Who else is playin ? Are you playing online , or not? How do you like it, and how well does your system handle it. Or how well are you configuring your system to optimize the game.

 Myself I am playing offline for now, on my macbook pro, I (as always) create a profile that is strictly for gaming. All but system essential processes are killed, as well as the desktop. No antivirus software is installed anyway lol The only software on this system for tweaking is the nVidia control panel, in which is not active during gameplay.

 I don't run the game in full screen mode, so I can get higher resolutions, < go figure.
 Video / Advanced settings are set to high, then adjusted accordingly to retain max FPS.
 What gets my system is the anti aliasing, (as usual lol) what makes the graphics really pop, has to be turned off on this system (in my sig).

I'm obviously running bootcamp, and therefore the only BIOS is emulated, The videocard owns 256 MB, but Windows detects it as 512MB, therefore the game auto detects incorrectly, since shadows must be on high , or the textures are simply not present.

 I have not had this game crash other than on auto save after completing an area, core was unbelievable, but it took me two days of playing to figure out what I already knew.

 You must defrag the drive after every set of play, this game above all others I have played  trashes your file organization severely.

My ratings are 10+ on the basis of graphics, as well as plot, and immersion. I haven't completed the game yet, I am currently in " paradise Lost"  , finished a couple times, but to have the game crash on save. So I'll update later.
