At least cyberpunk was ass at launch, they have since fixed it, but that doesn’t change that whole “first impression” on the gaming community.

None, I refuse to pay for battle passes, even though I can afford it. I think they are responsible for why gaming is in such a bad state right now, and I cannot and will not support that shit

I dunno, I’ve been struggling to hire mechanical engineers. It’s not cheaper, we have to sponsor the visa AND pay them a competitive wage here in the US. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Yeah, this doesn’t sound right, we have plenty of life left in these systems. it’s gonna be at least another 5 years, unless they mean the “Pro” versions.

I have both, and I most often just play the PS5.

The only thing I have noticed is that the casuals don’t want to play with the competitive players because it throws off the fire team stats and might put them in a higher skill lobby.

Otherwise I don’t really notice. They get easier match ups when we leave their fire team.

Not to mention, it doesn’t take as much to make the environment look great, it’s when you try and make the people, their hair and their facial expressions that it all starts to look creepy rather than good.

I bet if there were no faces or facial expressions, you would have better looking games.

If it really is for the kids, then the switch is awesome and works as a handheld or when docked to a TV. We love to take those on road trips and vacations.

The Xbox starts to get into more mature titles and gameplay, so not as suitable for kids. I’ve not played with the parental controls on that one to see what you can do. But unless you can lock it, they would have the ability to play mature titles.

If all you want is the game pass, you can save a lot of money and just buy the series S. That’s what we did and we use the game pass for old games and play new games on the PS5 that we already have. I haven’t had an Xbox since the 360, so it made sense for me to go back and play the last 10 years worth of Xbox exclusives.

Honestly if the target is really kids under 10. The Nintendo really is much more kid friendly on games and titles. And their friends are more likely to be playing those games on that platform. plus, it keeps them quiet in the car.

Xbox can’t do that 🤣✌️

My dog stares at me like this. And I just tell him…… of course I ate it, it was MY bacon. 🤣✌️🥓

It may feel like that to you. But they are timed and they do have objectives. So that means that one team needs to attack or they lose by default. The other team defends, then swap.

It’s very reminiscent of the old school counter strike format. I would love it without all the damn superpowers.

It’s fun and tactical when it gets down to gun skill and map control. but yeah, it will feel like all camping if you don’t like it.

I would pay for another updated counter strike , but yeah, I eventually got bored of Valorant too. It was the abilities for me, not the game format.

That’s why you gotta go with Grey’s Sports Almanac …… they don’t have to sell you the ticket. You’ve just got the outcomes to all the major sporting events.

Bruh, how are we going to travel through time, if we can’t even agree on what time is and how to measure it. 🤣

C’mon Marty, let’s GTF outta here ✌️

Plenty. I already have a PS5 and a PC, I don’t want an Xbox, and the state of AAA gaming means I only need to buy like 3-4 new games next year, because that’s all they are going to release in the genre that I play.

So money wise, I’m all set.

Which is sad.
