A fucking 3070 and 12 gigs VRAM?

Yea sure a 3070 isn't a top of the line card anymore fair enough but the screenshots just look like Skyrim.

The reqs should not be that fucking high.

3070 isnt that high end of a card, and thats if you want to play the game at a higher quality and still get like 60fps. you could get away with medium settings with something like the 20 series as im assuming this is ray tracing only so it wouldnt be easily doable on something like a 10 series card

Is there a sloppier slop genre than open world survival crafting games?

Open world survival crafting base-building third-person action with minor RPG elements, optional stealth, and lots of collectables.

I'm gonna hedge bets 3 ways and say
- Gacha
- Visual Novels
- Walking Simulators

Those last 2 especially, because as a whole those genres push into not even having gameplay. A "game" without gameplay is the sloppiest you can get

I'll also add Sports Games to the slop list, since they don't add many new features with every annual release, and those games are also filled with pay-2-win microtransactions in their own versions of Gacha with their respective card modes. And some people have a console and only play their annual Sports Game of choice and don't play anything else.

I know a guy who's like this with Tekken and Diablo. Hasn't been able to shut the fuck up for years about "gaming is dead, literally nothing ever comes out, indie games don't exist, I shouldn't have to leave Xbox", and when you play Tekken with him he's the kinda nigga to tell you that using grabs, reversals, or specific characters he doesn't want to deal with are all cheating.

My brother and I sorted him out a midwit fuckin' casual's wet dream: an everything-ready-to-go borderline retard-proof Bazzite box, and within two breaths he's told us he doesn't want to know how his computer works or anything. Me and bro exchange a look and bro tells him he'd better fucking learn cuz he ain't getting free tech support.

I think he's still just playing his Xbox and bitching about how Diablo IV isn't living up to his expectations.

Gacha games are slop, but it's technically more of a monetization method than a gameplay genre. Visual Novels can be fine if you just accept it's, well, a "visual novel" and not game-game; the biggest source of slop with them is all the Western-made ones that are based around a single joke.
If we're looking at more genres to call slop, I would look at things under the "rougelike" tag and anything that's largely procedurally generation. That stuff is pumped out because it doesn't require any fine tuning by the developers to be in a working state that people will accept.
