I don't get why people give companys **** for releasing games that require yet to be released hardware to run them at full settings.

I could understand if the game didn't look great but that's not the case with this game.

Sure it's recommended system requirements are about the same as most new fps's optimum but you can be sure that even at medium settings it'll look as good or better than many new games on the market.

Do you guys not want the option to play it again at even better gfx in a year or two if you happen to upgrade your hardware?

Why should a company dumb down a games gfx just so current hardware can run it on high.

As a pc gamer i would like (hope) to think that we are not to stupid to just slide the bar down to high/medium instead of getting a low framerate at max and complaining.

edit: i know most of the people who posted in this thread aren't complaining, im just ranting because i know hundreds of people will complain like they did with crysis

1. You are assuming it looks that much better, so far i haven't seen anyting all that impressive in this game. The mood looks great but i question how much "better" it looks than a number of other games.

2. Crysis is a poor example since it still runs like poo on almost everything except the most extreme rigs, where it still doesn't work great considering what you are throwing at it.

3. I do agree, turing down the details seems to be a lost art, it was a year before I had the hardware to run Quake II at max settings, but that was a fun year.

The minimum requirements are not actually that bad, yes your not gonna max it out but I bet its more than playable.

My pc exceeds the minimum and ive not upgraded for almost 3 years...

I just started playing this game.

When I first loaded up the game, I maxed everything out and set it to 1920x1200, and of course DX11. Basically even the menu system was slow and laggy.

So there was really only 2 options for AA and AF (i believe those are the 2) so either high setting, or very high setting lol, I of course lowered it too the lower one.

The game looks and plays amazing, though when I am fighting a bunch of guys, it seems to slow down, but its not even a laggy kind of slow, it's quite weird. So overall 90% maxed settings, amazing with my specs.

I have a Q6000 2.4Ghz Quad, 8GB DDR2, HD5870

Though to see it play on a NVIDIA based card, and 3D and everything 100% maxed, would be nice.

I was reading the Steam forums. Turn off Tessellation and Advanced Depth of View. With these two features off, people were able to max everything with similar specs to yours.

With the excepting to battles (which even then is only a bit of lag, I can handle it) 1920x1200 everything maxed, but Tessellation is turned off, that is the only thing.

*I am at the part with my new friend, after getting to the station. With all the things attacking us.....i keep running out of the gas mask, and I choke and die, I dont see any new mask? Might have to load a different save, farther back.

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).

    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
