Man, I got a ps5, but after 100%ing bugsnax and astro bot, I'm not really feeling paying full price on any of the existing games... Maybe I'll just replay Control.

I somehow have never played uncharted despite owning a ps4 since it first came out. I started playing it this weekend, it's pretty fun. They should make more games like this.

They're very chill "exciting" games. Nothing too taxing, but very pretty to look at and they don't overstay their welcome (mostly)

if you're starting on the first and enjoy it, you're going to love the following ones. the second is a huge step up from the first.

they are excellent "dumb guy" games from 2 on. 1 isn't terrible just hadn't found its footing and now feels very dated compared to the rest

Uncharted is just the video game equivalent of Indiana Jones or National Treasure. They're great.

Never played any of them past the PS3 days but they were real real good.

Uncharted 4 is the most satisfying wrap up to Nathan Drake's "career" that anyone could have hoped for. Absolutely gorgeous, and the story manages to stick its Uber-Schmaltz ending.

i always liked the uncharted games until i got about 3/4ths through. at that point the bullet sponges got so absurd that i stopped having much fun. finished 1 and 2, skipped 3, and gave up on 4 when it stopped being enjoyable

too bad, because they are great looking and have good stories

are you looking for that first ps3 gen specifically? the first gen ones are super loud, apparently the second gen ones are much better and are also a matte finish.

Yes, or just the HDMI cable and an Xbox controller. that's what I do.

There's a remastered version of crash bandicoot on steam that is a lot of fun and also hard as gently caress. I don't remember the original game being that hard

Also: Steam Big Picture Mode

Retroarch if you wanna get fancy and emulate. I don't think the PS3 emulator has a Retroarch core yet but it's supposedly getting pretty good.

it’s good and worth it when it’s on sale. the same amount of polish, if not more, on a smaller game. i love the cast of characters they have and hope they find a way to keep the franchise going. i’d play a sully prequel series so hard.

well i was wanting something that could also do psx/ps2 with no mod. but ive changed my mind b/c sagebrush (wisely) shamed me. im gonna just run my PC output to the big teevee and that'll be plenty for fun poo poo

Oh yeah. In-home streaming is also v good.

PSX and PS2 emulation is also also good. Same with Gamecube/Wii. I think the Xbox line are the only consoles without decent emulators these days.

I do the HDMI + Xbox controller on my PC to TV and it rules. Plenty of couch + controller games and to play. These days there are more playable "console" games on PC than ever

tbqh you should get this done even if you don't intend to game with it, having your pc hooked up to your tv turns out useful more often than one thinks.

Moonlight plus a Bluetooth controller works fantastic for in house stuff. I use that setup to play snowrunner on the couch with an iPad.

if you have a laptop that can plug into your tv via HDMI that would work just fine.

yeah, i've heard good things, i was just burnt out on the series by the time it came out and never got around to it. maybe i'll give it a go if i see a sale

i'm still plugging away at deathloop at the moment. it's really fun and i'm getting good gear. i suspect i'm past the halfway point and am mostly just figuring out how to put the last few pieces together before going for a win the game run.

hdmi is certainly easier and cheaper, but you could also consider something like an nvidia shield if you find yourself in a situation where an hdmi cable to your tv or the controller connection to your pc from the couch isn't practical
