Halo 2 is my favorite in the series, mainly because of the Scarab battle opening, and some sick CTF maps (Headlong an all-time great). It's probably got the best lore with the Covenant religious shit. https://halo.fandom.com/wiki/Headlong None of the Halo games have a good story, so who cares about a cliffhanger? Halo3's opening is also pretty good and benefits a lot from the 360 upgrade, but that's about it. Kinda meh series overall tbh. Boring hu-rah marine jingo shit with a green action figure.

If Nintendo was the only console first party, PC gamers would be 2 generation ahead and practically have online gaming exclusive. its fine if you like Nintendo's little pet projects, but im an adult, and i dont live in the past.

It's really wild how far Nintendo has fallen.

Nintendo 1st party is like the Disney of videogames: mainly enjoyed by children, morons, and pedophiles. The worst thing about the Deck is that Playstation isn't ready yet with day-1 PC ports. For everything else, and especially indie games with a budget where Nintendo mostly competes, the Deck could be the only gaming device you need for a really long time.

I said 3 games, I don't have to convince somebody with severe lead poisoning that good games are good.

PlayStation sets the standard, if you don't like it, take up another hobby.

The game is still untouched production-wise, and the runners up are Naughty Dog games. PS5 has incredible exclusives like Returnal, Horizon Forbidden West and Ratchet and Clank which MS studios can't get close to. But by Sony standards, there's a next-level tier we haven't seen yet.

Fucking amazing work by Valve and AMD. I was trashing the Series S in the other thread, but as long as developers have to target it, the Deck is going to be in the sweet spot for AAA support. The Deck is going to have an incredible lifespan. It's easy to see upper-tier indies playing on it for 10+ years. Nintendo wont catch up to Valve's 2022 performance before 2030.

High speed SSD and Dualsense alone destroy the competition. PS5 already has several exclusives that put Xbox to shame. I'd still say The Last of Us Pt 2 is the most technically impressive game ever made so we're not even talking about next gen graphics yet.

As a socialist I find ResetEra toxically liberal.

PS5 is the state of the art. Anything to criticize still leaves it far ahead of the competition.

It's especially sad because PS5 has a 399 entrypoint which is a steal. Was it really worth anchoring the whole generation for a short term easy entry? They could've just kept making Xbox One X for another year or two.

The S is an early sign that gamepass has shifted MS' publishing goals from cutting edge quality to AA consistency (which they still struggle to achieve). It's the Netflix of videogames in more ways than one.

Cursed brand

I know I'm gonna get back into Returnal eventually because I still think about the soundtrack like every day Ratchet and Clank I only played a little bit but it is one of the most "next gen" things I've seen so far.

@jehureythe game you're looking for is called "Killzone 2"

Couldn't have picked a worse time. Tho tbf every time since 2005 has been worse than before.

Sam's Club just had a PS5 restock. It's gone.

Yeah, I think that's right, but I don't think it's a long way to go. They don't even need truly native linux support, though Vulkan adoption would make a huge difference for compatibility and performance. Since Proton is the special sauce making this whole thing possible, it's more important imo that developers do the bare minimum to test against it, rather than take on the maintenance burden of full Linux support. Sooner or later, they will release SteamOS as a general purpose installer, and yeah you can build your own box or likely buy a box designed for it. Ignoring the high-en

PC gaming is about to get crazy. The Deck is barely out, and it's already clear Valve has accomplished some sorcery with this thing. Now that AAA easycheat games like Elden Ring and Apex Legends are confirmed working, there is a clear path for SteamOS to stand head to head with Xbox and Playstation in the living room. The same Proton compatibility will also apply to Chromebooks, likely to get a major graphics boost from Intel's new mobile chips. When you buy the Steam version of a game, you're not only getting the best graphics, you're getting portability, cloud streaming, and console, in a p

Phew it's finally sold out. Devastating.

Even with a 1 year delay it's this bad. 343 has been a disaster from jump. Master Chief Collection took years after release to get to a decent condition.

I've got an HP Spectre X360, which is a 13" 2:1 where the screen goes all the way around for a tablet-like position. It makes for a pretty bad ipad, but I do like it when I'm reading a book / big doc or like a kitchen recipe. It also came with a nice pen, but I don't use it. I probably only use the tablet mode like 5% of the time, and it's overwhelmingly just a thin laptop.

I really like the Surface BOOK design with the fully detachable tablet. They're slick, they feel very well built and they're super powerful. The Pro design with the kickstand really doesn't work for me. I do a lot of half-coding, half-napping with a normal laptop on my chest. The flip out stand just sucks for that, or even basic LAPtop functionality. I guess if you mostly want a tablet, and only need a laptop occasionally, it could work. But I'd rather have Android/iOS/ChromeOS for that because imo windows blows as a tablet OS. Also all MS laptops are imposs
