This is pretty much why I'm not into the high end market other than financial reasons, it is simply wasted on me cause my casual gaming does not require that kind of hardware.Ĭurrently I feel very comfortable with my 1070 and if it doesn't die on me I plan on using it for a good while since it seems to be enough for the games I play or plan to play. 'and the card I bought even died on me after 1 year with no warranty left on it so well done young me' I did that mistake in the past, bought a new GPU only to go back and play the very same game I was playing just fine with my previous card. Yea that sounds about right and also what I'm trying to do when deciding on a upgrade.Īs long as my current given hardware is capable of playing the games I'm interested in and with settings/performance enough for my standards then there is no real point in upgrading/wasting money but yes sometimes its hard to resist. I have a friend like that and I just can't help it but feel bad for such a wasted hardware potential but ofc its not my money/decision I just simply wonder. That being said there is 1 thing that sometimes make me wonder and ask a similar question as Cvrk.įor example when ppl own a fairly high end system and all they do is play games that you can play on a Vega integrated like LoL/Rocket League and stuff like that and no they aint into benchmarking/work related things either or anything thats demanding on the system. Most of my backlog games are like 3-10 years old and that does not bother me at all, can easily have fun with those.įunnily enough my personal game of the years are almost never AAA games either. I do have a few AAA game on my backlog but they are years old that I'm yet to play cause I always end up playing other type/lower tier games instead. 'Like the only true AAA I played this year was HZD and thats not exactly a new game' Yea tbh just because a game is rated as AAA doesn't mean anything nowadays, this year I barely played any new relase and even those weren't AAA really. They're not thinking about their next yearly installment.

And those are precisely the aspects that indie devs dó see and focus effort on. Only ever so rarely will you find actually new AI or the AI expanding on what it can do. They just increase the numbers, same trick but now it just feels less fair. Nine out of ten times, newer games don't offer anything new on higher difficulty. Its the same with the difficulty level in games.

So games go stale faster even if they do roughly the same thing, but 'better'. Lots of challenges with 'the mundane' things in games are just simply overwritten with flashy buttons telling you exactly what to click when, or automated for your entirely. And the simplification you see in later, similar games doesn't always help to increase the fun factor. It sounds like old fart, but honestly, mechanically the best games and concepts have already been made. That one time you do muster the courage to go the end no matter what, you'll eventually find yourself at the last page saying 'I god damn knew it'. Its like starting on that 'great book' that you just can't get into. You just know you're going to lose money and hours you never get back, but damn well wished you did. The latest triple A is just so godawful, I'm staying away most of the time.
