OOB Pacific - demo

[dwwright99]

Apologize if this was asked before - is there a demo for any OOB games, especially Pacific? My laptop is getting older, want to see if game will run, usual issue is that I have integrated graphics, not a separate graphics board.

You can play the boot camp campaign for free. Try it.
I should warn you - OoB is greedy AF. To enjoy the graphics, you need a powerful machine. Integrated Graphics will probably not do. I'd recommend a good desktop with 8 gigs ram, SSD, dedicated graphics card (good one, at least 2gigs ram and good chipset). Better choice than those expensive gaming laptop.

Not only do you get Boot Camp for free. You also get to play the first scenario of every current and future campaigns. So you can get a taste of a campaign before you decide to purchase it.

Andy,

Interesting,I have been coming to same conclusion about a good desktop for more recent games, good to hear it from an independent source.

Thanks, Dave W

Protip - build one yourself, dont buy a ready one. Gives you the components you want, saves money. And adds a surprisingly handy skill - you wont believe how many people consider you a wizard then. (Even though it is actually very easy.) There are very good guides online, all you need is a small screwdriver, maybe a Sunday, done. And that gives you a decent price/performance ratio. Some of the readybuilds are ridiculously overpowered and have those idiotic cases (flaming lights and shit..). I mean, you are not doing any video-editing, so you dont need all that raw power.
Oh yeah, OoB works a lot better with the 64bit Windows and 8gigs of RAM. (My experience.)
