ut'99 baby. full game with healthy stack of mods would be maybe a gig or two. would look and play well on most types of computational vegetation.
ok, yeah UT2004 would also look nice and play in most potatoes.
i listed more but then I looked and it showed my age so I deleted them and focused on unreal ya whippersnappers.

The original Talos Principle, easily one of the most stunning games I've played.
By the time I reached the desert stages I would regularly just stop and look around, soaking it in.
Damnit I need to buy a VR headset just to play it again in VR!
I’m glad to see other Bloodborne PC enjoyers on here. I spent a weekend getting mine set up and I just beat The One Reborn. Not a perfect experience, but it’s been pretty great so far.
Overlord, for as old as the game is (nearly 20 years now) it looks great and has a very tongue in cheek humor throughout the story giving it a lot of charm. Sadly the choices in the game amount to be nice :) or be disney villain >:(

How is it dead through? They recently released the remake to MGS3 and it uses the Fox engine (looks like it anyway) 🤔

The remake runs on Unreal Engine 5

I personally think it still stands as a beautiful game, the art style especially has aged quite well

My potato from 15 years ago could in fact not run if (fluently; had like 15 fps).

A shame, especially with how optimized the game is.

fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 20 pts · 177d
Half of those don't run on a potato, or your concept of what a potato is is pretty warped.
Factorio even has lag optimisation techniques because even a 3080 will have troubles if you don't optimise energy generation.
porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 177d
Factorio is usually CPU limited, it runs fine on my i9 with just integrated graphics and no discrete GPU at all.
fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 177d
Sure, but I wouldn't call an i9 a potato PC unless it has 10 years xD.
I should have listed my CPU, I have a 5800.
I think my point stands haha.
porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 177d
Yeah, I agree it's not a potato, just saying a 3080 is definitely not an issue for it
JackbyDev@programming.dev · 13 pts · 177d
Elden ring would consistently get ~20 fps on my old computer which I would say had a potato CPU and a good graphics card.
