i used to think it was to make games more difficult to pirate but ive learned that massive download sizes have become more commonplace these days because uncompressed vs compressed audio makes enough of a performance difference for them to do it for crappy computers

oh no the 18-month wait for their lovely PC port that will probably be plagued with bugs that mostly won't get fixed, and design issues due to being a console port that definitely will never be resolved, just got delayed again

if you pay more than $5 for this garbage you're a dumb rear end in a top hat

idk. isn't directx supposed to be bad at using multiple cores?

i doubt there's gonna be any truly significant performance difference between that and a dual-core of around the same speed, i think they're just basing their specs off stuff that's actually on the market right now.

or maybe it has something to do with cpus they optimized for?

my point being you can't say it's 65gb to help with the audio for bad computers when they say "we require a quad core" yes i know it'll probably run on a dual core but it's not for optimization, it's because it was the easiest way to pinch off yet another really turdy pc port to scoop up some extra money

i kind of fully expected the specs for this game to be pretty intense. a modern open world game with tons of music and audio files and textures needs a lot of space and a quad core, maybe a good video card. woah. this is loving bullshit. i should be able to run this on the poo poo i built in 2007

I think everyone pretty much already found that out, or they're ignoring everything the devs say about it

my expectations for it are guarded, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to enjoy farting around in a spaceship looking at dinosaurs more than I would like yet another phoned-in PC port of a two year-old game

go get a bucket of sand then then dump it out and explore the sand dunes and then you can scoop it up and explore a brand new planet whenever you want
