Its not as bad as gen 7, not by a mile

game output wise it's the worst by far. you're right about the controllers though, I really like the ps5 controller for PC games

young me never would have believed that load times would be 98% eliminated and not only would gamers not notice, but they'd actively say it's the worst gen ever

Better than ps3, ps1 era

>>714379132 (OP)
Great games
Great VR
Great graphics

not seeing it?

>>714379132 (OP)
i just recently got ps5 a month or 2 ago and it unironically has no games, i thought people were meming. i scrolled the entire ps store one day and my revised wishlist wasnt even a dozen games long.
So I just have to shill out for the disc reader and buy ps4 games on ebay or whatever? gay

what peeved me off is that ass creed black flag is locked at 30fps for no reason.
wasted 10 bucks

>>714379132 (OP)
PC Gaming won

Facts. I still haven't bought a PS5 and I might not until I find one used for $100. I thought the PS3 was a no games machine, but the 5 is making it seem kino.

>>714380726
The only games who benefit from that are AAA and you can pretty much count on your fingers how many of them are worth playing on this 5 year old gen

>>714381082
>can't afford a console unless it's $100
>moans about no games
you aint in any position to buy games mate

>>714381456
I'm just waiting for GTA 6 then my paystation will be serving its intended purpose
Occupying my time with AAA slop like Indiana Jones (kino) Stellar Blade (havent bought yet) and Forza/Gran Turismo

>>714381082
>PS3 was a no games machine
It had a pretty good library

Dualsense Edge is the best controller you can buy right now and it’s not close. The only thing it’s lacking is battery life. I just threw out a box of dozens of useless old first and third party controllers, zoomers really don’t know how good they have it.

>>714381601
Why did you buy the ps5 before gt6 was even announced if all you wanted was gta6

I have both consoles. I got the xbox first because most of my friends are on it and while it's fine, it's nothing groundbreaking. Even the UI is the same as the xbox one. It feels like an incremental upgrade rather than a generation one, but I've still put thousands of hours into the console and gamepass. I also have a PS5 which I bought because I gave my cousin my PS4. I initially bought the PS4 because of the exclusives as I play everything else on PC or xbox with friends, and the PS4 had some great exclusives especially from Japanese publishers. This gen though, the PS5 sucks I literally only have spiderman 2 on it as nothing else interests me, and I don't even own spiderman 2 I'm just game sharing it so I haven't actually ever bought a game for PS5 since owning it. Right now I just play everything on PC because the consoles are useless. Xbox only gets turned on when my friends want to play a multiplayer game that doesn't have crossplay. PS5 never gets turned on.

>>714379132 (OP)
I'm playing a bunch of 60FPS games on console. Graphics have stagnated that my aging PC is still able to play multiplayer games for free. I feel bad for you.

Still havent upgraded until they actually make some new games!

Sorry, not sorry!

>>714382000
>PS4 had some great exclusives especially from Japanese publishers
Like bloodborne and, um, and bloodborne scholar of the first sin and uhh blood borne ii the elden ring

>>714381936
mine is always connected to my PC for games that are better with a controller but yeah, it's a really good controller and I don't regret buying it

>>714381870
Never engage with no games idiots of any stripe.

>>714381870
Every single one of those is shit

True, this gen was so bad I went back to PC gaming, and it also completely sucks

>>714381983
I didn't want to worry about the premium tier being sold out near GTA 6 launch, this was before the game delay was announced by the way
+ i wanted to get used to playing on a console since this is my first one since the Wii
+ like i said i like my filler games

I'm preordering GTA 6 and taking the launch week off work, I'm one of those kinds of normalfags

>>714382154
Back when I bought my PS4 franchises like Yakuza, Kingdom Hearts, Judgment etc weren't multiplatform yet. PS4 was the only way to play them, alongside the first party exclusives like Spiderman, TLOU, GoW etc. So I got good value out of owning the console which I bought for cheap on the used market. My PS5 is also used, but I feel like I haven't got any value out of it. It cost me 3x more than my PS4 did but I've used it 100x less.

>>714379132 (OP)
No they aren't. We are currently in a spot where a entry level GPU costs as much as a console.

>>714382590
Did you spend 500 dollars on an 8GB VRAM graphics card little PC gaming bro?

>>714382638
Also for added context I have a "gaming laptop" but it's incapable of running most games over 60GB, i didnt want to deal with building a new pc again.
So even though paystation has shit for exclusives I'm getting more out of it than someone with a decent PC would. If I had a decent PC then yes I'd have literally no reason that I can think of to buy a ps5 other than trying to Day 1 gta 6

>>714382587
what has come out on PC in the last 5 years?

>>714383710
Every Playstation and Xbox release

>>714383710
Schedule 1

>>714383768
>console has no games in last 5 years
>I'm playing all the console games which released in the last 5 years
please make your mind up

>>714383710
Like every good indie game is PC only

>>714384002
there are no good indie games.

>>714381936
>Dualsense Edge is the best controller
It's the worst controller Sony has ever made and Sony in all their corporate greed forces you to use it for PS5 games instead of making the much better DS4 backwards compatible.
>shit battery, goes to critical in just a few hours
>stick drift
>shit ergonomics because it's so full of unnecessary fancy shit like haptic feedback that make its grip so fucking huge
>arrogant enough to make a $200 Edge version
It's form-over-function Apple crap, the controller equivalent of graphics-over-gameplay, and only people living in the walled garden could be conditioned to believe it's the best ever.
>>714381870
So many multiplats and the PS3 was one of the most expensive launches ever at $700, more than twice the PS2 at launch, which nerfed its own sales for years and it wasn't until late gen when prices dropped that the PS3 became accessible for many; this is literally where Sony started to go wrong and fuck the industry up.

>>714383710
5 years? PC hasn't had a game in much longer than that

>best Star Ocean
>best Tales (only good tales game honestly)
>best shooters
>best crawlers (Galleria, Disgaea 7)

Yeah too bad there isn’t more bing bang wahoo faggot nigger games

>>714382705
Buy a steam deck for a few hundred now, hook it up to a monitor and pad or kbm, and keep playing games on it well into the ps6 years before needing to upgrade because graphics have plateu'd and nothing new is coming out

Do people actually want to play ddogma2, kcd2, cyberpunk 77, ff16, tekken 8, and mhw this badly? None of these games are very appealing to me at least i cant think of anything new pushing hardware that i want

>>714384198
>So many multiplats
When the slim came out the price lowered to 300 to 350, and the 360 had fewer and less appealing exclusives. What exclusives should i have chosen the 360 over the ps3 for?

>>714384713
>Do people actually want to play ddogma2, kcd2, cyberpunk 77, ff16, tekken 8, and mhw this badly?
yes

>>714384713
all of these games work on decade old hardware just fine. im pretty sure the only ones that just dont work at all are alan wake 2, indiana jones circle and doom dark ages

>>714385145
Really?? Those games seem kinda boring to me

>>714384983
HALO AND FORZA FTW!! ALL YOU HAVE IS TALEDEGA NIGHTS LOL

My PC is 9 years old. Upgrading the GPU wouldn't be enough to play something like Monster Hunter Wilds at 1080p60FPS, I'll just play it on the PS5 and save my money from expensive PC parts until my PC actually dies. By the way the current reviews for MH Wilds on Steam is Overwhelmingly Negative because the PC port is poorly optimized even with 800 dollars GPUs and 2000 dollar GPUs https://store.steampowered.com/app/2246340/Monster_Hunter_Wilds/

>>714379132 (OP)
Baseline modern standards and merely existing put it above the first 2, like your average 2020s throwaway game is still better than most of what a fucking Magnavox Odyssey or Colecovision offered. But as far as routinely acknowledged gens go, sure. This one is the least memorable and impactful gen in decades.

>>714380267
>best controllers ever
I can buy the controllers and play them on a good platform. That's still a L for the console generation

Consoles are better than they've ever been from a hardware point right now. Basically every game is performant and high resolution. While PC is fucked with hyper inflated component pricing and shader stutter even on the highest end system.

>>714386101
>Consoles are better than they've ever been from a hardware point right now
Cool, cool... what are you playing on ps5/xsex?

PC are better for the selection of games but having to wait a year or two for new games like GTA VI will always prevent it from being talked about on the same level as consoles

>>714384336
Disgaea games aren't crawlers, you moron, and Disgaea 7 is the second worst game in the series.

>>714384983
The point is multiplats aren't a selling point for the PS3 when I can play that same game on XBox360 and the PS3 was an expensive blu-ray machine too inaccessible for many at launch anyway.
>What exclusives should i have chosen the 360 over the ps3 for?
Gears of War was huge back then, Halo, the best version of Bayonetta was on the XBox360 because the PS3 version was shit at launch and the 360 did better for awhile simply by being cheaper.

PC gaming is synonymous now with 8GB VRAM 400 dollar cards and 800 dollar 16GB GPUs and shader compilation stutter with NVIDIA drivers bugging out. A PS5 and Switch 2 cost 450 dollars.

>>714386351
>PC are better for the selection of games but having to wait a year or two for new games like GTA VI will always prevent it from being talked about on the same level as consoles
Zoomers arent buying ps5 or xsex theyre on on pc and nintendo

>Zoomers arent buying ps5 or xsex theyre on on pc and nintendo
The PC fanboy echochamber brain.

>>714386335
The same games releasing and selling on PC but usually a year earlier and without shader compilation stutter. Enjoy the Death Stranding sloppy seconds after it's all been spoiled.

>Zoomers arent buying ps5 or xsex theyre on on pc and nintendo
Okay. GTA6 isn't on PC. GTA6's trailer has roughly 400 million combined views. Half Life isn't the tour de force you think it is, with Half Life VR as popular as Steam Machines and Steam Decks. That is to say, to the mass public, no one cares.

/r/PCMR fanboyism.

>Zoomers arent buying ps5 or xsex theyre on on pc and nintendo
>they're on PC
ah the circlejerk side effect from /r/PCMR and /v steam/ echochamber. When's GTA6 coming out on the clearly most popular platform, PC gaming as noted by notable Steam diehard fanboys?

>>714386760
If you can "d-doesnt count" at mobile cant pc do that to console? Especially considering the revenue gap between console and pc is way smaller than the gap between mobile and console

>>714386760
that 5% extra is from consolefags paying to use their own internet monthly

>>714386938
>GTA6 isn't on PC
Why do people say this? It will be released on PC 100%

>>714386938

Cockstar has gone full retard.

Zoomers are all in on PC gaming with these banging prices. BTW I'm from /r/PCMR

If PS3, 4 and Vita's library was substituted for modern PlayStation and no other platform/company could use the time warp then only PlayStation would have games.

>>714388164
Its all the same face scan open world sloppa, im just surprised anyone gives a shit

ps5 is fun for 60 fps ps4 games thats about it

>if, and, and, and--
Lots of qualifiers needed in order to be able to say that shit bro.

>>714386101
This is just not true.

>>714379132 (OP)
The only gen that's arguably worse would be the Atari 5200's generation.

>>714387187
It will be at least a year for PC just like last time.
The gap is mostly for double dippers and also to minimize bad press of GTA online hacking at launch.

>>714386760
But I thought zoomers didn't know how to use a PC?

>>714379132 (OP)
Gen 10 will be even worse if it actually comes out 2026-2027
Literally EVERYTHING will be crossgen for even longer than this gen was with PS4/XONE

>>714388519
It's pretty true for most platforms though, just none more than PS. It's like they just bite into any FUD directed at them hook, line, and sinker.
For example that pic was from a Gematsu from somewhere between 2016 to 2019 at the latest. Despite PS4 saving Sony from bankruptcy almost single-headedly we where told this stuff was
"one and done", Japanese games were "dead" and Sony needed a hero shooter arena sloppa on PC ASAP of they didn't want to go bust. Of course they eventually did this and we all know exactly how that turned out, don't we anon?

Perhaps the current state gaming is best summed up by legendry anime director, Hayao Miyazaki. "I fear the world's end is near, humans have lost confidence."

>>714387967
How much labor is that price for you in terms of time? How many weeks do you have to work to pay for it?

>>714386938
22% of consoles share between xbox, ps and nintento VS 19% of pc gaming...
and you think pc is the cuck in this scenario?

>>714390869
They probably can't, they buy a Nintendo for vidya and just use their smartphone or ipad as their "PC"

>>714391965
>the price of GPUs are so expensive that the only people who can afford them must be working for the company
lol poors

I switched to pc

>>714388354
is anyone forcing you to buy it? are they taking games you like away from you?

That wasn't the gestalt of my post at all. Reading comprehension fail

>>714399230
what is your point? that you require a job to buy one?

not really, I deliberately skipped PS4 and now I'm having a blast

>>714379132 (OP)
Nintendo and Valve are saving this generation. It's only complete shit when you're exclusively on Xbox or PlayStation since they release nothing and just port everything to each other's consoles, Switch, and PC anyways.

>>714402216
>Valve
?

>>714402781
Yes, Steam Deck, baby
