I have no idea if I can run this game

[Mazawrath]

I was horrified when I saw this on Can I Run It.

But it looks like I MIGHT just be able to run it.
If I remember right, Windows 8 basic for whatever reason takes .3 RAM but doesn't even use it, geting a more expensive version gives back the RAM. Am I right?
So in your opinion, can I?

That app is simply wrong about the video card. But the memory is an issue, some of the 3.6gb yu have will be taken away by the video, get more if you can.

Indeed the part about ram, especially if you intend to play on 1080p (full hd).¨
You could try at lower res or use the dynamical resolution mod for more granular control http://steamcommunity.com/app/255710/discussions/0/610574394240109159

Adding on what Andrew says, you're going to have problem with bigger cities.

The problem is that your Graphics Card doesn't have VRAM of its own (common on laptops) instead it takes what it needs (and is allowed) from the main memory.

For gaming purposes I can only recommend you get an additional stick of 4GB RAM (If there's room for two and you only use one) or a single 8GB longterm.

Your machine will run the game as I mentioned earlier - But it will have problems as you go on with the game.

Well, thanks everyone for the responses. I'll just wait to get a more powerful computer AND at the same time get it cheaper.
