Why do we need the patch?

[SEE]

It's been a while since I owned a PC but most of the budget PC's will have adequate RAM and Processor speeds but may not be well suited to be upgraded or have adequate graphics chipsets. The fly in the ointment for me has always been the Graphics card. Every time a new and better game comes out you can bet its written for optimum performance using a later Graphics card of a particular type and you end up having to continually replace it or download some sort of bloody 'Patch' (that word again!...) or 'driver'. That's why I bought a console, all games are coded for the same graphics chipset. Best to check the recommended spec for the game you want and make sure your PC meets it or can be upgraded to meet it. Should be fine for 6 months........(eternal pessemist me!) which is why I bought a console...........no worries about 'drivers' and 'patches' or games that don't work........oops! ......I'm out of here before I get shot and dismembered....
