Not like the gaming whales with their 4090 tis and top spec CPU would care.

They sure can release it. You don't need to buy every game that barely got your attention and interest.

Oh, I barely buy games nowadays. I aim for games that are finished.

It’s just that a lot of problems with the gaming industry at large could be fixed if release dates weren’t announced until the game is actually release ready. It bugs me that even CS stumbles on this.

[–] Shiggles@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The game is going straight on Xbox gamepass right? It might be too late for them to delay the release date, I’m not sure how that works.

That's what I was thinking. I know releases have been delayed on GamePass before, but I'm also not sure how easily that is done. The couple content creators I saw seemed to have what would be "normal" FPS for C:S1, so maybe CO is willing to release like that as the player base is already used to it, then optimise later. Could be completely wrong, but I hope not.

You mean the same people that whine when they are only getting 299 fps and not a solid 300?

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

More or less.
They may whine but will continue to pre-order games

It's unity. It will run poorly even on top end hardware.

That makes it even weirder that people act surprised that this game will require a very beefy PC.

Most people who are interested in this game don't know what engine it's made on, let alone the performance issues inherent to that engine.

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Most people aren't here ob Lemmy. Lemmy users are tech savvy and know such things.
