Thing is I would choose Zelda links awakening at its measly frame rate and low res any day over League of Legends or any popular pc title.How do console players justify paying for low framerate, low resolution games and early access, as they exist on console as well....
See how that can be turned around? Btw if rumors are true, say goodbye to the handful of exclusives, with lower resolution, lower framerate on next gen consoles, compared to pc.
Hackers exist on every console. Ever play COD, Apex, GTAV, or any other competitive multiplayer game on console? Full of hackers and modded lobbies, using all kind of exploits. Very disingenuous comparison, as hackers will be on every platform. So essentially paying to play with hackers, vs free online gaming with hackers. And there are thousands upon thousands of free titles on pc, compared to the "free" games you paid for with the monthly subscription.Thing is I would choose Zelda links awakening at its measly frame rate and low res any day over League of Legends or any popular pc title.
On the subject: Paying for multiplayer Is worth it alone to not deal with hackers. It ruins online for me personally. PC gamers always downplay it but it’s rampant in every popular multiplayer game on pc. And the lucrative thing about monthly sub is the free games.
The problem is simply that we have no choice, once Xbox started doing it, Sony also followed to capitalise on it.
They talk about "free" games from sony or M...
I mean, have you ever seen a free games on pc? Cmon...
Much harder to hack on console. Modded lobbies are mostly a ps3/Xbox 360 era issue on console. Considering if you jailbreak a PS4 you cannot play it online. It’s going to be an issue on cross play games that’s why I turn crossplay off when I can.Hackers exist on every console.

I've had every Playstation since day 1 of each release. I played a lot of online multiplayer from PS3 forward. Those complaints whilst true are exaggerated and so is justifying the price of entry for improving service and features on Xbox. I'm not against Xbox, I currently own an X as well as the Pro, but you sound like you'e just defended Microsoft for doing what they are doing. It was greedy for them to charge and it was Greedy for Sony to follow suit. Let's not sugar coat it.Lets be clear though. MS didn’t see what people were doing and decide to monetise it. They started the whole online console gaming gig (Dreamcast doesn’t fully count). And it was fucking years before Sony followed suit, and whilst I never played PS online, I remember a shit ton of people complaining how bad it was. MS channeled the profit into improving the Live service and took features like those used in Halo 2 and made them standard. It was worth the entry price for all of the above.
But like I said earlier, at this point, paying for it feels out-dated. I think MS know this which is why they Bundle games with it and have Gamepass Ultimate.
Of course i was being sarcastic.Are you being sarcastic? There's actually plenty of free games on PC. Epic Store has been giving them out and sometimes Steam does too. These are free to keep. No bullshit fee you have to pay to play them again like PSN.
I remember when online gaming was free on PS3 but I still liked MP on the 360 better.

PSPlus and Xbox Live Gold have put me off console gaming as well. If there's no cross-platform play for PS5 and Xbox Elite Series (or whatever it's called) then I'll just stick to PC gaming.
But.On a plus side, on PS4 you can play F2P games without paying for PS+.
MS charge you to play free games.....
But.

It's something that should be free. You pay 60 usd for a game and that should cover single player and also multiplayer.I have trouble understanding the problem? I am a Xbox Ultimate Game Pass subscriber (so Gold + Gamepass), it's 12,99€ a month which is cheap considering the offer, before that I was a Gold subscriber since 2003 or 2004 and it costed 59,99€ a year so less than 10€ a month, so pretty cheap too. PS3 was maybe free but the online experience was nowhere near Xbox Live back then. I don't see how paying 13€ a month is a problem considering that a videogaming experience at its core is a costly one (you need at least an HDTV ou Monitor, a console, some kind of sound system or headset, a house to put all that stuff in, an internet access and of course electricity) so 13 or 10 a month (I don't know how much PS+ costs) doesn't seem excessive in that regard.
