jordanlund, (edited ) do gaming w Hello, PC gaming here: Are the consoles OK?
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

I picked up a Steam Deck to get into PC gaming and frankly, I don’t get it. So many games not even worth the bandwidth to download much less actually play.

Edit Example:

Steam users aren’t known for great taste in games.

And yeah, since Fry’s shut down, I haven’t thought about building a PC again. No Microcenter around here either.

“Console sales are down. Circana analyst Mat Piscatella marked a 26% decline in spending on current-generation consoles this April compared to last April.”

We’re 4 years into the generation, sales declines aren’t uncommon, but this gen has had unique challenges:

  1. Covid fucked it all up. Supply chain issues screwed availability, software engineering ganked game development.
  2. Too much emphasis on “Cross Gen”. Why would someone scramble to get a hard to find PS5 or Xbox Series when the same game is out on PS4/Xbox One X?

Long generations are kind of the new thing, starting with Xbox 360/PS3. Previously they were around 5 years and people are looking for the next machines now.

First, it was on the Xbox 360 but looked like an Xbox game.

Second, the plot was so hackneyed. Literally every event was telegraphed by miles.

Do people still care about Dragon Age?

I played 1, was underwhelmed. People made lame excuses for it like “Oh, but it wasn’t developed by Bioware’s a-list team…”

Then 2 stunk up the joint.

I don’t even REMEMBER 3.

I can’t wait for the first MadLad to get it working with the SteamDeck.

Answer should have been simple:

“Historically, the console version comes first, so lets take things one at a time. Get the console version out the door, deal with any bugs that arise, maybe an expansion or two, then we’ll announce the PC port, not before.”

Gabe used to work for Microsoft, I can’t imagine he’s eager to repeat.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabe_Newell

“He attended Harvard University in the early 1980s but dropped out to join Microsoft, where he helped create the first versions of the Windows operating system. He and another employee, Mike Harrington, left Microsoft in 1996 to found Valve, and funded the development of their first game, Half-Life (1998). Harrington left in 2000.”

One of my favorites was Project Gotham, but they shuttered that studio in favor of Forza which just isn’t as good.

If you don’t know how to use one, make sure you put masking tape on the edge until you’re comfortable with it.

You can buy dull trainers too.

When a new generation starts, I hook it up in the living room, move the previous gen to the bedroom, and mothball the oldest gen.

So when I kick off, my kid, or grand kids, are going to discover organized boxes of gaming gear. I’m sure it will be all over whatever passes for social media then. :)

Currently:

Living Room - PS5, Xbox Series X, Steam Deck Dock.

Bedroom - PS4, Xbox One X, Switch.

I don’t think PSN applied to the PS2, started with the PS3.

And it’s still out selling the Xbox…

“meaning the other 59 million must still be using the PlayStation 4.”

That’s not what that means.

As of last December there were still 2 million active PS3 users.

I’d imagine there’s still a limited number of PS Vita and PSTV accounts too.

I’ve been saying this for years now ever since they pulled out of Gamescom and just let Sony have Europe.

When was that? 2016?

Or even before that… 2012, bailing on BOTH Gamescom AND Tokyo Game Show:
