I still don’t have a 4k TV either. The PS5 is friggin HUGE. My space is at a premium.

You know what? I barely play the games I already have. I should just go to the gym.

    Blind fanboyism?

    Swarfega,

    I said I wish I hadn’t purchased the PS5 due to the poor library of games in comparison to the PS4 era on Reddit. Proceeded to get downvotes.

    I play, like, fine games. In very irregular binges. Why the fuck would I shill out 500 Euros, to raise my binges’ fps?

    I could have waited it out probably another 2-3 years if I wasn’t gifted one. Still have LOTS of PS4 titles I’ve been meaning to play. In fact, most of the games I play on my PS5 are PS4 games.

    For me, it was:

    • You couldn’t get one for ages when it came out, so I missed the initial hype period.
    • When it did finally become available, it was prohibitively expensive.
    • There are no real killer exclusives or features so no particular reason to upgrade, aside from games looking nicer.
    • Sony is releasing all the good stuff on PC now, so if I want to play a nicer-looking version of a PS4 game I can just do that.
    • Steam Deck

    All the games are in both consoles. If amything, it’s dragging down PS5 ppl.

    And it’ll be the last GTA some of us ever see.

    My ps5 is basically a really big PS4 lately.

    It also doesn’t help that a bunch of games have an upgrade charge, I mostly just use it for Blu-ray lately.

    johannesvanderwhales,

    Yeah, but at the same time it makes the PS4 games a much better experience. I dunno if that justifies the spend for a lot of people, but I don’t regret getting one.

    Hmm, that seems optimistic to me…

    “most anticipated game ever” - it’s just SIMs with guns. Settle down. It’s not doing anything new.

    SynopsisTantilize,

    Yea. Gta5 was cool and all…but the main campaigns didn’t feel cohesive at all. Something was lost in gta5

    Most people don’t need the newest and expensive tech. From the last 30 days of active games on Playstation brand, here a split PS3/PS4/PS5 (I just show a ratio that is set in relation to the numbers of players for the game), meaning left side is older console:

    ps-timetracker.com/statistic/last-30-days

    • - / 42 / 14 Fortnite (3 times)
    • - / 3 / 2 Roblox (1.5 times)
    • 0 / 33 / 9 Minecraft** (3.7 times)
    • - / 14 / 9 Cod:MW2 (1.6 times)
    • - / 38 / 12 GTA V (3.2 times)
    • - / 23 / 8 Rainbow Siege (2.9 times)
    • - / 26 / 8 Apex Legends (3.3 times)
    • - / 17 / 7 Overwatch 2 (2.4 times)
    • - / 1 / 1 EA Sports FC 24 (1 time)

    Edit: I have added simple math result in how many times the PS4 player base is big as the PS5 player base. Just out of curiosity and to provide a quicker way of scanning through the list.

    (**ps3 players almost at 0 level for this game)

    As you can see, all games are available for PS4 and they run decent enough, are multiplayer games and the new consoles do not offer anything substantial for these kind of players.

    I only bought a ps4 well after the 5 dropped, and only because my pal had got a new xbox and wasn’t playing with his ps4 anymore. Long story short I got the ps4, 3 controllers, and 5 hardcopy games for £50 and a joint. Until I can get a ps5 for that…I ain’t upgrading

    Here are the trends with previous consoles:

    PS1 : 455 -> PS2 : 512 -> PS3 : 180 -> PS4 : 58 -> PS5 : 15

    Xbox : 106 -> Xbox 360 : 214 -> Xbox One : 12

    Nintendo 64 : 129 -> Nintendo Wii : 328 -> Nintendo Wii U : 38 -> Nintendo Switch : 174

    desktop_user,

    where is the GameCube or xbox series?

    Kit,

    I don’t think Xbox Series has exclusives. All of their stuff is on PC afaik.

    golden_zealot,
    @golden_zealot@lemmy.ml avatar

    There is no listing in the source for Xbox Series, however Gamecube shows 80 exclusive titles.

    gravitas_deficiency,

    And that’s why the newest console I own is a Switch, and everything else I play is on PC.

    Rai,

    I’ve even moved all my Switch playing to PC hahaha

    TeNppa,

    Now do the same for PC

    golden_zealot,
    @golden_zealot@lemmy.ml avatar

    The source notes that for Mac there have been 2 exclusive games across all versions, and for Windows, there have been about 2560 across all versions. There doesn’t appear to be a listing for Linux unfortunately.

    adavis,

    That’s super interesting. Do you have a source you could link for this data?

    CluckN,

    They’re a gamer what other credentials do you need?

    golden_zealot,
    @golden_zealot@lemmy.ml avatar

    I just referenced the data in the wikipedia container article here for some select consoles.

    en.wikipedia.org/…/Category%3ASingle-platform_vid…

    Moonrise2473,

    So the Xbox one series (aka Xbox one 2) has zero dedicated games?

    golden_zealot,
    @golden_zealot@lemmy.ml avatar

    It depends on how the source categorized the information and how Microsoft classifies the Xbox One versus the Xbox One Series (whether as being two actual different consoles, or two versions of the same console.)

    en.wikipedia.org/…/Category%3ASingle-platform_vid…

    There is only one entry for anything related to Xbox One as far as I can see so I expect the 12 it notes are distributed across all versions of the Xbox One, or that there are 0 dedicated games for the Xbox One Series proper.

    Carighan,
    @Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

    That’s a good thing - as the consumer.

    The less exclusives, the better. We don’t need lock-ins, we need open platforms and open systems. If I want a plug&play gaming experience I can buy a console, if I want maximum performance and quality in a more maintenance and setup intensive package I can build my own PC.

    gravitas_deficiency,

    For real - it’s so nice nowadays being able to play nearly any hot new game I want to on my desktop. Never been a huge fan of consoles - keyboard+mouse was always far more natural for me, but then again I was big into C&C and SC when I was a kid. The only console I’ve really loved since the N64 is the switch, and that’s largely because I can bring it on a long flight and fuck around in ZELDA: BOTW or TOTK for hours on end, which is awesome (I tend to avoid putting games on my personal dev laptop, and it also only has an iGPU).

    wickedrando,

    MKB is more natural because controllers are redesigned constantly to create a false sense of innovation. The fundamentals of controlling a figure on a screen have not changed, nor have hands.

    mrfriki,

    Jesus, only 4 games in that otherwise short short list ring a bell for me.

    srwax,

    Its a good time to be a PC player. I mean, it was before. But it is now, too.

    TheOakTree,

    Shouldn’t FF16 also be on this list? Given that FF7 Rebirth will almost definitely see a PC port, I don’t think the ongoing development of an FF16 PC port should exclude it from the list.

    BigTrout75, do gaming w Half Of PlayStation Players Still Haven't Upgraded To PS5

    I upgraded to PC running Linux instead

    Muffi, do gaming w Half Of PlayStation Players Still Haven't Upgraded To PS5

    All the greatest recent games run super well on the Steam Deck, so there’s no need for a giant console cosplaying as a router.

    thingsiplay,

    All the greatest recent games run super well on the Steam Deck

    I get what you are telling here, but it’s not 100% accurate, generally speaking. It might be true for you personally. I own a first gen Steam Deck myself and its just a complementary hardware to my PC (and wonderful at that). It does not run all greatest games at all or in some cases limited and problematic. So “super well” is a little bit exaggerated, but that does not take away how fantastic the device is.

    The_Che_Banana,

    Right? I’ve had the Xbox since the beginning, didn’t get the last upgrade and finally sold the One to get a steam deck.
