    There’s a lot of AAA that isn’t slop. That sounds like coping.

    Would you be able to run something like Horizon Forbidden West at moderate settings and 60 fps?

      Don’t even know of that game.

      I dont really stay up to date on super new games either tbh. I have a huge console collection so a lot of my gaming is spent there as well. Besides, I dont pay more than 20 dollars for games, so I dont buy new ones.

      Also, since I refuse to run windows, quite a few scummy game companies are purposely locking out linux users with their trash anti cheat. So I wont play those games and have no want to.

      Oh also I just looked up that game. I cant stand that kind of game so I would never feel the need to play it. Too much fantasy and flashiness for me. Wayy too complex to be fun for people who dont game 12 hours a day.

        super new games

        I dont pay more than 20 dollars

        I paid €16 for Horizon Zero Dawn, it came out in 2017… 🤷‍♂️ One of the best single player games I’ve ever played. Runs on Linux. Played the whole game on Linux. Played in sessions of a few hours a time. I have 2 kids and played this game.

        I think you are using a lot of assumptions here. But if you really don’t like that kind of game, fair enough.

        I’m just saying, there are a lot of high value games which are not slop. All I’m saying.

          Thats a good deal! It looked like it was $60 now…

          Yeah makes sense. I just get an ick reaction to most of those super fantasy games, like the FF games which I avoided forever but did start playing FFXIV and I do enjoy it most of the time, its just so many names and places and game mechanics to remember. I also play probably 20+ different games a week, very rarely do i ever play 1 game at a time.

          Also, to me any game around 2010 era is still brand new lol. 2017 may as well have been just released xD

          Yep id agree youre right.

            It was a really good deal! I bought it for €19,90 again one time for a friend. I don’t think he played through it all. 😆 He plays a game for like 6 months then drops it…

            I 100%'d Horizon Zero Dawn. Sooo good. The story was amazing, the pacing, how they slowly introduce mechanics to you to ease you into advanced combat mechanics, how you slowly gain access to armour, weapons, etc. Just masterful. And the story, super engaging. It’s very well received. 🥰

            I think it’s probably a little bit different from the FF games, but I can’t say for sure as I never played those.

            But yeah, anyway, I’m glad you’re able to play all you want and need to play without upgrading. It’s very nice to be able to save money for a rainy day. 😁

      Thinking the avg lemmy user plays games that are newer then 2008 is were you fucked up.

      People that use this platform basically are glorified luddites when it comes to gaming unless you go to extremely specific gaming areas. Then it’s like 2018 instead of 2008.

        I didn’t think that. I asked if they’d be able to play it. It’s an inquiry about their system more than what they like to play.

        They did say they can play “every game” except one.

        I was going to say I play Factorio which is fairly new until I looked up when it entered early access… :/
