This was true when consoles were offline only and games on physical media... I'm not investing into newer ones unless they can do the same.

- VyseofArcadia 4y agoI agree with the sentiment, but in my experience that's just not true. [1] The PS4 and PS5 are nice and pain free. The Switch even more so, because the games will run right off the cartridge without needing updates. They have available updates, but the version shipped on the cartridge is 100% playable. [1] With the exception of the XBox because Microsoft can't get their shit together.
- oblio 4y ago> The PS4 and PS5 are nice and pain free. Are they, though? Turn them off for 6 months, 1 year, then come back to them. Wanted to play Fifa with a friend that had a... PS4. OS update, game updates, the whole shebang. It wasn't much better than Windows + Steam.
- VyseofArcadia 4y agoYour Windows + Steam experience sounds a lot smoother than mine if all you have to complain about is updates. I experience breaking updates all the time on PC. "Wait, why is this game crashing now?" "Wait, why have all of my settings been reset?" "Wait, why has the framerate tanked since the last update?" "Wait, why isn't my controller working anymore?" All of these happen to me on Steam games. It's infuriating. I'll happily take the console experience of updates that don't break things.
