I guess the $70 game isn't even worth $10
Over here the game is 95$.. crazy..
DCS World is another game that easily uses up 32GB or Ram. Warhammer 3 will eat that shit up like it was hotcakes, ditto for Darktide. Most modern games will use up all the RAM you have, and if you don't have it they will go to the swap file. A lot of people forget about that swap file. Then there a the games (like DCS World) that introduce memory leaks every other patch.

Maybe I'll hold off on that 32 GB ram upgrade after all. So far my 16 GB has played every game with like 30 browser windows/tabs open, music or video playing, and rarely even gets close to 14 GB used.
Meh, I easily ram cap on 16GB when playing battletech with mods ;p
"Only" RogueTech
But only if you can stomach 1m+ loading times
I tend to like games more than most reviewers so I don't pay much attention to reviews, but judging by the gameplay videos I don't really see anything that justifies the crazy high specs. It looks great to be sure, but it doesn't look any better than RDR2 which had far lower low-end and mid-range specs.

Disappointing.

DId anyone get the PC version, I really want to know any technical shortcomings and if Direct Storage is actually good.
It will end up being a tech demo that hardware reviewers use to test direct storage that no one really plays. Another ashes of the singularity or even the tomb raider games.
Saw this coming - it just looks paper-thin. Corporate interests over high end design and soul. 
Kittens!

Steam GOTY 2023 for sure
I actually wouldn't be surprised considering the quality of games these days. Maybe 2023 will be the first year that a 6 out of 10 is game of the year 🤣
Steam GOTY 2023 for sure

This is a game you wait until you can grab it on sale for $9.99. I was worried about the main character, and AGC confirmed my worries. Completely unlike-able main character. The last time I played a game where I absolutely hated the main character was Prototype 2. I was rooting for him to die the whole game. Complete jackass who basically causes all the problems he has with his terrible attitude and completely unwarranted hostility towards EVERYONE. Really don't want to pay $70 for a game that looks like it struggles to run well graphically and makes me want to murder the main character.

I was considering it but stopped after watching a couple of those. The UBI loop I like so that isn't an issue. More that they are doing stupidities with the cut scenes and character. Also problem with the enemy variety. All in all, does not appear to justify a $70 price.
Fast forwarded the ACG video, landed on the bit talking about the Ubisoft map, immediately went "naw."
I guess the $70 game isn't even worth $10

Is it good or bad that this conclusion was obvious from the trailer?
