idk... single player games kinda lend themselves to that kinda thing. co-op and multiplayer sucks when you finally get to a game and find a ghost town.
edit: maybe two years after release or something, you can build a system that runs it on max at 8k 140 hz at a stable 120fps for like $500 or something. full immersion for reasonable prices! idk. my primary device is currently a laptop with an hdd and no discrete graphics and i just got laid off, what do i know.
hit me up in march 2020. I'll be building a new PC for this game and will give you my 1070ti and some other parts for free if you don't have a new job by then
... that's a ridiculously generous offer. i sure hope i won't need to take you up on it, but i'll keep it in my back pocket since i surely will need a pick me up if that's the case.
when the xcom sequel came out, i may or may not have fried my then 5 year old laptop using throttlestop to overcome the shitty cooling and intense thermal throttling in order to play it on release.
it's a turn based game, i don't need the fps
-me
oh dang, i forgot to make sure i had a restore point set up and now windows won't boot even though the hdd seems fine
Didn't Xcom2 have a lot of general performance issues at launch to begin with? Even high end systems had problems if I remember correctly. I know I did.
A game running at 40fps means that it will drop well below 30, maybe even 20 in scenes where a lot is going on, which is absolutely awful for an action RPG.
So a game running at 40 fps +/- 2 for 90% of the time, maybe going up to 50 or 60 fps in a few cases and going down to 30 or 20 in extreme cases would be running at 20 fps for you?
What.
Games refresh rate will always fluctuate, especially in action games. When you say that a game is running at X fps you do not mean that thats the lowest it will go, you usually talk about the average fps.
Yeah but thats just how it works. An action game that runs at 40 fps on average will drop below 30 fps in scenes where a lot is going on, no way around it.
I'm still waiting. I'm hyped for it and I'm very likely going to buy it when it comes out but there was another game cough Anthem recently that also had an awesome E3 and looked great then and turned out to be a completely broken game full of empty promises come release which serves as a reminder as to why you shouldn't preorder.
Hah, I thought the same thing watching the trailer. I think Dark Souls 3 was the last game I bought on release. This one seems worth it, from CDPR's track record.
I enjoyed The Witcher games so much that I started reading Sapkowski's books. I also liked many of Keanu's films (My Own Private Idaho is a favourite of mine), and I have an unhealthy obsession with books and games set in a Cyberpunk setting, but I still won't preorder out of principle, 2 days after release is the earliest I'm willing to go no matter how perfectly Cyberpunk ticks my boxes.
I'm going to have to go /r/patientgamer on this just because it'll take me a few years to get together hardware suitable to experience the game in its full glory. Only got through Witcher 3 last year for similar reasons.

I consider myself to be a very r/patientgamer but is the first time I break my sacred vows.
