I've long resisted the gaming consoles, but gave up when the Horizon Forbidden West came out. To be honest, I was kinda excited. Imagine just putting a game in and playing right away... I could finally just play the game instead of role-playing an unpaid quality assurance employee!

Let's just say the setup procedure for my PS5 was not like that at all. Took me half a day to make it running stable. And the Assassin's Creed game that came with the console had the same fucking mandatory login form as on the PC! Except there was no keyboard...

Some time ago I also bought a PS5 and I regret it. It is absolutely not worth the hassle. Any benefits console gaming had are long gone.
