No it's YOUR fault and not the game's or the developer's.

I played Dead Rising on a 11 inch SDTV a few years ago and I know how hard it is to read the text there. But just because my TV is 12 years old I would never blame the developers for it.

I knew the screen is small, I knew I could only play in SD and miss out on many things, so I can't complain.

Windows 7 doesn't run properly on any 4 years old standard PC without upgrades for example. If I would complain about upgrading from Windows 95 to Windows 7 because my rig is not good enough, everybody would laugh at me big time.

 

Win7 runs great on 4 year old PCs =P

I have here a PC magazine from November 2005, where a standard PC doesn't have the required DirectX9 GPU, only half the required RAM and barely 1GHz.

The middle class PC doesn't have the required 1GB either. Only the high end PC fulfills all the Windows 7 requirements.

So it doesn't run on a 4 years old standard PC without upgrading anything, but of course it could run on a 4 years old PC.

naw dood, the early amd 64s came out in 2003 and those run win7 great(runs wonderfully on a xp3200 too,) so i don't know what crack you are smoking =P, my x2 4400 is still running on my media pc with an ati card doing the hd decoding (a card i just picked up last year to turn it into a MPC) and has had 2 gigs of ram and 3 gigs at one point for years without costing an arm and a leg, and cheap dx9 video cards hit back in 2004 as well, just gotta build your own machines and I always did. AMD was the way to go back in the days, and those were never high end parts in the old days either.

 

ps: 4 years ago was 2006 too, it was much more advanced at that point.

Don't know what you're arguing about, but 1GB RAM was not the standard back then and definitely not 2GB when using the first 64-bit desktop CPUs. An AMD Athlon XP3200+ (and I had one of them) was almost high end at that time.

1GB RAM cost over 100€ in Europe back then.

November 2005 to February 2006 is only a 4 months difference. I looked up the February 06 issue and there were still the same descriptions for each PC.

You're not one of the standard PC users, so why do you quote me again ? I said it's possible to run Windows 7 on a 4 years old PC, but only on a pretty good one.

I think the difference is that I'm from the US, and things get cheap here really fast, it's that way even now when talking about computers, so we are looking from completely different continents =). Which is understandable.
