Just buy a damned computer already, people.
Consoles are nice for TV setups, unless you use steamOS, which is also nice for TV setups.....
I had never heard of this before. This seems really cool!
You can pretty easily boot to steam big picture regardless of OS.
It's nice, but it's not perfect. My gaming pc currently uses big picture but I still have recurrent issues at times. Like the inability to fully disable the guide button for certain "games" when that would be a super useful extra button for emulators like retroarch.
Couch gaming is just not that great on PC sadly. I'll deal with it because it's the only way I get close to exactly what I want, especially with the emulators. But it sure as hell doesn't replace an actual console experience that I find myself using way more than my PC that I have probably spent more on over the years than my PS5 cost, which is also more powerful since my pc setup is pretty old (still on a 1050Ti).
I've got a PC plugged straight into my living room TV. There are solutions to consoles becoming unnecessarily locked down.
I did, still gonna buy consoles because i can
Consoles are easier. I just want to open the box, plug it in, and play.
Just need to download new firmware for a few hours. Load the game you wanna play, then download that update. And then download the new season.
That isn't unique to consoles. I have plenty of games on PC that tell me I need to install some third-party launcher and then update the game when I try to open it.
Lol, you never have to update drivers? Updating console firmware is rare, easy, and doesn't take a few hours.
Season downloads apply to PC as well. They get auto updated anyways so it isn't a factor for either case.
Sure, but that all happens automatically, and will simply work when it's done. It won't come up with some bs conflicting error with some other program I don't even know about on my computer.
