So your argument is that because you have a crappy PC that a PC game that probably is poorly programmed isnt good on that platform but it runs well on consoles.

You do realize there are some major flaws in that argument.


Get a good computer, Beyond the Sword is Beyond what your PC can handle.

My computer handles EVERY other part of Civ 4, and runs it great.  Beyond the Sword won't LOAD.  Do you understand that?  Why shouldn't I expect an expansion for a game I have to work?

So, I am supposed to drop $1000 just to be able to play games? 

And my comment here isn't that the program was coded poorly.  It is that the platform for the PC is not consistent, which results in the inability to trust code working on one's machine.  Even using a demo is no guarantee either.  I ran the PC demo for Galactrix and it worked.  What happened with the commercial product is that

And, you SERIOUSLY are calling games designed by Firaxis "poorly programmed"?  Are you SERIOUSLY saying that?  Sid Meier's team is a bunch of hacks?  REALLY?

Please read what you wrote.  You said to...

1. Get a good computer because

2. An EXPANSION to a game that works great on my laptop is "too much for my PC to handle"

Tell me where that is not flawed.
