I liked the price point of the PS5 vs getting a solid gaming PC.
Returnal is one of my favorite games of the last few years.
Demon’s Souls is a delight for the eyes, as well. And I loved being able to replay such a classic PS3 game, even if Bluepoint modified the art direction from the original in certain ways.
FF16 was incredible, I don’t care if they trimmed down the jrpg elements
Sony seems content sending many of its exclusives over to PC after a few years, which I’m grateful for. So if you’ve got a PC I wouldn’t see a huge need for a PS5.
Good point, but Returnal is on PC and you can play with mouse kB, Demon Souls is a remaster of something I played on PS3 which blew my mind then. And FF16 has mixed reviews. I’m more into FF7 part 2, but the complete dlc edition will eventually reach PC as well.
Diablo IV: Uber Lilith. I did just about everything else, got my character up to Level 100. Then the first season ended (which I didn’t even do) and somehow my character got nerfed – even basic enemies were suddenly much harder for no apparent reason. I was considering changing and upgrading my gear for this final challenge but I couldn’t even fight my way around the map anymore. Screw that.
Triangle Strategy. I hit a number of points where I had to think hard to make my decision and even then I wasn’t sure if it was what I should’ve gone with. Trying to save and reload to pick something else is futile since I’d just run into another tough decision down the line which modifies things further and it’d take too long to play through multiple key points. It’s an amazing strategy game as well.
I own a ps5, a switch and Surface Go 1 running Linux for administrative work. It’s my perfect combo.
For sure, I’m mostly playing Ps4 games on my ps5, but I wouldn’t be able to play demanding games on my ps4.
Newer games aren’t available on ps4 and I hope it’s gonna be a really long generation as I hope they’re not gonna try to make us upgrade to a ps6 in a few years. I don’t really care about crazy graphics anymore as I think we’ve reached a really nice point and AAA games are already so expensive to produce.
I kind of only play on the PlayStation 5 as the switch is for my kids.
A Steam Deck could also be a nice replacement for my Surface Go as it would allow me to play some PC strategy games.
The reason is PC part prices. If you want an affordable in on modern gaming, you get a PS5 or Xbox. Yeah, you can get used parts, change settings, upsampling, upgrade down the line. But tell that to the person who just wants to buy a machine that lets them play games, hard to convince people to likely go through a bigger hassle, pay more, and have to assemble, set it up, and manage it themselves. I own a gaming PC and an OLED Switch, and if a friend asked me, I‘d tell them to just get a PS5. I would‘ve said something different five years ago.
I haven’t found a compelling reason to not just build a solid gaming pc, then buy a Chromecast and steam link to it.
Latency is quite low on a wired connection, I can stream 4k to my TV, and I can use an Xbox controller. You literally couldn’t tell me the difference most of the time.
I’m rocking an 11th gen Intel i9, 4060 ti, and gigabit network wired between PC <-> chromecast.
Just make sure you get the latest chromecast that can handle 4k streaming though!
Not to wire ethernet into a chromecast, you need a USB c adapter, those dongles that take in USB C power, ethernet, etc. It has a single fully functional USB c port, so you can also connect wired USB and all the jazz to it if needed.
I already skipped the ps4 and instead built a PC, as you can see from my avatar Sony doesn’t have anything to offer me anymore since japanese third parties started porting everything to PC and they closed down japan studio.
Also the PC version is often not censored or at least has a patch.
PS4 and Xbone was the first generation I skipped. I always waited to see what console I was going to get first but then that whole gen just came and went before I knew it. I kind of wanted a switch this gen but I could never justify it to myself.
I’ll admit, since most games are playable on the ps4 instead, currently it does make some sense to skip ps5.
The only ones I can think of that I wouldn’t have missed are Returnal and Spiderman 2, but returnal is pretty difficult and not for everyone. I wouldn’t have missed Spider-man 2, but I loved the first one. It’s pretty short but amazing.
That being said, I love the speed and graphics of the PS5. Worth it to me for that.
I got one of those, and it was like a black hole for my shit. Every time I needed something, I had to empty the entire bag. I sold it after like a couple weeks of use.
Based on OPs description, I think the black hole vibe is what they were going for. It filled a particular niche for me too, since it’s such a simple waterproof design and a blank slate to use my own organization and mix of other bags or pouches.
Most of the backpacks I think of all have a laptop compartment. The only two that come to mind that don’t are Jansport and Fjallraven. I don’t have any experience with either but I know they’ve been around for years(decades).
I've had a canvas Jansport for almost 30 years, I carried it for 3 years in middle school and it's been a hiking backpack since. If they're still made the same and you get a cloth one instead of those plastic character backpacks then it should last forever.
I recently got a Jansport after years of kind of forgetting about them, having used them for decades at school. Still great quality, exactly what I needed. So glad with the purchase. Best purchase I’ve made for my work in a long time.
