I know this is PatientGamers, but can we discuss how even the current generation of consoles seems to ask for patience as they aren't that many games 4 years after their release? - eviltoast

Stumbled upon this video, which kind of summarizes the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJxaIP8F3K8

In summary

  • lack of risk taking by the industry
  • lack of creativity
  • industry prioritizes profit by making games compatible with the previous consoles generation
  • removal of split screen
  • outdated voice communication compared to PC Discord
  • disabled voice communication by default

For people here who have a current console, what do you think about this?

    I meant this:

    The biggest one for me is that most of the games come out on PC eventually anyway, and will generally run at higher resolutions and frame rates.

    Did you edit the comment? I could have sworn there was the word “issue” in there, originally.

      Nope no edits on that one! I don’t think Lemmy has the 3 minute grace period on edits like Reddit either, so it would have an edited indicator on it.

      Regardless, I wouldn’t say that was an issue for me, I guess it’s an issue for the console manufacturers as I assume the point of paying publishers for console exclusives is to attempt to shift more hardware and if I’m representative of any demographic that’s not good for them.
