Is any game worth getting a ps5, let alone a premium version? The catalog is so anemic, it's mostly ps4 games, the only game that would interest me would be TLOU1 remake... but I got it on PC anyway

The PS5 is worth the price of admission even just to run all your PS4 games at reasonable frame rate, and load into games in less than a century.

I play plenty of current gen stuff, and the controller is awesome when they use it.

But there's so much last gen stuff that just had brutal load times every time you died that feel brand new with the (worse than native PS5 games still) reasonable loads.

Yeah like I get that the PS5 exclusive games are lacking but for anyone to suggest the hardware isn’t a huge upgrade in quality and usability is just nuts. As a PC gamer primarily, I can say that this is what upgrades are now. We’re not getting PS2 to PS3 jumps anymore. Consoles are just mid-grade gaming PCs and they’re going to get mid-grade PC upgrades and that’s ok.

I still use a GTX 1060 from 2017 in my PC. Just because it’s usable doesn’t mean an upgrade to a 4060 would be pointless.

Maybe why I'm not interested, I have no back catalog of games to play on PS, coming from PC gaming

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

maybe the AstroBot game next month.

I really only bought Returnal and Stellar Blade on PS5, and they're both either on or coming to PC anyway.

OK, I also bought Elden Ring and Final Fantasy 16, but of course ER is already on PC and FF16 is also coming to PC. (Do not buy FF16, it is a terribly shallow RPG and also terribly shallow action game with terribly shallow characters)

Stellar Blade was pretty dope. But it will be released for PC eventually, so…
