Please tell me if it is capable of gaming and i'm just not doing it right (drivers missing or something.

And i apologize if this post is too long, i am just copy pasting because i do not really know what to do, i'm hoping to understand this in the future when i finish Uni and build my own gaming Desktop PC, right now i need to focus on my studies.

It runs League of Legends and Runescsape on ma really well, but when it comes to Battlefield 4, AC Unity and other hardcore requirements games it does not even run smooth at all in lowest, my previous laptop hp pavillion dv6 ran fc3 really well i3 processor and below 4 gb ram and graphics card 1 gb or less...

again sorry it's too long and thank you very much.

Should be ok in most games but you will have to lower your settings and resolution a bit. You should be okay in games older than 4 years or so but any new big games such as Battlefield 4 etc would need a lower resolution settings and low detail settings.

The GPU' drivers are not optimised for gaming either so this is why you are not getting good performance in BF4.
