OT: Video Game Thread: Part 3

[Striiker]

Xbox going relatively under the radar might work out nicely, especially now that cross-play is becoming more common.

Am I the only one who doesn't particularly care about getting a console on day one?

I wouldn’t have minded to get one to sell at Christmas but I’m fine with waiting for a second or third wave of not longer.
Like I said about the rona vaccine, I never get the first run of anything.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Knock on wood, I have the original PS4 and it held up pretty well.

 

[Striiker]

Yeah, I've never had to re-buy a console.

One PS1
One PS2
One PS3
One Xbox 360
One Xbox One

That said, my Xbox Ones disc reader is screwed up and I have to eject/insert the disc like 5-50 times to get the damn thing to read, but otherwise everything works fine.

 

[FLYguy3911]

My Original Ps3 took a dump though 4 years in.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Damn it feels good to be a strict pc gamer.

Unless you were trying to buy a 3080 today. Paper launch, as usual.

I had my original Xbox 360 red ring on me pretty late in the gen. But my Xbox One and every other launch console I’ve ever had has held up fine.

Is “under the radar” code for “shit exclusives”?

Of course I’m choosing an Xbox S or X because I’m an idiot.

I assume you weren't in the market for a new graphics card and that the 2070 the NSA paid for is still holding up nice.

My SO needs a new GPU immediately. Her 1080 Ti threw smoke last week.

My launch day EVGA 970 is still kicking. My CPU is a Broadwell Xeon. I'll build a rig post-AMD announcements.

RIP 1080 TI. What a trooper.

I think I've already mentioned this, but I personally care more about Halo than any PS exclusive, so I can't quite agree with you there.

Regardless, my point was more that it seems like PS has become the default console for the average casual gamer. By that I mean people who are likely to only get the most popular games (CoD, GTA, Madden/Fifa, etc) and don't care all that much about the exclusives.

Other than my ps1/2, every console i've had has died.

No. I will likely wait awhile before getting one as well

 

[Striiker]

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti

 

[Chinatown88]

Me here chilling with my Switch. Waiting for November so I can play the anime rice farm/hack n slash game.

Not that it's that much better, but if you want my 970 when I build a rig, you're welcome to it.

Striiker is like J.D. from Scrubs. Instead of waiting for a bike part ever Christmas or birthday, Starat promised him new computer parts one by one. FeelsStrongMan

Well in my case all my games, are on the Playstation library, over 100 games.

So I prefer ps5

I appreciate it, but I'm good.

The reason I still have this little stinker is because the only PC game I play is CS:GO, which is on low settings anyways. And even then, I haven't played it in months.

I feel like I put off more Janitor-like energy.

You have a squirrel collection instead of action figures?

A squirrel family.

ya let the peons go in first and take the brunt of the inevitable faulty launch consoles... or just play games PC and or GeforceNOW

Nope, my current stuff's only nine months old. I bought a 5700XT knowing I'd only keep it a year or two tops before moving on to a 3080 or something.

I'll pour out a 40oz for your partner's 1080Ti after work. Am lucky, the 980 Ti I bought long ago is soldiering on in what is now my kid's pc.
