What game encouraged you to make your new PC, or upgrade? (lemmy.world)

Since the minimum and recommended specs for Starfield have come out, I've been budgeting to do a big upgrade on my PC with an AMD 6800 xt and a fancy new 1 TB SSD (which is the first game I've ever seen that requires an SSD) just so I can run the game in all it's space epicness.

What was the game that you were so excited for that you made the jump to upgrade your PC to the next gen of hardware? New or old!

Quake 1 - though not quite at launch, it was the game that pushed me to get a Voodoo 1 card. Half-Life 2 - due to the delay I ended upgrading my video card twice, ending on an ATI Radeon 9800
