This game is just something else.
Absolutely loving my time playing it and I'm hooked, playing it on the Deck.
Eidos-Montreal really have made these characters their own! KUDOS! They're not a bunch of A-Holes!
I think I’m going to do a video on it!

Well tonight I decided that GTA VI is to be played on the PS5 Pro.
I originally splashed the cash to get the Pro for this game, so may as well stay true to myself.
9 days to go. If only I could take the day off to play it!

Happy Sunday all!
What games are you playing this weekend?
At the moment, I’m heavily invested in Guardians of Galaxy. Such a fun game and the soundtrack is awesome too!

Need some quick squad advice!
I’ve got both the PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X, but PS5 Pros are currently fetching around £900 online.
Given how much I rely on quick-resume and handheld play, cashing out £850+ net right now feels tempting.
But GTA VI is on the horizon...
Is PSSR and extra ray tracing on the Pro worth holding onto nearly £900 of hardware, or will the Series X deliver 95% of the Vice City experience on a 4K OLED anyway?

Episode 1 loading...
Thanks for the feedback on the poll! The new series will feature a Dual-Device Settings Profile for each game—optimized settings for handheld (Steam Deck) vs. 4K/60fps couch play (Steam Machine).
Here are the first 4 games lined up:
1. Cyberpunk 2077 (Heavy AAA: Handheld battery vs. Living Room graphics)
2. Red Dead Redemption 2 (40fps handheld vs. Crisp 1440p/4K TV performance)
3. GTA IV (SteamOS optimization: DXVK, FusionFix & frame pacing)
4. The Witcher 3 (Best balance of power draw & visual fidelity)
Which one do you want to see dropped first? Let me know in the comments!
