What was your first videogame that made you say "Ok, I need to play this game properly: I need to upgrade my specs"?

posted 1 year ago

Going back to your beginnings in PC gaming: the first game you played and loved, but the frame rate and resolution weren’t ideal. Your first “I need/want to upgrade my specs” basically.

Oh shit, I remember there WAS a game. I believe I bought a Geforce 2 MX or sth for it…could have been an FPS, possibly Unreal Tournament.

I came here to say Unreal Tournament 2004.

I remember on my laptop - trying to get on a hoverboard and my frame rate dropped to 3-5fps. I knew I needed to finally build and put my laptop away.
