nah. the names pretty lame too, didnāt they already call their previous failure the steam machine? I can see this being a threat to Xbox and possibly a better replacement for it, but playstation (like nintendo) will always have its place - itās too distinct & established
btw, my pc is already a steam machine since i only play with a controller anyway
@PuppetMaster i got a prebuilt and havenāt had any problems so far 3 and a half years in. PC has came a long way and isnāt nowhere near as bad as people here at pushsquare keep saying
plus, i cant use a keyboard and mouse at all to play games, its way too hard. even shooters that people claim are superior or recommended for keyboard and mouse, i play much better with a controller instead
@REALAIS hey man iām trying to find games that interest me; iāve spent most of this gen playing older generation games, so i have been gaming. This gen sent me backwards because i canāt find much
@Carnage this is true, normally iād say that halo is M$ flagship title or identity, but since xbox no longer has an identity , itās safe to say Halo ran its course and has no fitting in this era . itās a boomer shooter like quake and unreal. bungie ended this series so perfectly and then 343 came along and ruined it with crap after crap games
@ShadowRJ the og took skill and wasnt a broken mess beyond storymode & had better pvp; bad players got lapped in the OG CTR but that also happened in mario kart too - bad players always got lapped in kart racers, thats not the problem. its that nitro-fueled broke the core game, and nitro karts involvement is like a crap stain on a painting. the nitro kart/nitro fueled tracks are all designed for blue fire exploitation - theyre not kart racing tracks.
also acceleration wasnt useless in the og, but it is in NF.
@ShadowRJ Itās sad that itās considered a āboiling hot takeā these days , especially to people that presumably grew up with or at least played the original a lot before nitro fueled was even heard of. itās been YEARS since ive last played nitro fueled. havenāt played it since late 2019, but one major game breaking issue was the blue fire mechanic - they completely ruined it and made it broken. it was so bad that the moment that you lost it youād lose a race because it was impossible to catch back up. this stupid *** mechanic turned the game from being a kart racer into f-zero ;couple the fact that this also made 98% of the items in the game useless that wasnāt an orb or mask (hell, even THOSE couldnāt catch you!) and youād see how game breaking it was. the blue fire was even admitted by devs to had been a mistake they didnāt know how to fix despite it being fine in the original (the original didnāt have the blue color , but same concept)
nitro fueled balance was awful - literally only speed karts mattered, acceleration/turning/balanced were all completely useless, the nitro kart tracks were majority AWFUL & the original nitro fueled tracks were terrible too because they were all designed the exact same way for the infinite blue fire mechanic , so people just flew through tracks spending more time in the air than on the ground. it was a broken mess & im glad the online died as fast as it did. i remember on launch there used to be like 5 orbs at once on the track. the orb spam was insane. also the terrible lag that your character literally got hit by thin air.
original characters like ripper roo, pinstripe, papu papu voices and personalities were completely ruined , which really sucked for me personally since i love(d) ripper roo
also just a little pet peeve but - the nitro characters are trash. literally everything about nitro kart is disgusting ; fans of the original CTR just wanted the original CTR only. i know i still do. nitro fueled beyond its single player was super unpolished and haphazardly put together. also 30fps
@Porco oh absolutely, iāve heard of several people that have went back to PS3 & played some hidden gems, myself included. it was such a great gen that a lot of people took for granted due to the FPS craze - and rightfully so to be honest, because that generation had all developers firing on all cylinders even fps were great

also, like console warriors, they seem to think itās impossible to own more than one platform/console š
@KawakiisaFraud nah, donāt worry, iām anti-fanboy to the bone & im inclined to agree with you. having a reason to turn on your console is extremely important; PC is a monolithic beast thatās risky to play with & sony is definitely playing around too much.
spider-man 2 was disappointing . i gave it the same rating as the first game but it shouldāve been way more for a sequel. insomniac generally has a good track record though
