MODERATORS
This is why I hate consoles. The only "consoles" I would use are PC-based, such as Steam Deck or self-built desktop PC with SteamOS.
This way I am not locked, games are cheaper and I can move/sync game save.
In fairness, I was using my Bluetooth headphones on my deck the other day and had to switch to external audio because the latency, slight as it was, was utterly messing with my ability to play Black Mesa.
that's Bluetooth for ya
At least they treat you like an adult and give you the choice to use bluetooth, even if it may give you a lesser experience with latency.
I agree.
If there's something console exclusive that I want, I just emulate it. I don't have the best computer, so it's still a better experience on a real console (if it's a new game, obviously), but it's good for trying to see if I'll like the game or not.
Console-only players love to tell that their console is much cheaper than PC, but what they don't tell:
Xbox users, when SSD fails, they can't replace it. They have to bring it to authorized repair service for SSD change for ~$200-$300.
Playstation, if you jailbreak it AND play online - Sony will permaban your account (I have personal experience from this). Which means - I will never ever buy Sony console again.
So what I am trying to tell that consoles (xbox/ps) are basically a scam.
Handheld PCs are good way to go. The Steam Deck created the competition from different OEMs making Windows handheld PCs.
Hey, SOME console games support mods now. Skyrim in particular has console compatible mods.
I agree
I really hope someday we will have some way to transfer digital games between platforms
