Does anyone of you know any low specs PC games that are available in Mandarin Chinese (simplified characters)? I really would like to pursue this learning strategy but am slightly limited by the performance of my PC, which is why I simply can’t run Diabol 3 or Starcraft 2. Purchasing a new PC or upgrading the old is currently not an option for me. So any suggestion could help

In reply to Koao. Yay! It's unbelievable that they didn't include this from the start, but of course we shouldn't complain since they have already fixed it. :D

In my experience playing the Chinese version of League of Legends, I’ve been able to learn critical gaming terminology simply by watching what’s said by other players. I’m still extremely limited in my ability to communicate in the game though, primarily because the names of items and characters are not easily sight-read.

Fortunately, this has cut down on my smack talking (not that I’m really a big talker in the first place). My general inability to detail exactly how I feel about the nature of your manhood in Chinese generally leads me to say nothing at all.

I no longer view video games as a quality source of language learning material, but I still advocate doing things that you enjoy in your target language. If you want to play Diablo 3 in Chinese, do it!

I wish I could play Diablo 3 at all. Stupid computer…
