I didn't play doom 4 -- which I'm pretty sure I would have loved -- because the price of entry would have been a $1.5k gaming pc, and I couldn't justify spending that much money for one game. There's zero may my mbp would have run it.
- benologist 7y agoNew gaming rigs start way cheaper, especially AMD ones, but you raise an interesting point. On nVidia's streaming service you get some GPU and some CPU but not enough for eg, Total War: Warhammer 2, so they disallow streaming it. It is likely such resource-intensive games will not show up on these services. eGPUs are also a thing and probably plug right into your MBP, making it more like $400 for many years vs $400 for 20 - 30 months of Stadia.
- Impossible 7y agoYou could buy a $300 PS4 or a $250 Nintendo Switch... Honestly Doom isn't a taxing game and might run on a MBP with boot camp or in a VM.
- boomlinde 7y agoWhen Doom 4 was released I bought my first gaming PC in a decade. Including a monitor I think I paid 7000 SEK (including large VAT) which would have been about $850 at the time. It ran Doom 4 just fine. Not that this is cheap, but it isn't $1.5k either.
