ok, i downloaded the demo using STEAM. when it finished downloading and the first time i played it it froze several times on the loading screen without even showing the trailer yet. when i finally got to play it, it was real laggy on medium quality even the trailer was laggy. my question is that my computer was suppose to play it pretty smoothly and was above the recommended requirements, tell me what is wrong with this?!?!

I know its just the demo and it has alot of bugs and all but I just want to be sure that my computer can play the full game smoothly atleast on medium quality with little or no lag at all. :D

Sound like problems with CPU scheduling. Close your anti-virus and try it again.

I am not experienced with Steam, but could it be that because it is launched from Steam without actually installing, it has to unpack the files first then plays? (Which explains the really slow launch)

I am guessing what I noticed is similar to yours eKKstRa, though I obviously not getting the ingame lag.

If steam is the problem I would say d/c and try steam in offline mode with the demo. I'm not sure you can play the demo with steam in offline mode but if it's a firewall problem then that would solve it.

Single player games can all be played in offline mode steam.

As long as there is no need for internet connection, its fine.

The first game loading screen is terribly laggy, I don't know why that is.

I know it isn't the computer in my case though, running it problem free on Ultra setting once the game is up, it is just when first booting up, takes a good minute or so even to see the SEGA logo.
