A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

i have a pretty good GPU now.

besides crysis, what old games can i go back and play on ultra-super-max settings and would still give my GPU a good workout?

or what games looked really good on ultra at the time but struggled to deliver fps, and would now be a joke for a modern high end GPU?

Total War games, like Shogun 2, Rome 2, Three Kingdoms or any of the newer Warhammer TW. It sucks that blood is a fucking dlc on those games

Titanfall 2

Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal

Monster Hunter World (currently on sale, too)

Max Payne 3

Metal Gear Solid 5

Isn't doom optimised to work on a toaster? The others I agree with

I think they mean for high/max settings.
