https://store.rockstargames.com/game/buy-gta-vi - On PC we don’t know (presumably the same as on consoles), but for consoles it will be 80 Euros / Dollars. And this is not even the full game (here called Standard Edition), because there are some stuff missing in this version, such access to some specific in game shops. For the full version (here called Ultimate Edition), it costs 100 Euros / Dollars.

Obligatory “pre-order” rant: BTW I don’t get who people pre-order a digital only game. I have some sympathy for discs and cartridge, because they can be sold out. But there are none for this game.

That account seems to mostly exist for posting ragebait.

Isn’t this the definition of a troll? I don’t understand why such accounts aren’t getting banned then.

I’m actually excited about GTA 6 on PC. Even though I have a Series S as a fallback, I prefer all games to be played on PC. But I won’t buy it day one for full price, no game is worth that money.

Do you think so? Most big companies require developers to use Ai.

Edit: I don’t understand why my question is downvoted.

To be fair, Fortnite isn’t a bad game. It is just not my cup of tea. in fact, I’m a bit jealous to any Fortnite player.

Cost to much money and effort. There are cheaper ways.

They all started like this. A few months or weeks later the games were at 20 then 40 and soon 60 fps.

It actually runs as fast it can, its just slow at the moment.

That makes much more sense. Now with that in mind, the title doesn’t sound wrong anymore.

Just wait a day, until Ai bots rewrite the story in new articles. This is how we get fed nowadays.

But why?

I just wish the posts were not bloated otherwise too. Edit: But fair enough and good point. At least its to the point, which is definitely a plus point.

The problem is that not all hardware and software functions under Linux.

For good reason.

Off topic, but about the article: Are the articles getting shorter and shorter? The rest of the page has more content than the entire article body. I’ve seen some longer Lemmy replies. :D

That’s how it works on a steam machine/deck.

I know (own first gen Steam Deck myself), but most people don’t have SteamOS. In Windows this is still necessary, because it’s not just for gaming and unlike SteamOS it isn’t read only mode.

BTW the Windows CE label was even on the console I think: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamcast#/media/File:Dreamcast-Console-Set.png (ah yes, I remembered it correctly) I was always wondering what this has anything to do with Windows. I think it wasn’t a full Windows anyway, and components were modular. Never digged into this myself, which is a shame because I’m interested. Found following interesting link:

In the end, this didn’t materialise into a full desktop interface or integration with Microsoft’s online services. Instead, it served as an optional layer of abstraction to simplify hardware operations.

In conclusion, ‘Windows CE for Dreamcast’ was merely a secondary SDK of choice for developers.

It was an opt in feature, not the main operating system I think. Don’t know what the actual OS of the Dreamcast is.

And the obvious links:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamcast
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_CE

Interesting indeed. I was not aware of this. I’ll probably dig into this subject later today.

This is a much more nuanced take I could agree with. The previous comment wasn’t like that. I decided to go full PC gaming around the end of XBOX 360 generation, because I saw it coming and consoles were more PC like ever, and PCs (thanks to Steam) more console like ever. It’s been what, 2 decades almost and I can say confidently that consoles are not exactly the same like PCs.

But in an other comment the user I replied to said he didn’t even talk about all of the stuff, but was talking about the price. If we talk about the price, yeah sure, the gap has almost vanished. One of the biggest advantages of buying a console was also its initial price of hardware.

As for the PC more and more like console, it’s even more true with something like Steam Machine and Steam Deck, but without the downside of locked down console. That’s the closest we get to a console like experience and usability. Meanwhile current gen consoles have a PC architecture, getting digital only, supports keyboard (and mouse?) for selected games, updates are similar to PC, but without the issues of a PC. The user does not need to type in password on boot, doesn’t need to update several parts of the system, no need to install drivers.

They are closer than ever in history of computing, PC and gaming. But there are lot of differences that I cannot say exactly the same (which you personally agree with me, based on the reply).

Agree on the exclusivity thing and also I’m one of those with big backlog; it grows faster than I can play. There is no need for me to buy day 1 expensive AAA games. I disagree with all points made in the last segment of your reply.

Also windows 11 isn’t terrible… It isn’t good, but it’s fine.

Windows 11 is in my opinion terrible. The updates, the spying, the bloat, the UI, the ads, can’t customize much… I don’t like anything in Windows 11. And it gets in the way of playing games too, especially if you want to play with gamepad all the time and messages appear (Steam Controller however helps a lot here). To a point that I will never use Windows 11 on my own computer ever. (and it’s not like I wouldn’t have experience in Win11 too)

And I don’t think I agree with it being cleaner to boot up a console and just play a game.

If you ever used SteamOS through Steam Deck in example, then I think you would agree with me. Starting Windows requires a password entering, which is not an issue with consoles. Then Windows loads lot of crap and bloat and you might use the computer for other stuff than gaming too. Here and there are issues using it to play games, like updating drivers, configuration and so on. Playing games on a console is much cleaner and simpler than Windows 11 on PC. SteamOS is also cleaner than Windows 11, but consoles still a lot less problematic in regard that.

If you have steam run at start up, they are pretty equal.

They are not. Running Steam in foreground in Big Picture mode is just not the same. It looks the same on the surface, but there are lot of little issues.

Exactly what I’m saying.
