      There’s a lot of AAA that isn’t slop. That sounds like coping.

      Would you be able to run something like Horizon Forbidden West at moderate settings and 60 fps?

        Don’t even know of that game.

        I dont really stay up to date on super new games either tbh. I have a huge console collection so a lot of my gaming is spent there as well. Besides, I dont pay more than 20 dollars for games, so I dont buy new ones.

        Also, since I refuse to run windows, quite a few scummy game companies are purposely locking out linux users with their trash anti cheat. So I wont play those games and have no want to.

        Oh also I just looked up that game. I cant stand that kind of game so I would never feel the need to play it. Too much fantasy and flashiness for me. Wayy too complex to be fun for people who dont game 12 hours a day.

          super new games

          I dont pay more than 20 dollars

          I paid €16 for Horizon Zero Dawn, it came out in 2017… 🤷‍♂️ One of the best single player games I’ve ever played. Runs on Linux. Played the whole game on Linux. Played in sessions of a few hours a time. I have 2 kids and played this game.

          I think you are using a lot of assumptions here. But if you really don’t like that kind of game, fair enough.

          I’m just saying, there are a lot of high value games which are not slop. All I’m saying.

      You gotta get on Alan Wake 2. I’ve been having a great time playing it. Play the first and Control before you do and you’ll see a lot of tie-ins which is pretty fun. One of the characters looks a lot like Max Payne too.

          Okay good! I played Control years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. I picked it back up from the beginning a number of months back and got hooked. I had a price watch on Alan Wake 2 from a couple years ago and it finally hit my target so I got it. I figured I should play through the first Alan Wake so I played it and enjoyed it significantly more than I thought I would. Now I’m probably a quarter of the way through 2 and I’m really liking it a lot. I definitely want to check out Quantum Break also.
