Maybe they could allocate some resources for optimization then. This game should run on Steam Deck without problems.
Bro have you tried FRAME GENERATION? /s
Hey, if I want to see double I can just play Monster Hunter intoxicated. No need for new tech.
PlayStation and Xbox continue to lose their competitive edge almost entirely due to a lack of exclusives. Okay, I’m lying there are more reasons but I posit that games are the primary reason players choose to play where they play. If games aren’t locked to consoles, players don’t need those consoles.
That’s good for players but bad for these console businesses, long-term. It’s the reason why you so commonly see that people have a <console/PC> and a switch. Players still need the switch
It’s not the lack of exclusives, it’s that consoles are offering a lesser experience than PC now. Controller support on PC is amazing, that wasn’t always true. Hooking up a console to a TV is the same as a PC now. Hardware and graphic performance is stabilized, while a console might be slightly cheaper than an equivalent desktop, it’s much closer than it has ever been. The steam deck is a legitimate contender for consoles. PC doesn’t have the problem of game libraries going away with each upgrade. PC has mod support and a wider selection than console can dream of. PC often has free multiplayer, consoles require a subscription. Consoles don’t really support couch co-op or multiplayer anymore, which was an advantage over PC.
The argument of the “exclusivity” is a really weird one; I know there’s some social engineering so people get aside logic in favour of tribalism.
But you don’t need that much logic, it’s really basic.
- If a game isn’t exclusive for your console… you can still buy and play it
- If there exclusive games for your console… by competition rules the console of “your enemy” also need to have exclusives: less choice you have in the run.
The most compelling argument I see in favor of console exclusives is they’re usually high quality, with little to no MTX, as they’re used as system-sellers. As much as I dislike exclusivity of any sort, we are now seeing those titles come to pc, so pc gamers are also benefiting from console exclusivity to some degree.
