The Best Low Spec PC Games You Can Play in 2021

From Xfire: "Gaming desktops are more powerful than they've ever been. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to get themselves the latest and most powerful graphics card right now. Not especially given the current situation, with cryptocurrency miners driving up the prices of even entry-level gaming graphics cards like the GTX 1050 ti.

With that said, not every game out there demands a powerful PC. In fact, in this day and age, some of the best games on PC can be played even if your desktop doesn't have a graphics card."

It's not just miners driving up prices, but the fact that there's a global semiconductor shortage. It's hitting everything hard, from GPUs, to cars, to mobile SoCs.

But I've noted a similar thing to the author, in that many of the games I play don't even require the hardware I've got. Still nice to have, still want to get a RTX 30XX series card for the graphics heavy games I do end up playing, but some of the best games I've played don't require beefy hardware to run or enjoy.

F*** AI

"Hey Copilot, what's a good meme to prove I dislike AI".... https://giphy.com/clips/sou...

Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.

It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.

....you know it takes people to program the AI.... right? It isnt like it is sentient. We haven't reach skynet level of situation or anywhere close to the matrix just yet.

That's next Thursday.

Einhander19725d ago (Edited 5d ago )

It takes a people to program the AI then that AI is used for who knows how many games eliminating countless jobs which only grows as AI is used for more and more game creation functions.

What you're saying is so ridiculously short sighted and truly larking any kind of understanding and foresight.

Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.

Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.

Yes we can't wait for the work of others to be used without the need to pay them so that MS can profit even more from the people they fire.

There is no chance I'd ever use something like this, especially if it's not part of the core game design, but a layer on top of it. It's way too much handholding. Many games already feel like busy work, because they don't let the player figure things out on their own. Having a real-time interactive guide defeats the purpose of playing the game in the first place in my opinion.

If this were to become the standard like you predict, we'll see more and more video games get away with bad design, because people will just be used to ask for help from the AI companion anyway.

Number1TailzFan6d ago

Well Nintendo don't need this with some of their games these days, with invincible characters, items, easy bosses etc.. they do the hand holding built in

helicoptergirl6d ago

Takes "hand holding" in games to a whole new level.

1 major advantage to this will be launching it straight from SteamVR. You have to make a custom shortcut to get it working right now in VR.

This is good news. It will be much easier to get it installed on my devices without using workarounds.
