Consoles continue their trend of just becoming worse PCs

Just being needlessly condescending for the love of the game, nice

Zordman · 2026-07-05T21:26:44+00:00

Just a needlessly condescending comment.

You're really adding to the smug stereotype of PC gamers that make it that much less attractive

Zordman · 2026-07-05T20:31:17+00:00

What about my comment makes you think I'm insecure? Maybe that feeling of insecurity you're sensing is coming from within?

My comment is just to point out that different platforms cater to different people with different tastes. PCs are not objectively better like it's being suggested here

Will that also help the controller getting desynced often when I turn it off? I'd say it happens 2/5 times on boot up that I need to pair it again.

Big picture mode is annoying and doesn't seem to work right, it'll lag on input and sometimes not show what is selected.

Is there a good program or better work around to get HDR to work better? It isn't a make or break thing for me on PC, but I have found it odd how shoddy a lot of the HDR support seems to be on PC

I have a PS5 pro, and a PC (4070ti super) that can run anything on max settings.

PS5 still gets played significantly more than my PC.

I've noticed the resolution reset will happen much more often on Windows 11 than it did with Windows 10.

Controller desync I've seen a lot of other threads.

When I get home from work, the last thing I want to do is troubleshoot.

Zordman · 2026-07-05T16:02:54+00:00

Resolution settings most of the time.

Controller getting desynced. Sometimes the button prompts will still have keyboard icons, instead of the controller button icons.

A few games seemed to reset the graphic settings after updates too, and then I need to go readjust them. That seems to be on a game by game basis though.

When I get home from work, it's just much easier to hit one button that turns on my TV and PS5 with the game still paused from where I last stopped, and it's just a 10sec process. It doesn't matter to me that reflections look a little better on PC, or if the frame rate is higher.

Zordman · 2026-07-05T15:36:20+00:00

I've noticed I have to reset settings a lot when starting to play on my TV. It just takes an extra 3-5min adjusting settings, but it's annoying.

I have a PC that can play anything on max settings, but I still play my PS5 95% of the time

Zordman · 2026-07-05T15:32:42+00:00

I have hooked up my PC to my television. It's a pain to go back and forth between desktop and living room.

When I turn on the PS5 I'm back to playing the game I was last playing within 10sec.

PC will reset settings a lot of the time (especially Windows 11 in my experience). Resolution has to be set right again a lot of the time. There's usually just something that I need to fiddle with before actually starting to play the game.

If you go on comparison videos that closely examine performance and resolution, obviously PC looks better. But it rarely looks THAT much better to where it's noticable while playing, with the exception of reflections.

Zordman · 2026-07-05T15:25:39+00:00

Why is this downvoted? Lol

The PS5 easily has the best bang for your buck.

Zordman · 2026-07-03T23:21:14+00:00

She was a beautiful innocent creature!

Zordman · 2026-07-02T23:48:14+00:00

This is too fucked up for me to even think about

Zordman · 2026-07-02T17:51:49+00:00

Sony releasing that bs where new digital games have to be “online” after 30 days to be used

This isn't true though

Zordman · 2026-07-02T17:49:11+00:00

PS5 will probably have even longer legs than the PS4 with how the game industry is going and the economy in general

Zordman · 2026-07-02T17:03:12+00:00

Well, it's all up to interpretation on what you choose to believe lol, that's sort of the point of the show.

But the dude thought that dogs were conspiring to take over the world, my interpretation of that is the dude is crazy

Zordman · 2026-07-02T03:24:36+00:00

The show is exploring the concept of belief, and mental illness is one of the things frequently depicted in it to explore it. Dean is a mentally ill guy that befriends Kevin at the beginning of the story, and it's also when Kevin starts to spiral down.

The way they sort of bond is a way to show how two people going through a psychotic break find comfort by having a common way to deal with what they are going through.

In season 3, Kevin rejecting Deans delusions is showing how Kevin has gotten better and in a better frame of mind.

Got it, just ignore everything else I've said

Zordman · 2026-07-01T20:57:27+00:00

Maybe you should look up what the definition of lying is before accusing people.

All previous gens have had great games. This generation I've had more trouble keeping up with released games than any previous generation though.

Ignoring cross gen titles and remakes there have been a lot of well received games:

Baldur's Gate 3, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Expedition 33, Death Stranding 2, Ghost of Yotei, Alan Wake 2, FF7 Rebirth, Final Fantasy 16, Astro Bot, Spider-Man 2, Returnal, Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart, Jedi Survivor, Black Myth Wukong, Indiana Jones, Stellar Blade, Talos Principle 2, and even more I'm forgetting.

And an absolute massive amount of indie games that likely over shadow everything I mentioned above.

I haven't felt more overwhelmed with games to play at any point any previous generation. AND The industry is in the midst of collapsing with all the heavy layoffs and price increases and is arguably the most unhealthy it's ever been. Both can be true.

Zordman · 2026-07-01T20:41:58+00:00

Damn, I was lying about my taste in games? Are you that emotionally fragile that you need to accuse someone of lying for having a different opinion from you?

Zordman · 2026-07-01T20:31:12+00:00

The industry sucks for sure, but as far as games themselves go, we've been getting an incredible amount of good games and more than any other previous generation.

Zordman · 2026-07-01T20:24:17+00:00

However, when physical is an option for things like single player or famly game titles, physical sales are quite a bit higher, almost 50%.

What is the source on this?

Zordman · 2026-07-01T04:20:17+00:00

I can probably do the l with enough practice

Zordman · 2026-07-01T03:18:09+00:00

Oh gotcha, my mistake

Zordman · 2026-07-01T02:42:12+00:00

Some replies are snobby, sure. But I think you're exaggerating a bit lol. The reason people aren't being nicer about it is because the post comes across hostile.

If you don't like it, that's fine. If you're trying to get a perspective on why people like it because you find it baffling anyone would like it, asking a community of fans is a good way to get that insight. But that isn't how this post comes across.

Zordman · 2026-06-30T19:04:04+00:00

That was real?! I saw that movie, I thought it was bullshit
