What games could I run?

[Coreyman03]

  To start off I have a pretty crap PC for gaming, I am saving to build one. I was wondering what games I would be able to run as of now?(I still have 2 years to go)

Specs:

Cpu: Intel i5 4210U with 3M Cache and up to 2.7GHz

Gpu: Mobile Intel HD Graphics(AKA integrated graphics)

RAM: 6 gigs

Not much, almost all games will be in low detail at most

Maplestory?

But seriously, don't expect to be gaming much with that laptop.

If you're maxing out Borderlands 2 on an iGPU, then I am very concerned, considering I can't even really max it out and get consistent frame rates on an 850M.

Well, if you don't care too much for AAA graphical fidelity, you can pick up some older games. I would Recommend The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, and IV: Oblivion- two games that are, in my opinion, far ahead of Skyrim (oh, you can probably play that on medium settings with SweetFX and still have it look great).

Grab Fallout 3 if you can- from what I know, it should be playable at medium-high settings at 720p, low-medium at 1080.

Another great game that hasn't lost any of its charm or even its quality with age is Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. This is a bonus if you're a Star Wars fan, as it's easily the best entry in the saga in any medium. In the same pool, there's Star Wars: Battlefront II and the Jedi Knight games, which are a ton of fun and aren't too hard on the eyes either, although they're vastly inferior to Knights of the Old Republic.

Also, just to get the most out of these games, go into the laptop's BIOS, and bump up the amount of RAM the onboard graphics can use. Granted, this isn't possible on many models, but it's worth a shot. 

You could also check out Dragon Age: Origins, the Portal titles, the original BioShock, probably even BioShock infinite at lower detail. 

Many of these games might be classified as somewhat 'retro', but trust me, many of these look a lot like they were just recently released.

Furthermore, give Crysis 1 a shot. Even at the low-medium settings, it looks great and makes for an excellent gameplay experience. On that note, there's also Far Cry 1 and 2, which should run fine on there.

The resolution is not very high though(720p I think)
