Thread 718288796

Oh boy, another thread where faggots will argue semantics about something being "le retro or not" for 500 posts! Thanks Moot!

Just 340 more

Consoles after 5th gen still aren't retro, since the only reason they clung on is by deliberately holding everything back after x86 home computing became generally affordable, performant and better in every way.
The only terminology to use for consoles 6th gen and up is "retarded", as evidenced by the fact that games from those gens are mostly the same as current gens apart from the stagnation and generally declining quality introduced by a highly speculative industry changing hands and consolidating multiple times over the last 25 years.

Haha... I'm 33 this year.

I remember buying the Core with my dad, but in the end I spent more by buying the HDD separately, haha, Kameo and PGR3 were pretty good. This console had personality.

But turning 360 degrees and you're still facing it.

>>718289456
And pc is holding everything back by being so unbelievably shit. How the turn tables.

>>718288796 (OP)
very underrated retro console

>>718288796 (OP)
This was the only time in history when multiplayer console gaming was good.

How many 360s did you buy? 3 here: 2 RRoD'd after warranty.

>>718288796 (OP)
You mean 380.

she is a woman

>>718289851
For some reason, women think they're people. It's kinda cute.

>>718289851
Because she is 20 year old and has no connection to any of this

>PC has better build quality, is more powerful, is more versatile, gives you full control over your files, etc.
>Still cheaper and more convenient than buying a locked down pseudo-PC with equivalent midrange parts from 5 years ago on a payment plan, or even yet another Nvidia shield tablet

>>718293892
>cheaper

lol lmao. No, stealing your parts is not cheaper it's called stealing.

>>718289697
Everything past the 360 and PS4 is dogshit

A baseline PS5 would have cost you 900$ at this point, slap a PS5 pro on there and you're looking at 1600$, maybe 1200$ if you want to be generous and assume you could sell your obsolete console. That's before paying additional costs on games and assuming you will stop paying 80$ a year for basic functionality.
For something that's basically a 3060 and now a 4060ti equivalent with a bargain bin CPU and other components, that's not exactly a great deal.

Thanks, I'd rather forget it.

Bro, you're not including rent and income taxes on the console side while pretending the pc version would make you exempt? If you're going to be disingenuous either way might as well go the whole hog.

>>718295602
I mean it's simplified as shit anyway, the console side is overly optimistic even.
Including paid online is just a basic assumption for the average person on consoles and that's something that's not present on PC as a baked in assumption for almost all games.
