Sorry, I was referring to the specs being low, not the price. Sorry for any confusion.
I wasn't correcting you, just stating I think the price is high. specs are ok

As of this evening I have discovered two of the coolest things I have ever done in a video game.
1. POISING A GUARD- Watching him flail around in agony then slowly die hacking and writhing on the dirty Florencian cobblestones, while a crowd watches in horror, officially beats lighting someone on fire in Deus Ex. Which I thought would never get topped.
2. KICKING ASS WITH A BROOM- Imagine my delight when I learned you COULD pick up weapons that others have dropped and use them. Imagine my interest when I saw a broom discarded by a servant. Imagine my utter glee when I could actually pick it up and BEAT the LIVING SHIT outta some guards with it. Sweeping the floor indeed.

After hours spent searching for glyphs, not to mention figuring out the damn puzzles, I finally unlocked THE TRUTH!!!!
What the hell was I supposed to learn exactly? Now I'm just more confused. I beat the main game which provided very little answers and am now trudging through sequence 12 "The Battle of Forli" which doesn't seem like it's going to answer much either.
Any theories/revelations for me TTLG?

Still waiting for AC2 on PC, getting impatient:erg:. Especially with all the good things I've been hearing about it.

Yeah it sucks it got pushed back I'm sure, but on the same token it'll probably be a better game for it. (That is, they used the extra time to polish it off for PC.)

More like extra time to polish their always on DRM solution. I would cancel my pre-order if I didn't love the first game as much as I did, but it will probably be the last Ubisoft that I'll be bothering with on PC though, so I'll just grin and bear with it this time around (if it's there). But hopefully this game is early enough to have missed out on their new DRM solution completely, I fear that it maybe a different situation for Splinter Cell 5: Convinction though since that was recently delayed again.
At least it comes with all of the DLC for free.

Can you enlighten me about this DRM you speak of?
In any case, that's just how it will be with PC gaming. I'm not gonna let that stop me from playing games though. Why should I be stubborn and miss out on a potentially good game?

With this scheme your saves are exclusively stored on a Cloud server; always on internet is required, there's no offline mode. If your net drops out, the game pauses.
There's a high probability that AC2 won't be using it though, since it's been in development for a while.

Didn't realize it wasn't out on PC yet...that sucks!
It's definitely worth the wait! All the repetitiveness of the first is gone, the plot is well-paced and exciting...I can't accolade this game enough. Everything good is there and nothing bad was kept. Way way way better than the first.

You have got to be kidding. My god...
Taken from that gamespy article:

We asked about the potential backlash to this authentication platform requiring an Internet connection. "We think most people are going to be fine with it. Most people are always connected to an Internet connection," Wilkinson replied.
Yes, but then imagine that your internet connection goes out for a few days for whatever reason. Then you are f*#ked...
