Agree.

Asking hellblade 2 devs, Lol.

44 years old here. Started with Atari 2600 at the age of 3. Absolutely adore consoles.

I’m 44 too and had the Atari 2600 all the way through Nintendo GameQube to PS1&2 and Xbox OG/360. These days most games are Garbage

I'm 46 yrs old and watching videos from the past makes me happy and sad in the same time.

Am 4o tii and gsming aint that baf a lot of tears for nothing and if yall been gaming as long as me yall shall call the bullshit on this video of making it seem like ps5 is doing as shitty as xbox

@@lordhorg999 Build a PC for $500 that does what the PS5 or Series X does. Then you can talk. Otherwise your argument is empty. The video is a trash take on consoles. The end 😎✌️💯 Console gaming is real gaming for gamers. PC gaming is for PC enthusiasts. People who play League of Legends or Civilization type games. Which it's fine to be a PC gamer. It's not cool to shit on consoles tho just because of your ego. The "PC is better" crowd are mostly egotistical jerks. I seriously think PC gaming sucks. Yeah 256 frames per second is impressive but unnecessary. What's the point of driving a car that goes 200mph if the speed limit is 80mph. In my world, PC is for work. Consoles are for play.

6:44 where is Returnal?

Great video man.

Good Video

​@@kill3rbyysightyou'll find not a lot of PlayStation games are on there. Returnal, the horizon series and a lot of others. Because they want you to get a PC that where your not guaranteed to get a working game because of your video card and specs. PC gaming ain't cheap either and if you don't know how to build a PC your fucked

I literally watched that whole video and i agree 100% with him

I have a PS2 and a PS5 in my room and I probably play the ps2 about 5x as much as I do my PS5. the games just don't do it for me any more. Playing old skool squaresoft RPGs and they kick the absolute crap out of all the JRPGs on PS5.

I'll answer that. There Is no love put into these projects. It all about nickel and diming us all as well and left wing politic messaging

Then get off the internet… obviously there is more disinformation out there than there ever has been. If you feel so put off by clickbait and disingenuous news then stop looking for it, and go to more reputable sources.

@@Direwoof Dude, I was so close to buying a PS5 last year because I wanted to get into Playstation again, but once I saw that the Steam Deck could emulate PS2, I opted for that instead. I’m so glad I never got a PS5 lol.

Facts! 💯

Thats how I've always operated.

Yes this 100% today negativity is so overwhelming and will definitely hurt your experiences

@@DetroitsReaper how can the negativity hurt your experience? If you like something, other people's opinion of it shouldnt affect you, unless you have the desire to be validated

@FURognar easy it's a mindset someone being negative all the time about everything can bring down your love for something. It's not just games either. Its also not always after you played something it can be before you even know you like or dislike something

They are to me, especially the sx when it comes to how it handles bc capabilities. Sure I could do this with a pc but seeing games I already own from generations ago boosted is fantastic.

I owned 360, ps3 and 3ds. I owned xbox one and switch. I own no current gen consoles. It's that exciting!

People seem to have memoryholed how devastating the COVID lockdowns were on the gaming industry. It destroyed console availability for what 2 almost 3 years, It destroyed the development of games. It set the entire industry back about 4 years. Compound that with now they are corrupting games with WOKE and DEI nonsense and we have got the crap we have. You refuse to cover the woke DEI crap but it is destroying the industry.

I don't the OS aren't as good Xbox One style UI/groups over folder,, yes I hate them on Switch and PS5 as well and I get enough of the annoyance on Xbox One and the slow OS is terrible. Boring or underwhelming peripherals VR/Portal, Quick resume is ok. Games I did care about flop or not worth the jump in execution or their priorities due to KZfaqr media, audiences or game Dev/pub staff direction. Square's 2022 published games I bought as interested me. All had rough game design that's just pathetic even besides Foamstars where I had more ideas for it then the final game had content that's how fun thinking up ideas for foam as a game mechanic was for a bad game then playing it. That how bland some games are for content handling or game design. An N64 game has more Moveset depth then Biomutant for animal abilities or fun factor. Let alone Little Kitty Big City because cuteness over fun game play or DEPTH. Because audiences. Games being more boring with generic movesets or mechanics I play current gen and old gen gems I've never heard of no nostalgia and modern gaming is boring in the game design. Varies per genre but even still it's on the Devs to make it FUN yet I find most not fun at all and don't buy them. I find a few current gen yes but even most major or even Indies too old school inspired don't put a spin on things. They would rather copy paste and get emotional nostalgia sales because audiences are dumb enough to buy them. Too safe, too dumbed down, boring games, boring consoles. I collect for current and old gen all 3 and never been so bored. PS4/Xbox One gen I already felt it in 2017-2021 when I bought a Wii U/3DS/Vita and Switch because the gen was so boring. Other than Dreams I didn't support Sony at all other than 2017 and older. Barely did I buy an Xbox game till I found Forza Motorsport 6&7, Crackdown 3, Quantum Break, or others over time in this gen. I don't regret buying them. Especially PSP Minis and mobile good Indies on Wii U besides the big games. 2010s flash or mobile was great. Switch it's gimmicks aren't that impressive but it's a better platform for me to get what I'm looking for of third parties if PS4/Xbox One doesn't have them then the other platforms. Creativity is dead. As much as racing games push licenses cars when 20+ years ago I can find actual mechanics and depth not just cars to sell and attract people as the laziest form of interest. The genre sucks as many racing KZfaqrs point out and only play the old ones for video ideas. I came to my thoughts on my own not just by watching others as I agree with many of them prior to their videos.

Nintendo is doing it right. Delivering quality first party stuff when it's appropriate, making it easy for 3rd parties, having unique and special hardware. 400ish bucks for a PS5 is too much if I'm still very content with the PS4 almost 10 years later.

Also for the most part games can be run from the disc just ignore the updates

That comment he made in the video was so confidently wrong I almost recoiled. How he mixed update data with game data is baffling.

well we do have to remember this gen had a really bad start with first 2 year shutdown and logistic lines in shambles for at least a year later. I say this also reason budgets are also more bloated that and the fact the people demand more pay and everyone want their pound of flesh when you use their product.

No it's the woke politics.

Always the same, new hardware it takes time, for some Reason Red dead 2 and TLOUS 2 took so many years.

Y’all will say this but still complain if a game is “rushed” Total hypocrisy

That's the root of the problem ,games are too big and expensive to make now

But when 2/3s of entire gaming is dead, do you really expect Nintendo to feed the missing balance Sony and Microsoft would have done if they did their job right?

@@ys3606 Gamers don't cease to exist simply because one or more platforms holders drop out of the race. The situation simply allows new/other types of games to gain their attention. Also, the math(although intentionally rough) is still WAY off, because there is a massive overlap in the TYPE of games, hypothetically, that would be "missing" between Sony and Xbox. They both target the exact same demographic. A demographic, mind you, that is included in the wide net that Nintendo casts when targeting gamers.

@@Oryon7 One company can only make so many games. If Sony/Microsoft fails, Nintendo isnt going to "make their share" of games too, all they will(and can) pump out is their own games.

@@ys3606 We're placing gamers boxes, like: "This box will only play this/that game." In reality, that's not what happens whenever there's a power vacuum. In the absence of one source of power, something else always fills the void. It's demonstrable across many different types of markets. For instance; where these major publishers are failing, gamers didn't bow out of their favorite hobby, Indie games saw a MASSIVE boom! They are all competing for the consumer's TIME. It's not AS MUCH about gamers' preference as we think, as a great game with decent marketing can get just about anyone onboard. With Nintendo putting out more games than Sony and Microsoft COMBINED, that's equates to a TON of opportunity to grab people's undivided attention(the consumer's time), in a situation where Sony/MS wasn't around. For the record, competition exiting the market is not something I'm advocating for, I'm just highlighting where the CURRENT TRAJECTORY leads. So again... A power vacuum create a void that WILL be filled. That's as much a socio-economic law, as it is a law of physics.

Exactly. Console gaming. Put in the disc or download the game and play. Thats it. Not interested in any other nonsense. Buy a new console 7 years down the road.

​@@FURognar I'm not sure we even need that next generation anymore. If a new gen does launch I'm pretty confident that Xbox will keep streaming it through cloud. Hell maybe run some of the game local and do the ray tracing or whatever on the cloud. Do we even need more generations once cloud is perfected?

@@ViridianFlow eventually the hardware gets outdated as technology continues to advance. I think 7 years is a good amount of time between generations. I can see that extending to 10 years between at some point. Console generations used to be 5 years apart until the Xbox 360 and PS3 gen, then it shifted to 7 years.

@@FURognar Sure but what I'm saying is the hardware that runs the cloud can upgrade constantly whenever they have the tech. Unless they want to change something completely fundamental like the input style (like going from a standard controller to a VR controler) the hardware at your house doesn't matter all that much anymore, or at least it matters less today than it did yesterday and will keep moving in that direction so long as internet speeds keep improving.

I built a high end gaming PC and still have my PS5. Still prefer my Ps5. Pc is great and all but console still has physical and makes me feel like a kid again.

Sadly but true.

Perhaps if your xbox owner but playstation still have a pletra of games only available on the box.

@@stewarde17 Not many games that haven't already been ported or will be to PC.

@@rodriguezkev perhaps 4-10 years later and by that time there will be another list of games that can't be played on pc

@@stewarde17 All their big ip's are already on PC apart from Gran Turismo. Sony are porting their games as quick as they can for much needed revenue.

Played on PC for 8 years. Got tired of upgrades. Got tired of games not working at first attempt, WHICH STILL HAPPENS. DrDisrespect has a few recent videos where he goes ballistic because he can't get the game to even launch and we have all felt what he hilariously displayed. Got tired of having 3 or 4 different game launchers. PC gaming is a continual pain in the ass.

360 = GOAT

​@@DM-qd7gw nah. That period when Microsoft abandoned the 360 because they started working on the xbox1 was bad taste although the 360 was definitely great.

​@@playablynot as great as the PS3 though 🤷‍♂️🤷

Enjoy GTA VI on your PC... Oh, wait!

@@amazingamazigh1538 the ps3 got good toward the end of the generation once Xbox started moving forward with the Xbox one. But for the vast majority of the gen 360 was dominating.

The margin of that benefit is getting smaller though. Consoles are getting more expensive and even mid gen refreshes aren't cheaper as they used to be, games are more expensive too. On PC you can build a good gaming rig with a 2nd hand GPU with similar performance for a decent price. Still more expensive initially but much cheaper to upgrade later than buying a whole new console for example the PS5 Pro for relatively small gains.

@@rodriguezkev Except a second-hand console is also cheaper, too. Like right now, we can get an Xbox Series X|S for $350.00 and $200, respectively. No PC built with secondhand parts for either of those price points would be worth a damn. And game prices on console are super cheap, too. CDkeys, Eneba, and other websites sell their console games almost as cheap as the PC games. In some instances, just as cheap. Games on console haven't been "expensive" since 2017 by my count.

@@rodriguezkev - I agree. The selling point for a console was you could game cheaper, and easier. That’s slowly eroded over the years. At this rate, PC and console won’t be far enough apart to warrant the price point.

@SamMontoya Yup, and as consoles get closer to being more like PCs in experience, you may as well make the jump. After all, one of PCs biggest benefits is from being an open platform.

100%. People seem really ignorant of this fact.

Exactly. The world turned soft af.

Same. No complaints with my Series X. Running strong since day 1.

The Series X is good and all but this gen is nothing like the 360 gen. Game after game, multiple sequels in a franchise in the same generation etc.

It's not. Last gen Xbox was better.

People forget the first few years of the One were pretty good.

@@thaneros Titanfall, Killer Instinct, Halo 5, Forza Horizon 2, Ryse, Dead Rising 3...

I dont need Woke Cod in my life for sure.

Fall off means your game is dead, you’re losing money, and your studio is shutting down. Activism and COD is the exact opposite of that🤦🏾‍♂️ it’s top 2 in sells every year, a thriving community, and there making more money then ever before😂😂😂😂😂

@@tgreg9542 you must not've ever played Call of Duty 4 back on Xbox 360 Xbox Live. Can't even call people gay nowadays without getting permabanned. CoD in 2024 is absolute trash compared to what it was.

I'm revising the 360 too. It holds up remarkably well.

The hardware limitations of the older consoles forced game devs to get creative with asset management, which carried over into all other areas. Between my 360, Wii, PS2 and PS1 I have lots of fun stuff to play. Games these days focus too much on aesthetics and not enough on fun.

Yeah who would have thought Nintendo is the only vg console manufacturer this gen that actually has consistent first party vg releases? lol

To an extent, Mario wonder was amazing but peach showtime and tears of the kingdom were major letdowns

70% of their output are remasters and remakes. They are part of the problem.

This only goes for their exclusives. Forget trying to play any 3rd part game on the switch unless you want a horribly compromised experience

​@@prodygIf that weren't the case, we would not have many more original games. They are actually plentiful already and Nintendo smply very good at spotting empty spaces that would be too small for an original game and pushing something in, while it also helps with retro demand.

This guy hated on everything Xbox related in the end, I wish Destin would have called it out. I believe it's because he's trying to work with the guy.

Still are.

@@FTChomp9980 ... That's what I said.

💯

Yes, recently bought switch oled from a physical store. Somehow got the same feeling when bought ps1. Games are magic there and capture the essence why I started to play in first place.

Sure if you like kids games with PS2 graphycs.

so u basically not a gamer... just a wanna b gamer who don't know wat to play now... ok tell me wat games hv u played that now u r not finding any games to play??

Can we stop with the Series S hate when the Xbone and PS4 are still getting games? PC games are now just targeting the GTX 10 Series and AMD Ryzen 1st gen as minimum specs. Like I know eventually it will be holding it back, but low end PCs are just as culpable. Not to mention that the race for graphic fidelity is one of the biggest cost increases for these games. While Nintendo is still making bank on the switch that's got decade old hardware at this point. I'm willing to have a discussion on the drawbacks of low hardware as long as we look at the whole of low end hardware. And we can't have that if we pretend the Series S is the culprit.

Agreed

yea some sort of propaganda goin over here... just in 2024 u got Rise of Ronin, Stellar Blade, Helldivers 2, Phantom Blade 0, FF7 Rebirth, Black Myth Wukong etc. i don't know wat these guys r on 😂

​@@kill3rbyysightwukong isn't exclusives though and the others will eventually come over to PC too.

I was lucky(?) enough to secure a PS5 at launch. I played Cyberpunk on it and it was still pretty shitty. Can't imagine how it ran on PS4.

@@discod992 because at launch the game was a notorious mess even if the PS5/Series were alright for the most part tho

Correction: golden age of gaming = the arcade days/Nes - 2011

Its definitely a nice experience. when I get home I press the power button on my PC, steam loads up and I press play on my favorite game(s). All in the comfort of my recliner with the choice of a dualsense or xbox controller. 😂

@@TheWitch297 lol exactly😭🤣 ppl believe u can't do that on PC tho

You're a PC gamer that's why you like this wack generation of downgraded PCs.

yea. this has been an awesome gen for PC gamers. we're getting everything.

Every Microsoft game on Steam requires an Xbox live login... why are you ok with one but not the other?

@@Manic_Panic You realize PSN was just breached today? this is why the network was down lol.

At least frozen pizza is affordable. 5 star resto foods stink. That’s what he meant. Prick

Yet that frozen pizza has more going for it because its fun.

I know right! The drastically improved console performance has allowed me to tackle my backlog of games and i haven’t even touched Forbidden West, FF7 Rebirth and Stellar Blade yet because i simply don’t have the time. It really does help when you don’t play games 24/7

The PS3/360 era was insane. We got three Arkham games, three Uncharted games, two GTA's, Last of Us, three Maas Effects...Jesus.

What good are those specs? I am happy woth my switch.

​​@@galacticwarlock2271Agree with your premise that theres no need for every game to chase the "realistic graphics" with a 5-6 year dev cycle... the games just needs to be good/fun to play... Even though I generally do not like how most games play on the switch 😬. More to do with how performance and the controllers feel I think however.

Completely agree. There are plenty of great games to play, too many to fit into a measly 24 hour day. The "problem" is people like to make and watch whiny youtube videos complaining about stuff. Just go and play some games already.

Good point. But the excitement has been lost.

Imagine we get a Nintendo phone and all their IP's will be excluse for it.

Lol Nintenkiddy👶

My PC is a better switch 😆

Your right. No PC hardware is weak enough to do that. If you don't think a PC handheld could do everything a switch can do better, aside from paying bloated Nintendo prices, your living in ignorance.

@@brettlivingston595 I've been playing switch games on my phone 😆

Switch really has its strong points. I play on many consoles (Sega MegaDrive mini, PS2, PS3, PS4, Xbox One X, Nintendo DSi, Nintendo Wii and Switch) and on PC though not as much nowadays than before because there's so much other things to do than play some games. Work, exercise, play sports, meet friends, going into venues, watching movies/series etc. And of course sleep.

agreed I.E.: steam deck

Valve should do something similar to nintendo

​@@fadercreekhow ?

@@amazingamazigh1538 they already have the steamdeck and own steam just make a dock and controllers

Agree, a lot of PS4 pro ports made me question why I had a PS5 lol.

It is because the big game studios are creatively bankrupt. Nintendo is towing the line in addition to indie devs.

Fully agree, been having a blast since day one.

glad you’re enjoying it but it still doesn’t even touch the previous two gens

It is great but the point is that there are still no games lol both great consoles but there isn’t enough content on either.

I agree

💯 agree. 3rd party is killing it so far. We got Elden Ring, GTA6 and DBZ is around the corner, Black Myth, BG3, Stellar Blade, Hi-Fi Rush, Hell Divers 2, AW2, Perfect Dark, etc. We eating good.

There's actually no backwards compatibility on the ps5 (outside of the ps4.)

That’s not the issue the issue is investors want a certain game and the funds to make one is up to them

@@droid4d279 that’s not the issue? You are saying that they are still making cross gen 4 years into a consoles lifecycle…. Is not a problem? I’ve been around for every single console refresh known to man and this is a first. New consoles aren’t selling well because they keep making games for the old systems, thus there is no incentives for billy Bob to pluck down cash for non existent system seller games.

Same here, haven’t stopped at all this gen(didn’t stop last gen either)

Seriously, lotta people that say they're gamers are tourists. I've been enjoying this generation both on my PS5, Xbox, and Laptop.

There's games but nothing sticking. Its like saying there's a lot of food to eat but its mostly snacks like potato chips, popcorn and pretzels.

@@mr_m4613 Elden ring is huge, helldivers was huge, cyber punk is huge, forza horizon 5 is huge, there’s plenty more.

@@TheBean87 the problem is all those games were shelved after like 2 months, nobody is playing those games now.

I mean, because the pc will outlive the console. And is useful for more than just games.

The PC will outlive the console a long as you are willing to spend more to replace parts

Too much money out there & if the consoles were truly unable to play those games, then they wouldn't make games for those consoles lol. Yall forget that game development takes on average 3-5 years pending size & scope. Besides, they discontinued Xbox One consoles several years ago. Idk if Sony discontinued the PS4, and if so, it was likely only last year.

@@atlien1988 that’s the whole point bro. They are still making games that run on those consoles, meaning are games are watered down versions of what they could be. We could literally have all games at the quality and graphics levels of games like Alan wake 2 and hellblade 2 and others if they would just stop trying to make them work on 10 year old hardware. Shit is ridiculous. I can understand a year or 2 at most after new consoles come out to make them cross gen but after that people need to upgrade or be left behind it’s as simple as that.

@@sneakkyz3696 That's a misconception because consoles are PCs now so they share roughly the same architecture. Because of that games are scalable. Your logic would have been true during the era of exotic custom chipsets but isn't anymore. Like Hellblade 2 will run on a GTX 1070. Ratchet runs on a RX 470. The truth is the PS5 and XB Series are really not that powerful since they are APU based X86 boxes.
