ButterySmooth30FPS

Playing the original F.E.A.R. at >=1080p 60fps after having recently beaten the PS3 version

Series X is a nice F.E.A.R, Half Life 2, FPS Boost, and backwards-compatible machine.

Flight Sim 2024 sounds very interesting, like there's much more to do than the other games.

Forza Horizon. I love the idea of that kind of relaxing adventure game, and the spectacular intro movies. But then the gameplay starts and it's very "How do you do, fellow kids?"

A Series X|S optimization would be nice, but will probably never happen...

Love PlayStation, but until they can match Xbox's backwards-compatibility and FPS Boost I'll keep my Series X.

Exclusive IP drives console sales. If everything was available everywhere, what makes one console necessary over another?

PS5 for most third-party stuff, PS5 Pro enhancements when that comes out, and if a game utilizes DualSense features.

Series X for exclusives, FPS Boost, and backwards-compatibility (being able to avoid the slow and glitchy PS3 versions of Fallout 3/New Vegas, Orange Box, and F.E.A.R. make the console worth it by itself)

Switch for exclusives, pixel games, visual novels, and the rare case where Switch has a definitive version of a game (Bastion, Deadly Premonition, Trails to Zero/from Azure)

PS3 for exclusives, 7th Gen games not available on Series X, PS2 and PS1.

@xxk7xx It does run at locked 30fps without FPS Boost, but I haven't tried turning off auto HDR.

@xxk7xx I noticed that, too. Turning VRR off helped a bit, but there's still random slowdown...

F.E.A.R. 1 & 2 were completely smooth the whole way through, not sure what's going on in 3.

It's hilarious to think that the dastardly Sony used their unfair power and influence to... plant a reviewer on an Xbox fansite to mildly irritate the readers.

Anyway, I'm still undecided on the main game because as much as I love space and RPGs, I have no experience with Bethesda games. You can find brand new copies on eBay for $20. Might take a punt.

First ever sale for F.E.A.R. 3, also!
