How can you even remotely say that?

I could build a machine far more expensive than that and not be robbed by any stretch of the imagination ... you don't even know the specs...

My monitor cost more than that new... how do you know a monitor wasn't included?

All you people claiming that a $500-$600 Desktop will run this game on max settings with no issues MUST be smoking something.

I wish I was smoking something!

Because some of us would rather spend money on game systems? You know the ones that nowadays come with updates on the latest game that take two minutes to DL? The ones you don't have to replace parts on every three months to keep it running the latest games?

I have nothing against PC gamers,but dang,some of you guys have real elitist attitudes. Not all of us are turned on by having to buy and replace parts on a gaming machine all the time. The thought alone gives me a headache.

A laptop in my house that would be worth about 400 now cannot run SWTOR as it's processor is too slow (as it clearly wasn't intended as a gaming machine).

At this moment in time, I cannot afford another computer.

Don't exaggerate.

"Edit: some people are neglecting the fact i said low FPS on LOW settings"
No they are not. They are responding to your title.
This sounds MUCH more realistic and very much in line with what I would expect.

OP , my resolution is 2560x1440.

Please link me any laptop under 1000 that will run it at max settings and never dip below 60fps.

Your 200-300 laptop will run it like crap at anything other than ultra low resolutions.

when you BUILD a machine you are not robbed.. You choose what you want to put in it and how much you would like to pay for it..

My machine cost around $2500-$2800 to build and I don't feel cheated

If you build it from scratch and shop intelligently, it is VERY possible. I've seen all the components listed out, and it'll run this game like butter.

I'm neither single, nor a Mother. I am also the sole earner in MY family. Both my parents are deceased. As for 'pointless expenses' I would have to disagree with you on that. Being as self sufficient as you can is never pointless.

You contradict yourself though. You obviously haven't spent all your money on your children, if you have spent $2500.00 on a gaming rig.

To be honest, you are NOT succeeding at life, if you were, you wouldn't be living with your parents, regardless of what excuses for it you make in your head. To succeed at life, one takes full responsibility for themselves, and their family, and supports them with and through their own efforts.

Something you don't do.

Sorry cupcake but.. you are still a child. You have adult responsibilities and refuse to step up to the plate and accept them. Until you do, you will always be a child.

Have a nice day. Cupcake.

Please list your spec.

Just the graphic card needed to run this game maxed out at 1080 cost $300+ before taxes
