​@@KrotowX you can still be a boomer and stay behind technology playing world of warfract at this age. not everyone can afford a lambo that doesnt mean car technology shouldnt keep advancing.

[@bigtime9597]

@@KrotowX This is how unrealistic your expectations are. You keep crying about spending money on new hardware, you keep crying about games having bigger and bigger file sizes, yet you still want to have all the benefits of having the most amazing graphics possible. And if you don't get it, you'll cry about how the game looks like it's from 2007. My friend, here's something you have to realize. If you want the best graphics possible, you need to pay the price, no matter what. There is no other way. And if there is, why don't you tell me about it?
