I had the series s for a couple years until I could afford a PS5 and it let a working class chick like myself enjoy current games on a budget. I still have it, and while I don’t use it as much I’ll still admit a series s and game pass is a god send for those of us who love to game but have other financial obligations and can’t afford the beefier consoles ATM. (Or a capable gaming pc)
I realize Microsoft is a shit company, but I do think the series s is good for what it is.
Sucks that a vocal minority of idiot gamersTM complain about it “holding consoles back”
These are the people who only have video games in their lives and nothing else
Rant over. Much love ❤️
I think it’s great too. Speaking from the point of view of a couple of years ago, you could get a Series S for relatively cheap, use the conversion trick to get two years of Game Pass Ultimate for next to nothing and you have a great library of games for two years. If you cannot afford the games after that you can keep the console around or pawn it off.
Series S seem to get a bad rap because some AAA games didn’t run well on it. Most notably BG3. But most AAA publishers will figure out a way to turn any game into a 15fps slideshow even on a NASA quantum computer.
Yeah it was a god send. It’s all I could afford when elder ring came out, and I wasn’t about to play it on Ps4 and Indeed get 15fps. Wasn’t until a couple years later I had the money for a ps5
I don’t think Microsoft is “good guy” or anything. Just this was a good thing, I think allowing room for a budget console in the eco system is a good thing. Even if a vocal minority wine about it. Most developers have came out and said it’s fine and the games just may look and run a little worse but not totally compromise the whole experience.
I’m just praising it for sustaining my gaming habit when i was dead broke
