The Fallout Travesty

General
I realized I forgot to make a journal about this when it happened.
Basically, I bought Fallout 4 on Steam a few days after it came out. After like a 3 hour download, I excitedly went to open and play it. Well, basically as soon as I pressed "play" the game crashed. After trying several times and getting the same result, I did some research and discovered that Fallout 4 requires at least 8 gigs of RAM to run - and my computer only has 4. I didn't think my computer would have an issue running it considering it runs Skryim and Fallout New Vegas with no issue.
Well, I took my computer to the geek squad to find out if it had space for a RAM upgrade - turns out it can't handle any more. So much for being a fancy gaming computer.
So I guess I'm going to have to get a new computer at some point. I'm currently apartment hunting with my partner, and then FC is coming up, so it'll probably be a while before I can afford it. But I figured I'd just keep Fallout 4 in my Steam library, and when I eventually do get a new computer that way I can just download it again and play it then. But still, I'm sad :(

I didn't know it was straight up mandatory to have 8 gigs or else it wouldn't play AT ALL... thats real dumb :(
