I like to play my games knowing the developers optimized it for exactly the hardware I’m playing on.

I like to play my games on hardware that I picked out and put together personally. Also I like that hardware to be using an OS of my choosing with as much expandable storage as I could possibly want. Also, I don’t like to give my money to companies that encourage exclusivity on their hardware.

Yeah, if you enjoy the process of fiddling around with your system and installing cool new drivers and programs to get your game running then PC gaming is better no doubt.

I just want to turn the game on and play though

Both major consoles literally have multiple versions with differing performance lmfao

As opposed to PC which has infinite variations

Typically they still have performance issues though? I haven’t played on consoles since Xbox 360, other than the odd Nintendo game. I spent thousands of dollars on 360 and PS3 games and hardware and have none of it now. But my entire PC library is still playable.

This is why pirating what you already owned should be morally correct :)

Now the games are attached to your windows and Sony accounts so they’ll follow you around as much as steam games do

I’m with ya. When it’s gaming time, I just want it to work. Not be fiddling with settings constantly.

That being said, I do prefer RPGs and RTSs much more with a keyboard and mouse, but that’s not such a problem any more

Totally, mouse and keyboard are very clutch for those genres

What even is the point, though? The number of games made specifically for the PS5 can be counted on 1 hand and it’s not like those have significant performance issues that warrant even more powerful hardware.

Do any of these bigger numbers mean one would at least be able to play an existing game in 4k with ray tracing at higher than 30fps?

Can it time travel using its negative clock speed?

The current Slim PS5 also doesn’t have a disc drive, you can just buy it in a bundle and attach the optional one.

Honestly for manufacturing this makes way more sense, to ship one SKU and then make them all upgradable to disc. It’s also kind of nice that if you buy a digital one and want disc in the future you can just buy the drive.

This makes me realize, is there a limit on read speeds of disk vs. NVMe?

I’m not sure the disc drive can be saved at this point. There’s big games that didn’t even come out on disc, like BG3.
