I think some people in the minority might have trouble with the game. I havent had much trouble, ive run it on my work laptop which is some pretty crap HP and my gaming rig at home runs it fine. I think you just unlucky to have a config that is uncompatible.
I think its one of the better ports weve had in recent memory.
It's not a bad port at all as far as the technical side goes but 'not bad' doesn't mean that there isn't room for improvement. And unlucky in this day and age means either one of two thing: you're playing with a PC that is old and needs upgraded and in this case if you complain about the game not working on your computer you probably deserve a nine-iron embedded in your skull, and people with combinations of new hardware that are untested - or in some cases - should have been tested but there was a lack of quality assurance.
Now, whilst the former happens with every game and it grows tiresome to the point that people have knee-jerk reactions to people complaining about configuration as having clearly insufficient systems. This is even less helpful than the people whom do have aged computers complaining. I realise people don't like me speaking in this way sometimes, but an iota of common sense (not quite as common as inferred) is neccesary. Until and unless you have system specs it's unhelpful to just go 'lol works for me u must have old computer'. In fact I would go so far as to say that it is probably the kind of internet idiocy that really should get people added to some sort of depopulation list along with the people who do idiotic stunts and the kids who eat lead paint or sniff glue.
I realise that I raise Mass Effect 2 as an example in my posts a lot but this is for a reason. Any degree of quality assurance on the PC would have revealed that many systems could not play past the introduction because of a bug that causes the game to think you're not 'looking' at usable items and thereby cannot use them, causing the player to conveniently not be able to get the gun out of the locker in the first scene or use the door to get out. There really has been a certain laxity to quality assurance in games lately. In the last decade even we have seen more and more buggy releases. Its certainly not a new phenonemon but it is a problem - a legitimate problem that people need to pay more attention to, and demand more done about, or it will persist.
It's clearly evident from this thread that while there are some people who have inferior configurations whose complaints can then be legitimately discarded, there are some people who have the requirements or superior to the requirements who still experience trouble and thereby have completely legitimate complaints.
