"Hard Drive Space: 17 GB"
That's 34 times larger than the Windows XP operating system!!
Can you say "unoptimised, lazy console port?"
You're comparing the size of a AAA game released today to a bare-bones (content wise) operating system released more than 10 years ago?
Then you compare the size of the game to how much compressed video you could store in that same space. FYI, 16 GB gives you something like 30 minutes of 1080p video if you want to do a semi-accurate comparison.
I'd suggest you just get used to the fact that your awesome PC is going to be obsolete after a few years. Or forget about playing modern PC games, console port or not.
NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT / 9 / 100 / 200 / 300 / 400 / 500 / 600 series or better
Ok I get the 8600, but what are the rest of the categories equivalents to the 8600? It can't be an 8600 and then any other card in any of those other series, there are many cards < an 8600.

I still dont get what people see in this game and with ubisoft behind it.
I guess its a casual/dumb down version of Demon's Souls/Dark Souls
It caters to the middle eastern populace, go to any Futureshop, and when this game is on demo, you will always see people from that background playing this game. There is a market niche for most any game, can't please em all. Like MoP, 3 Billion copies sold in Asia from day 1.
not being racist, nor stereotypical, its business today.

You play your game and leave others in peace to play theirs.

Did I miss something?
I'm not seeing that either? Maybe Blue mistyped and corrected it?

I bet they spend at least a week longer on the DRM than they did developing the PC version.
Two series of any TV programme would only take 16GB and provide 48 hours of entertainment, for less money. Without requiring UbiSoft to keep their website working. Plus they'll have replay value...
I'll pass.
Did I miss something?
No game made yet NEEDS 8gb of RAM and if this is the first, it SCREAMS, to me at least, of shoddy programming. I don't understand that at all. None of the consoles come anywhere near that amount...

"...for that, we salute you, you big glorious ****** RIGS!"-Matt McMuscles, 'Wha Happun?!'
I never see games needing 8GB of RAM. Is it worth it to get 8GB for anything?
Also "Peripherals Supported: Windows-compatible keyboard, mouse, optional controller (Xbox 360 Controller for Windows recommended)" I hope it has good keyboard & mouse!

An incompetent schlub wrote this list, that's what it is. All of the "supported" video cards listed there are DX10 or better, though they are technically DX9 compliant, if you want to look at it that way, lol. If SM4.0 is indeed a requirement, though, that means they definitely did extra work on PC version, since none of the consoles support that.

It is the natural choice when XP compatibility is no longer a concern.
Why would they not market this to XP users?
