    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 can’t be bothered turning my gaming pc these days, ps5 and switch2 have games I am more interested in playing and can just play on the couch

    There is something I can’t explain about the experience on console which is better than dealing with PC even if they are also hooked up to the TV

    For me we have already reached the point where graphics improvements no longer matter, I just prefer the polished experience and quality standards of exclusives

      I guess that makes sense if you already have one. I don’t see why anyone would buy a console for the first time now though. My 13 inch laptop is just as portable as a modern handheld console and if I had a TV it would be easier to just connect my laptop than deal with an extra device.

      Plus there are thousands of PC exclusive games spanning over 40 years plus basically every console exclusive before the current generation via emulators vs what maybe a hundred exclusive to current consoles?

        I don’t get how that makes sense, the price of everything is going up

        It’s not like ps5 is going up while PCs are staying the same price

        Can’t get the games I am interested in playing these days on PC

        Most PS5 first party games are not available on PC at launch, none will be going forward

            No they are not, Ghost of Yotei and Saros aren’t

            Also the ports are hit or miss, why wouldn’t I just play them on the platform the developers targeted?

              Because the platform the developers targeted is bullshit. Stop supporting it and maybe they’ll make better choices.

                You telling me that PC ports are always as polished and performant as console releases?

                I don’t want a PC to play games, get over it and stop trying to rope everyone in to your crusade

                  There shouldn’t be any ports in the first place.

                  get over it and stop trying to rope everyone in to your crusade

                  I will never stop trying to get people to make better decisions for themselves, and for everyone else. So don’t ask.
