Basically this for me too

Very smart play for sure. Only thing tying me to the possibility of Xbox's next console is having access to my Xbox (500+ games) and PC (400+) libraries in 1 box. If that weren't the case I would've jumped to PC already.

But if I do end up getting a steam deck I've got a feeling I'll fully migrate

Yeah, the timing before was very poor since gaming support for linux simply wasn't there. Very different situation now so I'm excited to see what they can cook!

They're SO good. Plus there's Humble Bundle, Fanatic, great site keys... the amount of money you save by buying PC games is crazy.

💯

Completely agree. My only issue would be my Xbox library since the overwhelming majority of it (450+ games) isn't Play Anywhere. So I'd probably need to keep my Series X too and well, the prospect of having 2 boxes isn't very appealing to me personally.

I'll see how it performs on release (specs can be misleading a lot of times) but I gotta be honest, this is getting me super hyped 😭

Man I'd need to keep my Xbox for my current library (doubt they'll put that new chip elsewhere), but this ecosystem synergy is *really* tempting me...

So basically better CPU but slightly weaker GPU. Although I will say valve has that secret sauce with the steam deck so I wouldn't be surprised if we see this little box punching above its weight too.

Definitely excited we're getting more competition in the space though!

Wish him a happy birthday from all of us brother! 🍰 🥳 🥂

One of my all-time favourites as well. I know this style of game isn't for everyone, but if folks are inclined I'll always recommend they start with the 1st KCD. The amount of lore, backstory and character attachment you get before the sequel is 100% worth it imo.

Right back at you bud!

I've been gaming since the mid 80s and imo there's a genuine case to be made that this was the best year ever.

Damn right brother, *too* many amazing games out there now!

I personally never really thought the NG games were that hard simply because they have this naturally flowing high pace to them where you can get away with easy combos. I have a *much* harder time with souls games for example.

Trust me if I can do it you'll 100% be able to as well 😂

Tons of awesome bangers in there!

It is catchy.

I'm definitely enjoying my time with TOW2 but yeah, absolutely not. I'm not even sure I like it better than the 1st game lol
