    I’m happy with my legion go, it can handle most aaa games pretty well. And if I want to upgrade later on, I’ll get an eGpu. Modular gaming system ftw

    Your uh… $1000 gaming PC? Isn’t that pretty much all it can play? (assuming the game is released today)

      you can build decent enough pc in a 1000$ on ryzen 7700 and 64gb ram and intel a770 16gb in that budget

        Ryzen 7700 and 64 GB of ram is crazy overkill for gaming. Downgrade those and get a used RTX 3080 for around $400 and you’ll have a good modern gaming pc

    this failing isn’t on you though. AAA games is not what it used to be, I feel like between 2008 to 2014 game companies have all progressed and transitioned into something they didn’t use to be.

    my $4k gaming PC at this point is a glorified FFXIV machine although, I do plan to play other things soon.

      I mostly play indie games, but I sometimes play AAA games (Ghost of Tsushima right now) and I am glad that I have my rig that can get 90 fps @ 4k (with fsr).

      It’s not because you don’t use it every single time that you play a game that it is a waste of money.

        This exactly. I bought a custom build specifically for Elden Ring. After blowing that out of the water, my next most played game that year was Stardew iirc. It’s about having power for when you need it rather than always using it to feel like it has value

      I feel like the last few years at least have had like one worthy game per year, which for someone with a lot of work to do and now a family, is plenty. I’ve yet to finish Elden Ring and Baldur’s Gate III, and while I completed Cyberpunk, I never got around to the DLC.

      I’m also cautiously optimistic for 2025, it honestly seems to be a great year if not too many games get delayed or turn out to be shit

      I do certainly feel like between 2016 and 2021 or so, we barely got any good games. The biggest release of 2020 took a year or 2 to be decent and even then never lived up to its’ hype because what was promised was simply too much. 2021 the biggest release was Forza Horizon 5 which I loved, but a lot of gamers don’t really care for.

        ?

        2016 we got Blood and Wine for Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 (which is a good game, just not a good Fallout game). Oh and we got Doom.

        2017 wasn’t that great for AAA, except for Nintendo. But we still got great games like Breath of the wild, Prey, Nier Automata, Hellblade, Hollow Knight, Undertale to name a few.

        2018 we got Red Dead Redemption 2, Monster Hunter World, God of War.

        2019 we got Death Stranding, Divinity Original Sin 2, Sekiro, Resident Evil 2

        2020 we got Final Fantasy 7 Remake, The last of us 2, Hades

        2021 is kind of a dud because of covid.

        So I’m terms of AAA only 2017 and 2021 can really be considered duds. But indies released some absolute bangers between 2016-2021. For example Disco Elysium, among us, outer wilds, Stardew valley, inscryption etc.

    everyone reading that probably had one in mind. i bet ill hit 75% of them with the balatro/stardew/terraria combo, though if yours is far more obscure, by all means enlighten me so i can buy it and let it sit in my backlog for years because of my own game addictions.
