I will say, way back in college I had a friend get two $600 graphics cards so he could play Morrowind: Oblivion at max settings. And I was just kinda dumbfounded, cause the upscaling simply wasn’t that good.

Did Oblivion even support SLI/Crossfire?
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
I’m going to say it did, based on the fuzziest of memories from twenty years ago

Oh yeah? Well my $20k PC is better than your $15k PC, peasant.

I remember building the most absolutely expensive PC I could possibly make on PC Part Picker and while it was expensive, it would have sucked for gaming 🤣

PCMR people do not call other PCMR people peasants.

They will be the same people who say, “I only spent a little bit more than a console, but look how much better it is. What’s the point of a console anymore?”

Well nowadays the main argument for me become what to play on console? There no exclusives games anymore so why I would buy it if I can build PC which would be universal tool with ability to play most of old games using emulators and connect gamepad ,and modern games available for PC same as to console
OR3X@lemmy.world 1 day ago
My excuse these days is… I already built the damned thing. If there’s a game I want to play I can just upgrade it for (in most cases) less than the cost of a console + game to play the new game I want. PC gaming offers a lot of flexibility in that way.

I brought the ps5 around when it released. At the time, prices for pc parts were crazy. I decided to get the ps5 due to that, and it was a solid choice at the time. I was finally able to build a PC near the end of 2023 when prices dropped. I wanted a higher end one, so it still cost me around 2k. I love both of them.
As for the exclusives, there were some and even timed ones to me count a little. I played god of war, horizon, and final fantasy rebirth and 16 day one. I also enjoyed astro bot and its follow up, spider man miles, racket and clank, last of us 2, and ghosts of tsushima. Im still on tbe fence of getting ghosts of yotei, but it’s also a limited exclusive. You also have upcoming games like Marvels Wolverine, Intergalactic: the heretic project, and knights of the old republic. Its getting to be less and less, but i also think it has a lot to do with how long it takes for a game to come out on top of not forcing games as much as they used to.

Ghost of Yotei is still a PS5 exclusive (and it’s damn good)

My office (and thus my computer) is between my kids’ bedrooms. If I want to game after they go to bed I either can’t have voice comms or go game on my TV downstairs.
Also, I already spend 8+ hours a day in my office working so I often don’t want to be in there for my decompression time.

Consoles have always been appealing to me due to price and ease of use compared to PCs. It was the trade-off for having a locked-down system. But with the price gouging on both hardware and games nowadays, that advantage has gotten smaller and smaller. I suspect the PS5 was my last console and I’ll be getting lower end gaming PCs from here on out. Consoles just don’t make financial sense any more.
Cort@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Oof, if you think the gouging is bad on consoles, wait till you look at GPU prices. I haven’t owned a console in almost a decade, but the price advantage is still on the console side.
samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Yeah, that’s why I said lower-end gaming PCs. The savings on games and online play is immense over time, especially when you factor in 🏴☠️.

TFW the good games are on console and you dont need to pay 2k to play them.
bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Console hardware has always been a loss leader
bufalo1973@piefed.social 1 day ago
It would be great if consoles could be used as computers, selecting which use you want on boot. With the current console’s power they could be used as a regular computer.
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day ago
So a Steam Deck basically
bufalo1973@piefed.social 1 day ago
Yes. But the other consoles could do it also.
samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
That’s pretty much a Steam Deck. I’m assuming the Fremont will be the same.

Rumor has it that’s what the next gen XBox is going to be.
teslasaur@lemmy.world 1 day ago
If you like to be stuck in the corporate run and shittier sandbox by getting subsidized hardware. Then who am I to stop you.
I’d rather just have both. But obviously pc is the first choice for all things.
