Wait.... its DX11 ONLY??? OMG, thats stupid COD Ghosts logic.... God damn it! This can run on a ps3/360/wiiU, there is NO REASON that it has to be DX11 mandatory!!!

This game should have been next gen ONLY from the start ... 

Yea but it isn't... PC is about having options so that tons of different types of PCs can run it... Now its just locked to the PCs with dx11 video cards which is retarded since it can run on ps3 and 360... I have a dx11 video card but last time what happened was that my 6870 broke right when cod ghosts came out and I bought it for PC and I had to use my 9800gtx+ and I couldn't play the damn thing for over a month till my RMA came back with a 7850... And the worst part is, cod ghosts doesn't even look that good in medium or high and the 9800gtx+ could run BF4 which is a much better looking game even at medium to low settings... I hate being locked to certain specs even though the game can run on ps3/360 cause you can never know what might happen

If a game is built from ground up with dx11 and can only run on next gen consoles, sure go ahead, but if it can run on ps3/360/wiiU but they make it mandatory dx11 on PC, that just pisses me off cause its just being lazy and stupid

Wii U has feature set on the same level as DirectX 11/Open GL 4.3 ...

There's just no reasons for PC gamers to not have DX11 GPUs anymore ... Even Intel graphics are better than those last gen consoles! 

These games only run on those consoles cause it's SPECIFICALLY made for them. Supported feature sets don't mean much when these consoles use specific APIs!

I agree that PC gamers shouldn't but many do... If games like BF4 can have support for DX9 and DX10, so should every game that can run on ps3/360. All I am saying is that its just lazy development on Ubisoft's part to not include those options... Heck, I wouldn't be even a least bit surprised of Watch_Dogs on low looks exactly like ps3/360 graphics just like how cod ghosts was which again = why make it mandatory unless they are just lazy

I get its different API and etc but that still doesn't excuse it when a game is being made for PC

I'm sure my i5 3570k can handle it.

What about being poor, is that a valid excuse? I still have a 9800gt and I'm poor xD According to Steam metrics 30% still don't have DirectX 11 cards, so I guess I'm not alone.

hahaha perfect excuse

BF4 only has support for DX 10 and not DX 9. You have no idea if ubisoft is lazy or not! From where I think any one who is working on the product is FAR from lazy. You wouldn't know if watch dogs on it's lowest settings would look like the last gen consoles. Crysis 3 on the other hand at it's lowest settings on PC even beats the consoles!

Being poor is one thing but integrated graphics have come a long way on AMD APUs ... So there's that.

And now my PC no longer feels awesome. :(

The "minimum" years old Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 is up with the PS4/XOne netbook 8-cores..

The "recommended" i7 is eating them all for lunch.


about the DX11 stuff here. Take some money into your hands and buy a Maxwell Nvidia. In the long run it even might save you some bucks on power consumption...
