minimum settings are way TOO low .
Because it pays to lie.
I mean that literally. It does actually pay to lie about it.
What game have you come across that’s unplayable with minimal hardware?
Assassin’s Creed III was unplayble even on Recommended specs, but anyway codmasters is always good with it’s PC titles or PC ports
None.
But of course, it’s a valid argument that turd graphics running at ultra low resolution at 1 frame per second is considered playable.
What kind of game gave you 1FPS with the minimum requirements?
But look at how high the recommended settings are. I’ve always thought it’s a good idea to allow for a VERY broad range of graphical settings because it allows for far more potential customers to be able to play the game. And that could result in more revenue for the developer, which keeps them in business.
Yep.
Lie to make money.
Seems to be the best way.
Recommended i7, always makes me laugh when I see that.
I honestly don’t think people should panic when they see i7 as recommended. I think devs just put that there because it’s probably the best CPU they tested the game on.
Agreed.
1st generation i7 or higher
20 gb hdd Mmm I smell high res textures
I hope it will be great game because I want it NOW!!!
I havent purchased GRID 2 because its not available in DVD format for Canada. They have a complete edition steam only. Just have not got around to getting it. Those releases that don’t get a physical copy are put on the back-burner for me. I may never get it. They probably won’t release a physical copy of this one either. I can’t download 15 gigabytes on my connection. It would take months.
