I wonder what kind of rig you'll need to play this at a decent framerate with no texture pop in.  I'll give it another shot on the PC if I can do it.

Oh, so it is bullshots. Those are like what, 10% of the game? The rest is barren moonlands. Boring.

Interfaces alone made me go "wait for PC version!" when I played it despite it being everything I pretty much ever wanted from a game. I'm glad it is coming so soon.

I'm glad I waited.  Hopefully, high end PC power will be able to get rid of the performance issues that people complained about.

Then you should wait another 6 months for the PS3 version

At least on the PC it can be modded.

I'll double dip on this.  I will enjoy this game at GREATER THAN 1080P.
