PS5 is just a sad sad gen with PS4 still being the highlight. Just really highlights how lucky Sony is that Xbox totally botched their own IPs this gen.

I don’t get the rationale for nerfing stuff in a coop game. Being able to feel overpowered and feel strong and still be fun for everyone is one of the strengths of coop over pvp.

Dead Space scared me so much it made me numb to lot of horror games since.

Wonder if the game will get a fov option. Game fov was nauseating even played on a TV so had to use cheat engine on PC to increase it.

No it was just a comment to getting a gaming PC and a console. I’ve had a PS3 and PS4 for just the exclusives and encountered the drawbacks as a PC gamer used to PC performance being forced to use a console for the exclusives. So console is not an area I’m unfamiliar with, and personally over two console generations I found my PC to be the better living room experience, since PS3 and PS4 fell short of performance expectations.

So this gen being able to not bother with one and just opt for only a hdmi cable was a dream come true as opposed to PC gaming and console combo. And looking at the console games that ended up trapped to being only playable on the console it was released while PC games I bought during the same time frame being playable and upscaling with the hardware to run better has made me more satisfied with my PC game purchases.

But those people are already using consoles because they find PC too confuse. This advice is for people who already have a gaming PC. Seems a waste of money to get something that can play triple a titles and then just relegate it to working on only a monitor and picking up a console to only play on the TV.

That’s what at least a $1000+ and then another S500-$700 and needing to buy games for another platform and internet subscription? Maybe doubling dipping on the same game along the way? I don’t see the selling point for a PC gamer.

It was even worse the previous two generations to do that since games running at 60 fps was a rarity so if you had a gaming PC it was the best device to actually take full advantage of the resolution and TV refresh rate. Otherwise it meant going nearly two whole decades of 30 and sometimes sub 30 fps gaming.

And now Sony games come to the PC after a delay and Xbox exclusives is no longer a thing. There’s less incentive than before for a PC gamer to put money into a console.

Unless your PC is really far away why bother getting a console then having to buy another set of games for it over a simple fiber optic hdmi cable to push a 4k/120 signal?

I’ve seen up to 30M hdmi 2.1 cables which ends up being cheaper. Especially if you already have a gaming PC.

If they do that and Xbox aren’t idiots and take advantage of the high PS6 pricing that could lead to another PS3 early gen fiasco that takes years into the generation to catch up.

Title is weird with how it could be interpreted to mean mtx was $1 billion.

So for people who might be confused

150 million dollars from in-game microtransactions.

Oh sweet finally a competitor with not 1 but 2 TouchPads! I hope this eventually leads to some third party coming out with a steam controller with all the deck inputs.

Living room isn’t a selling point for me since I have a fiber optic hdmi hooked up to the TV that allows me to not have to have my PC next to the TV. All I do is grab a controller and wireless keyboard like the K400.

Getting a console and having to buy games for it would be money wasted for me when I already have a unified library and am able to either play at the desk, play in the livingroom , or continue on from the Steam Deck.

It’s an ecosystem and no need for having to have games for different hardware.

Pretty crazy how they botched the success they had with the 360 so badly. Exclusives was what always mattered to me when it came to consoles and they just haven’t impressed in that department since then. Many quality triple a titles have come out every year but Xbox just couldn’t manage to come up with any new IPs that caught people’s eyes and missed on existing ones even with all that money.

PC is like 3 consoles in one with it getting Xbox games, Sony games on delay, and emulating Nintendo games. Can use mouse or game pad without needing blessing of devs on a game by game basis. And is a productivity device too that can be used for stuff like coding, video editing, 3d modeling, etc.

Why not use the emails you guys already have? I don’t think I or even you guys would want to use an email created by parents, since the username might not even be something they would have chosen for themselves.

Let them have an email when they are old enough to create their own. Use something like simplelogin maybe instead for an alias email instead that still comes to your email but looks separate for relatives it is sent to? I wouldn’t want a premaid email account of my own before I was old enough.

They’ve finally seen the light. Just took several console generations until a console that started consistently delivered options above 30 happened. Now maybe they understand why PC gamers kept begging for PC ports to escape the 30 fps that was forced on them even if they owned a console.

Last season had a good wrap up too so it makes hiatuses not feel painful. Wish shows would go that route over cliff hangers with how shows now take years to get another season and many forget what even happened by the time it returns. More seasons should feel more complete by the end of it even if there are potential storylines to explore in the future.

My PS4 last gen collected dust majority of the year and that had a way stronger library of actual exclusives games released for the system that weren’t remasters. So PS5 and it’s current library of exclusives ignoring that they get released to the PC has been sad. Not been an impressive generation.

Yeah has happened to Alan Wake. Now they decided to just remove the song to hopefully not have to be delisted again.

I’m glad Rockstar is taking the route of trying to only get songs that they won’t have to remove down the line. Should be the move forward for all games. Wish same would happen for racing games too. Would rather have knock off brands over delistings.

I’m tired of games getting songs removed, so I am actually glad Rockstar and hopefully others are going the route of trying to only get songs that won’t end up having to be removed down the line. Not cool getting an update getting a song removed.
