Older gamer thinking of slowly phasing out a high end PC
Good day!
I am 55, and been gaming since Atari, Commodore, through the early PC days of DOS etc and now current.
As I have gotten older I have become increasingly frustrated with dealing with drivers, especially in the case with AMD drivers, which I have to use older versions and cant even use frame generation because it makes Starfield crash.
I am loving Windrose, but in order to get good frames, just like in Oblivion, I need to use frame generation (maybe a UE5 optimization issue).
I work all day on my PC and after work I prefer to use a joystick to give my hands relief. I dont have carpal tunnel but sometimes its good to take a break. I usually play action games with a joystick, Diablo IV etc. I currently own an Xbox Series X and play MLB the Show on it and love it.
Where I am going with this is I am thinking of making all future big AAA title purchases on my Xbox rather than my PC. Fable is coming out soon and other games. At this point, a solid 60 fps rather than tinkering with trial and error, sounds lovely.
Have any of you started making this transition, tired of drivers, and adjustments and just want to settle with a console game espeically because as you get older a joystick feels better after work, and you can just fire it up and play, and you arent obsesssed with mods, etc.
I do have a Steam Deck as well, and love playing Dave the Diver, Dredge etc on it.
