Our Opinion

These are some crazy requirements for a PC game. Even the minimum requirement will need a pretty powerful PC to run. it is disappointing how the developers did not make the intensive demand be limited by just a few changes in setting. I understand not everything can just be turned on and off but 6GB of RAM is a lot and may limit the sales on the PC. 

Personally, I am not worried about these setting since I run on a PC capable of ULTRA but I am not the average gamer wanting to enjoy a good game. I have a strong feeling that Console sales will be way more than PC sales and this may hurt the company but time will tell for this one.
