Definitely the least excited I've ever been for a console. 1st month Xbox SX buyer that eventually traded in for a PS5 and it's incredibly redundant with my PC. At this point I'm happy playing on Steam Deck level graphics settings. Next consoles need a better gimmick than better ray tracing, bigger open worlds, more fetch quests to advertise scale

Same, if my steamdeck can’t run it then I don’t play it. I love portable gaming so much because I can just be around the house or quickly suspend the game if something comes up.

Additionally it seems all the new games are pretty boring, maybe I’m just getting old, but I don’t care about graphics at all, just give me a fun game.

I’m actually playing the original oblivion right now and have no problems or complaints about the graphics, it’s just not important to me.

I've been playing the Remaster and it looks immaculate, and it's the same game. Different strokes I know, but I am loving the Remaster so far.

That said, I got Schedule 1 the other night and I put in two all-nighters already so far. That game is addicting - like the crack you can cook and sell in it.

I’m really not getting into it. I’m near the end of the main quest line and it was fun at first, but it’s just become repetitive and it makes just want to play Skyrim again instead.

I'm surprised you think it's repetitive and it makes you want to go back to Skyrim lol.

But that said, anytime I play an Elder Scrolls game, I always get the urge to play the other ones too, so I get it. It usually ends up taking months of my life away whenever it happens though.

I have a Legion Go with Bazzite. Happily playing the Oblivion remaster on it. Just have to set the TDP to 20+ to get stable 36fps+ at low settings. Looks good to me

Besides that I mostly play Hades 1/2, Warm Snow, Victor Vran, and turn based JRPG games and the Yakuza games turn based or action. The only thing kind of hardware intensive graphics are the latest Yakuza/Like a Dragon games. Hades and Warm Snow have me interested in trying more rouguelites. Afterimage is getting me into metroidvanias. A bunch of games-games.

Yakuza and the JRPG can be narrative heavy but usually more over the top nonsensical or whimsical which I enjoy a lot more now that I’m getting towards middle age and edgy like I had thought as a teenager and in my 20s don’t feel as “adult” like how I now recognize “adult”

Regardless. Steam Deck 2 is going to be amazing long term because of the Switch 2 being the baseline for power for the next decade. PS4 isn’t dead for popularity yet either
