LOL!!!!

Personally I don't understand these console > PC ports. I mean the damn game is obviosly meant for a controller but I guess there's some out there that only go PC because it's "mature" or something.

[Cryoma]

O.o
I barely have 250 megs of RAM.

[Hatsumi]

With the exception of having Vista (I won't switch until I ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO), my computer actually meets recommended but I'd rather play on a console. My TV is bigger than my computer monitor... ><;

[Spike]

ive noticed useing a widescreen hdmi tv games like s.t.a.l.k.e.r look great! just wish my computer could play new games (i have a p4 2.6)

[Richter Scale]

Haha. That is pretty damn crazy.

Then again, a lot of people just build their rigs super strong, and lucky for them, they won't have to buy a 360 considering how many ports are being made.

[NeoGamer]

I think they didn't have time to optimize the port very well... Crysis is way more beautiful but the minimum specs are damn lower than these... ubisoft had to rush before Assassin's Creed becomes too old, so they're just throwing it on your PC in any way they can.

[Spaded!]

I agree most ports are rush jobs, but I still feel more comfortable with a mouse and keyboard over a game controller.

I'll still play it, but probobly not buy it.
