Yo
PC
Back off I’ll take you on
Hop on I’ll crank off anyone
Retro and switch/pc
I’m poor
We love you dirt owl.
Fuuck yeah sames
If I was a millionaire I’d buy you a house and a fancy gaming pc
But I’m not
i prefer linux
The series x/s is largely just an Xbox one two, whereas the ps5 feels like an actual step up.
A Linux pc is infinitely better than both at literally everything

or use your PC to emulate countless older games!

ff6 is goated, have you tried ff6t
deleted by creator
this one’s an snes romhack, i never liked the GBA version of ff6 the audio is super wonky. my current go-to for playing ff6 is the pixel remaster; fitgirl has like 1 thru 6 of those repacked up on her site somewhere.
Quickly, which Ryzen APU should one buy for iGPU performance on par with current consoles??Besides, AAA games kinda suck in 2024.
Real as fuck, new Monster Hunter is the only good upcoming AAA game

Right and all of these are probably inferior to the 780M found in the 8700G? I was looking at 780M/8700G numbers and watching it slug its way through Alan Wake 2 at 1080/FSR/lowest and not even getting 30fps consistently
AMD’s new mobile naming scheme is… slightly unpleasant, not as bad as Intel’s but lol. At least it tells you which ones are old architectures…

Yeah it’s also a dogshit game, this much is true of Callisto Protocol as well, but I use their numbers as a metric for future proofing, kinda. If a GPU can’t run this now, how bad is it gonna be in a year?
It’s kind of a contradiction, where everyone is yelling about how you need 16GB VRAM and a fast GPU, and you do to run stuff… but almost none of the big games are worth it

Metroidvania is cringe, but I’m literally playing Celeste right now, having just finished Tactics Ogre, and then I’m gonna play Fata Morgana. I agree, but if that’s your bag then you don’t need to consider any of this. A GTX 1050Ti will suffice for that, the point of stressing about big games running is future proofing. The last AAA game I bought was Doom Eternal, so I’m not that fussed, was only curious about APUs as a console alternative.
Yeah Bethesda’s last good game was before the 2008 recession, I would laugh if TES6 got canned. Skyrim was fuuuckin shiiit!
Infinity Fabric is the name for the interconnect between CCXs in all Ryzen CPUs… I’ve never been clear on how memory sharing works in consoles 'cause Idek, I tend to view it the same as all iGPUs do it, that you just allocate however much (2GB, 4GB) memory to GPU and the rest to the CPU.I would be hesitant of getting hyped for any memory sharing stuff AMD talks about–back when they were still doing Modules with shared elements in Bulldozer and Piledriver architectures, their APU line featured a bit of this functionality with the Mantle API - Heterogenous System Architecture, or HSA for short. AMD talked a lot of shit about how cool it was for the processor and graphics parts of the APU to access the same memory, and how cool it was that they would be treated “equally” computationally. They dropped this idea hardcore when Ryzen launched because it was basically a GPU-shaped crutch for their garbage CPUs, and the marketing talk was all cope, lol

What’s the point of getting a PS5 or Xbox instead of a PC?
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed!
I’ve played friends Series X before and really like the PS5 compared to it, but fwiw I only personally have put more than a few hours into anything but the PS5 since I only own a PS5/PC. The DS5 controllers are probably the best iteration of them in my opinion but they are $80.00/controller so
Go get a series x i don’t want anyone else other than me having a ps5
i don’t think so bud I’m playing Elden Ring I’m playing Street Fighter I’m doing shit you’ve never seen before on the Demon Souls remake
i prefer se-x
Game consoles have too much tax in this country so I could get a 32 gb ram 7500 ryzen and 4070 prebuilt pc for a price close to ps5. You can get a prebuilt for cheap if you hunt for deals
This is going to sound like an ad regardless of how I say it but I have both and I basically never use the PS5. I have small children though and game pass has been incredible for giving us a constant stream of entertainment for years now. We did really enjoy PS5 the first year or two but just kinda dropped off after a while.
Thats where Microsoft shines (as much as the shitheads can) is if you’re a broke ass gamer (like most of us hexbears). Game pass is an amazing deal, probs the best deal in gaming until micro inevitably raises the price.
I basically don’t buy games anymore lol. It def seems unsustainable af but I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts
Yeah you can current gen game on even a series s if you don’t mind 1080p for cheap as fuck with game pass. (Relatively speaking ofc)
Honestly I still have to give credit where credit is due. As much as everyone’s struggling lately, it’s the perfect deal 200 dollar Series S on sale or used, and then game pass.
Best deal in gaming is a PC with a torrent client
My coworker and I had to google “current generation xbox” to remember what it was called so PS5 wins by a country mile.
What I do not get is: the SX has a much better GPU than the PS5, and yet many games run better on PS5…?
Not sure either. I have a series S, a switch lite and a PS5. Haven’t used a Series X yet.
Main obstacle I see is, the PS5 runs some PS4 games really well, cool exclusives like Bloodborne, Gravity Rush, Tearaway… what’s the Xbox got? Did Xbox One have gaems?
Backwards compatibility is actually where xbox shines. A solid amount of games from the 360 and xbone will play right off the disk on a series x. When they drop in price they’ll be worth picking up as a retro machine.
Meanwhile sony has a pathetic library of their classics and you have to rebuy them all digitally.
I disagree =) I mean sure, it plays a couple 360 games but A) it’s like 600 out of a library of 2100, which is a step back from the 360’s already poor ~570/1100 original Xbox games, B) while good stuff like Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey are available, it’s missing a bunch of critical 360 bangers like PGR 3 and 4, Amped 3, the Forza Motorsport games, basically anything with licensing issues is screwed forever. On the PS3 I did not have to wait for Sony to work out the rights on the Wipeout Fusion soundtrack before putting it in my PS3!
A lot of the 360 BC is filled out with games that are way better either on PC or in a modern rerelease on SX: original Mass Effect 3 is backward compat? Okay… Looking at it pragmatically, a PS5 completely replaces a PS4, and runs literally every game (bar like three nobody cares about) better than a PS4. A Series X will never be a 360 replacement, I still need a 360, so I don’t think SX BC is that useful. I would rather have the full PS4 library than like a quarter of 360 games. I have to keep both a 360 and PS3 anyway, so…
I still have a ps3 and 360, but the ps3 gets more use because all my favourites on 360 can be played better elsewhere.
If i wanna play Infamous I can’t get that anywhere, the ratchet and clank games are nowhere to be found. The Jak games got rereleased, but they’re expensive. Sony totally abandoned their back catalogue. The original ps3 model had good backwards compatibility, but those aren’t very available and also will eventually break if you actually use it.
I mean, sure, you can play the soundtrack of some more games? But i don’t think many people are still putting in their ost cds in their consoles.
It’s true that most 360 headliners got onboard the ark. Halo games, the Gears games are about to get rereleased, Dead Rising, stuff like that. But there are some games that have no PC port (Forza 4, PGR 3/4, Import Tuner, the Ubisoft Naruto games, Crackdown) and even for the ones that’re backward compat (Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon) it’s no way worth getting an XB One or SX when not all 360 games work anyway.
I will admit my PS3 gets more use too, partly because I installed PS3HEN on it so I can
and also because yeah, the exclusives are way better. Infamous 1 & 2, every Motorstorm game, Demon’s Souls, LittleBigPlanet 1 & 2, The Puppeteer, Folklore, all that good shit. Also there are some games that are on other platforms but end up better on PS3 anyway, like Alone in the Dark Inferno or Fatal Interia EX =)
