Currently trying to refund the new Indiana Jones game because it’s unplayable without raytracing . My card isn’t even old, it’s just 8GB of VRAM is the absolute minimum apparently so my mobile 3060 is now useless. I miss when I used to be able to play new games in 2014 on my shitty AMD card at 20fps, yeah it didn’t look great but developers still included a very low graphics option for people like me. Now you need to be upgrading every 2 years to keep up.
Dev: should we make our game with a distinctive style that is aesthetically appealing? Nah slap some noise on the screen and make it look like your character is wearing dirty oakleys and has severe astigmatism and myopia that’ll do it.
