It is not really my type of game. But surprised others didn’t like it.
Ratchet is my favorite series.
I haven’t loved a new Ratchet game since A Crack in Time, from 2009. Not that the last 3 games were terrible, but I haven’t enjoyed them nearly as much.

Bad experience with Steam? What happened?
I have a PS5 and Linux PC with mainly Steam on it. Both connected to my big TV and sound system. I have gotten super cheap games as well as free games. Works great with my Xbox controller too.

With all do respect, that has nothing to do with Steam, and just you not knowing how to troubleshoot computers.

Thanks, I’m sure you’ve never made a typo on an online forum.
I wasn’t trying to assume anything about you or your life. Just that those issues are not Steam problems but PC problems. If you want something that just works out of a box, I will not disagree that a console is the way. I’m a huge supporter of consoles as well as PC. As someone else said “you don’t know anything about me”.

Lol alright. Have a good one buddy.
I primarily play on PC, but I’ve always understood this part as the reason why so many people just prefer consoles - and there’s nothing wrong with that. No hassle, just open the console and start playing. While PC does give more customizability and a much bigger library of games accessible through the same machine, it’s also more likely to run into some platform-related issues here and there.
It’s all about finding the balance between negatives and positives: personally I’ll rather just deal with the occasional random problems since the reward is the huge library of games and (usually) better end result.
But I do understand why someone else might go for consoles - as long as it has enough games which you can enjoy, the limited library isn’t really a problem anyway.
I’ve rarely had any real problems, but I’ve also been using windows PC as my main platform for like 30 years at this point - many fixes/workarounds are just intuitive for me at this point (“oh just press alt+enter”), while they might be a confusing dealbreaker for a newcomer. Anyone arguing that “using PC is just as easy!” probably doesn’t realize how many different small things they’ve learned over time while using the platform, or they’ve just been lucky and never ran into a persistent issue (like the one that you described). Or they’re just more interested in the platform as a whole, and happily spend some time learning to use it.
I feel like the main problem with your previous comment is just that you stated “bad experiences with Steam”, while you’re talking about PC issues in general. What you described there (probably) isn’t caused by Steam. But this, again, comes back to just not understanding the platform, which is an understandable reason to just go play on a console instead - less hassle and all that.
Exactly this. I wasn’t trying to be a dick, just pointing out it wasn’t a Steam specific problem. Literally wasn’t trying to insinuate anything else.
