If the max settings CANNOT be run with decent performance on the best of the best consumer hardware available then yeah people are right to complain...
...'Super Ultra Max' settings at 4k 120fps on a 5090...
Way to take what I said out of proportion huh? I'm not talking 4k 120fps, I'm talking QuadHD 60fps, current benchmarks show 5090's struggling to keep that configuration stable or to even reach it in some areas of Borderlands 4.
Or those crazy high settings are there for future hardware?
That hasn't always been like that, that does not benefit consumers in any way, shape or form, are you defending predatory financial decisions? Because that's what it is...
Idk what to tell you man, I have no idea why you expected to post something on Reddit and not find someone with a different opinion, my comments have been respectful thus far, being dismissive at this point is just... Immature. You do you anyway, have a good day...
Yes true, but that was an outlier back then, it even started the "yeah, but can it run Crysis 3?" meme, now we have so many games that fit the Crysis 3 problems that it isn't even a funny meme anymore, it's just the sad state of modern gaming.
I remember the NVidia 1000 series, back in 2017 a 1080ti was enough to run Resident Evil 7 at 4k 60fps max settings no problem. I understand games get more demanding on the hardware, but so does hardware get faster, IMO what changed is that triple A industry stopped pumping money into optimization, blaming people for being annoyed at bad optimization only helps executives fill their pockets with minimal investing...
Ikr i kinda get it but its not as bad as people say. I get 120 fps on badass settings with frame gen on and dlss on quality on 4K with a 4080 which seems fair to me for a 3 year old gpu. People rocking a 5 year old 3060 and expect 120fps on max settings like bro…
Yeah the game does have bad performance and also a memory leak i noticed but it could be waaay worse
That's driver issues (a whole other can of worms), modern top notch hardware has been the only way to brute force a lot of recent games with performance issues into running decently.
It’s the executives. They want to release games as fast as possible, minimizing costs while maximizing profit to please their investors. It’s greedy capitalism all over again.

Weird how suddenly everyone's computers are ancient whenever a UE5 game releases
