Just started playing Far Cry 3. Me likey, to my surprise my laptop can run the game on ultra settings, and the frame-rate seems good enough for it to playable in that. Only downside is that it makes my laptop also really freaking hot.
I need to get a cooler for it. The fan for the laptop is beneath the laptops screen so, I just put a binder underneath it to get some leverage and let the hot air flow out more freely. It's working so far lol. The textures are meh but the lighting is really nice. Edit: I also think it's incredibly dumb that steam just launches uplay which then launches the game. silly drm's.
