2028 it is then.
I tried buying the PS5 when it released, and couldn’t get my hands on one for nearly a year. Then I saw the content lagging and decided not to buy the PS5. I still don’t see why I would want a PS5 today. I got a fairly decent PC, so that can carry me for another 5 years or so
A reason I might buy a console used is because certain titles, like Nier Automata, were poorly ported to PC. I love that game, but the Steam version crashed a lot for me.
There's a fan made patch that fixes the major problems of the port. I played it totally fine using that.
Without that fan patch, I wasn't able to play at all. But further into the game, it started crashing every 10 - 20 minutes. Think the particular Radeon card I had at the time was poor compatibility. nVidia users might have had more luck.
It actually did end up getting a patch years later

I played before it though with I think the far mod and had no issues. Never bothered trying to play without the mod.
Yeah, I heard it fixed most of the issues. Haven't tried it yet. I have since switched from an AMD to nVidia card so maybe it works now.
