In my experience, "minimum requirements" means that your PC will probably be able to run the game but will also look like crap. The point of having a gaming PC is to play the best version of the game in the highest settings possible after all.

I did. I just don't see the point in comparing hardware in completely different price ranges. It's like comparing an Audi A6 with the latest Aston Martin...

I'm looking at the chart and it looks like they're comparing a +$1000 video card with a $400 PS4, and I'm not sure why.

In my experience "minimum requirements" means that the game will look like crap and be barely playable. What's the point of having a gaming PC if you can't play the best version of the game in the highest settings possible?

I quoted the recommended system specs not the minimum.

I'm looking at the system requirements for Skyrim PC:

The biggest argument against PC gaming is that it costs a ton of money, and this is absolute bull. You don't need to buy the latest parts and have a tricked-out, $2000 gaming machine. Even a lower midrange graphics card can get you better graphics than a console, especially as you get later into a console's lifespan.…

Not sure if I should feel relieved or not...

Are you saying I still won't be able to take a relaxing shower once my kids are 18?

I was thinking more in terms of the device "knowing" that Tom, Pablo and Ken each speaks a couple of languages and being able to determine which on the fly.

I believe that it's a fairly common scenario for the 250+ millions of people who live in a country that is not their home country; definitely more than "just a handful." But I'm not faulting Microsoft for this; Siri and Google Now are not better in that regard. On a side humorous note, they're also all pretty bad at…

Did I imply in my post that Apple invented tablets, smartphones or media players? Of course they didn't. What they did however, was to be the first major company to release a smartphone and a tablet that works extremely well, and lead the way to new markets. They're not inventors, they're masters of implementation.…

The Xbox One won't be available in Japan for at least a few months, so no I can't check if the system is able to understand multiple languages simultaneously; however based on many other posts in this thread this will probably not be technically possible for at least a decade or so.

Yes but it doesn't support multiple languages simultaneously which makes voice control useless in any multilingual environment; Siri and Google Now have the same shortcomings, but one can only hope.

For keyboards at least, touchscreen based devices like the iPad make it really quick and easy to switch between languages. Obviously, voice recognition is a lot more complex than that.

I'm sort of optimistic that I'll see that happen in my lifetime. In the meantime, I just hope that voice control doesn't become the default or the only option on newer gadgets.

And I understand that, but there's hundreds of millions of people out there who speak several languages and/or live in a country and language different from their own/phone's language, which basically renders voice controls useless. It's clear that it'll take a while before the technology is able to catch up.

I know that Google Now can support a whole bunch of languages, individually. However you need to switch the language settings for a specific language; Google Now (or any of the other services) doesn't work if you have -for example- 3 people each speaking a different language.

I don't think you understand what I said. Kinect supports 7 languages, Siri 9 and Google Now supports a lot more. However, none of them work when people speak more than one of the supported languages; only the one set by default will be recognized.
