined with the DDR3 RAM, means I can run it perfectly!

I tried it in very high, and I probably got <10 fps. There wasn't even that much of a difference between high and very high, so I'm not too disappointed :P
 
yikes... finished intalling crysis wars, and the patch I have to download is 511MB... :blink:

since Crysis 1 would take up too much resources, i guess I'll go to instantaction.com :yay:

Sorry, I mean a video I had posted in your previous blog post/update thing about a countdown.

ah thats fairly easy
shouldnt stress it that much
 
Crysis. Is. AWESOME!

I've been playing it off and on all day (mostly Crysis Wars, tho), and I gotta say it is the best game I have ever owned. Aside from Legend of Zelda: OoT... and Super Mario 64... and...uh...

Okay, best PC game I've ever owned.

I've been playing since 7:30pm, It's now 11:37pm, and I don't know if I'll be able to sleep.

Wish I din't have to go to church, then I'd play longer, sleep a little late, then play as much tomorrow as possible. Probably won't happen, though, cuz if mom saw this game she'd 100% FLIP. She's a Jehovah's Witness :glare:
 
lol you won't believe it

but i just bought the same acer

and it's the beste notebook i ever had
 
Hey dude, I have an idea.. Since you have a 64-bit operating system, you should install the Sandbox2 Editor! I would, but the computer I use is only a 32-bit, and it looks a little complicated for me to figure out right now...

EDIT: Can you make another vid of the laptop again running Crysis, too?

what's sandbox2?

and, yeah, i'll make a vid of crysis soon. havent had the time, tho :P
 
Holy crap!

It's not really for making stuff in the actual game, you can make your OWN games using the Crysis engine! Cant market them or anything, of course, but it's like the Counter Strike: Half-life mod, but this time it could be Crysis: Half-life... or Crysis: Counter Strike... I'm not sure which came first :P

hmmm... Half-Life + Counter Strike + Crysis = ...

good god, I'm gonna get started NOW!
 
Using Fraps, what's the average FPS you get on this game with high settings? I was thinking about buying this, but I was just wondering if the 2.1 GHz processor would hurt it at all... (I already own the game, can't play it well though.)

Also, does the Acer get hot at all? I know it has DDR3 ram, so it probably shouldn't...
