Date: May 13th, 2025 9:06 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK I installed Steam and looked at what AAA games I had purchased and I sorted them according to which one seemed like it had the best mix of graphics and everything. This game is a 2017 action-adventure and first-person shooter game developed by MachineGames and published by Bethesda Softworks, so it's definitely going to hit my GPU harder than LA Noire. I see that LA Noire was patched as recently as February, 2025, but Wolfenstein: New Colossus received an update in April, so I presume it's maintained its lead in system requirements.
To play this game I'll be using a standard Microsoft Xbox controller. Nothing fancy, but it's not Sony or Nintendo. Japan is totally out of the picture here.
The story itself features a white protagonist and all-white villains, and some of the community content includes images of Hitler. That was another reason I chose this game over LA Noire. |
Date: May 13th, 2025 10:25 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK Well nyuug, I don't know if I played for a full "hour." I definitely played long enough to get a feel for the controls. The game begins with some cutscenes, then you find yourself in a wheelchair, unable to walk. The only weapon I could find was this machine pistol.
One of the things this game illustrates is the importance of having at least 8 hyperthreaded cores. Intel would have you believe modern games run fine on 4 or even 8 threads, but look at those stats. If I had an 7th gen i3 I'd be fucked.
This game also reveals the importance of have at least 16gb of VRAM. That screenshot was taken early in the game, and I'd already used up 7.1gb. I could run out of VRAM before I even finish the game.
As far as the graphics go, I'm kinda stuck with what I got. I monitor is a shitty OLED that shits out at 175hz, so that's why my frame rates were so low. I thought the blood looked realistic enough, but the detail in my foot could benefit from a better upscaling engine. I might hit up Microcenter tomorrow to see if they have any RX 9070s in stock. |

Date: May 14th, 2025 9:19 AM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK Took another run at this game but my saved games were all gone, so I knew where the enemies would be. Still they are tough. I got shot in the back several times while sitting in the wheelchair. Not sure if I'll ever walk or whether you play the entire game in a wheelchair. One nice thing about the wheelchair is that you don't make noise when sneaking up for a stealth kill, and later on I assume you can you can upgrade the wheels and the seat.
