I suspect if you have a half decent PC you'll be fine.

 

As an aside, who knew how many Portuguese people live near me? As it turns out, bloody thousands! Absolute chaos outside.

Well I hope it runs ok on my relatively old hodgepodge machine.

Frostbite shines on the PC. If they've done their work well it should be fine. A bigger issue is the UI, M&K support etc.

LOL,

 

All profession must strive for perfection. Unless, you are OK with Surgeons making mistakes or bridge engineers making load bearing calculations errors or airport refueling mechanics making a mistake by using metric loading calculations instead of Imperial and having the plane run short on fuel while flying from one end of the country to the other.

 

'Ok' is irrelevant- the fact that those things happen, regularly enough that they're expected rather than unfathomable, is. Surgeons and doctors do make mistakes- which is why there are statistically significant numbers of mis-diagnosis and re-corrective surguries. Metric vs imperial conversion failures do occur, which is why we splattered mars. Professionals strive for perfection- but no one actually expects it, even in the relatively simple things, and especially in the things where bugs and teething issues are expected. Part of being a professional is balancing costs- and that means accepting imperfection in pursuit of other priorities. Like deadlines, and release.

 

Software is not simple, nor particularly serious in this case. Software development is notoriously buggy- and every professional developer has to weigh a cost-balance of when to stop looking for bugs that consumers are always going to have an advantage at finding. For every man hour a developer spends searching for bugs, ten thousand consumers will have ten thousand man-hours to actually find them. Show me the software that never had any bugs, and I'll show you something that never made it to the market and is still under development.

 

Professionals aren't perfect, and serious people  don't expect them to be. We expect them not to make catastrophic mistakes- and quite frankly, most computer glitches aren't.

If the game doesn't run very well, you probably need a better PC. That's why they have minimum, recommended, and optimal system requirements for games. If your PC doesn't meet even the minimum requirements, it's not the game's fault it runs poorly.

Eh, its not really that simple. It ran OK for me on a PC that's flirting with the minimum requirements, but it gave some people with notably better PCs problems.

Right, and the system requirements are always pretty vague.  DAI's recommended CPU spec says something to the effect of "Intel quad core at 3Ghz."  Maybe they could have ballparked a generation since that could describe a Haswell or a Yorkfield.

What if it runs like a great ass?

How does the ass taste is the question?

Like Quarian sweat?

Or does Quarian sweat taste like ass?

I'd go so far as to say that in the right hands, it might even taste like mighty fine ass.

Wow. This is the first post by Dutch that I've ever agreed with.
