Age of Conan

ok so I just got a brand new computer spent a good chunk of change on it too. Well I decided that I'd try this game out so I buy the game. it installs just fine no problems. then I go to start it and it wont start because it cant innitialize the subsystem rendering. so I follow what the website said to do still didnt work.

SO here I sit wasteing 48 bucks and my precious time on a expensive drink coaster which it will soon become. The fact that after spending my money on a bradn new pc I am told I am still way below standard. hey I got an idea SCREW THIS GAME . I'd never sugjest playing a game where you have to be rich or have momy and daddys credit card to buy a 9 thousand dollar pc to run one dam game. total bs, and alread I can hear the spoiled little children telling me how I wasted my money on a pc...wel fit this in your head atleast I bought my pc with my money that I earnd at my JOB. so untill someone can explain to me why I sit here tired as hell after working a a night shift trying to try out a game I cant run unless I buy a 1,500$ graphics card. God I'll just play CoH/CoV and be done with it atleast it will run for me.

The sad thing is that you didn't even play the game.  Try not feeling ripped off when you bought the game expecting everything they put on the box/advertised/boasted their game would contain just to find out that none of it would be implimented at launch.  If its only been a few nights, I'd take the game back to wherever you got it and plead with the manager to give you your money back.  Prolly won't work but its worth the shot, those AoC cds aren't even worth being called coasters or ninja frisbies.

its not so much that its only been about 4 hours since I bought it so I could take it back but the thing is I wanted to play it  granted my factory graphics system is wierd even for me cause its a intel integrated pc so I have no clue I'd use my old nvidea but I'm sure it wont work either and it was dieing which was why I got this new pc. whats frustrateing is that even after going thru the trouble of buying this new machine I still cant play the game I mean come on tell me thats not some fragernaukle bs.

The word 'integrated' right there is going to net you a world of hurt, in most games these days.

For what it's worth, regardless of the problems that AoC does have, it's your own responsibility to know what the system requirements are, and whether or not you actually meet them.

What can you say other than, "buy an xbox or ps3"?

Let me guess, you wasted $1,500 on a PoS prebuilt machine with integrated graphics. Awesome!

{mod edit}

8800 GT is around 150-250 dollars, it can run the game.

  I'm going to parrot the poster that told you how BAD integrated cards are.

  I don't care HOW new your PC is...unless you bought it from Alienware (in which case, you just spent 8000$ on a 1000$ rig), the integrated card is barely able to cope with games like WoW...let alone a high end game like AoC.  You would literally need to buy a card and install it...it would need to be PCI-e and probably sport a minimum of 256, preferably 512, before you could run the monster.

  AoC didn't rip you off...you just learned a very important lesson about using a PC.  Anyone that lays a hand on one needs at LEAST a minimum amount of tech savvy.   I would deeply suggest (no flame here, its very important you understand this) searching the web for information about hardware elements in your PC, and learn what motherboard you have and what type of ports are on it.
