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
it's not just texture quality, game devs also throw in TONS of unused assets that just live on the disk and don't do anything. i think GTA V is about half just unused assets.
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.
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
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.
