I seriously couldn't believe the crap I was reading, and this is the reply I left for xaxxiron777 in that topic:
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Lets get 2 things straight here xaxxiron777
First I want to clear this up
The fact that the game lists an ATi video card (Radeon HD 4200) as the minimum requirements, add insult to injury.
Now to clear this up for you xaxxiron777
Why do you get angry that people with an ATi video card complain that the game is not working properly on an ATi video card?
It's not their fault that the game doesn't work on their card.
It's not their fault that the game doesn't work on their card.
ATI CARDS ARE NOT MEANT TO BE USED FOR GAMING AT ALL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES the only reason ATI cards CAN be used for gaming is a convenience issue and so Nvida Cannot monopolize the market. ATI cards were initially meant for HD TV AND MOVIES, NOT GAMING. unfortunately ATI users never seem to grasp this concept and go to no end to say it's not true at all this other nonsense. A little research from factual sources will full go into detail about this. And I said Factual Research not 3rd party research, (Overclock.net and other random 3rd sites and forums DO NOT qualify as Factual Research as those are 3rd party aspects with Opinions that manipulate their information so that it looks like t's facts and legite when it's not which is why it's 3rd party.
I get pissed off because ATI users are apparently stupid. Every single complaint about graphical issues of this type and magnitude in games for the past 2 years all come from ATI users (Googling this actually backs that statement up, and proves this). In fact the only time I've ever seen Nvidia users complain is when their system/GPU cannot handle the game. ATI users Failure to grasp the concept that obviously if all the complaints of this type and magnitude are caused by the ATI card, and then having all the ATI card users try and blame the game/company is beyond annoying. LEARN TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELVES.
Yes it absolutely is their fault the games they choose to buy do not work for them properly and here is why.
Lets look at some facts shall we:
FACT #1: Almost every game that has been released for the past 2 years REQUIRE THE PHYSX ENGINE TO RUN PROPERLY Whether you can actually enable it in the menu or not doesn't change teh fact that it's still in the games programming code.
FACT #2: PhysX affect all parts of a game. It's FPS, texture loading, Calculations on falling objects and gravity, it affects every part of the game not just Specific functions as games have been lead to believe by idiots posting things on the net they do not know about misleading people with false information.
FACT #3: ATI cards cannot ever use the PhysX engine in a game. Sure there are work a rounds but it's simply not the same thing therefore will still not function properly regardless of what people say.
FACT #4: For at least the past 5-6 years Nvidia has been releasing their Software to disable the use of an ATI card to pick up the game and an Nvidia card to pick up the PhysX.\
FACT #5: As long as a game requires the PhysX engine to run you will never be able to max it out in graphics and or performance with an ATI card as only Nvidia can achieve that due to the PhysX aspect of it.
FACT #6: People run games on settings their comp cannot handle, then whine about having graphical issues
FACT #7: People say things like "Well I can run this game no problems and this game demands more resources to run so i should be able to run this game no problem as well" While in theory that SHOULD work, it usually doesn't work that way as each game is different so comparing one to another is [censored].
FACT #8: All gamers know that games require the PhysX engine to run properly and if they don't then they shouldn't be gaming on a PC at all.
FACT #9: People go to no end to deny the above 5 FACTS with crap and false information.
Take all those facts and you come up with this end result (And if after reading all that you still want to argue invalid points, or whatever that is on you) but the bottom line is this:
Gamers that own ATI cards continue to stick with ATI cards full well knowing all the above information. So yes it is 100% their fault they use something and continue to use something they full well know cannot run games properly. So how the hell can you seriously sit there and try to say it's not their fault xaxxiron777?
I'm sorry but you saying it's not their fault is exactly like me knowing all the problems with an ATI card can give a game, knowing it cannot use the PhysX engine, then yet still going out and getting an ATI card then when the game doesn't run properly and I have problems with it, I come to a forum to piss and moan about how the game doesn't run right. I would have no one to blame but myself.
So yes I am going to get all pissy at people who cause their own problems, take absolutely no responsibility on their end because they use things that will not run things properly, then have the testicular fortitude to blame the game/company for their idiotic decisions.
