I’m actually shocked how low 360/ps3 are.

I felt like everyone I know has at least owned one, and they where more consoles where actually used as Netflix boxes back then out of necessity due to lack of good smart TVs or set top boxes.

Plus they had an extra 5 years of being around, not to count the fact most early adopters bought another twice, especially with the 360 due to RROD.

PineRune,

I think the big difference is the older generation of gaming didn’t have to compete with every kid having a tablet they could just play games on.

SkunkWorkz,

I think the Wii stole the momentum. PS3 and 360 were just crazy expensive compared to the Wii and the prev gen of consoles. And unlike PS2 those two consoles lacked a lot of games for kids. So for parents it was an easy decision to just get a Wii. Not to mention if you already had a PS2 you had a large library of games at your disposal and the machine was modable, it’s why it still sold very well in the end of the console’s lifetime especially in middle income regions, like it sold super well in South America. So many PS2 owners weren’t going to convert to PS3, just way too expensive and can’t play pirated games.

magic_smoke,

I think that last part hits it hardest. Especially when you consider most of the 360’s sales where US.

BigBananaDealer,

they were still making soccer games for the ps2 until like 2014

Older and or used hardware is gonna be a place to start for CPU and GPU. Used dell optiplex can get you most of the way there, then buy a decent GPU when you can. Just make sure it fits in the case and the PSU that comes with the optiplex can handle the power draw. I’d recommend a new PSU though. Dont buy used for PSU or storage is the best advice I can give.

Optiplex are not gonna get you top of the line performance or anything but it’ll be a lot better than nothing and you can always use it for something else later like a nas, a server, home theater PC, etc.

Wasn’t Game Pass like $6/mo on PC not too long ago? Who’s paying $20 for this crap? The game selection isn’t even that good.

I haven’t had an issue with this at all. I’d say over 50% of the time, if I communicate with other players that I don’t intend to kill them, we end up working together.

artyom,

50% is way too low

  1. This indeed sucks if you came just for loot but it leads to different experiences, once you realize there is no loot you can PvP, PvE or simply exfil and try again, that’s the beauty of extraction shooters
  2. Agree, they need to fix pops spawn
  3. Kinda agree, can’t say exfil camping is a big issue. The only badly designed exit is metro in the city
  4. Seeds is something you get for each round from Scrappy regardless of win/loose so that you can buy basic crafting materials from Celest regardless of how good/lucky you are
  5. Movement is not perfect but better than in any other extraction shooters I played. Stones are always problem, only Battlefield have them better. But overall it’s ok.
  6. No it’s not. I had few disconnects and was able to rejoin the match with 0 loss

Lights or rather lack of them is bigger issue for me. Rats sitting in dark corners with shotguns is almost always death sentence. I understand the realism but I can’t see shit in buildings. That’s why I stopped playing Buried City.

I wish it was 1st person shooter.

I think devs realized that they can’t pull off a good story with PvE so they added PvP. Someone didn’t get what they expected, others (like me) got what they wanted.

I solved this problem by getting an OLED monitor 😂

Microsoft really shit the bed. And then continued to do so. This makes me happy.

Switching to Bazzite (a Linux Distro, made for gaming). No Ragrets so far

jacksilver,

I don’t think bazzite runs on ARM macs.

It looks like it doesn’t support ARM architecture systems at all, or anything other than x86_64.

docs.bazzite.gg/…/Hardware_compatibility_for_gami…

Minimum System Requirements

  • Architecture: x86_64
jacksilver,

Yeah, I figured that hadn’t changed, but was too lazy to actually look up the source, thanks for adding it.

However, with box64 you can emulate x86_64 on arm, however I think macs don’t have the gpu integration. Crazy thing is on some phones with snapdragon chips you can emulate games up to cyberpunk 2077 decently well.

Honestly thought Ubisoft was the biggest European games company, but it ain’t even close.

It sounds like you're upset that a game that clearly put a lot of focus on PvP in its design, has PvP in it. I'm not sure it's fair to blame the game because you expected something else.

Play old games, I guess? Arc Raiders is one of the only new games I’ve played in a long time. Recently got an Xbox one to play the golden age cod games.

lol Ubi. Why are they still treated as one of the big ones? Like Mojang alone is probably way more valuable than Ubi in total. They basically double A now and they should probably focus on double A productions. Also their market cap is even lower today they are a sub billion euro company now.

The Prototype series.

Uh… I mean there’s Halo Wars, which lets you play as Covenant leaders in certain modes (in 2 there’s a DLC storyline where you play as the aliens again, but not against the humans). The UNSC is basically the US Army In Space.

Aside from that I’m not sure. There’s probably plenty of mods for other games though. Like GMod, there are tons of NPCs and such in the steam workshop, plenty of US military characters to choose from. You can then load into a map, set up a spawner (or spawn them in yourself), and start blasting. I did actually do something like this back when the George Floyd protests were going on: I went in the game, spawned in a bunch of cop NPCs and just started blasting and mowing them down.

It actually did feel pretty good, tbh.

bearboiblake,

Garry’s Mod is genuinely a pretty good idea, might give that a shot!

It’s an epic game and it’s fun as hell. Just not something for you I guess.
