A 5900x. At The time it was top of the line. I didn’t experience any crashes but the stutter was crazy and the FPS were, as I remember, always around or below 60 at 3860x1600. Problem is the maxed out graphics were meh at best, so that level of performance wasn’t justified at all in my opinion.

I had (And still have) a 5900x, which, at the time, was high end.

I remember watching the first trailer they released more than a decade ago and thinking wow, those are some nice graphics and I am a sucker for space stuff. But at the time, my 1080ti didn’t look powerful enough for such a game.

Then some 4 years ago or so, with a brand new 3080Ti there was a free weekend to try the game and, after cranking every setting to max, what I remember is, wow these graphics are outdated AF and it is a stutter fest. Uninstalled after a couple hours never to think about it again.

Probably the end of many, if not all, third party vendors.

And let modders add the weed afterwards. Brilliant!

But what do you do with your six packs then, slap an AIO on top of them to keep them cool?

I want to upgrade my PC by late 2026, hope the AI bubble has burst by then.

Isn’t this the same trailer than before? Because looks like it.

Sure, if something has taught me life is that when a corpo is trying to deny something, then 100% chances the thing they are trying to deny is true.

Played all 3 games in a row a while ago and, aside from them being terrific, it shows very well the evolution of the FPS genre across the series.

Indeed. A truly masterpiece.

What the world needs is more people sharpening the guillotine.

So another live service thing biting the dust? Paint me surprised.

I have some EA games that I got for free over the years, but I don’t know which ones are because there isn’t an online library, you need to install their crappy launcher for that and I’ll be damned if I ever do so.

Guy is totally right.

At this point is already a cult, right?

Looks weird AF.

I think that the story arc they told ends wonderfully and needs no sequel, the world they have built, on the other hand, deserves more stories to be told and I will be waiting eagerly for them.

I gave a try to KF2 on PS4 but was ultimately bummed out by the fact of playing with a controller. I’ve been waiting to try it again on PC. Wonder if for a casual like me that will play it mostly solo will KF3 do it or am I better sticking to the previous game.

Really interesting reading, thank you!
