If you intend to keep this platform for a while longer then for sure grab a Vermeer x3d. I think you’ll feel a pretty decent improvement in 1% and .1% lows
With that said, I’m not sure if cyberpunk in particular will benefit too much from this. If that’s your primary motivator for upgrading, then maybe hold off until you want to move on to a DDR5 (or later) platform?
Yeah I can’t justify a whole new PC at the moment, and with a cpu and gpu upgrade to something like a 4070 I should be able to get several more years out of it.
Cyberpunk wasn’t my only reason for an upgrade but it was one of the main ones, I’d heard the newer dlc content is quite cpu intensive. However I’ve just checked the steam page and the recommended requirements seem to have gone up again to a 7800X3d
Oblivion popularized fucking DLC, holy fucking shit I hate DLC so fucking much I pirated any games that has DLC, I don’t mind expansion but DLC can crash and burn in a pile of dogshit
So like… I don’t get the hate for a specific method of providing content. Like, there’s obviously a difference between Factorio’s Space Age, and what The Sims does, even though they are both DLC.
Technically true, but I think everybody knows exactly what kind of dlc is meant, and because they still make up the majority of dlc content and addon-sized dlcs are so rare, it’s fair to call them that.
Moneygrab empty dlcs ( shiny horse armor! ) are stupid, and history has shown that people are not fiscally responsible enough to not be lured into spending absurd amounts of money for very shallow or plain empty content. “Vote with your wallet” doesn’t really work in the face of more and more insidious marketing efforts.
I don’t remember 4 being that chill, when you press the frog button and have to leg it back to the start for fear of losing your loot it gets pretty intense!
Jurassic Park: Trespasser invented physics engines in fps games as we know it. The game itself was a buggy mess and a financial disaster. The player’s health was shown on the main character’s boob for some damn reason. However, they did have the basics of a very good physics engine, and Valve took a lot of their ideas and incorporated it into Half Life 2.
Man, Trespasser is an example of a game with some pretty wild ideas about immersion and puzzle solving in a first person shooter game that the tech just wasn’t quite able to pull off. If anyone is curious there is a positively antique Let’s Play on YouTube that discusses the game’s development, its relation to the wider Jurassic Park franchise, cut content, and, of course, the game in context. I think it may have come from the old Something Awful forums, and it remains, to my mind, the gold standard for what I’d like Let’s Plays to be. Worth checking out if you’ve the time.
I dispute the Serious Sam claim. The LucasArts iMUSE system was doing things like that years before. Even among fps games, the first Dark Forces game used it.
It’s also possible they just didn’t know. LucasArts didn’t push the system all that much in their PR. You’ll see it in some bullet points on the retail boxes, and articles of the time might make a passing reference to it. It was quite a remarkable system for the time and they were very low key about it.
You mean DotA 2, but DotA (warcraft 3 map) also popularized the MOBA genre. It wasn’t the first MOBA however, as I believe that title belongs to an earlier StarCraft map called Aeon of Strife. But StarCraft didn’t have a robust enough hero system for it to really catch on.
There is a UK petition in the works. It’s not quite ready yet, because thanks to your recent election the team behind the initiative had to redo all of their work. (Your government requires everybody to resubmit petitions if a new parliament is elected)
Dune II - basically the grandfather of every RTS game out there (and incidentally very, very different from Dune I): opposing forces, resource collection, tech tree, fog of war, et cetera. Or perhaps it was (not World of) Warcraft, it’s been too long and memory gets fuzzy.
