You did a super job wrapping things up! And I'm not just saying that because I have to!

"Minimum" are the lowest specs they've tested the game with. Not the lowest specs the game can actually run on.

It is still a PS4/Xbox One game. So unless they really hosed up with optimization on the PC version, the game can probably run okay on hardware that could run DS3/Sekiro.

As soon as I saw the 12gb minimum I thought "wait isn't this thing launching on PS4 as well?" I don't know jack about the tech end but a PS4 has 8gb for memory AND graphics, so it seems like they'd be making things harder for themselves by not making that the floor for the PC version too.

Anyway I'm gonna be a wretch. I bet it'll suck rear end!

If you don't have at least 16GB what the gently caress are you doing. Ideally you should have 32GB if gaming.

E: Also, consoles can get away with less RAM.

:confused: There are a few outlier game titles that will benefit from 32 GB RAM. But in general 16GB should still be fine for any modern build.

That write up made me choose Vagabond since it has the lowest Arcane and you don’t need that many level ups to make a magic fighter hybrid with it like the article said

Yeah, Vagabond seems the obvious choice given that it has the least points in The Bad Stat, Arcane. Item Discovery is not a stat I'm going to put points into when I could have them in Hitting People instead.

people gaming on Windows are commonly sitting at 7GB+ RAM in use before they load a game. PC memory environment is completely different than the memory environment on a console

16GB has been the recommended baseline for any gaming pc built in the past five years at least

You tend to run more things than just a game on your PC (not even accounting for the OS eating up a chunk). You should be putting in 32GB if you're putting together a PC now - my six or so year old PC had 16.

The suicide pots are gonna revolutionize PVP.

Yeah it seems there is both the flask of wondrous physik which is a “make your own estus flask.” This is how you make the exploding suicide flask. There is is also the cracked pots which are a “make your own throwable.” It seems both the flask and the pots are reusable. I believe the pots require crafting materials you find out in the world while the flask of wonderous physik seems to require items that you “slot” into the flask. That is to say it seems the items you use to make different physik flask recipes are also reusable but you might have to find them in chests. I believe the physik flasks refills automatically at bonfires just like estus/ashen estus flasks.

Memory is so fuckin cheap, its not worth being without. My original 4x8gb kit wouldn't boot with XMP enabled so I picked up a 2x16 and I'm almost tempted to get another to make it 64 just for the hell of it. At the same time considering a CPU/mobo/memory upgrade for DDR5, quoted the other day at like 1100 bucks before tax (maple dollars)

Anyway I'm sure this is going to run swimmingly as it is so I'm not worried yet.

Yeah, with games, Discord, browsers, music apps and if you're streaming poo poo - the more RAM the better.

All that being said I am playing this on a PS5 so lol

I can't afford a new PC right now and prices and supplies are rat hosed anyways. Only rich bois can get a new PC - especially here in Canada.

If I have left over money after landscaping and blinds this summer we'll see though.

...must attack and fall upon them with a gallant bearing and a fearless heart, and, if possible, vanquish and destroy them, even though they have for armour the shells of a certain fish, that they say are harder than diamonds, and in place of swords wield trenchant blades of Damascus steel...

I usually go dex/faith for my first play through, but none of the classes look really geared towards that. I think I’ll go with confessor, even if it’s a little less min-maxed than prophet in terms of the int/arcane spread (though who knows whether arcane will really be useless except for a few builds.) Dex/int with prisoner looks really nice too, though.

I'm going to drown! For no reason at all!

I can’t imagine the game actually requires 12GB of RAM, but the current hardware survey says ~2/3rds of Steam users have that much currently so it doesn’t seem like a huge ask.

Sad to see that prophet went from chad wheel around their neck to virgin cutting board. I'll probably go prisoner or confessor then.

So arcane is this game's luck as far as we know? Knowing FROM there will be like 2 really weirdly powerful late game spells that are only powerful if you have a stat that is useless for most of the game.

Anyways Probably gonna do vagabond then level some int and mind to sling spells. Though Samurai looks sick.

I think it's gotta be Confessor for me. Dex/Fai, perhaps, with enough equip load to hide a sneaky offhand weapon or two. I have visceral, intense nostalgia for the feeling of unloading a surprise lightning Avelyn right into a host's chest.

This game is going to suck hundreds if not thousands of hours of my life away. I'll happily give it all up.

That's starting to sound like an attractive option for me too, but I'm a little hesitant to lean on miracles for a first playthrough as I'm unsure where all the cool stuff is.

Samurai is looking really appealing to me too - definitely the best "quality" choice I can see
