Video Game General 2: Definitive/Remastered Edition

Most of the time it is. Also, you can turn settings down to make games run better on PC, Ultra isn’t necessary.

Looks like someone had a nerve triggered~

@Meanlucario  
>LOL TRIGGERED NERVE  
In your mind yeah. Sure, because angry=nerve triggered.

@Background Pony #F4CE  
You’re the one who went on two rants about a video you never watched. That sounds pretty triggered to me.

@Mikey  
Okay, sure, but what do you mean by “ultra” in this context though?

@Background Pony #F4CE  
The highest graphical settings. You don’t need to use the, medium or high is the highest you need to do for a good gameplay experience.

@Mikey  
Fuck Microsoft.

And when you have a laptop like mine, “toaster” settings are the only settings you’re gonna get. So speaking as someone who played through Fallout 4 on ass settings with a max of 15 FPS, graphics don’t mean much for enjoyment.
 
Sure wouldn’t hurt tho

@DreamSoda  
Yes
 
@Dustcan  
The thing is, people think PCs have to push Ultra settings but that’s not the case, they’re only needed for pretty screenshots really.

I have never played a game on Ultra or High settings before. Heck, most of my PC gaming are on Low.
 
My laptop is not designed for gaming. Which is why I’m often not bothered by graphics.

@Scrabbleman  
I got a computer for games, and even than I stick to medium since that setting looks fine.

@Scrabbleman  
None of my hand-me-down laptops from my family can run games very well.

@Scrabbleman  
My previous laptops weren’t made for gaming either, but it wasn’t much of a problem since a. I didn’t play PC games very much anyway, and b. the games I did play weren’t exceptionally graphics intensive. Still, when I upgraded to my current laptop, I got one specifically for gaming. Maybe not the wisest choice, since you can’t really customize laptops, but even after three years, it’s still going fairly strong.

@Silent_Witness  
Gaming laptops are like super heavy duty. Even if you don’t use it for gaming, they can be used to do stuff like 3D modelling and stuff.

I am glad I am not the only one suffering.
 
I was gifted Fallout 4 by a friend here around 2014, and I havent played it since then, since its probably one of the most heaviest games (If not, the heaviest) in terms of pc requirements. I plan to buy a decent laptop, and yet, it will not gonna play at the fullest yet.

@Scrabbleman  
Well that’s good to know. Guess the $800 I sank into it was a solid investment.

@E-123
 
I’ve been planning on buying a good gaming PC for a good 6 years now.
 
It’s gonna happen eventually. But for now I’m gonna save money playing on a toaster than can still technically play games.

I generally keep my games on medium to high for a balance of good framerate and good visuals, and turn it up for games that aren’t graphically intensive like Spyro.

I absentmindedly deleted the snapshot I took in Ultimate that said I made 4 correct predictions in a row before I could post it.
 
*GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!*

Playing Xcom Apcoalypse again. I forgot how fun it is to sic air fleets on hostile faction taxis.

Honestly, the money annoyance in Tales of The Abyss is really grating.

Forgot to mention yesterday that I killed a Brachydios by making it run into a wall.

Sometimes I get so mad when I play video games I scream so hard I see spots.
