Your video game hot take(s) thread

[The Rogue Wolf]

Recently I've joined the PC Master Race and now for the first time if someone were to ask me what is the best way to get into gaming, I would first ask them how much they want to play Nintendo exclusives and/or on the go (handheld), and if they say no to either, suggest a PC instead of any console.

One major thing is that both the current-generation XBox and PlayStation are basically cut-down multimedia PCs in weird custom cases. You're not even getting the benefit of specialized console hardware anymore.

I stopped caring for graphics right around late eighth generation. So long as the game has a good looking or great looking art style and plays good, then I'm fine.

I like nice graphics, but above everything they have to service gameplay. I have raytracing enabled in Forza Horizon 5, but in a limited fashion, so that I can keep the framerate pegged at 144Hz for buttery-smooth responsiveness. And I spend plenty of time playing things like Minecraft and modded STALKER and Doom.
