Reply to Xbox or PS5 by Stankie_6504

Don’t think there’s any wrong answer, but we’d need to know a bit more about you to cater which console is best. In my opinion, I typically pick based off 2 things:

  1. Game where my friends play. I buy a system based off where my friends play, as nothing is better then having a game night to blow off some steam. Most my friends/family/co-workers game on one platform and that’s the system I bought.
  2. Game where my games are. Both consoles share a lot of the same games, but both have exclusive games that some like more then the other. Maybe write a list of all the top 10 games you want to play and categorized it by most important to least. Those top games are going to consume a ton of your time.

But I think it’s pointless comparing little things like specs, features, controllers, etc simply because there’s so many micro differences, so many options, some of it is simply preference, what matters is the above.

So what kind of games have you enjoyed in the past, and what kind of games are you looking forward to playing?

Immediately prior to trying this game, I had been playing a stealthy bow user in Skyrim which seemed to do it better. For a game that seemed focused on bow combat, I was flabbergasted the arrows had no physics! They would shoot in a straight line without drop.

For some reason that totally killed the game for me.

No I use 2 screens while gaming. One with the game the other with Discord, a map or data.

I would feel a bit lost while pc gaming on just one screen.

Fine for console games but there is generally have a different mindset.

I mean, possibly?

but you're only ever going to have 6 options to choose from when trying to read it. After all, you're just counting the dots, as with all dice?

and even then, a 6 looks a lot busier than a 1...

Even if it takes a second longer, I can't imagine anyone being completely bamboozled by this?

Reply to comment by [deleted] in MW2 Is Slowly Becoming More and More Pathetic by [deleted]

  1. Your really pushing the stereotypes of "girls don't play/like this" when I'm sure a fuck ton of girls enjoy 40k.

  2. I'm not looking at 40k stuff to see what is fuckable, I see what is good to play.

  3. The flags were in the game since the beginning and these problems slowly piled up after, so no, they didn't contribute to the nonexitent fixes.

Nah, it usually messes with the UI, plus you'd be sitting further away so I dunno how much you actually benefit from it. If you're sitting in front of a 27" monitor you've basically got your screen covering every useful part of your visual field anyway. I see no benefit unless you want to sit on a couch with a controller, and I prefer keyboard + mouse.

Reply to Console Manufacturers Will Switch To 3-4 Year Upgrade Cycles Like PCs, Says CMA by Darren-B80

the biggest issue is current hardware availability. how do these companies expect people to get on next gen when they couldnt even get the last gen? just like gpu's. eventually manufacturing will catch up, market will be flooded with hardware. in the mean time people will hold on to past gens longer bc its more available. eventually all those old games will run out.
