Great Games You Won’t Be Allowed to Play
The gamers in the forums were drooling over Crysis the other day, which is the latest in a string of “Next Big Thing” games. We gamers always have one of those at the center of our conversations, a too-awesome-to-be-true game that’s always JUUUUUST over the horizon. Once it arrives, we believe, it will crash down onto the gaming world like the fist of God.
As pretty as the above pic is, a still image doesn’t really do it justice. If the below video isn’t a complete hoax, then the level of immersion with Crysis appears to be beyond anything you’ve experienced:
There’s a point about two minutes into that video where, if you don’t feel a sudden warmth spreading in your chest, then you do not have the heart of a gamer, my friend.
It starts with that tank, the one that comes roaring toward the fragile-looking shed you’ve unwisely chosen to take cover in. The tank meets that building and just runs that shit over, spilling hunks of wood and tin like matchsticks. It’s so satisfying to watch, it makes you want to buy the game just so you can find a tank and just drive around crushing virtual buildings all weekend. Though the guy mowing down an entire jungle with a minigun was nice, too.
Do you want it? Well, too bad.
To play Crysis on the “recommended” settings, you need:
Processor - Intel Core 2 DUO @ 2.2GHz
Memory - 2GB RAM
GPU - NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS/640 or similar
Sure, you may meet the first two requirements, if you just bought your computer in the last couple of months. That last thing on the list? The video card? It’s about $400. Yep, that part alone costs more than a whole XBox 360.
Now, if you’re not currently a gamer and you’d like to get in on the Crysis action from scratch, a new computer that can run it (according to the Dell website) will cost $2,639. So, adding in the game itself plus shipping or tax, and you’re up around the $2,800 mark.
Holy shit. That’s an XBox 360 and 40 games. That’s a Wii and 51 games.
I don’t begrudge anyone their expensive hobbies; golfers spend thousands on their clubs and I’ve sunk five grand into the huge speakers in the back of my El Camino. But, even if you’re REALLY into gaming, isn’t that starting to stretch your fun-per-dollar pretty thin? It seems you could do a lot more with three grand. Just off the top of my head, you could:
- Pay a shady doctor $3,000 to replace your left arm with a flamethrower.
- Put 3,000 boxes of Jello powder into your pool. Or, your neighbor’s pool.
- Pay MMA fighter Randy Couture to pick a fight with you in front of your girlfriend at a bar, then let you throw him through a plate glass window.
- Bribe the grizzly bear handlers at the zoo to shoot the animal full of sedatives, at which point you “accidentally” fall into its pen. Let the local news cameras show up just in time to capture you wrestling the bear into submission on live TV.
- Buy a cell phone jammer. You know, for when you go to the movies.
- Rent a chimpanzee and a set of little surgical scrubs for it to wear. Splatter some blood on him and chase him through a waiting room full of weeping families.
- Pay for six months of sessions with a therapist, and tell him you’re having paranoid fantasies. Then, just as you’re having your breakthrough, hire six guys in dark suits to burst into the office, throw you screaming into a black van and speed away.
- Pay a woman to have sex with you.
You know, I just realized that every single one of those is illegal in most states. So, maybe that’s the attraction for the high end gamers, that it’s the most fun they can have without winding up in jail. Well, go to it, then. If any of you out there wind up with Crysis and the hardware to run it, let me know. I’ll come over. It’ll take both of us to play it anyway, since as of next week my left arm will be a flamethrower.

It doesn’t even look like that great a game. It just looks like a standard military FPS with breakable trees and shit. That’s the main problem these days with PC games: they are damn sure that no one wants a fun game, they want a hyper realistic game with $500 worth of photo-realistic graphics.
October 18th, 2007 at 10:43 am
The $2,639 pricetag for a machine to run this game is crap, you can build a system to run this for $1,200 (not including a monitor). Dell is just trying to get you to pay for their overpriced gaming rigs.
October 18th, 2007 at 10:58 am
Kind of a bad point. This game isn’t even released yet, and you can get a computer that runs it on the recommended setting for $2800. Is that a lot of money? yes it is. So if you insist on buying this game the second it comes out, and you’re getting a new computer for that and only that, you’re wasting a ton of money. But as computer technology goes forward the parts required to play this game will become cheap. Think of how much it would have cost to buy a computer that could run morrowind in 1999.
October 18th, 2007 at 11:08 am
I’ve got a PC which could run it, cost 1600 euros, $2200 at current rates.
October 18th, 2007 at 11:22 am
Well I recently bought a brand new gaming PC thaT actually exceeds those specs for around $1800. And additionally, unlike a console I don’t need a very expensive HDTV to play in its full glory. And double additionally, the next time I build one, I can save a lot of money by keeping the same hard drives/dvd drives/case/psu etc. Triple additionally, I also like strategy games are absolutely awful on a console by comparison.
October 18th, 2007 at 11:30 am
I believe the point Mr. Wong is trying to make is that the PC as a platform is a constantly-moving target and that this results in a steady resource (e.g. money) drain for consumers. Sure, the price of computer components decreases fairly quickly over time but by the time a system capable of handling today’s current reason-destroyers (e.g. Crysis) reaches an acceptable price point, the next big one (e.g. Crysis ‘Ultimate’) will take its place, requiring yet again a then-expensive PC.
October 18th, 2007 at 11:49 am
The problem with the game Crysis though is the gameplay. Yes it has shit-bitchingly awesome graphics and physics, but with this game, gameplay was literally an afterthought. Crysis itself was supposed to be a tech-demo that would show off all the neat stuff the engine could do, and then they decided to add gameplay and try to milk it for even more money. Once someone really takes advantage of that engine, and is you know, trying to actually make a game with it, then I’ll look into getting a better comp for it.
And yeah, never buy gaming computers from Dell, thats retarded. Build your own and you can halve that price easy.

I tried to play Far Cry (another Crytek game) on my old machine… it took like 20 minutes to load each map and choked whenever anything cool happened.
I guess it looked pretty good, though. You know - when it was actually playable. Which was never.
October 18th, 2007 at 1:06 pm
Yeah cry more about the gameplay please. This was pretty much a showcase of next-gen graphics and gaming capabilites, just like the short films before Pixar movies are to showcase some new software that has been created. Seriously, don’t bitch about the gameplay until it is released (assuming you have a system with the capabilities to handle it.) It looks pretty, hopefully the mob UI won’t suck, and I’ll keep my eye out for it.
October 18th, 2007 at 1:29 pm
no one cares what you are going to do comicgirl
October 18th, 2007 at 1:47 pm
I put together a PC myself about 8 months ago that meets or beats the Crysis recommended specs, and I paid $1850 for the components, not including the monitor. It would probably cost more like $1400 to do it now. $2800? Nah. And I could probably put together a computer that could at least run Crysis for in the $600 range.
October 18th, 2007 at 2:20 pm
Ok….so who here wants to spend $60 on a great looking tech demo. Anyone?
What’s the point of a ‘parametric skeletal system’ when all you’ll see is your character’s hands?
Is it to gawk at the animations of other characters in the three seconds they’re running away from or towards you? “Wow! Did you see how that character’s shoulders moved just before he shot me?!?!”
I like the level of environment interaction, but so much of this just seems masturbatory.
October 18th, 2007 at 3:14 pm
Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees. Why are you people quibbling about price points, when the exact number isn’t important? DF-M’s point is probably exactly what Mr. Wong was trying to get at. Whether it’s $1800 or $2500, the point is is that, in order to run the “next big thing,” it is most likely going to run another large expense over and above the stuff that MOST people have already overpaid for. 1) The übergamers that have the cutting-edge video cards that exceed current graphics requirements are the exceptions to the rule. 2) Even if it only cost you $1800, It’s still an expensive way to get your video game fix, when a console system will run you about $1200-$1550 less. To most users, the graphics won’t be that much off, and the AI will be just as shitty, since, as we all know, the game manufacturers have abandoned AI development and let online multiplayer capabilities pick up that slack. I’m sorry, I got out of this shit because, if I can’t even get decent training in single-player mode, I DON”T WANT THE GAME!!! They’ve decided to get lazy because they knew the hardcores would shell out monthly payments to play a game they already laid out money for to have a REAL intelligence pick up the slack for them.
October 18th, 2007 at 3:19 pm
This video was supposed to sell the engine, you could just as well use it for a 3rd person shooter that would require good character animations.
I second the motion that the price tag is way lower than 2600$. Despite that, no one’s ever excluded from playing a game. In two years’ time you can get all of it even cheaper.
October 18th, 2007 at 3:37 pm
Game designers 20 years ago:
“damn, the memory and graphic capacities we are workin with suck ass. If we want people to buy this game it’s goin to have to be awesome”
Game designers today:
“sure a couple grand sounds exspensive, but we got procedual motion warped breasts. Just toss in 30 minutes of shit for them to shoot at and lets wrap this puppy up before next quarter.”
October 18th, 2007 at 5:21 pm
I’m surprised that oh-so many readers of a comedy website can oh-so miss the point.
October 18th, 2007 at 5:39 pm
Yeah, Daniel’s right. David Wong is first and foremost, a comedy writer, not a commenter on the state of the electronic entertainment industry. Keep an open mind when you read it and know that his aim is to make you laugh (and point out a few things in the process). Check out his monkeysphere article.
October 18th, 2007 at 5:53 pm
yeah. its really not that expensive, but the point is pretty valid. i have a geforce 8800 gts system with 2 gigs of ram and an athlon 64 x2. $900 total. without buying a monitor or keyboard or $400 windows or any of that extra crap. chances are if you are reading this you already have those components. but still for $900 you could buy a shitty car and start your own demolition derby league.
October 18th, 2007 at 6:09 pm
3 grand…that’s quite a sum.
Can’t one buy a girlfriend for that much money?
Not a hooker, but a bone fide 24/7 girlfriend who will walk everywhere with one, admit (albeit with a slight embarrassment) in front of acquaintances to being a couple etc.
Not to mention a lot of sex.
There’s a French word for it, but damned if I know how to spell it.
October 18th, 2007 at 6:16 pm
I think I have to be the douche that talks about how awesome Spore is going to be. Isn’t it going to be AWESOME?! I try and not get too pumped by the hype machine, but at least with Spore they’re making a paradigmatic shift in the gameplay itself. I am excited no end. Crysis on the other hand looks like another pretty thing that, as an ex-hardcore gamer who is busy a lot of the time, isn’t worth my money.
October 18th, 2007 at 6:17 pm
Well, damn. I can honestly say that that’s some of the best parallax occlusion mapping I’ve ever seen.
October 18th, 2007 at 7:18 pm
David Wong is the best!
October 18th, 2007 at 10:15 pm
That’s a good article, and you make a great point, but I can’t help not agreeing with you. First, I consider anyone who buys gaming PC’s from Dell an idiot, unless they have a fuckton of money to waste. They pretty much take the cost of the components, and double it. Second, you saying “Sure, you may meet the first two requirements, if you just bought your computer in the last couple of months.” doesn’t seem true either. My computer is over a year old, and it cost me just over $1500, from Dell. (Yes, I was an idiot back then.) It currently surpasses the first reccommended requirement, and meets the second. I have to concede to you on the video card, though. I have a 7800, and I won’t be able to go up to an 8800 any time soon. Still, I’m happy playing Crysis on not quite reccommended settings, I think I’ll be fine. Also, I do agree with you that PC gaming is too expensive, but it’s getting cheaper all the time. Until then, I guess it’ll be just us elitists with beastly machines. Sorry.
October 19th, 2007 at 12:32 am
Build a solid system and it will do anything. Your console will play the dumbed-down one-track games that they’re know for while you get not only the pricey blockbusters on the PC, but also the fucking infinite number of flash games and abandonware.
October 19th, 2007 at 1:32 am
I thought of Crysis as just an interactive tech demo myself until seeing the latest gameplay footage. Now it actually looks pretty cool to me, I could give a rat’s ass about the graphics.
October 19th, 2007 at 2:58 am
This is why this comment section has to go. I read a perfectly good comedy article, which I accept as purely as the comediec observations of a writer who is widely agreed to be a funny guy, then, just when I’m cheered up enough to go to work, I get a load of pedants flexing their geek muscles at each other. Instead of reading this article and going ‘haha, flame thrower arms. That Wong is crazy’ you pople feel the obsessive need to show that, actually, you know a lot about computers. Its not even just this article, the same thing happened with the steriod article and the starwars article, the comments were just filled with depressing nerds trying to prove they knew more than the writer. Get rid of the comments, please! Or at least move ‘em somewhere where they’re not right in your face. Its seriously harming my enjoyment of this site.
October 19th, 2007 at 5:39 am
Real world observations, delivered in a comedic way, are not supposed to be discussed or incite discussion if the writer is known to be a comedic writer (nevermind the rather serious notions in much of his work lately)?
So the next time Dave tries to get a donation run going for some catastrophe or disease, we’re all supposed to laugh in his face, cuz of waht a funnzy guy he is LOLZ A+++++++++ ?
Will do.
October 19th, 2007 at 6:23 am
Look.
It’s slightly prettier than HL: episode 2. You can break houses with tanks and kill plants with machine guns. And thats it. This isn’t “next gen”. This looks like battlefield 2 wrapped in prettier wrapping.
Now, add realistic aliens trying to feed on your and/or a thousand zombies, and you have a fine game.
October 19th, 2007 at 7:38 am
Probably the 1000th person to mention this… but although you make a good point, you use a pretty crap analogy to get it across.
Take this sentence for example: Now, if you’re not currently a gamer and you’d like to get in on the Crysis action from scratch, a new computer that can run it (according to the Dell website) will cost $2,639
Two sentences later, is this: But, even if you’re REALLY into gaming, isn’t that starting to stretch your fun-per-dollar pretty thin? It seems you could do a lot more with three grand. Just off the top of my head, you could:
Why would someone who ISN’T REALLY INTO GAMING need to spend $2639 on a brand new computer? Wouldn’t they just need to buy a DX10 graphics card for $400USD (or less by the time the game is out), assuming that their current PC can play games out at the moment.
Also, if you did buy a graphics card, or that pc, it gives you the ability to play any game, current or old, plus many future titles for the PC. Clue: there are MANY more games on the PC than there are on the 360, ps3, or Wii.
You’re losing it Wong. PWOT Wong > Cracked Wong…
October 19th, 2007 at 9:19 am
Now everyone take a nice deep breath and let it out slowly. This is starting to become a flame war that have been done and re-done on so many other servers.
As stated several times before, this is a comedic article; not a descriptive essay on the state of video games today. I’d love to write a large, long winded essay on this myself; blabbing about PC vs Console games/gamers. But as I said: epenis, flame wars are not what I wanted to do before I start to work.
So, I’ll just add on to this and state the one thing that I don’t think that I saw on this entire posting (though correct me if I’m wrong). Those clips and screen shots are DX10. Most users still have XP as there were so many problems (and continue to be) with the Vista drivers. Give it a year and Vista will clean itself out; just like XP did when it first went live. But by then, there were be several games out or coming out, that look just as great as Crysis. And maybe, just maybe, they may have a story and entertainment value to it that seems so rare in video games today.
October 19th, 2007 at 9:54 am
I’ve been a regular reader of Wong and PWOT for a few years now, and I think a lot of you missed the point. The article is a comedy article, not necessarily a technological debate about the virtues of PC gaming, as such I have a couple of things to point out. First, I have to say as a videogame developer, Wong is right. Second, flamethrower arms would rock, but I would totally have to go with the therapist idea - the look on the doctor’s face would be priceless.
October 19th, 2007 at 12:33 pm
Ha ha, flamethrower arms! What will this guy come up with next?
XD LOL ROFLMAO IOFHBIUDSHGFHIUDSFEWBFEGIUYFGDGF!!!11!!ONE!!!
COMEDY articles LIKE THIS make my day!
October 19th, 2007 at 11:35 pm
I love you, David Wong.
October 20th, 2007 at 2:11 am
This game won me over when I saw “breakable vegetable system” and “advanced rope physics”. I’ve been waiting for those features for fucking years! Instead, game developers have just been wasting my time coming up with more advanced AI and clever story lines - just so you’ll have to buy the latest hardware.
All I can say is, I’m hooked. Where’s my checkbook?
October 21st, 2007 at 12:32 am
Screw the new PC hardware!
Where is that shady doctor?
I’m getting the flamethrower attached to my left shoulder … why LEFT? Ooh, never mind
October 21st, 2007 at 5:56 pm
I built a rig that can play oblivion on medium that was MAYBE $600. PNY Nvidia card (I think it’s a 7300 GT), I picked up for around $100. The motherboard to run it was the most expensive (+ the chip). If you do a little research, and wait a bit, you can run games fairly easily for not as expensive as some think.
If you have a micro center near you, they usually have at least one good deal per week. 750 Gb HD for $230, anyone? (and of course, the Pleasant Hill location in Georgia has their thumb drives for cheap. $18 for a 2 gb. Not bad.)
Dell just wants to overcharge you for their pcs. That, and our experience with them has never been good.
Also, the therapist idea was genius.
October 22nd, 2007 at 8:14 am
will everyone shut up about how “i built blah blah for under x price tag.” no one gives a shit. just read the article and enjoy the point: PC GAMING IS EXPENSIVE. anyone, hardcore or casual gamer, can admit this.
October 22nd, 2007 at 9:46 pm
faggots lol
October 23rd, 2007 at 2:03 am
And here I was thinking “Gee, I sure do wish I could get Half-Life 2 to stop being so choppy!”
October 24th, 2007 at 6:11 pm
It’s amazing how much money people shell out for computers now-a-days.
Can’t wait to see computer prices in 5 years to play the ‘next-gen’ games!
October 24th, 2007 at 8:27 pm
Woah - you got a tricked out El Camino?
DUUUUUUDE!!!!
October 26th, 2007 at 10:26 am
I have 2 computers that exceed those requirements, I’m what one might call a techie. Just built my second gaming rig, with a hefty price tag of 4489.02€ (6393,26$) with a 27 inch Full HD lcd-monitor. Every component was bought at the lowest price possible, so it could have been a lot more expensive. It’s completely water cooled, so it’ll beat the shit out of Crysis. And the “next big thing”, too.
October 26th, 2007 at 11:23 am
A system with the recommended specs can be built for less than $800, ordering the parts from Newegg. Just throwin’ that out there.
October 31st, 2007 at 2:10 pm
If you’re stupid and lazy enough to go through a reseller like Dell, you deserve to be fleeced for almost $3,000. Any regular Joe PC user knows you can buy the parts yourself and build a system for 1/3 to 1/2 that price, including an LCD.
Someone doesn’t surf online retailers much, eh?
November 2nd, 2007 at 4:44 am
New Games Guide…
I couldn’t understand some parts of this article, but it sounds interesting…
November 5th, 2007 at 3:51 pm
I enjoy the comedy, but it loses it’s flavor when I see something blatently retarded like a gaming PC for $2800. Flamethrower arm = funny as hell; way over exagerated pricing for a gameing PC = annoying (at least to those that work with computers all the time and know prices).
I got a 3.2 Ghtz AMD duel core, ASUS motherboard, duel 256MB ATI video cards crossfired, 4 gigs RAM, 20 inch viewsonic LCD monitor, 750 watt thermatake power source, DVD-burner drive, case (4 fans and all blue glow and stuff… forget the brand name), 80gig hard drive (for OS), 400 gig hard drive (storage and games), 5.1 logitech surround sound system, and Windows Vista Ultimate for $1950 including shipping from newegg.com about 2 months ago. Surround sound system wasn’t from newegg. I got that at BestBuy.
If I had stripped my old computer for the monitor, RAM, spreakers, and OS I could have built this machine at about $1200. I use computers about 14-16 hours a day between work and home, so it’s well worth the cost to have a beefed up computer. And, I don’t need to worry about the RRD (Red Ring of Death). Five friends so far have gotten it and counting.
November 6th, 2007 at 9:34 am
^Nah, instead we have the blue screen of death. Well, atleast it doesnt spell out the machines coming doom.
November 6th, 2007 at 1:14 pm
Eh. My new comp has been running for 2 1/2 months now with no restart (not including a couple required restarts from installs and when the power went out… my appartment complex seems to lose power whenever it rains). My old computer ran the entire school year without a restart… literally, from September to May it never shutdown or restarted.
If you know how to take care of your computer you can avoid the BSD. And, like you said at least you can just restart and it’s fine. RRD is just a fried $500 paper weight who’s best games are on PC anyways: Halo, Halo 2, Fable, Bioshock… Halo 3 will be on PC eventually as well. Plus, 5 friends and counting? My friends usually call me when they need help with a computer… I sure haven’t had to fix 5 computers in the time since RRD started.
November 8th, 2007 at 12:13 pm
I got a $2700 LAPTOP from school, its designed for computer rendering… can play that easy!
(4 gigs ram, top of the line video card, dual 3.3 processors)… no sweat. cant wait to download it for free!
November 10th, 2007 at 2:05 pm
This article is retarded, I could totally build a woman to have sex with me for $700. Do your homework, OK?
This article is here to prove the point that PC gaming is expensive. Was it ever stated that $2800 is the minimum you would need to spend to play this game? If it was, I didn’t see it. I know you were all just waiting for a chance to talk about how great you are at building a top-of-the-line computer on a budget, but nothing could be further from the point. Say if it was, translate all the time it would take you to find the lowest prices on all these parts and then build the computer when they eventually arrive (delivery companies rarely deliver the correct equipment the first… or second… time, and little to none of the equipment can be found in stores) into money you could be making in that time. Even making minimum wage, you’re looking at about $600 before taxes. Don’t even try to say that it’s a quick and relatively easy process. I’m going through it right now, and nothing could be further from the truth. And by the time all your equipment finally arrives, usually 3 or 4 months later, most of it is about half the price it was when you originally ordered it. Think of the money the Dell has saved you on countless valium you’d need to take just to not eviscerate every UPS worker that you pass by.
You built a computer that meets these specs for $1800? Congratulations. You just disproved the point that getting a rig to play this game would be expensive. Dicktits.
November 10th, 2007 at 3:14 pm
I don’t know what it will take to raise that sort of money in anything resembling good time, but I don’t care. I, for one, am prepared to do whatever is necessary to get this game and a computer that can run it.
FFS, you are, for all intents and purposes, a Spartan with more armor features and a metric fuckton of weapons against Kim Jong Il’s Commie Hordes and what can only be a legion of Xeno oppressors just ready to be eviscerated in every horrible way you can come up with.
In the course of doing this, you can blow the everloving shit out of anyone, anything and everything you see, not for any specific righteous/holy reason, but simply because you want to. Because you WANT to.
I foresee the next great step for Asshole Physics, and that step is Crysis. Hallelujah.
November 20th, 2007 at 5:14 am
Going on holiday on the Internet? Great place. Got some guidebooks you can borrow. You’ll have a ball. Oh, just one thing — for the love of God, when you’re there, whatever you do, DON’T READ THE COMMENTS.
November 28th, 2007 at 10:56 pm
Dude, thanks, you make me feel reeeaaaaaal good, haha, I have a 2.6Ghz, amdx4 with 4gb of ram and an Nvidia 8800 geforce ultra, now I feel special. Ah well, i’m so doing that paranoia thing with the psychiatrist.
December 6th, 2007 at 5:14 am
guys, for a decent hdtv, you are paying that much anyway, plus console. and you have steam on computers, cheaper games. and KEYBOARDS. keyboards are fun. and try to avoid taking dell prices as law.
December 13th, 2007 at 10:57 pm
i built a computer for $720 (from newegg) and it runs the game full everything on 1280×960 (havent bought a lcd yet)
havent tried dx10, but my friend says it runs just fine with same card as i got, and he got 4000Athlon , i got 4600
my only gripe with this game, is it seems enemies take WAAYYY too many shots to take down, its really annoying (maybe its cause im playing on “Delta mode”??) but i really like playing games highest difficulty…. but man… they take too many shots…
December 13th, 2007 at 11:02 pm
sry for dbl post but:
for $720 i got:
AMD athlon 4600
ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe mobo
2 gigs OCZ RAM
Evga 8800 320Mb “superclocked” (came with free quake wars too! cha-ching!)
WD 160Gb hard drive
cheap basic appearance case, but its real nice, sturdy, with temp display & front usb/headphones/mic jacks
December 27th, 2007 at 7:53 pm
I got amd 6000+ 3.0ghz duel core, 8800 ultra, 3gb ram, windows xp, 750watt psu, and 320gb hard drive and can run crysis max at 1920×1200 no problem only cost $1300. Lol Dell sucks lol $2800 lol.~!
January 4th, 2008 at 7:19 am
ok people here is the minimum well i think anyways…
my laptop:
amd dual core turion64 x2 tl-52 (2x 512kb l2 cache)

2gig ram
my laptop also has 420p high defenition video and high def audio
this doesnt run the game on FULL but it does still run it with pretty good graphics cut scenes are alittle slow with the talking and the mouth movement… but who cares?… im playing for the story… the game play is VERY smooth… the only lag i had was in the ship yard because of the massive AI… alittle in the end to but all in all i play’d it with hardly any problems… love the game not the ending… but i guess that keaves them room for a second one
