No ? They target specs from ancient low end parts that were shit even at release, to nearly 7 year old performance profile for recommended, which is ps5 level hardware, all the way up to modern hardware. Seems to be an efficient and scalable game, but we'll need to have it in hands of course.
Shame that virtually every big game until summer has denuvo. I mean, every single one. They really embraced that stuff this year

And a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 is 2nd on the steam list of video cards used.
What do you expect them to aim at for low end mass market playablity? A 2080ti?

I said I don't see signs of poor optimization from those images and that the high hardware requirements are for 4K ultra. Then Areius came talking as if 720p/30fps required the 3090ti.
OH my mistake, sorry misunderstand your meaning of your post. Thats on me
Thought it was directed into complaining it was scaled around a 8 year old GPU as lowest. But you was pointing out lowest still worked on an 8 year old one.

Looks good, but these guys don't know how to write good stories and create open worlds that aren't a checklist. So, I'm afraid this is going to be some Ubisoft-like game.
so do i get this right: bc Rowling is supposedly super transphobic, concerned gaemers ignited this neverending shitstorm on a game that while being based on her characters has had no further affiliation with her in the creative process?
sorry guys but i had to ask since i refuse to read up on this idiocy

The story of the game also focuses on goblins, a race oppressed by the human wizarding community within the HP universe. While more than capable of magic, they are forbidden to wield wands because humans basically fear them and want control over their entire group - much like other species like house elves, werewolves etc.
What's a bit curious is that these goblins are seemingly the villains you are fighting, as the leaders of the rebellion you're fighting against are allying with dark wizards.
That's another point of contention for some regarding the game being somewhat retrograde in their view ; I admit the gist of it doesn't make much sense to me either from a purely narrative standpoint, unless there's some kind of twist to make it a little less Manichean and a little more subtle.
That subject is linked with how Goblins are portrayed in that universe.. they're your typical fantasy goblin, and that typical goblin does have an hint of anti-Semitic tropes around them (they're greedy, untrustworthy, mean and happen to be bankers). Some argue that JKR just subconsciously used those very common Goblin tropes but is not anti-Semitic at all, others argue that she did it more willingly than not and made Goblins extra scummy - I strongly think it's choice #1.
Otherwise, it's just a very basic and endless author vs the universe he/she created debate.
To push the point, if Georges Lucas came out to be a serial killer or some kind of fascist edgelord, it would inevitably hurt the Star Wars franchise in some capacity regardless of his actual involvement. Basically, people just do a quality and importance of the works versus how bad the authors' have fucked up ratio - people still routinely watch Polanski movies.. Whatever Resetera elects to do is largely inconsequential (but is apparently very important ?), people will vote with their wallets.
JKR embodies the HP franchise pretty much on her own as well, so any character flaw of hers (perceived or real) will be scrutinized to an unhealthy extent and can affect how hers fans view her works, that much is up to them. It feels like the honeymoon she's had with her fandom since the books were released is over as those fans have grown up, that her books are being more thoroughly examined (and she's not literary genius, much to their chagrin ) and that she has started given her views on many contentious societal issues (which is bound to divide her fans).
Imo, you have to be a bit complacent to think she's not being particularly edgy towards very specific subjects nobody had any need for her opinion about - and which for sure are giving her a lot of publicity, good or bad. If she's not meaning to stir controversies one after the other, she's very poor at it.

She is still making millions annually from her books and the films as new children discover them. All the twatter drama is really a meaningless drop in the ocean.
Also, her “controversial” views are: "there are only two sexes: male and female”, “trans ‘women’ are undoing a lot of actual women advances” and “'people that brith’ or ‘people who menstruate’ is retarded”. I hold the same “controversial” opinions.
Exactly what I meant, this controversy doesn't hurt her in any significant way and is kinda retarded at its core.
Her opinions cannot be summed up in the three snippets you wrote, I'm sorry but that's a vast simplification of what she's said in the way most favourable to her.
You don't stir a big controversy out of mere thin air just like that - the fault cannot be solely put on the "easily offended community" if you're being honest, it's not a side subject for her at all, it's become very central to her and she's been feeding the issue ever since.
These three snippets are basically accepted and aren't controversial whatsoever (of course, you can find groups that will actually contest them, it's the Internet. Does it make it an actual majority opinion ? No. You can also comment and question those snippets without actually meaning to call them into question in reality.) to me, but they're often brought up, or emphasized as key, defining issues to ridicule some. It happens to work..
She's basically tweeting about it non-stop, trolling and mocking left and right - just look up her very latest tweet One can find it funny, but let's not pretend she's just stating objective facts, she's past that stage. If she wants to be in that kind of spotlight, so be it, but it's not the best angle for a children author to me - she's lucky HP is so big she could pull basically anything off, it'd still sell.
If you're making fun of Resetera and the such, then you can only be fair and mock her as well, she's grovelling in that mud, far from being reasonable and contained about it at all.
The subject she's trying to bring up is interesting and fascinating to discuss, but she's not very brilliant nor clever, she's way out of her depth so it just stirs shitty, low-brow controversies whenever she tries to explain her not very interesting nor well-informed views.
It's good to read the "other side" 's take on it once in a while too

And there I was, thinking the only controversy about her was that certain of her characters were suddenly gay, that weren't in the books.
What a story. Almost as interesting as Harry and Meghan.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."
Unlike reseTROONera, this forum is here for, you know, gaming discussion.

And yes, I'm aware that my post and quote are not related to gaming but I'm just waiting until this discussion is moved to the proper thread again... Let's give the mods a break guys, come on

Many people cannot separate the art from the artist.
I myself, if hitler made amazing art [before his whole nazi thing] that appealed to my art style I would hang one in my house I can like what someone makes, without liking them at all.

Didn't she just said that children should not be rushed into undergoing hormonal therapy as they might regret it later in life?
Maybe, but if she did then I think the backlash would be from the gross misleading tense of that statement and using pointed negative connotation of the verb in it, to convey the action as undesirable by the hasty application of it. Connecting a negative sense of urgency to the subject matter as 'one'.
Children should not be rushed into anything, no matter what it is..at all:
And that's the problem with the statement: It is a gross statement we can all agree with (to come off as sensible), attached to a thing that it isnt applicable to.
And I do not know one reputable doctor that would rush a child into such a decision. The process to do so is long, drawn out, requires a lot of evaluation of the patient, their mental state, many many sessions with a psychologist/psychiatrist and many stages of check gates before even offering it as the solution.
Anyone 'simply' stating they should not be rushed into it, clearly is making an uneducated self announced stance statement of their dislike of it guised as a concerned morality based one.
It would be like stating: No one should be rushed thru medical school at the age of 13 to be forced to be a doctor. Yea..no shit. Problem is your argument isn't a thing that happens to have an argument about. You are arguing about a feeling you have that doesn't exist but you seem to think it does. Because you heard a story about a 13 year old that is in medical school.
And if what she says is happening, it's the rare exception to the commons (everything is a bell curve). Not the norm by any means. It's a failure on that particular unique case and the doctor and parents part. Not the situation of act itself. It's a false connection of a bad doctor, with what they saw the doctor for, as bad.
Its an attempt (or belief) that what they say must be an epidemic, when its in reality a rare anomaly.
It's like @TheZor Said:

Now this is not me for or against gender therapy.
I feel it should be saved until late teens at the earliest. Do not make such a fundamentally drastic decision that affects the rest of your life (even if reversible) before you are aware full of what 'the rest of your life' encompasses.
But This is me simply stating "That's not how this works, That's not how any of this works". If she wants to discuss the topic at least let's start with what is the reality of it as the basis.

Fuck can't even go into a thread to read about a game anymore without all this political bullshit spewing or what some author did. Go make a separate thread about it and complain there.
still haven't seen a single preview outside of the studio, if the game is great and they're confident about it, then why is this i wonder. it's releasing within days, not months or years..
