Hi. I am currently on the fence about buying Phantom Doctrine, which is currently heavily discounted for the Lunar sale, but I´m not sure about two things, so I thought I´d ask the community here.

First is whether my 8 year old potato will be able to run it moderately well, even if I have to turn off/down some graphics settings (shadows and stuff like that). I have a Core i7 2600k, 8 Gbs of RAM and a Radeon HD 6870 with 1 Gb of vRAM. Upgrades of any kind are out of the question, I can´t afford any right now.

From Steam:
** System Requirements

Minimum:
    Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system

    DirectX: Version 11

    OS: Windows 10
    Processor: Intel Core i5-4670K / AMD FX-8320 or equivalent
    Memory: 16 GB RAM
    Graphics: GeForce GTX 960 / Radeon R9 290X
    Additional Notes: Online connection required for Multiplayer **

My second question is about the game itself. I read a Steam review that said that there was a strong emphasis on stealth, that you had to spend a lot of time undercover and that combat was punished with constant waves of enemy reinforcements, which limited how much you could search the maps for intel and secrets or whatever else.
I quite like the combat in this type of games, like Jagged Alliance 2, X-Com: UFO defense, Silent Storm, etc and I´m not a big fan of stealth, I prefer to go in guns blazing most of the time, so do you guys think I´d enjoy it (assuming I can run it)?

Thanks a lot in advance.

I can't really help for first question.

But for second question, what you read is correct.
Going into combat will make it much more difficult to "clean" a map.
I like stealth, so i don't mind.
But if it was for combat and gun fight, i would go for another game.

That said, maybe i am just noob at combat :D

PS: Add me on Steam and say Hello ;)
