I feel terrible for PC gamers. They can't enjoy a game unless it's on full 5k, 60fps. They would have hated my childhood playing nes and N64.
I've been currently playing TOTK and it's so good, not once have I thought "OMG RESOLUTION MAKES THIS A 0/10" like the PC gamers, not once has the frame rate even been a noticeable thing, cause it's smooth. PC gamers only care about top tier graphics, they can't just enjoy an experience
Entirely wrong argumenrs against PC gamers. Maybe you mean hardcore Masterrace PC Gamers. There arent even a lot of them.
Most of the PC gamers just want the freedom I assume. The convinience of being able to play new random indie games online or AAA titles without needing to spend extra 30 bucks per month for luxus internet access. Additionally you can choose your device like Steam Deck, Rog Ally, PC, Laptop or Cloud Gaming.
Like the Steam Deck, it only has 720p and I prefer to play on it over my WQHD monitor.
No xd. People only care about how the game plays, it doesn't matter if it looks like a potato (like wow or CSGO), but whatever you say 30 fps isn't and never was "smooth". In my case it makes me dizzy so it's physically unusable.
Man if I cared about framerate or resolution I wouldn't be playing totk on my steam deck. And yes I own a switch, and yes I bought totk
For me emulation is just a convenience thing.
I like to game on the go with a steam deck (720p60), and I don't want to carry around two handhelds
I've got the choice between one with pretty much every game I've ever bought, a nicer controller and more features, or one that has 2 games and doesn't even support Bluetooth headphones iirc, nor will it connect to any usb c dock that wasn't specifically designed for it
Resolution and performance is only one reason people want emulation
No, they can. They just enjoy an overall smoother and prettier experience. I was once able to afford such a machine.
Hell, tuning the graphics and all that is an experience. I used to get games I’d never play looking as good as possible just because it was fun to tinker until I got the best performance I could get.
It’s a whole other experience. I’m happy to play whatever, but that was fun too.
I still have my old consoles hooked up to an old crt. I still play my NES and N64 regularly.
It's funny how absolutely off the mark wrong you are about this, and wrong on more than just one level.
