I remember being a kid and wanting to play Far Cry in high quality when it came out. I did not have the money to buy the best graphics card to play it smoothly on high settings. So, I could either play it in low quality with something like 60 FPS or in high quality with something like 15 FPS. Of course, 15 FPS is not enough to play the game properly, but to capture all the beautiful details, I just went with the highest settings and very slowly explored the beach, astounded by all the details. Good memories.

This was the most amazing game for me at that time but when Company of Heroes was released COH became my favorite. The graphics and specially the sound. The open game play that rivals GTA series.

CoH was amazing. Too bad the current iteration is dogshit.

I remember building an Ahtlon 64 system with a GeForce 7900GTX at that time and I played with Far Cry everything maxed out. Half of the cost of that computer was the graphics card and it was the absolute highest end model that money could buy. Recently I bought a graphics card for 600 when the prices came down, a 3070 RTX, a more conservative choice since the top models now go for 2k.

Don't worry, MWLL, which runs on Crysis Wars engine, still can make a modern PC crawl.
