Whichever lets you run the game... Well, technically, even an integrated graphic chipset can "run" the game just fine, as long as it provides some very basic support of shading & lighting capabilities. Would it perform well (as in, to be playable without feeling like a slide show)? No...

Sorry, but "512MB video card" is too vague to take seriously. Which performs better: 512MB GeForce 7600 or 320MB GeForce 8800? And since we're talking about a strategy game, you can survive with just 1GB RAM if you still use Windows XP. RAM is indeed cheap though, I'll give you that. But w...

That's good to hear. Guess, it doesn't sound that bad after all (the requirements did sound a bit high to me). I hope the final product runs fine even on minimum requirements.

Yeah, it's hard to believe a stupid cartoon almost ruined a legendary game character/title. How they came up with such a cool name (in a cartoon named "Captain Planet") is beyond me.

And what's really funny was that his name was actually "Duke Nukum" in the first game. :D

Correct, and I do miss those large maps to be honest, but you've got to admit it - they were graphically less complex than today's maps (basic lighting, basic shadows, low resolution textures, less polygons, etc).

Hmm, never played LoL (though I did hear good things about it). Maybe I'll try it some day... (even if I suck at Dota-like games. Heck, I suck at RTS's in general. :( )

But Civ V has more active (animated) units on the map and sometimes it can get way too crowded (units on every tile, unlike HoMM). As for Disciples III, I think the models had poor animations which made them look even worse. It was a step back from Disciples II in which some units had kick-ass anima...

Agreed. Other than that, I think Valve have done a great job at leaving out (and selling) all the things that don't affect gameplay.

Yeah, hats, but mostly $2.49 Mann Co. Keys which are store-exclusive (not droppable).

The screen matters little beyond the time it takes to load it at the start... Then why do we get a town window instead of a full screen town interface? The same resources that are used on the Adv Map graphics are used for the 3D town screen, so it makes little difference to the min/recommended sys ...

I know, I know, I just don't feel that H6 looks technically good enough to justify its system requirements. The system requirements are pretty much tripled from the previous title, but the game already looks a bit aged - better than H5, yes, but still, "aged". It's like the requirements ar...

So, it is just one time authentication during installation (Good to know I wasn't the only one confused with the wording of that). I guess it's better than requiring a constant internet connection or "checking" it every time you run the game. Of course, it would be even better if it didn't...

^ It will definitely RUN on your computer, regardless of settings. And if your video card is above the requirements I think it should run just fine. But don't take my words for granted, because I really don't know how well the game is optimized. Do test it if a demo comes out. For instance, BioShock...
