Wrong; you don't meet the recommended specs and barely meet the minimum specs. You shouldn't have bothered to buy this on an outdated system, regardless of the engine, so stop whining about it:

The recommended is barely any better than mine.

2.7ghz cpu vs 3.0ghz.

They should not even have the minimum requirements then.

Why should I have not bothered to buy it when it says I could run it and it is a console game.

The console cpus are much weaker.

My system can play most games near max or max settings.

Are you saying a computer that is around 3 times the power of a console shouldn't be able to run a console game?
