I don't really game even a percentage as much as I used to. Possibly even as little as a tenth of a percent. So when me and my mate want to play a game we just dive into our steam libraries and play some game from our past. It's so nice to be able to avoid all the drama that you see surrounding the AAA-o-sphere. If we do ever get a new game it's only after we've ummed and ahhed about it for years anyway. Patient gaming is the best. And enjoying an old steam library and revelling in nostalgia is great.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

The number of A's is just an indication of how many apologies you will get when the game inevitably sucks because it's undercooked. At least indie devs put the Early Access tag on to warn you it's raw, big devs aren't even polite enough to warn you (but will gladly take your money)
The PS4 is my main gaming device, I just can't afford anything else, but if I could I would get a PS5 or a Steam Deck (I'm pretty sure a revision is in order for both consoles lol, that is why I am even more stalled).
I am currently playing Batman Arkham Knight and what a game!
It is a shame that this franchise took another route with the next game, it really doesn't seem like a 2015 game, and I don't even have the PS4 Pro which might have some perks for these kinds of games, mine is the slim model.
I don't think Steam Deck is going to get a revision any time soon. Actually, I don't think Steam Deck is going to get any revision.
On the other hand, they are clearly brewing something for PS5..
I don't think Steam Deck is going to get any revision.
This is a valid statement... But I don't want to believe it.
Yeah I was more inclined to the expected revision for the PS5... But I still think if Valve wanna stick with the game they'd approach this with a better handheld (at the moment I just can think of keeping the same performance but making it a bit tinier), by no means I am saying current Steam Deck needs desperately a revision right now, I'm just comparing it with the timing when I would be finally able to get one lol.
I bought a PS4 pretty late myself and it’s been such a great console. So many titles that feel cinematic and broad. Death Stranding got mixed reception but it’s such a vast and detailed game. I love getting lost in PS4 titles.
TLOU was such a beautifully brutal experience. I love hearing stories from fellow gamers experiencing such great games for the first time.
Uncharted
That's still a series I've yet to start but I'm sure I'll love them.
The PS4 in our house has slowly lost favour to Xbox with everyone. I still keep it set up though for the exclusives.
