I found the ps4 very refreshing when I moved to it from 360. It ran well, the ui wasn’t mostly advertising space, and the controllers are still the most comfortable controllers I’ve ever used.
When the ps5 was announced I did the math, for the cost of a console, second controller, and a game I could buy the powerful budget pc I had bought the year before, so I just moved wholly to pc. I’m still using that same pc with very few modifications and it’s still doing excellent at everything I play. Turns out, when all your favorite franchises stopped making new games in 2014 and all the best indie games can run on toasters, you really don’t need to do more than general maintenance.
Then Sony showed their hand. They were the main reason cross save and cross play on warframe took 4 years to happen. Some of my cosmetics are still locked if I play the game anywhere other than a Playstation console. It’s one thing to set your price bar too high, it’s another to hold all my hard work in my favorite game hostage. So I’ll buy a ps5 when I can immediately hack it and load it with pirate games.
I bought a PS5 because I really wanted to upgrade my GPU, but that was way more than a PS5.
And the haptic feedback on the triggers is fucking insane. I think those work with PC now tho?
But I hadn’t had a console since PS3 days. If we’re going by Ship of Thesius rules tho, my 30 year old gaming PC is probably still a little more powerful than a PS5.
