Jovetic I can run this game past recommended but I don't feel like breaking my keyboard over my knee so I don't think I'll get it lol. I haven't tried Dark Souls 1 yet but I heard it's terribly hard. I also heard the PC Port is very bad.

The PC port for the first one is awful but the second seems like it will be fine.

Not very promising. Expected higher specs tbh but we'll have to see how it runs in real time.

Dang, these are some really low requirements. I'm surprised there wasn't a need for more GPU power.

These requirements are surprisingly low, I thought it would need more for the graphics.

First one was ok, hopefully this one is better.

It does not seem demanding at all.....
