Currently trying to refund the new Indiana Jones game because it's unplayable without raytracing 
. My card isn't even old, it's just 8GB of VRAM is the absolute minimum apparently so my mobile 3060 is now useless. I miss when I used to be able to play new games in 2014 on my shitty AMD card at 20fps, yeah it didn't look great but developers still included a very low graphics option for people like me. Now you need to be upgrading every 2 years to keep up.
that one is atrocious but another thing i also find nasty is the amount of disk space new games need. sure, buying more disks is way cheaper than getting more graphical power but downloading +100Gb for a game I might just play once feels like an incredible waste
games should have a lo-fi version where they use lower textures and less graphical features for the people that cannot actually see the difference in graphics after the ps2 era
Rainbow 6 Siege had to downgrade map assets because the skins take up too much space lol
Cosmetics is a wholly separate clown-show. Dota 2 used to be a few gigabytes in space. Now because of all the hats it's like 30gb compressed.
There's been a couple games I've decided to just not buy because the disk space requirement was too high. I don't think they care much about a single lost sale, unfortunately.
War Thunder (garbage game, don't play) does this. You can choose to download higher quality textures. I don't care, I haven't noticed the difference
The snail yearns for your money
Never. Always ftp
Same, I managed to get to BR 8.7 in the Soviet ground tree as a free-to-play, but I stopped making progress because the higher BR matches just aren't that fun so I stick around in 3.7-4.0 and gain like no research points, lol
Real. I have my first 8.0 in soviet, but its just a grind, no matter what br I play. 2.7 or so is my go to
war thunder bad?
Garbage game. Yet I continue to play
War thunder bad.
damn, I like my little russian planes
