My friend still brags to me about buying the newest top tier Ti graphics card every other year and his water cooling setup, while also saying he can't afford to move out of his parent's house at 30. I spent like $400 on my graphics card, which maxes out basically every game I play. You only need high specs for the very uninspired generic triple A games that get copy and pasted every year. I'm loving Balder's Gate 3 right now without a million dollar rig.
Just want to point out that Baldurs Gate is also a triple A game, they have 400+ people working on it. There are also many amazing triple A games out there, like Cyberpunk
Budget wise it is. There's definitely great triple A games that come out that are an exception from the Far Crys and Call of Dutys. I was at least able to beat Cyberpunk on my budget with medium settings. But as a consumer, stuff like ray tracing is just a gimmick that adds absolutely nothing for me lol. It's just something people use to justify outrageous purchases imo.
is cyberpunk really that good now? I'm scarred after the botched launch
Yea it's great, the game has been stable for a long time now and the latest DLC is the cherry on top
2.0 release alone is worth it, sunk another 40 hours in recently. Id say thats a fair value for my dollar, x years later.
Didn't Baldur's Gate ship incomplete? Like a lot of stuff is obviously missing from the third act.
I'll stick with my indies. Hedon is great, long and would run on two potatoes.
I'm in the third act right now and have been there for like 30 hours with a ton left to do. It's absolutely not incomplete lol.
Act 3 felt fine to me. I didn't notice any quests or zones that felt incomplete yet alone obviously incomplete.
People datamined BG3 and found cut dialog, implying quests that never happened.
Every game has those.
Developers add something that they think will work, then it doesn't work, so they just disable the content.
That wasn't cut content, the trigger for them was glitched so they didn't go off. This was addressed and fixed in like patch one or two, which was awhile ago.
Not at all. It was in early access for like 3 years. They finished the game.
Also, for all intents and purposes, BG3 is an indie. It's self published by Larian.
Yeah I upgrade when I need it to run a game I want to play. Recently broke 8 gigs of ram several decades after I should’ve
Now u can run 2 chrome tabs
sure, but you could also do one better and uninstall chrome
Ew chrome
use firefox
it even comes with a free 🐈
To be fair if they were spending a little less on a less expensive graphics card they probably still couldn't afford to move out but they might have a bit of a nest egg to buy groceries or something in case shit gets even worse.
