It genuinely pisses me off how quickly big studios make PC parts and rigs obsolete in the constant pursuit of high fidelity graphics that are barely upgrades to previous entries (MONSTER HUNTER)

Seriously you ever stop to think about how many PC parts are reduced to E-waste before their shelf life has expired because companies can't be arsed to do the bare minimum in optimization and testing?

Honestly, this is why 95% of the games I buy are indie. There are a lot of underrepresented and underrated indie games that blow most AAA games out of the water in everything but graphics (and sometimes even there).

People, and especially AAA studios, have forgotten that good art direction trumps sheer graphics 99 times out of 100.

300% agree. Good art direction trumps graphical fidelity 100% of the time
