thats because Digital downloads are not accounted for. Steam and the rest of the DD networks are doing very well.

What CPU do you have, if its anything like a quad core from intel running around 2.4 - 2.6ghz and you are gaming around 1080p with 2x-4x most likely it will be balanced. Now if you crossfire those GPUs then you may need a faster CPU.

More like a low end GPU like a 4850 ATI or 8800GTX from Nvidia plus any dual core cpu will be needed to run this resolutons beyond any console can handle.

"The topic: PC or Consoles? And the arguments the same old: PC needs upgrading in six months, blah blah. PC gaming is dying due to piracy, blah blah. Consoles are cheap and is a no fuss system, blah blah."

This topics been beaten to death, PC needing upgrades every six month argument is flawed. Console fans use this argument to satifiy their decision of console purchase. Infact when it comes to cost of games the total opposite is true, Due to higher prices on game...

Usually these games are very unoptimised, the Devs just dont have the funds to optimise on every platform. Take the example of simular games like:

Risen (Not released for PS3, On xbox 360 looks like a mess and runs badly)
Divinity 2 (again console version doesnt look good, PC version runs great).

Although both are good games they just run badly. However a solution is to play them on PC. PC hardware due to brute force is able to overcome badly opt...

Personally wouldnt like my phone to be so big and clunky. I would rather prefer the gaming device to be seperate.

Witcher 1 is now nearly 4 years old, with mods Witcher can easily rival the best of todays RPGs today in terms of graphics.

Cant wait to see what the modding community does with Witcher 2 and Elder Scrolls 5.

I dont see any use for the Kinect on my PC not for games anyways. I do however see it as a good controller for my HTPC.

Cant preorder it, since its not on Steam. EA need to rethink their business strategy if they want to sell.

There have been great RPGs on PC exclusively. However even the ones that are shared with console, the console version usually never hold up:

Witcher (PC exclusive, one of the best rpgs out in a long while, Witcher with mods looks better then any RPG out there).
Dragon age(console version is handicapped by controller and has low fps and textures).
Risen (its available on 360 but the game is a mess on the 360).
Mass effect 2(xbox version is decent h...

Paying for what should be free :P no deal will help overcome what is just wrong. When there are free networks like Steam out there, even the XBL being superior arguement is thrown out the window.

Personally i would like to see what sort of deals XBL is holding, though i bet they wont hold a candle to what was served on Steam and D2D this holiday.

Still needs a connection when launching the game. I say Ubisoft learn and remove this requirement.

Due to their ignorance they hardly had any sale during the Steam sales this holiday season. While other developers were praising Steam for the huge amount of sales they received.

Ubisoft need to learn while console sales are good, they tend to dry up after few months of release. On Pc things are different. Initial sales may not be on par with consoles howeve...

Well for all we know the laptop might be running it in med textures, no dx 11 effects etc.

While its good Sandybridge offers performance comparable to Console. I would never recommend anyone to gimp their gameplay experience. Adding a discrete graphics card which has multiple times better performance will only cost 100-150usd.

Why gimp a system which will cost the user 500-600usd. Might as well go the distance and add in a Discrete GPU. Also the fact that Graphics hardware needs driver updates very often, Nvidia and ATI have developed a very good software team ov...

Lets just hope the PC version isnt compromised due to consoles.

@BlmThug

Yep, they will only burn their franchise out. Later blame piracy for bad sales lol.

5500d ago 1 agree1 disagreeView comment

Just got Hot pursuit of the Steam sales. I think EA should slow down a bit before they milk the franchise to hell.

Anyways wont be be picking this up until i see it on discount sub 20usd atleast.
