I didn’t expect to find a Dungeon Crawler Carl reference in this thread. Goddamn.

You absolutely can. You just need to setup an S3 bucket somewhere, be it cloud or a local S3 compatible storage like a minio server.

I totally get you. What really helped me was playing a shitton of single player shooters.

Not quite. Price of entry has always been cheaper and that’s not going to change anytime soon. Sure, consoles next gen are going to cost more but so do PC components and ports are infamously unoptimized. People in tech savvy communities also underestimate the value of a mostly plug and play experience.

The problem here is that I don’t see Sony reversing their decision and when the market leader does something the rest of the pack follows. Microsoft will undoubtedly scrap a disc drive for their nextgen PC/Console hybrid. The new disc to digital feature is just a means to soften the blow. So, whatever fuss we raise it doesn’t really matter. Sony has already decided to take the hit and move on.

Seems like a good time to play it for the first time too. I just need to find a decent recap of the first two

Control is an amazing game, I recently replayed it before finally starting Alan Wake 2 (it’s so damn good!) and while perhaps a bit too easy the story is imho one of the best in the medium.
