I bought my Lenovo PC for $150 on craigslist, plus $50 on an improved graphics card. Works great and I definitely don't need a console or high-end PC, though I don't play nu vidya and am not a gamer.

>>717442728
im just saying its stuff like gameplay and story and music that makes me care about a game not how good it looks. Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask are more memorable and engaging than BOTW and TOTK to me. Same with Metal Gear solid 1,2 and 3 vs Metal Gear Solid V or Resident Evil 1,2,3 and 4 vs 7 and Village.

You need to update your jokes. Just try and get the bottom to run at 4K. If you can achieve it the devs will want to hire you. Native is verboten, 100% scaling isn't 100% anymore, all pixels are temporally resolved and upscaled. This is the future we have been chosen to live in. You will pay more for less.

Praisimg Alan Wake 2 is like praising a polished turd. The gameplay and story are great but its terrible when it comes to optimization and looks like blurry shit because if you dare turn up the graphics the fps is terrible even on the best gpus at the time.

This doesn't work. Spending the most you can possibly spend will never be forever, there will come a time where it can't run new releases at all anymore. Someone that spent the most they could spend back when the 980 was brand new now cannot run games at all. It will happen to your 5080 as well.

except it never will for two reasons
1. silicon has its limits
2. they will never let you own enterprise hardware or make games around it because it's not made for gaming
once you have a 5090 that's it, you won't ever need to buy another gpu again, unless you want the extra vram from the RTX 6000 blackwell card but that costs 10k so it's not really worth it unless you're some sort of ultimate gooner
hardware has hit its limits and devs will either have the option to learn how to program again and start optimizing or go bankrupt because noone wants to play their lazily thrown together trash

I like to play at 60fps at 1080p at the very least with ultra settings

Consoles, due to how unoptimized the games are nowadays, often go below this

I can brute force that with a 5090

also technically I'm self employed so the computer is considered an asset of the company and thus gets taken out of tax first. Every two years I get a brand new 6k machine taking out of tax I'd pay

>>717441476
I honestly like the top one more. Bottom is just for screen shots. But when actually playing the game, your focus needs to be on your task and not pulled away by shit like that puddle.

Which, by the way, is also less realistic than the top picture. Puddles aren't mirrors. They aren't perfectly flat glass. Water is in constantly motion from the slightest hint of a breeze or rain droplet. And the ripples would last for like 10 minutes before it calmed down completely. The top picture is more likely what you'd see.

I was thinking about getting death stranding 2, but then I found out it does not have m+kb support, which is fucking wild because the first game supports it. If a game requires me to shoot things I refuse to play it on a controller.

Just an example of a technical limitation creating a more visually pleasing style. Most of the time, absolute photorealism isn’t going to be the most aesthetic option.

Meanwhile my 12 year old can play basically every game from every console and I don't have to pay extra to play online. Oh and it's fully upgradable too. Lil consoletards don't understand.
