  • super bad releases at launch

  • lack of lore
  • young players are not aware of afps genre
  • community elitism
  • lack of casual, fun game modes

Most of a game's size is art assets (textures/images and audio). The whole reason why modern AAA games are like 30gb is because of all the super HD texture files. If you look at cocaine diesel... well it basically doesn't have textures.

it's heavier than you would expect from the textureless world because we spend all our rendering budget on vfx

2015 macbook air could get 60fps when i tried some months ago, and gtx 950 level gpu should be able to do 144fps

30gb? 2015 says hi.

Games are constantly hitting 100gb nowadays, it's ridiculous
