pah, what rediculous requirements.

Such a stupid move from their side. This will only promote piracy. Your going to have everyone pirating the game to see if their computer can even run it. no on will risk spending $60 on a game when they are on the fence for requirements.

Hate when pc games don't work. Hell i bought Myst a couple years ago and I couldn't get it work. I bought Fable the lost chapters like last steam sale and I couldn't get it to work. now mind those games only cost like

Unfortunately, even for people like you and I, there will probably STILL be optimization issues. Slightly unrelated:  I'm currently playing Ryse. In all honesty, I'm enjoying it more than most games I played all year. Only gripe with the game - it needs serious patching. My PC should be running it without breaking a sweat, right? Not exactly. The framerates fluctuate from 120 down to 50fps, quite often, and I just don't see why. Yes, it's spec hungry, but I have the specs. 

I feel like many of these devs consider PC an after thought, and because of such, no matter how beastly our rigs are, we'll still have problems - problems that scream: UNOPTIMIZED!

While I agree that PC games should be optimized,I already gave up on the thought that they will be anytime soon, I believe is up to us to explore any options that might be causing problems, simple things like in-game anti-aliasing or v-sync sometimes cause them.I'm running the game at 4k at steady 60fps, so a little tweaking could fix your problem.

Yeah I know...This has always been the issue and is another thing PC gamers need to keep track of. I remember when Sonic Generations was getting 40 FPS at launch with GTX 670 SLI. Then sega patched it and now its butter smooth...at 60 fps since its locked. Sigh!

I'm quite disconnected from PC gaming to be honest so I really don't care for Ubisoft shenanigans. Whatever spare time I have I spend building my own Super Dreamcast Omega Prime console that runs everything lol.

Probably we'll have to deal with this crap from some publishers during the first years of 8th gen, then, later this gen, the most graphics-whorish devs will start feeling consoles limit again their ambitions and skills and, while squeezing more power out of consoles thanks to longer experience on the platforms and better optimizations of system libraries, drivers, OS' and dev libraries and tools, they'll also make again games that look considerably better on high-end PCs.

I noted that with Ryse on my  GTX 880 SLI, there are still some FPS issues. Mostly smooth . The jump from my previous AMD 8730M was pretty huge, so I was able to enjoy the performance boost....

I would say this would say this another count of over inflated system requirements (like The Evil Within and Shadow of Mordor) but this is Ubisoft so maybe it just is that unoptimized.


I would say that Shadow of Mordor was inflated since it run on medium on my GTX650 in 1080p@30. But not The Evil Within. That piece of unoptimized garbage just runs at 720p in low, even if the visuals on ultra are worse than RE6.

Edit: Time to buy a 970.


seriously one hell of an unoptimized version was that Evil Within. Why do they release versions like that with Hard mode...I finished it on Survival but would never go on Nightmare for this reason.

980 would be a better option.
