@REALAIS I have no issues with my PC. I just turn it on and play. When there's an update, you don't even need to do it, but it's simple if you do wanna update. Just click download, then click install. That's the same on consoles tho. And for graphics settings, there's presets and auto. When you first open the game, it compiles shaders automatically. And then it also chooses the correct graphics settings for your system, so you don't have to change settings, unless you want to. The game compiles shaders once after an update. Nvidia app also has a simple 1 click optimisation button. So if you open the app. You'll find a list of your game and if you click on optimise, it will choose the best settings for the game. I think there's also an optimise all games button.
And if you don't need to change any settings, you can just turn it on and play. Steam has big picture mode, where you can control the steam menu with your controller, like on consoles. So you can get a console feel on PC too.
A lot of things on pc these days are just plug and play. And drivers are no longer needed. As long as the hardware is compatible. Everytime a new hardware is plugged in, the pc installs it automatically. So you shouldn't be scratching your head trying to figure out how to make it work. It might have happened on ancient computers, but not on modern computers.
Tho I'm speaking from a windows 11 user. Idk how it works on linux and other operating system.
"But with PC? Switch on new game. Oh, I need drivers? Okay. Oh, I need to Compile Shaders? Ok. Oh, I need to find right graphics settings for each game because performance is not universal thing. There are some caveats with PC too, it is not just sunshine."
What you said here is all wrong and I don't know where you got that information from.
@REALAIS yeah. But you don't have subscription fees on pc. Some people have a PC already right now that can outperform the PS5. And if their motherboard and CPU is already really good, they would just need to buy a graphics card to upgrade in a few years or by the time ps6 is out. So it would cost them an extra 700 to 900£ for a midrange GPU, more for higher end. And their old card would still be worth a lot and could sell it to get their money back. So if it cost them 900, they could sell for 700 or 600. So it would be like paying 200-300 for a new card and they could split the cost even with 0 interest monthly payments.
PS5 is around £470 now? Add 10 years of ps plus, how much is that? If essential is £60 a year, that's 600 in 10 years, making total £1070.
But if they wait another 5 years, PC going to leave consoles far more behind. That's if new hardware is made every year. Maybe even Huawei will join the GPU market and outperform the PS5.
@Oram77 if people say it's the worst generation, it's individual opinion. It usually means they had better enjoyment out of previous generations. If it doesn't relate to you, then ignore it. They might say it's the worst, but they'll keep playing on new hardware.
I hate that you can't make a fan made bag using popular brand names and sell it. I don't see it as trademark infringement. I see it as fan made and it's advertising the brand. If it was a company doing it, then yeah that shouldn't be allowed. But an individual person selling on eBay seems a bit too far to be sueing them.
I guess that means I have to wait even longer to wait for a sale after release. Coz I weren't planning on buying it day one. Maybe a year after release.
If we get crossbuy on pc and ps5, that would be cool. And if that means using ps store on pc, then I'll get that. I would have gotten it anyway if it ever came to pc platforms because it would have trophies. But if it has crossbuy, that's a bigger bonus. I have a PS5 that I don't use because I play on PC mostly. So with crossbuy and maybe cross save, I could switch between platforms.
I'm conflicted. RGG were my favourite studio. But now I don't know if I should keep supporting them or boycott them. Guess I'll just avoid buying yakuza 3 and wait for project century.
Don't think they've made any good games. What games have they made, just New World? I know they've published Throne and Liberty and Lost Ark. But none were good. Well I thought Throne and Liberty was ok, but lost interest. It wasn't that good.
If they aren't stopping support for mobile, they shouldn't stop support for the PS4. Because I'm pretty sure PS4 is more powerful than mobile. So should make it work still.
@ButWhy yeah I would want gacha to go away. But this is for mobile. This is what mobile games are like. I don't play mobile games, so I can't say anything, they can do whatever they want on mobile. As long as It doesn't interfere with the console games they are working on, I'm not bothered.
@MARl0 But the backlash is for this game being on mobile. They can politely ask for a game on console that they want without hating on this game for it being mobile only. They are clearly not the target audience. This is a mobile only game, so let them do what they want with it.
This looks cool. I'll probably just look at gameplay clips online to see how it is, as I'm not really into fighting games. But I do like the avatar series a lot.
I missed intermission coz it didn't release on PS4. And I ain't buying the game twice. I ended up getting rid of the game. I'm currently playing rebirth on PC.
I think I buy games once a year or so. But I bought I think around 4 games this year. Actually 1 game is a few years old. But launch games this year were monster hunter wilds, final fantasy 7 rebirth pc and expedition 33. I think last year I bought 1 or 2 launch games. I can't remember now.
I don't know if they seem the same, as I haven't played any sony games recently. Last was ghost of Tsushima. Not sure what that would seem similar to. Anyway, not really a fan of sony games. They don't make games I like anymore.

So to me, having a PC works out better.
