Quoting: MyeulC

much like what people call 'walking simulators', but you're flying instead

So, I take that it's a flight simulator :)

Well, no, there's no flight simulation to it to let it be in that genre.

Quoting: STiAT

Quoting: liamdaweI don't see what people are getting up in arms about, those are the recommended specs. As in what would take to run it around max level.

There's far more games out there saying they need a lower card yet perform like crap on them, we are just used to games claiming they need low cards for a "recommended" spec.

They will probably change near release too, it's common for games to list weird specifications way before release. Even if they don't change, by the time the game comes out the 980 will be like three years old.

If I learned one thing, recommended ones are mostly the ones we need to play fluently in Linux, exceptions granted (Shadow of Mordor would be one, after the patches of course, but now it is).

I do not have a good upgradeable rig (X51 of Alienware, 320 power supply..). Options are limited, and my cash supply sadly is too.

I know you can test on your fancy things you either get or buy. Try most of the bigger titles with less hardware, and you'll be stunned what you see.

This may be due to OpenGL still being a huge implementation issue which you can burst with better hardware. Fact is, on lower specs, some titles are hardly playable.

You do most tests on 970, nice you got one. Some people do not ;-). I do have hard times getting performance on titles as Talos Principle in certain situations, or even Tomb Raider, Shadwen or XCOM 2. And with performance, I mean higher than 30 FPS so it won't hurt my eyes. I am still running an I7-2600, GTX760 with 8 GB RAM... most more demanding titles are almost unplayable without heavy tweaking.

And I'll just counter the argument which will come: I do have a Win10 installation on the same disk which I hold for lan partys and I tried the titles there - don't try to tease me, but performance IS better there. That's a fact. For me sad, but true, most ports to OpenGL do not have the quality of the Windows equivalent.

I'm not talking about any of them, I am talking directly about this title.

Quoting: Purple PuddingProbably I'll not be able to see the stream, make sure to take a photo of the penguin!

If I manage to find it, I will try to remember!

I will also try to get the livestream up on youtube.

Quoting: wolfyrionAll of these I consider them abandomware and I am not gonna spend a penny on them.

Abandonware is basically a made up term for pirates, it's not a real legal thing.

Also, it wouldn't even fall under that made up term, since it's being obviously sold.

Quoting: Mountain Man

Quoting: BTRE

Quoting: Mountain ManThere's some nuance here.

Indeed there is - and if you can't see how me calling something that expands available content an "expansion" and not even following it up with the word "pack" is a distinction nor how the terminology used in marketing for games is wholly artificial - I'm afraid we'll have to agree to disagree and leave it at that.

Paradox doesn't even refer to it as an expansion.

Dude, give it up already.
