It’s lists like these that remind me why I started buying consoles.

It’s bonkers. PCs like that aren’t cheap.

They’re not that high really. Much better than the original specs anyway.

+1 Blerk.
I really can’t be arsed/can’t afford to keep up. I need to have a PC sugardaddy who kits me out with the latest gear twice a year.

My PC will run it, but only because I bought it at Christmas. I can’t be arsed to play it, however.

The midrange GPU in the recommended specs above is an 18 month-old card. Minimum CPUs are from the same period.

Fair enough. I do know worryingly little about up-to-date CPU and GPU stuff.
March 11th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
and THAT is the real issue facing PC gaming.

Yeah - my issue with the list isn’t because of the size of the specs or whatever, it’s because I haven’t a clue whether my computer actually meets those specs or not.
Well, that’s a bit of a lie - I know for a fact it wouldn’t be able to run the installer. But you catch my drift.
