Not happy with Bethesda for making people completely upgrade their PC's to play this game "DirectX 12 is not supported on your system. Try running without the -dx12 or -d3d12 command line argument."

This is absolutely so messed up to charge people this much when I have much larger and more intense games that I play.

This should have been a huge warning label before I wasted my money.

Sorry this happened. The ship will come in.

If you play a video game, you need a capable computer, or use a dedicated boxed computer commonly known as consoles (they are still computers under the hood). That’s just common sense.

This is just like someone complaining DMV only issuing you a driver license. If you want to use the license to drive (use your purchased copy of a video game), you still need a car (computer).

Why complain a game producer for not giving you a mighty computer for the low, low price of a video game???

I mean, needing a beefy rig for a remaster of a 20-year-old video game is a bit dumb to be fair

you mean like the required specs on the store page?

if your pc isn't dx-12 capable, then you're below spec and bought a game thinking you could get away with it: be prepared to take note that all future high end games will have these types of requirements and gpus that do not support dx-12 are eventually going to be completely phased out for support, meaning you will HAVE to upgrade regardless.

This is a remake not a remaster. They used the word remaster over remake only because it's technically running the 2006 game under Unreal Engine 5. Remasters typically only involve minor changes. This added in a bunch of stuff and changed existing systems. A remaster would be releasing the 2006 version with some new graphical improvements. This game launched a fully separate game, remade form the ground up. Added in new voice lines, animations, mechanics, in-game systems.

No it's a remaster, other than the graphical overhaul it's 95% the same as original, just buggier. Of course, many of the bugs carry over from the original.

[White Rabbit Alice]

its both a remake, and a remaster.

Certain parts of the leveling system changed from the original,some weapon dependancys changed. (Meaning its not completely the same, making it a remake.)

The Graphics were upgraded, but the story script largely stay the same, That part is a remaster.

although usually a remake means you just update it to run on modern systems, not beef up the requirements, and re-make it with new graphics, maybe add controller support.

all the other "Remasters" Ive seen have just changed to be a port, from the console, upped to work on PCs with a decent frame rate, and pretty much the same graphics.

[Yoghurt shot]

Consoles, the only hardware that devs have no excuse to not optimise their game for they advertised their product, also crash and performance drop below 40fps after playing for as little as 15min, lol.

Play something else. This game is broken everywhere. Only insane Bethesda simps defend it.

Incorrect. This reboot was not built from the ground up. The old game and engin is running under the U5 engine. U5 is what's running the new graphics. The original game is still running under U5. Very similar to how D2R (diablo 2 resurrected) was rebooted.

This game is in fact a reboot. It's not a remaster as u said it wasn't just a graphics overhaul which is what a remaster is and no remasters do not change anything about the game. Small changes isnt a remaster.

A remaster by definition is nothing but a graphics overhaul. No balancing no gameplay changes ect

It's also not a remake remakes are built from the ground up. This was not. U even confirmed this b saying the OG is running under the U5 engine

It's a reboot because a reboot isn't built from the ground up reboots also change aspects of a game in the case lvl ups. Or even add content and do balance changes. Reboots also generally use most of if not all of the original code. As well as generally update graphics In this case the OG is running under U5 engine

Based on what u said i can see u do not have a clear understanding of the difference between remaster remake reboot and ports are. The fact u even state the OG is running under the U5 engine tells me u don't know the difference between these. Stating that confirms it's not a remake

Ports and remasters are very similar to each other. Ports just make a game playable on another system including modern systems/hardware red dead redemption for example nothing gamplay or graphics are changed. It's the exact same game just made to run on a different system.

Remaster is very similar except remasters are updated graphics and thats it. Nothing gameplay wise balancing new content ect is done to the game.

It's not a remaster and a remake. For one remakes are built from the ground up this was not. OG is running under the U5 engine.

This game is in fact neither of these. It's actually a reboot

Usually remakes means updating it to run on modern systems????? Ur describing what a port is.

Do u even know the difference between remaster remake reboot and ports are???? Pretty clear based on what u said. U dont

Read my post above this one. I lay out a bit of what these actually are by definition

That statement alone shows how little you understand.
Just go play the original - no one is forcing you to play this.

Although you sound like the original would struggle on your PC as well.

There has never been a time in the history of video games where 7 year old hardware would run the latest games. Consoles release in cycles and typically present large enough upgrades where the old hardware would not stand a chance.

Do some research on the issue before just trash commenting. Thanks for the trash comment anyway though. Happy to waste your time.

You also did not research the actual issue before commenting - go educate yourself on the topic. Our PC should easily run this game.

Incorrect. A remake would involve remaking the assets, scripts, characters and locations. They did not do this, all the original bugs are still there, The coughing voice lines are still there, the inconsistent voice acting, AI and mechanics are still there. All it got was a modern coat of paint.
