You are making most of these facts up. You have no idea what the average PC is capable running nowadays so stop assuming that they couldn't play this game as it looked. You are also ignoring the simple option of graphics settings. Can't run at ultra? Try low settings then. 

Again, assuming that a) few high end gamers exist (which is wrong b) you have to be high end to play it how it was (even though I have said otherwise). You are now just making things up to justify why a brand new game should look pants.


I'd assume he has an idea. Actually we know what  an average PC would do, since Steam publish this data. You'd be surprised about the results.

Since someone else opted to use Steam data (most non PC users seem to cite this more so than actual PC gamers which is weird), I'd like to ask, do you think that Steam HWS is 100% correct, does it encompasse all PC gamers despite the fact you can opt out? (I opted out years ago).

Steam survey is skewed towards active pc gamers, even more so towards those who like to compare their system against the rest. So if anything I would assume that the actual average pc is less capable than the Steam survey suggests.

It would be more interesting to see what the average pc is of people that play demanding games on Steam, but I guess they keep that data private to sell to game companies. So blame me and many others for playing The Witcher 2 on a GT230m that they abandoned global illumination for the 5%. (or whatever small percentage of high end hardware gamers)
