Not to derail from the awesome Armored Core 6 conversation but I just realized that FFXVI is PS5 exclusive for 2023 and any hype I had for the game was instantly gone.

Just got to wait 3+ years for a scuffed PC port, what's there to be mad about?!

Hopefully we should get a PC version in 2024, however I am worried about a terrible port instead of it having a dedicated PC version being made. Still really frustrating to know I have to wait another 6+ months to play it because I have no want to buy a PS5 for a singular game.

Honestly same here. My country gets shafted hard when it comes to gaming because it's not considered as a worthy market by many companies, and consoles are really expensive here. Only ever had a second-hand PS3 I got from my brother in Australia. Besides... I personally find consoles a massive palaver. I get why console companies go hard on exclusives - especially looking at you Nintendo - and that it's business, but they leave a bad taste in my mouth. Wish the game creators made better ports. I remember buying FFIX on Steam and for some reason it's configured by default to use a controller and needs some diving-in to fix to use KBM (since OFC you can't change that in-game). It made me so mad that I didn't even bother touching it again.

Edit, I completely forgot I used to have a Nintendo 3DS. Think I blocked it out from my memory because it was so darn expensive to buy + get the games for. I bought the cartridges for 4 times the price of a dedicated PC game at the time.
