    im thinking of egtting this of amazon but i need to know some things about it first.

    is it any good?

    on the website it has this written

    does this mean the nvidia geforce 9600m gt in my laptop wont work?

    lastly, i know this should be in the big thread at the top of the gaming section but as this is a thread about gh3 in general, wil it work with 2ghz dual core p7350 procesor, 3gb ram and a nvidia geforce 9600m gt

    ?

    many thanks

    That list isn't kept up to date, since there is a new video card/chipset released every two to three weeks. Your 9600M GT will be able to play GH3 fairly well.

    I hear tell the PC version isn't really worth it. It chugs pretty bad even on higher-end systems, and you can't have skippy framrates in a rhythm game.

    i read that aswell but i thought that would jsut be a couple of systems. hmm may not get it then

    any other game you would reccommend for someone who isnt a serious gamer but likes to kill people, play online etc and generally have fun?

    Ran fine on my old Sager 5791 with an 8700m GT at 1920x1200, it stutters for about 5 seconds on the first song, so just let it stutter, then press pause, and restart the song, and it'll be all fine for the entire rest of the game. There's really nothing wrong with the game other than the first song you play will stutter for a few seconds, then it's all fine every song after that.

    I actually just played the game on PC about an hour ago, and I can tell you, it's great!
