God of War Ragnarok with Neutral reviews on Steam because the game can't run on PCs with less than 6 GB of VRAM (Update: Also because of forced PSN)

[John Elden Ring]

Update: Some of the negative reviews are also because of forced PSN Account Requirement to Play

---

God of War: Ragnarök debuts on PC today with a 22,967 concurrent players peak on Steam so far. God of War (2018) peaked at around 73.5k on Steam at launch.User reviews are mixed with about one third of the reviews complaining about the forced PSN Account requirement.

One of the mai reason gamers are angry is that God of War Ragnarok doesn't run on graphics cards with less than 6 GB of VRAM, mainly affecting GTX 1650 owners

Fix the 4gb vram ngc please i paid to play, i waited for two months for a game that runs on ps4 to simply not run on a mid end pc. THIS IS A LACK OF RESPECT FOR THE CONSUMER

You pay looking forward to playing the game, you count down the days to its release and when the game is finally available to play, you get a message saying that you can't play it because your video card doesn't have 6GB of RAM... It's disheartening to have to deal with the fact that you have to force yourself to upgrade in order to play a game that was released on PS4. If the game doesn't run, I'd understand... but if I don't even have the opportunity to open the game? what a bastardization

It's strange because it can run just fine on APUs that have less than 0.5GB of VRAM, even on configs of 16 GB RAM, using that system memory as VRAM. The fact that is DDR5 RAM might help.

Chips like the 8600G can run it at 1080p 30 low/medium settings. Other than that, it seems to be a great port.

Yeah system requirements even state the minimum VRAM required. Just refund and stop complaining.

1650 Lmao, no disrespect but the guy should go back to flipping burgers. Do people really expect to game on xx50 cards? those cards are for csgo and dota 2 at low settings

This alone tells you that the majority of people who played GoW 2018 on PC, went ahead and bought themselves a PS5 to play Ragnarok on launch instead of waiting 2 years.

GTX 1650 is mid end PC? Maybe in 2015.

 

[Old Gamer]

But I thought everybody had an RTX4090 rig.

 

[Entropi]

I‘m going to sit this one out.

- Brag about PCs being so much more powerful than consoles
- Sony releases game that ran on console with up to 16GB shared memory, with 6GB VRAM requirement on PC
- "Why can't I run this on my potatoe PC?"

No, it just tells you PC gamers didn't care as much about the second game.

None of those companies are a threat to Steam.

Everyone understands what Sony is compared to those companies. They can read the tea leaves.

Yeah, Steam isn't "going down", but Sony unlike the other companies makes games every year and not just annual sports titles or annual shooters. They also have relationships with 3rd parties.

They can etch out their own section of the PC market and run it at a profit instead of a loss like EGS.

 

[AllBizness]

Average Steam player PC is less powerful then base PS5? That's pitiful.

Shut the fuck up Sony won't do shit!

That's the secret truth of PC gaming and why a lot of people are angry about the Pro.

PC games release and they don't work on every configuration out of the box and most of these configs are lower end than PS5.

The PC gaming community likes to pretend like everyone has a 4090.

A higher percentage of PlayStation 5 owners will own a PS5 Pro than PC gamers own any of these high end cards.

Not with this moronic leadership they won't.
