What was your first videogame that made you say "Ok, I need to play this game properly: I need to upgrade my specs"? (lemmy.ca)

Going back to your beginnings in PC gaming: the first game you played and loved, but the frame rate and resolution weren't ideal. Your first "I need/want to upgrade my specs" basically.

Quake 4. I remember running it on a very cheap GPU and following tweakguides to get it running properly. The game that actually got me to pull the trigger on new hardware was Battlefield 2142.
