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  • outdated voice communication compared to PC Discord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 will say that I’m always a little tempted to get a console for the exclusive new titles, but I can never justify the price when I have such a big backlog of games already

    A while back, as a patient gamer, I waited until Wii & Wii games were cheap so I could buy it. I really want to catch up on all the Wii Zelda games. But by then, someone recommended how to get it work on PC, with higher res and on better screens.

    And also by that time, I had too many games. So I look forward to playing Twilight Princess in 2030.
