    one thing i remember about playing Need for Speed: Underground 2 on the lowest settings is that it completely disables the rain, not only the visual effect but also the changes in the way your car handles on wet terrain, arguably making the game easier

    This video's production quality is insane, I'm glad to see someone still caring about the lower end of the spectrum in games and hardware as a person who grew up with a pc older than me. I absolutely love this channel and hope it grows as I'm thrilled for more content of the sort.

    Man, I thought this was a big channel at first, then I saw that you only had 749 SUBSCRIBERS??? I went ahead and became the 750th, because your editing is really amazing, and I am one of the people who are forced to use low settings due to games being demanding. Lovely video, lovely channel.

    One of the hardest speedruns in The crew 2 is on a event called "New York", The world record for this event was beaten by literally installing a graphic extension to lower the graphics to a bare minimum.

    This video is perfectly timed. We are at a point where it's hard to impress people with high end visuals. Cutting back graphical power and using that money elsewhere would make a big difference.
    Also as I get older, visual clarity is super important. On the rare occasion where I play a big budget triple A game, I don't think "Wow, these graphics are amazing!", I think "Wow, I can't see! What am I supposed to be looking at?"

    I have thought about this a lot and it's really true that high settings don't always look the best. I usually play minecraft specifically at the lowest possible settings because it feels cosier and right to me, despite having a powerful gaming PC. And your channel is definitely something i'm going to keep an eye on for a while, i loved this video.

  • @metalheadmaniac8686

    I always turn down a lot of graphics settings because I see no reason to make it harder on the computer, and as a programmer actually just a computer nerd and a half. I love going through settings because I know how and why these settings do what they do; hell, I even do this when playing on a game console where developers really know what hardware they are working with because, like I said, I simply see no reason to make it harder on the computer, and wow, I really am a computer nerd.

    8:30 low spec NFS! I was 9 when we got a purple Compaq Presario sans GPU in 2000. Bizzarely, it came packed woth with a ton of EA games, nearly all of which I had to play on the lowest spec. High Stakes was my favorite because of how detailed the cars remained- I couldnt figure out why Porsche Unleashed’s cars were made to look so bad!
    PC came with Sim City 3000 Unlimited (my username is the exe file name), Tiger Woods 2001 and the rest which required low spec: NFS Hot Pursuit, High Stakes and Porsche Unleashed, plus Triple Play 2001, Madden 2000 and NBA Live 2000.

    im glad you're getting positive feedback and views from this but can i acknowledge how absolutely silly it is for there to be a 10 minute video essay on the "understated beauty" of low graphics settings
    also weird how its almost exactly 10 minutes (but i doubt that was actually intentional)

    Others use low graphics settings to not get distracted by the realisim, able to focus more on enemy's.
