  But ps4 is old, yes? Does it still get new games? And can you just give me your disc and then it’s my game? If yes, I can’t imagine that this would be around any longer. You must not own things.

  My wife has a switch and this thing is just shit. Expensive crap games bound to your account. Most are just codes anyway.

    PS4 still gets new games, yes. Even physical ones.

      Nice. But still. This will end in the next 1-2yrs I assume, as one is urged to upgrade to the ps5?

        Then why ask if all games will run offline forever? You clearly don’t care if your games will run offline forever if you think that the next console has any bearing on the matter.

        You must be young. I still have my PlayStation 2 from when I was a kid. Works with every game I ever got for it. Same for n64, game boy, etc.

    Dude purple are still checking out ps4 games at the library. Old and good are not mutually exclusive. Usually we only remember the good old stuff. Music, movies, books, you name it

      True. Yet when I tried to replay games I have the fondest of memories of, it often is just 99% nostalgia. Seeing all the flaws, the horrible ui, the missing QoL we just expect nowadays l etc. I don’t care much for gfx, but it’s hard to really get into those again. Music, yeah sure. Good music does not age. Movies…depends. Some age horribly 😁 For books I rarely find time, but they’re timeless too.

        our imaginations were doing a lot more than we gave them credit for with some of those old ones.

    Switch is still offline… you can play any game you got on a cartridge for forever with no problems, what are you drinking dude?

      Unless we’re talking Switch 2 game key cards. Those are just downloads you can trade. But at least Nintendo puts all of their own properties on full carts rather than game key cards (Pokopia aside; Gamefreak and Pokemon are technically not Nintendo).

      I don’t drink. But also don’t use the switch. Also I said most games are codes in a box with no cartridge. She only has one damn thing on a cartridge. Considering how much we paid for that tiny console and how expensive the games are, I wouldn’t touch those with a 10m-pole. Would pay a bit more and get a steamdeck if I absolutely HAD to be mobile.

        $780 is not a “bit” more.

    I’m a big fan of the switch, since it can be emulated. Best way to play console games… wait a few years and have pretty much all of them.

      Can it? That’s cool but I somehow wouldn’t know why? For the exclusives? Are there even some? Isn’t the only benefit of a switch to be super mobile? An emulator would be my 1st choice, but also defeats the whole purpose of a switch.

        You’d literally just said the Switch was shit, which makes it sort of weird for you to follow that up with gripes that emulating those games in better quality would be less mobile.

        You’re not nerding hard enough. It’s ok, we slow down as we get older sometimes. If you have a nice connection at home and abroad you can use anything as a screen. You can play any PC game or emulated game running on your PC at home and streaming to a phone/tablet/screen connected to a bluetooth controller or one of those cases that snap around and add controls like a switch or steamdeck if you feel like it.

        Aside from that, yes, of course Nintendo consoles have a lot of great exclusives. They always have. That’s not something new in the last several decades. The last several Zelda games have been amazing, and I’d much rather be playing them on a massive screen having been rendered at a much better resolution.
