probably earlier if mw2 was 2009.

Im only 28 and I feel ancient now.... fuck

Basically have to start writing your will now dude

rofl

That's wild. You played when I would consider the series downturn. After mw2 it got weird

latest CoD is actually pretty deec

I grew up on COD1, MW1 and a ton of MMORPGs because *THAT* was a thing.

I never got into that even though I did play while bypassing my school's firewall

I played a lot of Dark Age of Camelot. between 1998-2008

Hell yeah!

Age of Empires was the game to break me into online gaming

That's commendable. I play a lot of xbone right not. Borderlands 3 atm but when I get the itch to play PC I usually lean towards older games

If the franchise is right and they create the right atmosphere I can get sucked in. I like borderlands 3

The last one was Red dead redemption 3

It's a shame that PC has been left behind when it comes to optimization

They do sort of optimize, but by sacrificing space

Then again it is much easier to optimize for a single set a hardware like a console than it is for the endless possible combinations you can have with PC

Like every new game being >50gb with most of that being uncompressed textures and audio

Idk if that's because of optimization

is it?

I just figured more detail

nvm

i didnt read your comment right

In any case, they dont optimize especially well for console either

PC just lets you overspec, basically

makes sense. I just figured that the rigid specs of consoles would make more predictable results

It does, but games constantly push the limits

And it also depends on how the hardware is setup. Just look at the mess that was PS3 porting

Hey! I liked my PS3!

I didn't notice anything terribly wrong with it

Ports tended to be iffy on the ps3 because devs wanted to develop on one standard and that standard didnt involve splitting the ram in a goofy way

It's why Skyrim had issues on the PS3 but we heard fuckall about the 360 or PC, for example

I played a lot of BO1 on that system. Skyrim was for PC

Can't imagine going back to shooters on console

But yeah, then you had the ramp down from the fat

It's a tough transition...

The loss of features

An unnecessary transition tbh

Idk... I went from playing at a pretty high level on the PC to playing console so I could play with my local friends

The way you move through the map is still useful even if you are playing with a stupid .5" stick to aim with
