I wish more games copied the way AC Odyssey did waypoints/exploration, I quite enjoyed that system =w=

It’s not inherently related to the post, but I think it’s one of the things in assassin’s creed games that was executed well but seemingly largely unrecognized/forgotten

I have my PC hooked up to the TV via HDMI, and I had no issues gaming on it with my dualshock 4 controller either :3. I’ve not dabbled too much into casting/streaming video from desktop to TV

(Plus I found the software for controllers on PC to offer way more capabilities/power than what I could do on the playstation, which is nice as I play all my games on controller even when sitting at my desk)

Yis. We love the ability to make choices here :3

I just like steam for convenience tbh. I know buying from something like gog would be better in terms of ownership of media, but steam offers a lot of stuff I use on a daily basis at this point and it’s hard to give that up =w=

As someone who switched from console to PC, the experience is night and day =w=

Every time I think about replaying a game I have on console I end up thinking “ehhh, but I don’t want to deal with not having all the features I want, and booting up the console/noise” etc. If I want to replay something waiting for a steam sale and buying it again unironically feels more worth it, than playing the copy I own and dealing with all the limitations

I mean… I’d definitely rather have a steam machine over a ps5… the general public from what I’ve seen haven’t had the best opinions on it tho. I suppose it’s to be seen how it shakes out long(er) term

I mean, the only thing keeping them alive is honestly the fact they’re sold as a loss. If they ever for whatever reason stop doing that, they will probably just die, cause otherwise they’re just worse than getting a regular computer =w=

Though with the price increases and with the decline of AAA quality they might just die despite that, who knows

To be honest, I think they were potentially planning or wanting to only go with the digital-only ps5, but after seeing backlash to the idea they went with both the diskless and disk-drive ps5’s to “test the waters” as it were. There’s been a few digital only consoles like the psp go, and the diskless xbox one s, but those as far as I remembered underperformed in terms of sales numbers. If the digital-only ps5 sold well enough or if they observed a general trend of people buying digital on the ps5 it could’ve been the deciding factor that has made them more confident in going forward with it

I mean, they’ve been trying it since gen 7, I don’t know how it’s a major surprise to anyone who has any interest in console gaming

Anywho, as someone who was primarily a console gamer when I was a kid, getting a gaming PC was probably the best gaming investment I’ve made; the experience is just way better in every way

Hey, give them some credit, they have some diversity - there’s place in europe, new place in europe, mispronounced place in europe, british ruler, catholic saint in spanish, american president, explorer related to america, and of course native american place/tribe, and random native american word
