Yeah I like it actually. I also leave motion blur and chromatic aberation on in games. Not really in to that overly-clean/artificial look some people seem to prefer, tbh.

I like it. Makes it feel like you're playing a 70s sci-fi movie or something. At least in ME1 it always felt right to me. I can't be the only one who enjoys film grain in Mass Effect.

Chromatic aberration has to go. I turned that off in Cyberpunk immediately.Yeah I like it actually. I also leave motion blur and chromatic aberation on in games. Not really in to that overly-clean/artificial look some people seem to prefer, tbh.

Only in the 2007 Mass Effect
Yeah it's around 90GB or so.
Eh 30fps cutscenes wouldnt be a deal breaker. Smooth motion/motionflow makes everything 120/240fps anyways.
Yeah, I did the PC-on-the-living-room-TV thing in my last place, but when I moved I made a conscious decision to keep them separate in my new setup. There's a beautiful simplicity to just picking up the controller and being ready to go 100% of the time. I still have my PC in the PC dungeon for PC-centric stuff, but I've reached a point in my life where I lack the mental overhead to focus on it.
A tidbit from Twitter: apparently you can adjust the intensity of the film grain effect (in ME1 at least). I believe it was simply on/off before.
This 110%. While the PC gaming on TV experience has improved over the years, for me it's still too involved. I keep my PC gaming on my monitor and and my XSX and PS5 on the CX.
Your 3080 can do 120hz in most games, especially ME: LE, which the consoles will not be able to do (not without sacrifices on Series X and no support on PS5 altogether in ME:LE). Windows is not designed to be used with a gamepad but Steam manages it well most of the time. The initial mundane process of installing dependencies "next" "next" "next" is automated now and kept in the background when you first run a game. Things do take an unexpected turn, like a firewall interrupt for instance, an air mouse is handy so you can interact from the couch with ease. Its a trade off that is ultimately worth it for some and not for others.You guys are describing a struggle I have been having for years now.
I have a 3080-equipped PC, and it's great. It's plugged into an LG C9, but the PC experience on a TV still isn't as easy or convenient as on my XSX or PS5. And, in previous generations, it was easy to think around - the PC offered a demonstrably superior experience to the overwhelming number of 30fps titles on the XOX and PS4. But, the new systems now overwhelmingly offer 60fps gameplay, even if it's using upscaling, and a number of 120hz titles on top of that.
I want to keep buying everything on PC, because that's what I've instinctively always done, but the argument to do it is becoming thinner and thinner. Mass Effect trilogy is the latest one - I KNOW that I'll get an amazing experience on the XSX, but my lizard brain keeps prodding me into buying it on the PC, where it's a dice roll whether the port will be reasonable.

It's a straight on/off switch (no slider). I have it switched off.
And it also has native controller support which the original trilogy did not.That's all very true. I wish Microsoft and/or Valve would do something about the ease of use from the couch, though. And, my god, I WISH Microsoft would fix 5.1 bitstream audio over HDMI. But, you're right, ME will perform better on my PC than on the consoles, so that's where I'll probably end up buying it.

Microsoft absolutely needs to streamline the Xbox app with a console-like dashboard. It makes even more sense to do it to push the Game Pass Ultimate and Play Anywhere initiative. Boot up xCloud and you get a console-like UI which is fully controller driven. Their desktop app needs a Big Picture mode of its own. Hopefully this is on their roadmap.

Out FridayGame is out in 12 hours, any PC vs console comparisons yet? Tossing up between Series X or PC. I think I want the comfy couch lol
