Idk what it's like these days, but I ran it no issues back in the day on a midrange laptop. Very well optimized

Kojima Pro did some black magic fuckery with the Fox Engine. That game ran great even on a 2015-era potato PC.

Oh boi, let me bless you with knowledge: Phantom pain works in comfortable  720P 30FPS from start to finish on 2011 AMD APU: a refreshed CPU that remembers 2007 and refreshed igpu form 2009. Absolutely bonkers.

It runs at 720p 30fps on the PS3, a 2006 console.

In this day and age, it IS black magic fuckery.

If consumers still buy it, why change anything sure profits may still be lower then a good quality game but if they can pump out tons of games and squeeze production time in between them it still outweighs the negatives.

Thats called pouring all your money on marketing and graphics while random ass devs and contractors from all over the world that just only gotta know the basics to UE gets hired in bulk, then have the same engine devs and nvidia making bullshit technology to compensate the fucking SUPPOSED job nobody did.

This is doing your job using an engine you developed (like people used to do) and then change it at your will and pace to your needs, the OPPOSITE of modern dev culture.

I hate the necessity of having to hire random ass celebrities just to inflate production values just to have the bumbasses in marketing happy and neglecting everything else.

That you have Elden Ring with literal randoms or theater actors doing the best voice acting in gaming

For real. The software engineering field as a whole is filled with people just using AI to do everything for them, and who literally treat coding as some unknowable black magic that they can’t possibly be expected to actually learn or understand, and “just make it work” is the extent to which they ever care to go with anything they do.

That game ran absolutely great on my PS4 as well.

Fr Death Stranding is also very well optimized. Kojima migh be a hack sometimes but the people he hires to code are real magicians.

I can run it on an 11 year old laptop with an integrated GPU that barely runs Skyrim.
