eh? I have enjoyed warband for hundreds of hours, and I would very like to be able to play it on PS4 eventually, as a macbook would probably not be sufficient to run a game like this

Please. Make the proper investment and buy a decent gaming pc. Console games are sucking the life out of real game development. With their streamlined graphics and streamlined controllers which can never be used like mouse and keyboard it's a frustration not only for console users, but the pc versions are constantly downscaled because noone wants to have 2 dev-versions of the same game.

That's because people don't want to spend thousands of dollars to get a rig that can come up with graphics that consoles do with their magic for a quick couple hundred bucks. Unless you're a pc master race fanatic, upscaled 4k on consoles is just as good as 4k on pc. Given that majority of good games I played in 2018 were console exclusives with the multiplatforms being console versions first and ports to pc afterwards, my current pc might be my last true gaming rig I own. Because why would I bother with building a new one when the next console gen is probably around the corner (at least for Sony), most high quality singleplayer games will be there not to mention exclusives, the console will probably last for 5-6 years as alwasy, and the only thing still exclusive to pc are strategy games for me and those typically run on poor builds anyway.

I understand what you're saying, but polygon count is usually lower for consoles, and as said, "I find the controls poor" would be an understatement. I do not understand, how you can play anthing above the complexity of Super Mario on a console controller.

Sure it's lower, it has to be simply because consoles are at best mid range pc specs at launch and fall behind with every new generation of pc components. And while some games are just made for playing on a pad, others are not and that's just that. BUT:

Next step is to officially offer support for K&M control which should be fairly easy. So yeah, once strategy games become something common on consoles (which will be doable if consoles are built with pc components instead of those custom made chips like they used to be), I'm moving to consoles. And let's keep in mind that all major platform holders (Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo) keep talking about cloud gaming - once that happens, we won't need pcs as we know them because we won't even be allowed to install any of the games files outside of a streaming client. Sucks, but it probably will be our future in a decade or two.

How unironic it is that you of all people are here telling someone else to not tell someone else to do something.

But the greatest irony of all is that even if we were all as shrewd and informed as we could possibly be with our consumption, short of telling the future, Bannerlord would still not be out
