  • Have you gone and looked at what W3 looks like recently? It's not a bad looking game by any stretch but this still looks significantly better imo. The vegetation density definitely looks way better, as well as the lighting.

  • Just for the record, the in game OST was properly done by MG and was great. It was the Official OST album that was taking bits from that OST to make full songs that were very sub-par. The music MG was making is very dynamic in game, and each level had multiple musical phrases that start and stop dynamically during gameplay (this isn't unique to doom of course, lots of games do this.) in game the music is some of his best work imo, and really brings the gameplay to another level.

    Some people have released better mixes of the songs taken and edited from those music clips in the game files to make better mixes than the Official OST album.

  • Then you reduce the output of the nuclear plants. I'm not sure where you are getting that it takes them forever to start up nuclear power. You just raise and lower control rods to increase or decrease the heat they are releasing, which lowers the steam produced, which starts/stops some turbines. It's not like the fastest system out there, but afaik it's easily doable in the span of an hour or two.

  • Valve literally hosts petabytes of game data and allows any user to download them at any time. That's not nothing, data storage is very expensive, and users are charged nothing for it. They provide a service to not only the customers, but also the developers. Steam has so many backend features that allow devs to skip so many networking steps that can otherwise be a huge nightmare. Not sure why you think they are literally just a webpage that has a purchase button next to a game.

  • It ran terribly for me on my 5800x but after upgrading to a 9800x3d it's running perfectly, has maybe crashed once in 50 hours with maybe like 3 or 4 bugs that whole time. Not sure how performance is on lower end cpus/systems right now though. I will say, whenever you do get it you won't be disappointed! It's an amazing game so far.

  • I had all of that. Ran into intermittent random crashes about a year ago. After a year of not being able to find a cause I found a thread of other 5800x users running into the same problem. (For the record this was with a high quality PSU, a very very light overclock, and temps were fine throughout that time. Also while I'm not a true IT professional I do know my way around a computer, and the most in depth error logs I could find, which there were very few of, pointed to really low level calculation errors.)

    After finally giving up and just buying a 9800x3d I gave the system to my friend for a huge discount, but after reinstalling everything the CPU never booted again.

    While what you say is generally true, it is also sometimes the case that some parts are just slightly defective, and those defects might show with age. It's the first CPU I've ever had that died on me (other than a 9800x3d but that was an MSI mobo that killed it,) so I don't really hold it against them. And I'm very happy with the 9800x3d. Its amazing the difference it's made in games.
