The port for part one is in pretty good shape now, just played through it a few weeks ago. I’m playing part two now on pc and it’s mostly been fine but still has some kinks to be worked out (a few crashes, some occasional visual issues). Performance is also a bit rough for part 2 where it seemed fine on my system for part 1.
lol what’s not good about the last of us 2? It’s an excellent story, really engaging gameplay, great storytelling, it’s evocative, gorgeous, gruesome, poignant, sad as hell, has tons of depth, great characters, cohesive and interesting themes, great sound, voice acting…you really can’t ask for much more from a game.
I loved it. From what I read, most of the hate for the game stem from Joel’s death, Abby’s arms, or the fact that Ellie went from baby girl to rampaging lesbian. Basically people who can’t handle deviations from their perfect world and appreciate the game, story and characters for what they are. You covered that very well in your comment.
Wrong you moronic pos. I bought Tlou2 to continue Ellie story instead they force us to play Abby who we have 0 connection with and who killed our beloved Joel. If the game was marketed that you would barely play as Ellie I wouldn’t have bought it.
You shit heads always try to turn this around like if the hate comes from being sexiest. But in reality you come off as ignorant pieces of shit.
GPUs aren’t expensive though. Consumers just believe they need a brand new 5090tellytubby edition overclocked 128gb to run basic games. When a super cheap 3070ti would do just fine, or even a $300~ 3060 or AMD equivalent for cheaper.
When I build a new computer sometime in the next year or so, I’ll probably end up buying the second-best AMD card available at the time, because that’s where there tends to be the best bang for my buck. But in reality, I’ll be using the full power of that card for only a handful of games over the lifetime of that machine, and I’ll spend most of my time playing a 2D game that came out in 2012. Yeah, you can absolutely get away with cheaper cards and have a great time.
Good luck getting one, hardware has been practically non-existent lately. At least for anything other than scalper prices. I hope that this trend doesn’t continue too much longer.
I built my last PC in 2021 just accepting that graphics card prices would never come down anytime soon, and I paid about $1400 for one. They did come down, not long after. I can wait more patiently this time.
I got a used 2080 Ti about a year ago and pretty much everything runs great in 1440p, not on top graphics but I don’t really need that. Don’t even see a reason to upgrade with all these crazy prices.
I have a PC that I mainly use for video/RAW photo processing. 7950x, 7600xt, Linux. I still game on it more than on my PS5 or Switch. Really hard to buy games on the PS5 or Switch when they’re so much cheaper on PC. Plus how much years of paying for PS+ adds up to. 7 years of PS+ Extra is a gaming PC
I prefer gaming on a TV and the simplicity of putting a game in and it just works on console, which is why I’ve always mainly been a console peasant. I’ve always also gamed on PC, but as more of a side thing. These prices, though…gaming is rapidly becoming too expensive for the average person to keep up with playing the newest stuff. PCs are a higher up front cost, but the open nature of the platform means you have a lot more flexibility with how you can obtain games.
The PS4 Slim was released 3 years after the original model and sold for $100/100,-€ less than the original.
The PS3 Slim released ~3 years after the original model and was significantly cheaper (to be fair, it also had a lot of features removed).
The PS5 saw a Slim model release with no price cut at all, and now they’re planning to actually increase the price of over 4 year old tech that is almost certainly a lot cheaper to produce than 4 years ago, especially the Slim model that saw a reduction in cooler size, lower-powered PSU and other cost-reduction measures.
Gaming is becoming less and less accessible and more and more of a luxury.

Lots of people do their gaming on their phone or PC. And on the subject of phones, look at the top-spec models: they cost thousands, because some people have the disposable income to burn. There are still plenty of affordable options available if you don’t fixate on having the latest best everything.

The writing has been on the wall for a while that I’m going to have to move away from consoles and game mainly on PC, where there are other options for obtaining games. Walled gardens all having Apple pricing is unacceptable to me.
It’s not like the PC market is in great shape either, though. I mean I’m sure it’s fine if you’re mostly playing indie games that are not too visually demanding and taxing on the hardware, but it is insanely expensive to buy a good computer these days that can play newer games in good quality. Even with the price increases, a GPU alone will run you the cost of a PS5 or more, maybe even double.
Or maybe that’s just it, maybe there won’t be a noticeable gen bump for a long time, since no one can afford it. Time to start focusing on how to make hardware cheaper instead of better.
If you don’t care about bleeding edge 8k visuals at 240fps, the pricing becomes more reasonable. I’m fine with 1080p 60fps, which allows for a cheaper GPU to run games decently. And you can’t deny that as far as game pricing is concerned, PC is far more consumer-friendly than console, even if you don’t take piracy into account.
For me they’re still on par in terms of game pricing because PC still doesn’t have the advantage of physical media that you can buy used or borrow for free. But the console makers seem to be doing everything in their power to kill that advantage, with Nintendo’s “game key card” being the latest move in the all-digital direction.
Not to mention it being a moot point with Nintendo anyways since they’ve figured out the magic formula of keeping their games in a permanent state of high demand and short supply, effectively ensuring they never come down in price.
