Preference. It is preference. It always was and it probably will be fir the foreseeable future. There are perks or arguments for either but imo you are either a PC-type or Console-type (subject to change over time lfc).
As a very new PC gamer, supplementing my long time Xbox gaming, the biggest advantage of consoles is that games always work OOTB (or OOTDownload).
Sometimes with PC gaming, a game just doesn't run for whatever reason, or you get crashes, or any other weird issues. Most people don't want to have to tinker in settings just to get consistent framerates.
Including myself, because I don't have a lot of time to play and I don't want to waste that time troubleshooting.
I'm over here questioning my sanity paying 20 dollars for a Half Life 2 mod that was made in the span of 10 years by some South Korean women.
Only to have to open up gcfscape and extract the audio such that the game doesn't crash and also emulate a graphics card.
Good game btw! It's a shame that modern graphics cards are losing support for directx9.
But like I get your point first hand. There are so many games on steam that just don't work anymore or in G-String's case. Don't work because the creator runs ancient windows 10 she refuses to update and has an older graphics card such that if it works on her machine it must work on your computer as well.
Edit: Also no the game is not sexual at all and the name G-String refers to a gene your character has that gives her psychic powers. It's also more like longer Half Life 2 if it had like 14-20 hours of content depending on how good or bad you are at the game.
Edit edit: Also a better example would be Max Payne 1 which requires you install a community made mod pack to play today and still buy.
Put me in the both camp. They’re fundamentally different experience and there are different games that I prefer to have on PS5 and other on PC
Oh yeah totally forgot to add this as an option. I should have put it like: Those are different things with different aspects to like/dislike about each.
