The author began gaming at age four with a Super Nintendo and has primarily engaged in PC gaming. They appreciate the versatility and upgrade potential of gaming desktops but acknowledge challenges in the PC gaming landscape as of 2024. Common issues include mismanagement of resolution and scaling in AAA titles, with games often defaulting to lower resolutions and lacking optimization for ultrawide monitors. Gamers may struggle with incorrect automatic resolution adjustments, as seen in titles like Cyberpunk 2077, and may need to modify .ini files for desired settings. The terminology surrounding upscaling technologies can be confusing, with different games using various terms for similar features. Some games overwhelm players with excessive graphics settings, making it difficult to determine their impact on performance. The lack of standardized previews for graphics settings complicates decision-making, and many games require restarts after changing settings without clear guidance on when this is necessary. Overall, the author desires a more streamlined experience in PC gaming compared to the plug-and-play nature of consoles.
