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!

New World. Friend at work recommended it, so I bought it. Couldn't get it to run. This was during the GPU shortage a few years ago. Spent weeks on a wait list and finally got something close to 2x MSRP bundled with a motherboard. At that point I figured I should just go all in and do a full upgrade. Finally got things running and lost interest in the game 2 hours later - haven't touched it since. Now I mostly just play RimWorld.
