    No PS5 here. I grew up with a PS1, PS2 and PS3. Still have my 60gb PS3 which can play PS1 and PS2 discs without issues today. Skipped out on the PS4 and went strictly PC gaming back in 2013. Reason why? I don't wanna pay for online gaming which the PS4 and PS5 makes you do. Not to mention games like HZD, God of War, Spider-man are on PC with more exclusives coming, I'm not missing out. All the Xbox games since the XB1 have been on PC day 1. I am not crying myself to sleep because I can't play God of War Ragnarok day 1 when I already have a bunch of great games to play on PC. If it comes later cool, if not cool. Also my PC in the living room is set up as a console hooked up to my LG CX. Press the controller button on and it fires up straight into Steam Big Picture mode from boot and it never sees the Windows desktop environment.

    I was wowed by the PS5 the first few months, then kinda left it on the shelf for the last year after the initial impression because I prefer playing on PC. Lately though with the PC hardware market I'm considering fully transition to PS5 and stop upgrading my PC. I will miss the controller customization and modding but other features on PS5 like the dual sense can make up for it.

With on console you can lay in your bed and play the game and with a pc you need a desk chair etc. Only thing what i enjoyed having pc is multi task and my performance aswell. After having 1,5 year pc and now having a console best thing what i could do and i enjoy my games much more than on a pc.

    Im a pc gamer, and I was open to buying a ps5 for the opportunity to go back and play the backlog of ps4 exclusives, as well as new exclusives, of course. But because so many of the games I wanted to play were released on pc, I find very little reason to buy one now. By the end of the console generation, I'm probably gonna have like 8 games total.

    I got my hands on a PS5 back in August of 2022 thanks to an Amazon (US) lottery. Since then, I have barely used my Series X. I enjoy both consoles greatly, but the PS5 feels more decidedly "Next Gen" to me -- the Dual Sense alone is a huge boon. I'm sure that things will switch a bit as Gamepass Day 1 stuff drops, but man do I enjoy that PS5 -- Ragnarok alone was worth the purchase.

    Having a PS4 is definitely a reason as to why I have not yet gotten a PS5, Basically like what you said having decent graphics and still getting the story and enjoying the game for just what it is, is enough. I have been saving for a PS5 for quite a while now. I was ready to put down the money as well however, as the rumor of another PS5 variant it makes me want to wait more just to see what the new variant will bring external and internal, at the same time though, if the original PS5 was hard to get (still is), then I assume the new variant will also be difficult to get my hands on. I am split 50/50 on whether to wait until April for (dead island 2) or the announcement/release of a new variant of the PS5 if there is one.

Yes it would have been fine. Do I want a great gaming experience yes so I got it. Upgraded my TV in 2020 in preparation for getting a PS5 so it all worked out for me. Waited a bit longer to get the console but im okay with that.
    Best game for me on PS5 so far is Returnal did went into it blind not knowing much about the game and it surprised me. Still to play Ragnarok and forbidden west. I will wait for Ragnarok to go on sale and still to redeem Forbidden west from the bundle I bought but after playing Ghost of Tsushima and now getting back into Elden Ring, im going to be taped out on open world stuff.

    Definitely Horizon Forbidden West and Rachel & Clank Rift Apart are 2 of my top games on the PS5 right now, both are must play. Also, when I 1st got my PS5 I would toddle playing between both the PS4 Pro and PS5. As soon as I bought a 1 TB SSD (should be one of the 1st accessories you buy for PS5 btw!) I uploaded games like Jedi: Fallen Order, Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man & RDR 2 among others. That is when I noticed the difference in much smoother gameplay running such games at locked 60FPS. I suddenly felt I went from apprentice to Master in my Jedi skills as my gameplay was more fluid and I really tore thru my second play through of Fallen Order on my PS5. 50 hit combos on Spider-Man are buttery smooth to execute and the motion Blur I would see from time to time on RDR 2 on my PS4 Pro was now gone on the PS5. Then there was Ghost of Tsushima Directors Cut on PS5! This is how you are suppose to play Ghost of Tsushima! Plays, looks and sounds amazing (just need some kind of upgraded sound system like at least a 3.1 or a great set of headphones.) So as good as the new shiny PS5 games are don't neglect a 2nd play through of some amazing PS4 titles and see how much better they and you play!!!!

    I think I just got lucky, happen to pop into my local game and it was one the few occasions they had both 1 physical and 1 digital in stock, got the disc version, they just had stock tricking in every so often. I completely skipped the PS4/Xbox One generation of consoles.
    RE Physical Discs, not just second market, I've seen some amazing prices on occasions. Managed to Purchase Rachet & Clank Rift Apart for £15 at Asda when its still going for near full price in Game today. I think it does open up more choices for purchases.
    The highest tier of PS Plus does seem to get the short straw these days.

    I've had mine since Jan 2021 and have been impressed with its exclusives such as Ratchet & Clank and Returnal, especially the latter use of the Dual Sense controller. Also a bit disappointed but not surprised in some ways as many games are still cross-gen titles; although as you said having the SSD finally in a games console is excellent.
    Even though more fiddly in comparison to the Series X to expand; Sony allowing off-the-shelf (providing it meets spec requirements) versions of expandable storage has been great for the consumer; as their price has dropped once Sony enabled the slot.
    The huge fan has been another blessing, as I recall playing The Last of Us 2 and Spider-Man on my PS4; it was sooo loud and I had cleaned it out.
    I'd say Returnal is its best game, as it is not a sequel to anything and is at time of writing a PS5 exclusive. It is good but tough

    It's a great console with undoubtedly the better exclusives right now, no doubt, but the ecosystem is so crazy expensive now. The games, extra controllers, are just so pricey. I would love to play God of War: Ragnarok but it's hard to justify having it in addition to my XBOX/GamePass just for a few games. Hopefully it comes to PC like the first one did, otherwise I might spring for a pre-owned PS4 at some point.

      Graphics is nothing without a good Model,
      Making the game assets itself is one of the hardest and most time consuming part.
      what people didn't know is that, the character and monster in the game is modelled and sculpted manually by hand, every hair, pore, muscle, vein, is sculpted one by one by hand
      even modeling and sculpting a somewhat realistic human models take time, and not every 3d artists have the skills required do that.

      from modeling, sculpting, texturing, rigging, adding facial expression. not to mention animating it
      not to mention in most games there are ton of high complexity model like dragon, zombie, mythical creatures, that took forever to finish
      creating a good model is hard regardless of AAA game or not.
      while nintendo game on the other hand took a different approach, they use a stylistic character, somewhat more cartoony, it's significantly easier to create

    I'm holding off on buying a PS5 only because great games still come to the PS4. Plus the PS4 is still a great console with games i need to catch up on to play. So for me there's no need to spend that much money for a new console when i have tons of games i still want to play. Even when online gets turned off, I'll still be playing the games that require you to not be online. And there's a lot of great games that require you to not be online. The only reason I will be getting a PS5 is if there's a game that comes out that is PS5 exclusive that I just got to have.
