My new toy basically splits the difference between console, handheld, and PC.

I feel like the best use care for this might be to play PS3/360 era games. Playing FFXIII, even with 8xAA, the GPU sits at like 30-50% usage. If I'm playing a game that taxes the GPU 100% the battery life is only like an hour.

I've had my 256GB for almost a couple of months. It's great. Yes, I agree if it's mostly for portable use you're best suited with older games. Though if at home or docked, it's not an issue. There are options like Deck Mate and others that have clip-on battery bank attachments. If you look on Etsy, there's a ton of options for accessories.

As a reference, playing Halo MCC I get a little under 3 hours, and playing Ori & The Blind Forest I get a little over 5 hours. This is with default settings on each game, brightness a touch under medium, and volume at an audible level.

I used to be mainly a console player, until my friends finally convinced me to build a pc which eventually led me to discovering custom keyboards and the audiophile lobby.

I still play both, but PC is where it's at for me since all my friends are there now and it has so much more to offer.

I do both but preferr the more powerful format with better controls. Most of the time that is pc and that is why pc gamers often are called elitistic :p

Simplicity with console are quite nice though and for many genres very sufficient. Can easily live with less impressive graphics most of the time.

PC only since my Xbox 360 gave up after years of service; as much fun as I had with the Xbox, it's just such a waste of money to buy console these days if you plan on owning a PC. Especially with how far emulation has come, lol.

We ran that old 360 sure ran into the dirt though, I tell ya. Towards its end, we had removed the outer chassis and placed a hefty rock onto the CD drive because the drive would not work without it :laughing:
