So I built my current PC last summer. More of a budget machine (GTX 1060 6GB, i5-9400f. ). Always played on PC, never had a console (Not counting PSP and some Famicom bootleg ). Damn, not so long ago I actually started using a controller.
Now with Series X announced - I wonder if I should get that. It's said to have GPU as powerful as RTX 2080 which is nuts since that GPU alone costs way more than the price we expect the console to have. Also apparently a budget version that can't display in 4K or get to 120fps or whatever? Not like my monitor can display these anyway and I don't plan on buying a new one so count me in.
My current PC is capable of running most of the stuff that I want it to run but RayTracing is like a slowly-spreading disease and I fear that Bethesda's "Next Gen" RPG-s (Starfield, ESVI. ) might use this technology. In such case I prefer to have the best vanilla visuals even at the cost of modding. Also it's said that it'll be backwards-compatible with 360 so I could play some older SoulCalibur games that didn't get a PC port or maybe TestDrive 2 that has been pulled out of Steam.
My question is - In case in which I'll decide to buy it when it releases - what am I actually getting myself into? I heard something of some kind of subscriptions. How do they work and for what do I need them for? Any pros/cons of console gaming that I might be unaware of?
