I honestly don't understand why people keep buying these. It's not like games look that much better compared to cheaper models.
And what's really surprising to me: who exactly pays those scalper prices? Who can justify shelling out 1-2000 currency units for a (part of a) toy?
The entire industry lost its direction. It's only about some artificial numbers go up and no one even tries to come up with a reason for those numbers.
I have a graphics degree that I never use. But I know damn well that graphics advancements are not smoke and mirrors. The endgame has been the same for decades. All of the new graphic features existed for a long time in movies/TV. Now, we are finally getting those features to render in real time. It's so damn amazing.
I game on a 65" OLED from about 2 feet away. So yeah, there is a difference when one cranks the settings.
But then again, I'm apparently crazy because I'm a cloud gamer. But having the equivalence of a $3,000 PC for $16/month using a $700 laptop is a no brainer. And people saying the picture and lag is terrible is simply not true.
With that said, I'm happy that it doesn't matter to you. Because that saves you from having the need to have cutting edge equipment.
They'll still haven't rolled out FtH Internet here. It's a coin flip sometimes as to whether PSN will let me stream games or boot for like bandwidth.
