I'm so fucking tired of this stupid trend. It doesn't even have anything to do with Nicki Minaj...I don't want any "celebrity operators" or whatever. Especially ones dressed in bright pink, though. It just clashes terribly. CoD is not (or was not, and certainly should not be) Fortnite. Fuck this noise. Man, I really enjoyed CoD way back in the day, too. How fucking embarrassing.
Also, pretty funny; from what I've seen with reviews, people are currently very upset with modern CoD anyway. Massively negative reviews, everyone complaining about everything. And then they do this instead of fixing their game. Wow.
Yeah, Battlebit looks pretty sweet, might have to pick it up at some point.
I'm also thinking of building a new computer after over a decade, though, and would feel a little silly playing an intentionally low-poly game on a super computer. Not that that would stop me from doing it!
I do have to find some visually impressive games to play too, though, if I do pull the trigger. I got Cyberpunk for free a while back, so that's on the list, and if I do end up getting the components I'm looking at I'll get Starfield for free too. It's an exciting prospect, it's been ages since I've had anything approaching a midrange machine, much less nearly top of the line.
Yeah, I'm not one hundred percent locked in on the super high-end machine, but I'm contemplating it. I would like one of the newest gen GPUs for once, but I'm still looking at other options too. One way I can justify such a thing is, I generally don't upgrade my computer much, so I'm looking at this as something I'll keep around for ten years or so again (currently running an i7-4790k and GTX 970 for reference.)
I realize high end is overkill, but it could be fun overkill nonetheless. I agree it would probably make more sense to go midrange and upgrade in five to seven years or so, but I might still go high end and keep it around longer. I'm looking at the RX 7900 XTX which is right near the top of all cards, while being significantly cheaper than Nvidia's offerings (not that that's saying much.) It's also got massive overkill VRAM, so should be somewhat future proof. Also, if support continues to improve, it could theoretically eventually outperform the few RTX cards that currently beat it. Not the 4090, but it could slide into second place.
And, no, I don't plan to water cool, that's generally pretty dang unnecessary, and I don't have the patience for it anyway. I also stream sometimes, and the current gen GPUs have some nice encoding options, especially once AV1 gets more widespread support, which seems to be the trend. So yeah, I know it's more than I need, but I might do it anyway, and hopefully be set for the next decade.
