Using a site called canyourunit I tested whether or not my laptop would be able to run a game, it said that I couldn't but the only requirement I didn't meet was my graphics card. So I'm wondering whether it would still run, but just poorer graphics? heres the details

It's difficult to tell precisely, but graphics cards are a major factor in games very often. You seem to have an integrated card, while the game requires an specialized one with certain specs. And minimum requirements aren't often that exact too, programs may run with something less they ask for, or some work bad even with more.

It really depends on how much graphics the game has. I would just install it (at least a demo) and try it out. Possibly it runs slow because of low system performance, but it may run anyway (whether it's acceptable or not is up to you). I don't really think that it just refuses to run at all, unless you have a really really bad machine. Many games have options for adjust visual aspects and graphical details too, if you lower those it may work much better, at the expense of quality.
