▲ 32 ▼ What’s that game that makes you stare at your PC or console and think, yeah… it’s time for an upgrade. Or the one that actually pushed you over the edge and made you do it?

[–] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 months ago (2 children) Doom 2016 several years after it's release. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] cloudless@piefed.social [S] 1 point 10 months ago (1 child) I've heard it is well optimised, it runs reasonably well even on Nintendo Switch. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago Yup, it does wonders, thx Carmack and Co. But it gave me a reason to put off some money and then make a generational jump from my ancient Win7 system to something I can run it with all bells and whistles, something I still comfortably game on today with minor upgrades. If not for Doom, I don't think I could've had a reason to do that with how I was comfortably indifferent to being locked in Skyrim-age games. New rig then gave me an opportunity to try new titles and series I felt in love with. I can't overestimate this factor in my personal journey and I'm a bit sad there may not be other push as strong as this one, with such benefits. permalink fedilink source parent
