I see some of the comments and think its sad that for me and many others the specs required will mean yet another pc costing £1500 - £2000. As this is an ever increasing spiral you are almost forced to cheaper consoles, I am the only one among friends still playing on a pc, they laugh at me. The sheer size of new releases in hard drive capacity, and video cards in particular are staggering if you look back only five years. If this carries on, and it will, you may need a new pc every year.
It is the first in the series I have never owned, or played, which should be a warning sign to all that the end may be in sight for pc gaming for the mass market. I plan to reluctantly upgrade my computer with the end of support for my beloved windows 7, so like J3st3r hope that prices will fall by then.
It may be great but I too can't afford it, and I'm not a poor man.
