Also, various other action rpgs, both in japan and in the west. Actually most period that were made in that timespan. Do you even play videogames?
Whats the issue? I have a switch since day 1 and the only games I got for that were zelda botw, metroid dread and zelda totk. There just isnt a lot of modern games that interest me.
Nope I hate anime weeb shit like stellar blade. Before you say FF7 is weeb I dont care. I dont give a shit about non ff7 related ff games. FF7 is its own thing to me. Ronin looks like boring ubisoft game. I tried demons souls remake on ps plus trial and it was boring as I already played the og version back on ps3.
Your physical collection is going to be worthless when you're an old man when all of your physical games require day 1 updates from servers they can't connect to anymore.
Moderns games aren't going to appreciate in value.
I used to be a pc gamer, but I have so little time for games and so much stuff to do that I mostly play on xbox and occasionally switch.
Frick desks, frick m+k, frick sperg chairs, frick troubleshooting, frick not spending my diminishing screen time on my big fat TV on my big comfy couch.
Anyone who says "build a living room pc" isn't comfymaxing. Or married.
Pretty much this also having less and less interest in gaming as time goes on and a console is a cheaper investment that I can comfortably play on my couch for the handful of new games I might play a year. I have no use for upgrading a pc just to run some trash triple AAA shit. Most toaster PC's every household probably has can already emulate any of the older, usually better, games out there anyway.

these are 2 different things. Oh but I'll throw you a bone, when I say "nobody" I do mean nobody that plays games and is critical of them, because I don't think considering the, what, call of duty and fifa audience? or whatever? would really be an interesting aspect of any given discussion.

yeah I don't really care what my 11 year old nephew is playing. It's not something worth bragging about, and it's not why people would buy a gaming pc... to play fortnite, lmao. Lil timmy is just gonna get a ps4.
Did you get a 4070 super because that shit has so many driver issues we had to return it while the AMD card i think its called gre or something just worked.
Built mine 2 years ago.
Best decision I made.
Get all Xbox games for free on Gamepass (no i don't pay for Gamepass) and most PS games.
Not to mention emulation.
Once you go PC its kinda hard to go back to consoles.
>look at me guys i'm totally cool i just built my first pc does anyone even use consoles anymore lmao even though i was literally just using one like a month ago hahah pcmasterrace though for sure
christ anon your insecurity bleeds through pretty heavy.
PC gays always tell you how they can emulate everything but leave out the part where they have to tinker with the settings and it still runs like shit.

and that's just a normal day example
No because I already own a regular PS5 and even that purchase was highly questionable. I've played a whopping two exclusive games since purchasing the thing.
The dlss and ai stuff is nice, but I think my regular PS5 will suffice for stellar blade and bloodborne. Doubt I will get a ps6 unless there's very strong games for it.
>Depends, If the AI upscaling...
so, you want to buy another 1080p machine, again?
because according to current information this is the native resolution ps5 pro want to aim for all the enchanced titles
Sorry, I just built a pc and I'm keeping money aside for Nintendo's console some time next year, with those two combined I'll have all the games I could ever need to play right there. Life is good for me. You?
I really want to like the Switch (2), but the only game I'd be remotely interested in would be the next smash bros. I don't care for pokemon or Zelda. Is there any other reason to buy one when it releases?
Same. I realized they were scamming me every time I clicked "purchase" on the $60 a year for online services. I feel dumb for wasting ~$500 on that shit.
why would i buy a PS5 Pro when i only use my PS5 as a Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail machine? hell 120fps is feature exclusive to the iphone just because so it isn't like it will get higher framerates on those games.
at least Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart was fun while it lasted.
no but seriously, how is it still this bad? this is by far the worst console lifecycle of all time and it's not even close. The damn WiiU had better shit than this.
Everything is now multiplat because Steam is a back door into the Chinese market. Nintendo gets around it by having family friendly games that can actually get through he highly restrictive Chinese censorship and they're partnered with Tencent to sell the Switch in China.
wrong. there are tons of games that should have been just on ps5 but they were on ps4 also because the leap in technology between the consoles is miniscule.
If you mean Horizon and God of war they only got PS4 versions because nobody owned a PS5 due to the major scalping and shortage issues so Sony decided to shit them out to recoup.
same with RE4, Sniper Elite 5, Assassins Creed Mirage, Lies of P, Forspoken, Armored Core 6, Texas Chainsaw, Hogwarts Legacy, Dying Light 2, The Quarry, Elden Ring. Don't forget all the CODs and sports games.
None of these should have been on consoles that were released in 2013.
if graphics are what matters then PC wins. PS5 only justifies its purchase with exclusive games, not just enhanced games I can play on a console I already own which would be inferior to playing on a PC

it's mostly a cost thing. PS5 launched at $400-500 and is still trading blows with brand new $400 gpus 4 years later. In 2020-2021 when PC parts were at an all time hellish high it cost like $1500 to get a PC built that could start to rival a $400 PS5. People were buying 2070 Supers for $700-800

look at the top 15 games for PS5
10/15 of them are PS4 games. 2 are PS3 games. and 3 can only be played on a PS5. it's sad.
Nope.
I have a PS5 and had it since launch.
I play it here and there. Most of my gaming is on PC.
And with most Sony games coming to PC, I'm probably done buying Sony consoles altogether.
No. I just got a 1440p 120hz gaming monitor, and the upgrade feels about equivalent to what I experienced from PS4 Pro. I'd suggest anyone still using 1080p 60hz do likewise. It's a nice bump.
hasn't even been fully tapped
Bro they haven't even begun at this point.
There's only been like 2-3 AAA games that have been deved for the PS5 from the ground up other than the initial release lineup; Spiderman-2, FF7 Rebirth, and Stellar Blade.
Everything else that's been released as PS5 exclusives past that first wave with DeSo and Returnal and Ratchet have been multiplat games with PS4 in mind.
There's still another solid 5-8 years of real good dev cycle left for the PS5, if not more, but we're going to skip all that because the PS5 pro is coming out which means they can just bruteforce more shitty raytracing in and keep games at 30 fps with a 720p-upscaled-to-1440p for 60 fps performance.
>play RnC on pc last week >first modern sony game since the ps2 >heavily infantalized, even for a kids game but the gameplay is great >short as frick because all the money went to graphics
why would i buy a console for this. stellar blade is coming to pc later anyway
What is the ideal device to play video games for the person who plays nothing on PC and does not own a console?
I'm looking for a device for video games, but I don't play on a computer (I hate PC gaming) and I don't have the money (and I don't have a 4K screen either) to buy a console
unironically either a switch or a steam deck. Switch is nintendo walled garden but is nice and you can upgrade to a tv later. Steam deck is streamlined PC gaming with a console-style interface so even a moron can navigate it and use it.
No, there is no other option. >I don't want to play PC games. >I don't want to play nintendo games. >I don't want to buy a tv to play console games.
You don't want to play video games.

do not buy a series s where all your games will be 480p at 20fps. see
Yes I’m going to buy it, assuming I can find one. I got a series s and feel ripped off.
digital PS5 is $400 with Spiderman 2 (shit game) at Best Buy right now. Best hardware deal in gaming that exists right now if you can tolerate consoles

Why doesn't a chink company just make a smartphone form factor running some flavor of linux instead and plop some attachment points on the side for any of the large variety of phone controllers? That seems like a very reasonable device, they could probably sell it for like 100 bucks and people would have a field day with it
I mean if it was small like the ps4 slim or even the ps2 slim, id be happy. I just want a ps console that i can chuck in a bag and bring along. Not this hambone shit i gotta lug around like some old nuclear powered crt or fatman desktop pc.
any pro version is stupid because every game has to be optimized to run on regular PS5 as well, so unless they develop two different versions of the game, the differences will be superficial at best and pretty useless at worst
>because every game has to be optimized to run on regular PS5 as well
half these next gen only games are coming out running 540p-720p on PS5, if the Pro can get them up to 1080p and then use a DLSS-like AI upscale to 4k, it'll be a night and day's difference
Something will give here.
They can't keep releasing consoles and only having like 3 major game releases per console generation because games take like 8 years to make with morons on the back end deciding to make 300gb worth of 4k textures is worth delaying a game multiple years.
Do you think it's more likely that existing large companies will give up on making these massive AAA games that a generation to develop only to flop in favor of smaller more focused titles, or will they keep releasing them until they go out of business and are replaced by new studios?
nobody wants to deal with the bullshit of PC gaming and people want to play games at 1440p 60fps instead of 1080p 30fps, simple as. Xbox isn't an option because it has no 3rd party support like it's a fricking WiiU or something
Anon you're talking about an entire generation of people who have only used iphones.
The idea of making a file partition sounds like you're giving their computer aids or some shit
>buy something less powerful than a good pc just to play games still capped at 30fps due to incompetent devs while the funko-pop marvel riddled masses still defend the industry

I will only buy a PS5 if Sony beheads several of their Californian employees in public. I live in CA so I will attend.
Also I demand that a pornographic Dead or Alive game be released on the console.
I bought a PS5 (slim) for FF7 rebirth and likely wont use the PS5 again until part 3 of the remake comes out.
>I bought a PS5 (slim) for FF7 rebirth
hey man, seriously, i mean this. you're a gayget

When its the best one of the year it's worth it. You pcgays will figure that out 2 years from now.
Rebirth is probably the best action rpg made in over 20 years

>soulslike
LOL
You've had 13 years to git gud homie stop coping
No.
Even if it is, it's still insanely stupid to buy the console for just one game like that.
Whats the issue? I have a switch since day 1 and the only games I got for that were zelda botw, metroid dread and zelda totk. There just isnt a lot of modern games that interest me.
>I bought a PS5 (slim) for FF7 rebirth
You paid 600+$ for FF7?
yes. i dont play much games. There isnt a single other game on any platform this year i care about.
no interest in Stellar Blade or Ronin? Or Demon's Souls?
Nope I hate anime weeb shit like stellar blade. Before you say FF7 is weeb I dont care. I dont give a shit about non ff7 related ff games. FF7 is its own thing to me. Ronin looks like boring ubisoft game. I tried demons souls remake on ps plus trial and it was boring as I already played the og version back on ps3.
Do people unironically use consoles in 2024? I just built a gaming PC and never plan on looking back.
A GPU in Japan cost double as america. I don't want to give those bastards that much for the GPU. PS5 is as cheaper as a single PC component.
I got a 4090 on sale for $1350. Surely they can't cost that much more in Japan?
376,999 yen is 2,437.08 usd
Damn, why do people live in Japan again?
Anime girls are real there.
Just don't get a 4090. I got a 7900XT for 110,000円.
damn. Not even chinkoid gpus are cheap for y'all?
There is a big tax on them.

this is a joke of course, for legal reasons I am declaring as much
I shot abe because he wanted me to have sex.

If it runs DD2 at a locked 60fps, yeah
Uses the same CPU as the base PS5 just clock higher. Doubt it will hit it.

You don't want to play video games.

do not buy a series s where all your games will be 480p at 20fps. see
My main problem is that I have a 4K Television/modern screen (my TV is one of those old Audio and video ones)

something that is even cheaper than the damn switch and that is an anti-nintendo device
I don't see how a 4k tv is relevant when it comes to consoles since none of them play at that resolution natively, let alone at a suitable framerate.
even so.
my television is not HD or 4K at all
Any device that already has an integrated screen?
Remember: no PC, no Nintendo consoles and anti-steam deck

>can't be a portable PC or Switch
>needs to be cheaper than Switch
a smartphone is your only option then
Reasons why a Smartphone would be my ideal device for play video games?
it meets all your criteria.
Smartphones are definitely a blessing for gaming.
And what retro anti-Nintendo consoles can you recommend for me to emulate on my Smartphone?
>model: Xiaomi Redmi A2
>32 Bit operating system
>Android version: 13 GO edition
The rest of the specifications are on this image.
atari, commodore, playstation, sega
If I download the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Emulator my phone would look like a Sega Nomad

Why doesn't a chink company just make a smartphone form factor running some flavor of linux instead and plop some attachment points on the side for any of the large variety of phone controllers? That seems like a very reasonable device, they could probably sell it for like 100 bucks and people would have a field day with it
>OMG HARDWARE AND SPECS GUYS SO COOOOOOL OOOHHHH MYYY GOOODDD
>meanwhile ZERO fricking games for the ps5 or ps5 pro
Suck kiss my ass sony
>more console skus than games
Yes I’m going to buy it, assuming I can find one. I got a series s and feel ripped off.
I mean if it was small like the ps4 slim or even the ps2 slim, id be happy. I just want a ps console that i can chuck in a bag and bring along. Not this hambone shit i gotta lug around like some old nuclear powered crt or fatman desktop pc.
any pro version is stupid because every game has to be optimized to run on regular PS5 as well, so unless they develop two different versions of the game, the differences will be superficial at best and pretty useless at worst
>because every game has to be optimized to run on regular PS5 as well
half these next gen only games are coming out running 540p-720p on PS5, if the Pro can get them up to 1080p and then use a DLSS-like AI upscale to 4k, it'll be a night and day's difference
Something will give here.
They can't keep releasing consoles and only having like 3 major game releases per console generation because games take like 8 years to make with morons on the back end deciding to make 300gb worth of 4k textures is worth delaying a game multiple years.
Do you think it's more likely that existing large companies will give up on making these massive AAA games that a generation to develop only to flop in favor of smaller more focused titles, or will they keep releasing them until they go out of business and are replaced by new studios?
Oh absolutely the latter
nta but the latter. Rise of the planet of the indie devs.
Nope, I will be using my ps5 fat and they will optimize for it
nope, your gonna play new games at 30fps while the pro gays get 60fps
then I will sell my ps5 if sony just fricking releases 3 different models and each last model gets left behind
Why do consoles release with no games
Because the promise of games can still sell consoles without actually having to make the games
There are no games on any system right now. A bunch of games came out in 2023 but theres nothing really coming out this year or next year

there are more ps5 versions than there are ps5 games
How did Sony trick 50 million people to buy a PS5?
its kinda impressive
nobody wants to deal with the bullshit of PC gaming and people want to play games at 1440p 60fps instead of 1080p 30fps, simple as. Xbox isn't an option because it has no 3rd party support like it's a fricking WiiU or something
the people that complain about "the bullshit of PC gaming" are the morons who can't navigate a file system. makes sense they would buy a playstation.
Anon you're talking about an entire generation of people who have only used iphones.
The idea of making a file partition sounds like you're giving their computer aids or some shit
Nope, we can deal with it, I did for 10+ years, but sometimes we just want to play without doing anything else. Not that hard to grasp tbh
I already got ray-tracing on PC, so no, especially with with reshade raytracing getting pretty good
Depends. How much will it be?
the only good thing about the fricking PS5 is that it can play every PS4 at smooth 60 fps
PS5 is actually a PS4 Pro
consoles are the powdered drinks of gaming. too much of a hassle to brew some iced tea or squeeze a lemon for these monkeys.
hey don't be dissing my boi Tang, that shit's great
WHERE ARE THE FRICKING GAMES?
>buy something less powerful than a good pc just to play games still capped at 30fps due to incompetent devs while the funko-pop marvel riddled masses still defend the industry
sure, anon
I will only buy a PS5 if Sony beheads several of their Californian employees in public. I live in CA so I will attend.
Also I demand that a pornographic Dead or Alive game be released on the console.
