where the hell is blood while killing 0.0 (7:38 at resynced).
Balanced for Minimum and Recommended (Medium)
Quality for High and Extreme
Hey that means the 4090 can manage 1440p @60fps! Ah, 2026 just keeps on giving.
the minimum and the next field to the right ryzen processor ryzen 3600 makes no sense.
a intel 8700k can not as good as ryzen 3600. When i looked closer the next field had also a ryzen 3600 with a higher intel 10600k.
ubisoft, what else.
the recommended to high cpus also makes no sense 11600k vs 10600k, but on the amd side it is ryzen 5600x vs 3600x.
the 16gb dual channel is also a bullshit claim. the hole computer counts, single channel ddr5 is for sure also decent enough.
Ubi has at least enough self awareness to remake what the people want.
Now to wait for it to drop down to $10...
Game looks great, that's what modern lightning brings to the table. Enhanced geometry is also a big boon. I loved this game back in the day but only got some 25% in and sold my console after that for some reason. It'll be a nice stopgap before Hexe comes.I see you're trying hard to make some kind of a lulzworthy joke here, but I truly fail to comprehend it. Can you elaborate? Is it the fact that we now have upscaling as default in recommended specs? I suppose that's considered a bad thing in some circles, though others might point out that being able to play 1440p @ 60fps using the likes of 10GB 3080 or 6800XT is actually a good thing (given that in the 2026 you bemoan so much, the upscaling quality is often on par - or better - than native. In Balanced, no less.)
