I am hesitating between buying one of these two for my laptop. Which one would you recommend - GTA V or MK X ? My specs are: Intel i3 (2,4 GHz), 6GB RAM and Geforce 740M. Thank you.
GTA5 if one is all you can do. It's the only one I'd care for out the two at least. Though you have to have 64bit windows and not everyone does so I thought I'd point it out just in case.
I am moving your topic to the PC Discussion board as I think you will be able to get more help in terms of which game will run better on the hardware you listed, plus a better idea on which game overall.
You're more than likely to get more longevity from Grand Theft Auto V for PC (considering if it's extremely optimized for everyone to play and enjoy) over Mortal Kombat X. With fighting games for PC, a huge issue is dealing with any netcode issues (MK9 and Injustice had this issues apparently, I wouldn't know for sure as I only played MK9 on PS3). If you've already played GTAV however, pick up X if that's really what you're interested in. I personally have X preordered for PS4 while GTAV is on the back burner until a few weeks roll out to make sure players are enjoying it and it's not glitchy or anything.
Mortal Kombat X, while GTA5 for PC is the true GTA5 that people were hoping for I don't believe it warrants a full $60 price tag, especially given its an old game, if Rockstar wanted me to pay that much then they should have released the game for PC back when it was released for the PS3 and 360 and updated gradually from there to its current level, Mortal Kombat X on the other hand is a brand new game.
Mortal Kombat X is using an engine from 2004 (albeit modified) in the year 2015. The developers need to stop being so lazy and learn a newer engine. I'd go with GTA 5 regardless because it seems more fun.

Who cares? MKX looks just as good as any modern game. If it still looks nice, then why complain?
Because it's lazy, as I just said. There's no reason not to use Unreal Engine 4 especially when they're charging $90 for it. And doesn't look good at all imo, not even close to most other modern games. This is PC version maxed out. It looks very last gen.

I completely disagree, Implying the creation of a triple AAA game is lazy just because they used a slightly older engine is insane
If you compare MKX to the last Mortal Kombat game, it is a significant upgrade.

is he waving his knife around like he just don't care
I'd probably recommend not picking up any fighter on PC, unless you don't care about multiplayer. The player base on all these games start to dwindle in a week from launch. I mean, most fighting games have dreadful netcode so it's not a huge deal.

A slightly older engine? It's 8 years older. It's not insane to think they're lazy at all. They are and they're showing it proudly by using UE3 instead of UE4. There's literally no reason not to use UE4 except for being lazy. It's 2015 and all "next gen" consoles are out. It's time to start using next gen engines instead of last gen crap. What's the point of even buying next gen consoles/hardware if you're gonna keep using an engine from 2004?

I'm not sure if you're aware, but engines nowadays are constantly updated and modified. Advanced Warfare still has code dating all the way back to 1999, but to say that game looks bad and sledgehammer is lazy would be completely wrong. Not to mention, development of MKX started in early 2012. Unreal Engine 4 wasn't even revealed until later in the year. How exactly were they going to use an engine that wasn't even avaliable to them? You'll probably say that they should have made a new engine from scratch then, but that would be far more time consuming and expensive.
People don't judge how next gen a game is by the engine it's using. They look at the visuals and gameplay improvements that the game offers.
@JangoWuzHere: UE4 was released and demoed in 2012. I never judged the game by the engine it's using lol. I never said a single word about the gameplay or anything else. It looks pretty cool but I would never consider it over GTA 5 on PC. The only lasting fighting game I've ever seen on PC was Street Fighter.
