This is terrible advice. The OLED model is better across the board. The risk of burn-in is also wildly overstated.

The only reason to get the original model would be price.

Don’t get me wrong, I have an original and it’s great. I don’t consider the OLED model enough of an upgrade to justify the extra cost but I wouldn’t think twice if I was getting my first.

Same here. That’s the reason I haven’t played Alan Wake 2.

This is obviously due to personal choices, so take everything I say here as things I care about - not necessarily that I expect everybody else to care about.

It’s not “a different exe”. It’s got Epic’s DRM - meaning it’s tied to the Epic Store, its continuous service, etc. If they fold, I lose access to the games I have on it. In all fairness, I don’t think they will fold any time soon but it still worries me.

With Steam not as much, for a couple reasons: they’re bigger so slightly less likely to fold; they’re not publicly listed so they answer to Gabe Newell and don’t have any legal requirement to increase share value; they promote and put a lot of time, sweat and money towards Linux gaming; and their store is just generally better than Epic’s.

Epic, on the other hand, is actively hostile to Linux gamers: you can’t even play Fortnite on it, they have no native store/launcher; and they don’t have any of the pros of Steam.

Furthermore, I already own more games than I will probably be able to play in my lifetime, so it’s not like I’m “missing an opportunity” by skipping a game that’s on the Epic store. :)

makes the “hackers” scummy

Don’t get me wrong, you’re right that this is bad but I’d think the blackmailing alone would make them scummy.

Funnily enough, this is the first time a game’s NG+ actual felt compelling to me with how it’s actually part of the story and the workings of the universe.

The game we should have had at launch is one where my >100h save wouldn’t make it crash on load.

You also get console or better performance with similarly priced hardware

That’s not my experience. I get much better performance at higher resolutions on my PS5 than I do on my 2.5x more expensive PC.

To get a little closer in performance, the GPU alone would have to be more expensive than the whole console.

That build is at $530 with discounts. Add $70 for a DualSense 2 and it’s $600.

A Digital PS5 retail is $500, so the PC here is 20% more expensive. If you get the PS5 on a discount (the compared PC is discounted), the difference could go up to about 40%.

On top of that, I guarantee you that its real world performance is not on par to that of a PS5. My own PC has better RAM, better CPU, better GPU and better SSD and it’s still not quite there.

Again, to get comparative real world performance you’ll need to spend at least as much as the console on the GPU alone.

It’s not. Most interplanetary travel can be done without leaving the cockpit screen. Activate the scanner, point at your destination, press A, then X.
