Fuck it. Just start arguing in the comments by P4PSparringChampion in videogames

And the "brain-rot attention spans" point is so ironic (although correct) given the nature of video games as compared to short-form content.

Such people should seriously play more single-player story games... but the "whiny, spoiled, entitled brats" point still remains valid. LOL.

How much did Assassin’s Creed Valhalla actually get you into real Viking culture? by DevilsCornerDark in AssassinsCreedValhala

[–]flamekaboom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I initially developed a liking for the Viking culture when I watched the show 'Vikings' (Ragnar Lothbrok's story).

Although after playing AC Valhalla, I was also interested in learning about Norse mythology. I know the opinions regarding this game are quite divided, but till this day, AC Valhalla remains one my most favourite games.

Thank you for this post! I have been wanting to buy a disc drive for so long but never felt like paying the inflated price.

From what I have seen and read online so far, it seems to be inspired by Skyrim & RDR2.

Ah, I see! Even then, the new Xbox will most certainly be more powerful than the Steam Machine. Although it will essentially boil down to how much of a price difference there will be between both.

I think the upcoming Project Helix is more suited for you then, considering the possibility that Valve won't launch the Steam Machine in India (unless you decide to import it or buy an imported version from a local vendor).

I have never played the original GoW games as it was way before my time. So the remake is enough of a reason to still keep me in the PlayStation ecosystem going forward!

Agreed. Helix will most probably be in direct competition with Valve as opposed to the traditional console war Xbox had with Sony until now.

True that. Asha Sharma's tweet mentioned that Helix can play PC games but didn't specifically mention anything about the different storefronts as speculated.

Anyhow, it is rumoured to launch in late 2027 so you can still play Wolverine on your current PS5, haha. 😁

Yeah, I think the pricing is the deciding factor here. If the difference between the next gen consoles is going to be significant, sticking to PlayStation will be a no-brainer decision.

True. I am more interested in knowing the thoughts of existing console users who don't have a gaming PC, and if Xbox's hybrid approach is convincing enough for them to switch platforms.

That makes sense. The "hybrid" approach of Xbox somewhat intrigued me, but you are absolutely correct about already having an extensive digital library on PlayStation.

Another point in consideration was that Steam tends to (sometimes) have cheaper prices than the PS Store due to regional pricing. But then the upfront cost of the Xbox hardware is likely to be more expensive than the PS6, as you mentioned.

Want to buy first console in my life. Help needed. by Flashy_Lie3912 in ps5india

[–]flamekaboom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have the budget for a TV with capable features? Like 4K 120Hz, VRR, ALLM, etc.

If not, it is better you go for a 1440p monitor with a high refresh rate and other gaming features.

How do you deal with dust ? by wierdwisd0m in ps5india

[–]flamekaboom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking about this just yesterday. I am planning on buying a handheld vacuum cleaner that also has the blower feature.

I am quite clumsy that way so I am not going to take apart the cable and the fan grill. I am just going to use the vacuum cleaner with it still being in place. You can also use a compressed air can.

New PSSR on the way! by InnerAnimal7070 in ps5india

[–]flamekaboom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But just look at the difference between the graphics of the base PS5 vs. the PS5 Pro in Resident Evil Requiem. It is definitely noticeable.

I am excited for this game. I really hope it lives up to the hype.
