Let's just go back to the 80's where everything released on everything and you played on your device of choice. Probably impossible now but a good time used to be had by all.
@EfYI sorry, been at sea. I shall have to look but the processor is a ryzen 7 7800 x3d, gpu is a 12g rtx 4070, the ram is 6000mhz 32g ddr5 and there's a 2tb m.2 and a 120gb ssd for Windows. I can get the rest if you need it with make but I'd have to go in loft for boxes.
@Wizardweb there is no word processor on mine. 😂 But I see your point, and used it. Just like the golf one that spoilt a good walk, and here I am with an 18 handicap.🥲
@EfYI that's interesting. I spent £1500 on a pc, took 6 hours to get to windows boot and I've never done it before. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience too. Depends on skill level I suppose and I have a 35 year background of engineering.
This gen of consoles hasn't really delivered for me. And that's going to be a different statement for everyone. I wanted VR, we got it but not the best selection. GT7 won't allow the gimble effect to switch off, if it does I've missed it, and no driving games are really cutting it. So I moved to PC. I don't want live service, I don't care for online, and I've found a library of games that my pc can play with ease. I don't know how to overclock or any shizzle like that but it's also letting me plug in whatever controller I like and set it how I want. Oh and PSVR2 finally has a proper racing game to throw at my eyes. But this is my preference, you guys use yours and I shall be happy knowing we play games our way. 😁
I love playstation always have. Had one since uk launch. However I had to move to the dark build your own pc side as it is generally cheaper games and my new portable steam deck is just amazing, With or without WiFi. I remember when the furore of ps3 price was the latest rage but there I was buying one day 1. Ps4 day one, pro a bit late ps5 day 1. No more now. Psvr2 is on pc so I'm sorted.
I'm so many years behind. I'm also now a steam convert and wait for sales. I will play Starfield eventually, I bought last years F1, I don't enjoy this mega budget as the games are all gimmick and no soul. Bigger is rarely better. Not bad seeing as I got my PS5 in the times others got breeze blocks...
Ouch. That's a let down. Years in development that has arrives half cooked. And a minimum £70 demanded. Wonder if ubisoft will keep working on improvement like CD Project Red did...
It's simple. I would play a Dino Crisis. I can't stand the monster hunter series. Anything that's online for me is a straight no unless.my brothers want play it teamed up.
@Vault_Mcfly yes mate, I have a nice system that says 100% on pc checker. Made only possible by a surprise.work bonus and the wife told me to spoil myself. It was nearly a new set of Ping clubs before I realised that psvr2 was coming to pc and mine was over a decade old gtx 1060. I paid 1500 quid which is far too much but the results are just what I'd hoped for and more. It's ridiculous but will last the ps5, pro and 6 most likely.
Golf, as in real golf. And a fair bit of Farming sim on the deck. Oh and f1 23 on my pc via psvr2 to actually have a vr racing experience. The Gt7 gimble, that I can't find the off switch for, really annoys me.
Barely got a single ps5 only game and here we are with grave concerns. The gen has pushed me to pc. As my concerns with anything console are being met.
Adapter with courier. Quite excited for an old chap. 😁
Edit: Took around 5 mins plugging in and 5 mins setup. Honestly it's a doddle but then I have latest onboard bluetooth I as I just built this pc, no issues with controllers. Why ACC isn't VR on ps5 is a mystery, but it's brilliant. Have a standard DV cable so need a 1.4 but plays okay on lower settings at mo. New cable is ordered. Thank you Sony, for doing this, was never buying a PC headset.

Bugger, but a little work bonus bought mine. My PC is quietly waiting for F1 23, ACC, Elite Dangerous, Fallout 4, and many others to go VR. Exciting times for Sony expansion, might actually save the device and give PlayStation some extra kudos in the process.
@Yousef- steam deck user. But I've faffed a bit, not widows but heroic and emudeck. Mostly steam. The reason I built a pc too, that and Elite Dangerous after they nerfed the console.version.
@Yousef- one I've left. I know it's great and it can go on my new PC, in a sale, as I've gone and turned to the dark side now. Still have robocop and jedi whatever the new one is as new games on ps5.
@Yousef- My PS Knowledge is disappearing as I don't play much now, new games can look amazing but don't give the feeling they did 30-40 years ago. I'm scared I've grown up...
Shooters shmooters. Don't play em, don't like em. Far Cry, Cyberpunk, Robocop and the like do it for me as there is a means to an end. Looters, microtransactions and the like are banned for my kids, and I join the ban.

Re: Sony Boss Says 'PCs Are Difficult to Set Up', Firm Will Focus on PS5
@Wizardweb I had my corner with ps5 and previous, so a pc doesn't move me away. I don't know what all that meant btw 😂.

Thought I saw motorstorm in that list. 🤤 shame.
Re: Prospective PS5 Pro Buyers Cause Surge in Disc Drive Sales
Glad I've moved to pc now. Ps5 is there but less and less used. A PS5 and then a pro would be the cost of a decent rig.
Re: Star Wars Outlaws, XDefiant Disappointments Pour Pain on Ubisoft's Share Prices
It was either Far Cry 5 or RDR2 that I last bought on release, both great, both finished games on release as I recall.
Zero trust in any day 1 release and any Ubisoft game goes half price very quickly, already 33% off all versions on CDKEYS for steam version.

Re: PS5 Fans Who Paid $110 for Star Wars Outlaws Early Access Asked to Restart Saves
It's a shame. Last game I bought was...... Enslaved on steam. For my deck... Not ever buying full price again.

Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Still Planned to Release in 2024, State of Play Coming in September
@Jrs1 yup 51, had enough of a lot of rubbish released now. I stick with Elite Dangerous, racing games and older adventures.
Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Still Planned to Release in 2024, State of Play Coming in September
PS5 has pushed me to PC. Never thought I'd say that. It's not even been turned on in weeks, since psvr2 adapter arrived.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 543
Golf, as in real golf. And a fair bit of Farming sim on the deck. Oh and f1 23 on my pc via psvr2 to actually have a vr racing experience. The Gt7 gimble, that I can't find the off switch for, really annoys me.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Concord?
I don't play online, unless with MY brothers. And then it's F1 or Elite Dangerous, maybe ACC. FPS and me just don't get on unless single player.

Re: Poll: Is the Astro Bot PS5 Controller the Best DualSense Yet?
I just have the one that arrived day 1. It is, after all, a controller. Apart from the Yorkshire Tea one, I'd have that.
Re: PSVR2 Sales Explode After Sony's Deep Price Cut, Up More than 2000%
Quite a negative bunch today. Its the best way to play GT7, and very soon all other racing games on my PC too. It's bonkersly good.
