I had a fairly powerful PC when Crysis came out and wasn't that fussed on the game and it still didn't run that well. Half Life 2 in late 2004 was better, at least in my opinion, and was really worth building a new PC for at the time, again in my opinion. It also had a decent online deathmatch mode released shortly after.
PC will usually always give better performance and highest quality/resolution over a console for the multiplat games, with exception of crap ports...
There's also people who want to do more than just game on their PC, like using it for content creation such as video editing etc.
Top of the line is rarely good value for performance, you go for the parts that give most performance for the money, when it's possible of course, like Intel 13600k or 13700k make far more sense than a 13900k since you're most of the way there and saving a good amount of money.
With GPUs that's difficult at the moment, at least with the 4000 series from NGreedia anyway.
I tried one via an emulator once. Did not like it. IMO Custom Robo Arena had far better gameplay that had full real time combat control. Turn based games that i actually liked are very few and far between, like Worms 2 & Armageddon with their online play.
Yeah most racing games tend to try to copy Mario Kart instead of DKR, Mario Kart mission mode on DS was decent, DKR was still better for the amount of variety though.
Variety is better than just having a standard race only mode. Looks like Crash Team Racing is quite close to DKR than to MK, so people who like DKR would probably like CTR.
Fighting games are too shallow, they were good at first.. up til around Tekken 3 and Soul Calibur on Dreamcast, because they had a ton of extra modes and challenges and stuff. Everything after is basically the same, or with even less content.
Yup but even tho I had a SNES and N64 I was still emulating N64 on my first PC in 1999, then playing SNES games with my friend online via ZSNES netplay in 2002.
As Porkchop said, Quest 2 is great, and for titles like HL Alyx and whatever Valve are cooking up next. The only issue for VR is that it has little choice of big budget titles, and I'm not sure I see that changing with slow adoption or not that many buying in.
Quest 2 is great tbh, have a decent PC? Wireless or wired tether to your computer to play any VR game, and better pixel density and little glare vs the Index.
Will be interesting if people get the PSVR2 working on PC tho.
Even if they did it's fairly easily bypassed anyways.
XP, 7 and 10 have been solid for me. But i would disable fast startup, hibernation etc.. It causes problems like graphical glitches sometimes when browsing or watching videos and stuff, or just hit restart, because shut down isn't even a proper shut down anymore like it used to be.
The game got quite good praise here too. Might have to get it either for PS5 or PC.
No option for 100+hz users, 60fps capped. That's not bad, but a bummer for those who have high refresh displays on PC.
@CantThinkOfAUsername to be fair it's not hard to have decent (not even high end) respectable specs without breaking the bank, and you'd need to upgrade less often if you play at 1080p or something instead of 4k.
The PC recommended requirements aren't even high at all.. so anyone with even a half decent PC would be better off getting that version instead if they don't have a PS5 or Series X.
Nah the Vita started off fairly strong. The problem was that they stopped support and then it lacked new games.
I really see no point in games every year with such small differences, the sooner they have something revolutionary like AI learning or trained AI the better. I'm surprised no game has implemented it yet, as I'm sure there were articles about testing such things out to control bots in one or two games years ago.

SA2 was my favourite, SA was pretty good too except the last boss was a little disappointingly easy. Anyways 7 is not a bad score by any means, it falls in the good range, and someone's 7 could easily be another's 6 or even 8. Tastes vary.
Snobbery comes with everything tho, like those who would refuse to watch a movie because it got a 7 instead of an 8, no thinking brain for themselves so have to rely on what others think.
It's capable in certain ways, Mario Party Superstars looks and runs great.
However, when developers want to push and have some exclusives and especially multiplats running well on it, it falls behind too much. This is what happens because Nintendo skimps on their hardware for the sake of more money.
In an ideal world there would be a new system every 3-4 years, especially for a handheld device that can't be as powerful as a console or half decent ...
Trash series. The combat in these games is extremely boring too, Custom Robo Arena is far better, and for turn based the Worms games on PC.
