As the name suggests - patient gamers.
Mostly it’s for discussing games that came out a while ago that you’re just now getting around to. You get the benefit of the bugs largely having been fixed and being able to get the game for a much lower price than what it released at.
It’s also quite liberating getting to explore some real gems without having your perception distorted by the hype-train.
Welcome.
Based on the recommended specs, it likely won’t run, at least not without some serious compromises.
It does make me wonder what awful things they’re getting that poor creation engine to do.
To be fair I remember Fallout 3 being a bit of a nightmare to play at launch too.
I can’t say I’m surprised honestly - after Saints Row was such a commercial failure I can’t imagine they’re going to be throwing their weight behind a sequel…
Previous commenter is incorrect - you can export up to 4k with the free version.
A thousand times this. I have no idea why this isn’t a more popular option. Also it isn’t limited to HD - it’s limited to 4k.
Indeed but it’s also a matter of how you design your game. If you’re assuming that a game is running off a hard drive, then you’ll likely design it so that it loads everything in at load time because the assumption is that storage will be too slow to provide assets on an “as-needed” basis.
On the other hand, if you can rely on there being an SSD you can just assume that you’ll be able to grab everything and as when needed.
This actually has an added benefit in that you can design more ‘ambitious’ games because you don’t have to worry about needing to fit all of your assets for a given ‘level’ into system memory. You can rely on the fact that you can just load and unload things as and when needed.
