For me the advantages have really gone through the roof recently. PC performance is finally pushing to greater heights way beyond console and now they are likely to be getting all console exclusives (apart from Nintendo) at launch within a few years. The rigs cost a lot but for many building and upgrading it is part of the appeal of pc, and the expense partially offset with cheaper games and free online.
let me ask you something: in your home, is your PC setup in a dedicated gaming room or in the living room? I know it's possible to have your PC setup in a living room but I find most people don't really do that. and I'd also rather have my gaming experience in the living room instead of a separate gaming room because I would want a bigger screen especially with house parties and multiple people around to do couch co-op. that's some of most fun times I have playing video games
Yes, in the lounge. I use the same one for work, and it connects to multiple TVs for multi-screen output (main is a 75 inch) and a home theatre system. I play games mostly from the cross trainer (elliptical machine) with a controller or if a RTS/keyboard and mouse game then standing facing the TV. The couch is only really for if people come over. Console is good for playing all over the house though (including bedroom like now lol).
if I had a lounge room in my house then things would be a little bit different. I suppose I could turn my basement into one, one day
also not a good look...not a good look

Yes, big fan. I’m sure that is part of the appeal for a bunch of players.Any starship trooper fans here?Helldivers 2 boss finds Starship Troopers renaissance 'humbling,' says the game is that 'without the plot armour', and nothing captures that better than your frantic near-death videos

I think you would like it then, Iceman! I feel like I have found my go to multiplayer game. However...I gotta admit last night, it took me a while just to get through the tutorial. I feel kinda like an old man now. Although, it was right after work and the TV I was playing on was an old, 1080p VIZIO. I dunno how my sister in law gets her Fortnite fix on it.
I'm too busy right now to start any ongoing games like this but I will certainly try it one day. I like what I've seen so far. Also have a good friend playing it on pc.
oh, yeah. I know that with the time that I have at my disposal, it is very limited anyway. but I'm happy to know that I finally have something to replace CoD after 15 some odd years
I hope that's all it is for me, just about getting used to new mechanics and all that. you know the saying "can't teach an old dog new tricks" I hope I am not an old dog already
I'm not sure this would have the same appeal as arena shooters for me, but I can definitely see myself enjoying the gameplay loop. It feels like the kind of game I'd want to play every so often (rather than all-out binge) and stay linked with as it goes through further updates and new content.
I'm mid 40s so I can claim that one.
what do we consider "arena shooters"? is that the kind of game where you and a squad fight wave after wave of enemies?
oh, yeah. I heard it was heavily criticized when it first released because of its fascism & propaganda, but it's probably still worth a watch. I'll checkout what streaming service it's available on.Check it out if you get a chance one day. A vital part of human history/culture.
nah man, from how active you are on this forum and the way you talk about video games, you definitely just as savvy as the next gamer. people like me on the other hand are getting left behind. I gotta learn to carve out minutes to at least half an hour to keep up, haha
That I'd call a Horde mode assuming you mean AI (non player) enemies. I meant specifically PVP modes with enclosed maps like CoD, Halo, Gears, Doom etc multiplayer. Those will always hold some appeal for me even if they go further out of fashion.
oh I see. you're right, what I described absolutely is horde mode. and by arena shooters, it sounds like you were talking about the traditional team deathmatch type modes
neither was I haha I was just a kid back then. I was just going off of what wikipedia said.
hey, don't sell yourself short, man. the last CoD I played was 2022's MW2, and I had some of the BEST matches of my whole gamer life there. too bad I don't have much of it on Youtube though. I guess I should just tell myself that once I just try Helldivers 2 out enough I will get the hang of it.Haha, I still love games as much as I ever did. But I don't have the skills/reactions of the young gamers anymore.
Yes exactly, and all these games have a different appeal to me and one can’t replace the other.
I'm with you, man. 100%. I will play single player games a lot but I like having a multiplayer to hop onto for different types of enjoyment, you know? And I don't need 10 of those, like you said. I just need one that I can invest my time and skills into so that I can get into my groove with it.

The company rumoured to be acquired always denies it regardless of what the truth is. That said, if in reality they were open to it, this is one dev that Sony should jump on.
Helldivers 2 Developer Insists Sony Acquisition Rumor Is ‘Fake’ - IGN
The boss of Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has denied a recent rumor that Sony is buying the studio.www.ign.com
it would certainly make sense. Arrowhead has a long history of working with Sony, but right now since the latter owns the Helldivers IP, their partnership works out fine even without an acquisition.
