I have to admit as a pc gamer who also plays console that i like the plug and play experience of consoles as well. Usually when i boot up a game it’s to take a break from tinkering with linux, only to then get stuck tinkering with game settings lol. With the direction ps6 is going though, it’s not worth it anymore to me and i’d rather have to tinker with my games instead of losing all my freedom.
There’s something to be said about developers being able to target standardized hardware, and ship a game pre-loaded with graphics settings already tweaked. Also, it’s nice knowing a game will just work no matter what, with no “Oh right, I switched my audio output to my headset earlier” or whatever.
That said I find my PC experience to be way more satisfying for pretty much every other reason. And the pre-configured graphics settings are a lot less attractive now that devs use TAA by default. I will move heaven and earth to turn off TAA.
My last console was a PS4 but even that wasn’t exactly plug and play was it? I thought every time you’d bring a game disc home it would usually have to do a major update before it would be willing to launch the game
