And we just the official bullshit of "Well it runs on my PC just fine." from a developer.
"Never trust a man with two first names."
Three is okay tho, right?
Oh I love this part.
Developer makes game that looks fucking fantastic but only runs on newish high end shit - "Fucking devs"
Developer makes game that can run on a potato but really isnt anything visually special especially for a AAA title- "Fucking devs"
I'd much rather have a unique artstyle instead of the normal AAA as close to photorealism as possible, games like that tend to age better too. Like look at all the games made by Supergiant Games, way prettier than any COD or Assassin's Creed and will absolutely run on a potato.
Well I absolutely agree with you there.
People criticize companies for pushing the graphical aspect past what hardware is capable of, and yet these games that push the envelope are the ones that tend to sell the best.
The fact is that PC gamers (of which I am one) are some of the worst consumers to make products for.
To make a AAA title with no bitching you need to break new ground and be innovative without feeling derivative or alienating, it needs to offer absolutely endless gameplay without being boring situationally generated filler, have a real sense of progression that isnt a lootgrind, be inclusive without being "woke", offer endless customisation of literally everything and run on absolutely any hardware and os configuration from the last decade with absolutely zero issues. Oh and god help you if the release is delayed by so much as a day, the game cant have any kind of subscription model or cosmedic microtransactions to fund the free DLCs that need to be released regularly until the heat death of the universe.
Very VERY rarely someone gets it right, sure it can be done. But its like hitting an out of the park home run, its not supposed to be easy.
Runs fine for me 5600X, RTX 3080 @1440p high ultra settings native.
"Runs fine on my high end rig"
Thanks for telling us.
Runs fine on my 5600x w/ 2070 super on High settings, 3440x1440. I did however install a DSLL 3.5 mod from the beginning.
Teach me please, sensei. This is exactly my setup, 5600x, 2070s, wqhd and dlss mod. However, I could definitely not crank it up to high, and it still runs at only like 45-50 FPS. Can you maybe screenshot your settings? Maybe I overlooked something that I need to turn off/on?
I honestly haven't done much tweaking. Really all I've done is set it to High and then decrease the Render Resolution Percentage from the default 62% on High down to 57% (which I believe is roughly similar to a DSLL "Balanced" vs "Quality"). I typically end up with around 50-60 FPS I believe, which is plenty for me in a game like this one (it about what I've typically aimed for with years of heavily modified Skyrim). Obviously, if it was a competitive FPS, I'd want higher like 120+, but I don't feel like that's needed for a single-player shooter/RPG like this one. That is of course personal preference though.
Has anyone tried it on RTX 3050 laptop?

What upgrade to my pc would allow me to play that game at 1440p 144fps stable on high or ultra exactly?
