Except that a PC with modern specs costs over $2k to build. Comparing PCs to Consoles is a fools errand, yes of course it’s way better, because my gaming PC also cost five times as much to build.
I bought a PS5 earlier this year that’s just collecting dust. I guess I didn’t realize or appreciate until after purchase that there is very few actual PS5 titles. There is no way in hell I would consider a PS5 Pro with their current library.
Yeah that’s a fair point. But you should still be able to play offline. I’m not much of an online gamer anyways.
Yeah I think we’ve learned by now that if you can’t touch it, you don’t own it. I’m tired of “leasing” software.
Sega Master System. A kid never forgets his first video game system, and nothing has quite scratched that itch ever since.
It’s got to be pretty god damn insulting for sure.
I currently live in a province in Canada, that is currently ruled by a government that is governing under what’s basically an MO of Covid and vaccine revenge.
There’s no hope for humanity. Absolutely none. That’s my lesson from Covid. The majority of the people around me, my neighbours, etc, are basically all incapable of logical thought and highly susceptible to disinformation and rogue actors.
If you think about it, DOS still would do pretty much all you need. Everyone’s friggin too lazy anymore though, and enjoys being bombarded with bloat.
It’s friggin sad that most fingers are pointing to either side accusing each other of all sorts of shit, when they should be instead pointed towards about 100 people, and a system. The government is just a distraction, and a subterfuge, while the 1% absolutely raids everything else. Trump vs Biden isn’t the thing we should be focused on right now. It’s the population vs the Corporate West.
GT2 is getting a little tough on the eyes, but holy cow when that game came out was it ever the cars meow.
FM2 is probably the same, it’s more nostalgia for me than anything. FM4 was pretty great too for sure. I have my 360 downstairs, but it’s unhooked at the moment. There’s pretty good emulation these days, you might be able to play it that way.
Honestly they can just go ahead and turn off FM8. What a piece of shit that game is. It’s so bad. Like how can you literally fuck up a slam dunk that badly? They could have issued a slightly reskinned and updated FM7, and it would have been fine. But no.
GT2 and FM2 (and FM4 I guess too) for the forever win!
As a Calgarian, it was a joy to watch the Last of Us. After years of stumbling across the sets throughout the city, the anticipation was something else (plus I really love the game). It somehow exceeded all expectations. Bummer about it going to Vancouver for season 2 though #vancouversoft
Yes. Just move on and make new games worth playing, instead of rehashing the past. And more often than not, fucking it up in the process. Only our modern society would accept and accommodate a remade game that’s 100% worse than the original.
Why does this matter? Do we need to appease the shareholders or something? Do we need endless month over month growth, lest the world completely stops turning?
Do we need SYNERGIES??!!!?
They’ve had that standby mode for a few years for sure (I mostly use PS, but Xbox will have the same). I don’t know why though, for whatever reason after a while it just stops working. Might be the routers cycling or whatever, but it’ll stay on standby forever, but when you login there’s still a sea of updates and most stuff is unable to be played. I hear you on the multiplayer requirements and whatever too, personally I’m never a multiplayer. I’d accept the risks of a game being out of date if it just allowed me to skip updating.
For real, or at least without forced updates.
My biggest, biggest pet peeve of the PS4/PS5 era, is this. I’m in my 40s, I’m a senior management level professional, I’m on some boards, I’ve got very young kids. The amount of times I get to sit down and just go ahhhhh and fire up the PlayStation, number in the very low single digits each quarter. This means my PlayStation has to update what feels like two hundred thousand things, and I just want to play a god damn game. Nope, I have to update the new system software, have to update the games update, something for the sound, it literally feels like it never ends. So my three free hours turns into me throwing the controller and just moving on to something else more often than not, only for the cycle to repeat. It’s infuriating.
Ditto. I skipped PS5. Would have bought one, but they wanted to play games with their customers, so…
It’s all just a giant pissing contest at this point. Both are good. I prefer AMD, but Intel builds are cool too.
I’m on a replay of the single player campaign, and since this update the map is laggy as hell, and it’s dropping frames like crazy.
