Great post. Live weather is MSFS is the one thing I remember from this gen that made dipping back into gaming worth it. For me the killer moment was early with MSFS, tooling around in a Cessna over my house, when thunder and lightning moved in. I went outside, and the lightning was in the real sky. I was so blown, I couldn't help but look for a little Cessna over my house.

Hahahaha.
Yeah I dont play on Live usually but whenever theres a major storm somewhere or when Im just trying to show off the games live weather system to friends ill go onto live players.
Maybe a tad with Helldivers 2? Having 4 players, in different locations, on a large map, with that many things going on onscreen feels like it couldn't be done on last gen hardware.
I take it you forgot Battlefield had 64 players on the map with absolute chaos going on, LittleBirds being fucker, Jets seemingly forgetting we have objectives, Tanks get raped by Engineers, Destruction and Levelolution™ later on we even got the Behemoths?
Sure the servers were hammered whenever Leveloution™ happened, but it was totally doable lastgen.
Hell Fortnite and CoD Warzone have an impressive amount of things going on at once in a server with more players.
Nothing about Helldivers 2 seems nextgen or even remotely wowish from a technical perspective......i have no doubt it would work on lastgen consoles.
Just look at the spec sheet:
A Ryzen 1500X.......mate I actually forgot there was a 4 core R5 CPU, thats how low down the stack that thing was.
P.S Its still a great game before people attack me.
