The PS5 is making me hate PC Gaming (techradar article)

I just got done with another PS5 session. I am having a blast with Miles Morales (have always loved Insomniac and still had the muscle memory) and astrobot is super fun. But PS5 will always be a novelty thing for me. I will play 6-10 games on it that are really good for me but it will never be my workhorse. If I had to pick between a PS5 and a PC (for strictly gaming), PC wins 10 out of 10 times. Gosh this article was stupid.

If you own a PC 3-5x more expensive whats your point?

lol what? All you have to do is google ps+ plus price to prove my post right. And are you gonna be one of these cunt losers who wants to pretend cause you don't like the games ps+ has offered that means getting something like Control with it is shit?
It's real simple, genius.

If you are paying for something, it isn't free.

You're an idiot. You've been embarrassing yourself throughout this entire thread, and your posts are utterly fucking pathetic. 'Cunt losers'? Go defend your plastic toy somewhere else, you sad, sad, sad little bitch.

Your point was that the COST of PS Plus is never discussed when comparing the COST of a PC to consoles.

Its real simple, genius. As I said, 5 years of PS+ is $150, which is A LOT less than PC cost to run games comparable to how next gen consoles do.

lmfaoooo @ how mad you are. Jesus. Get a therapist friend

Who's mad? You're calling people 'cunt losers' because they're mocking your children's toy. Meanwhile, you're brain damaged enough to have convinced yourself that paying for something means that it is free, as long as you like the company who is asking you to pay.

What is clear from your posts is that you're a console warrior with absolutely no idea about PC gaming - you're making patently ridiculous claims, and you're an embarrassing manchild clinging desperately to a consumer product marketed at 10 year olds. You're an embarrassment.

What's wrong, kid? Gonna start crying now?

No, i'm pointing out how people like yourself who just wanna argue are cunt losers. You happen to be one who also needs a therapist with how emotional and mad you're getting.

And using verbiage to make an argument is something cunt losers do. "Free" as in it comes with the subscription, but you knew thats what I meant, you just wanna argue and be a loser.

I own a laptop for gaming.

But your bipolar rage arguments aside now, my point stands. $150 for 5 years of PS plus is A LOT less than a PC capable of running games on PS5's level. So your original point of it "never being discussed" is silly. If you wanna try to counter that, please go for it. If you just wanna melt down some more, try to have some self control and seek a therapist.

No, you're claiming that you receive 'free games' as a part of your PS+ subscription.

I am pointing out that if you pay for it, it isn't free.

'"Free" as in it comes with the subscription, but you knew thats what I meant, you just wanna argue and be a loser.'

Actually, I think that not understanding what the word 'free' means makes you the loser here, buddy. Go on, rage harder and call me a 'cunt loser' for pointing that out. Watching you melt down over a children's toy marketed at the Fortnite market is really fucking funny.

Tell me again how when you pay Sony for something, it's free. I love it.

Lmfaooooo @ continuing this verbiage argument. I just clarified in the post you quoted thats all you're doing, and that those games come with the subscription. Yet you're still trying to harp on that? Cmon, only cunt losers try to use misspoken verbiage to argue, ESPECIALLY after i've fixed and clarified when you decided to go that route.

But alas, when we look past your bipolar teenage meltdown that has you grasping at argumentative straws, we see no counter point to my original response of how silly you are for saying "no one talks about PS plus price when talking cost of console vs PC". Thus I take it you concede, as you should. Good job.

Still going, hey?

You can spin it as hard as you like, and call strangers on the internet all the names you like - it won't change the fact that your contention: paying Sony for PS+ gives you 'free' games is incorrect. They're not free.

You didn't 'misspeak'. You claimed something that wasn't true. Watching you spaz out over it is really cringy and embarrassing.

There is no contention. Two posts ago now I clarified its misspoken verbiage. Its getting kind of sad you don't seem to understand that and still are trying to argue this, now to the extent you won't even let me own my mistake in choice of words and are saying "You didn't misspeak". Cmon bro lol please don't be older than 14 or this is very, very sad. You've completely gone off track from your original point to do nothing but try to argue with me on the internet lmfaooo

This is literal gibberish. Just apologise for claiming something stupid and move on. The endless 14 year old girl 'lmfaooooooo's are just said.

If you're actually trying to apologise to me - then, fine. I accept your apology. Next time, don't make stupid, embarrassing claims. You'll be fine, I believe in you.

You're right I owe you an apology. It was wrong of me as someone whos not a bipolar teenager to continue to engage in your attempts to have a meaningless argument when it was clear thats all you wanted after being proven wrong about PS Plus pricing. I apologize for that, I should have DMd you the number of a good therapist in your area instead. I will do better, have fun at school tomorrow.

I've owned both a PS4 and a gaming PC for many years now, but my computers have always won the title of being my favorite gaming hardware, often leaving my PS4 gathering dust for months on end. Knowing I could only afford one, I had a decision to make: do I buy a PS5 now, or save up for a shiny GeForce RTX 3090 and CPU upgrade?

It seemed like an obvious choice at the time. I'm now kicking myself.

Since these GPUs have hit the market we've seen games such as Cyberpunk 2077, Watchdogs: Legion, and The Medium released, giving us the opportunity to test this groundbreaking computing hardware for ourselves. And each time, be it down to overly demanding software or lack of optimization for PC, I'm left disappointed.

Before the games were even released, we were seeing some fairly alarming system requirements to play the latest AAA titles. It was reported this week by DSOG that the Medium couldn't run at a consistent 60fps on a PC equipped with an Intel i9-9900K and an RTX 3080, even on standard 1080p quality and ray tracing switched off. And the optimization issues faced by The Medium are hardly unique.

PC gaming feels like a constant uphill battle to evolve and accommodate the very latest in computing technology, combining a love for tech tinkering with a gaming hobby for many. You need to put consistent effort, money, or both into being a PC gamer because a large reason people might choose a computer over a console is the ability to experience games in the highest achievable quality.

And yet, PS5 owners can now experience 4K quality, better game optimization (in some titles), and haptic feedback in the DualSense controller for significantly less than a comparable gaming computer would cost to buy or build. One of the biggest reasons I (and many others) will also be buying a PS5 is because of the Sony Exclusive titles.

When the PS5 showcase announced Horizon: Forbidden West, Demon's Souls and God of War: Ragnorak, I excitedly noted them as titles to look forward to playing when I could eventually buy the console myself. Now that the first few months of the Nvidia Ampere and AMD 'Big Navi' hardware have passed, I'm left feeling disappointed and envious of my console playing peers.

This is in no way saying that I'll be switching out my gaming PC in favor of a PS5, but I'm firmly stepping down from my high horse for the time being. Until games are better optimized for PC or developers manage their hardware expectations, every game I'm looking forward to in 2021 is currently a PS5-exclusive.
Also PC parts prices has skyrocketed. If you can get a PS5 for $500 there is no point of spending anymore on a $1500 GF3080 that is without PC parts.

I think that it's a CD project problem

I envy you guys who live in the USA. You guys can build any gaming pc. In my country i have to order all the parts because the shops here sell old parts and expensive. When i order a hardware if it cost $200 or more it pay taxes around 28 to 38% of the price. Sure there are workaround about this. Beside that i have to wait for the part get to Miami and there is an additional 2 or 3 days more to get here.

So were i live PC Gaming is much more expensive than console. No matter how much i want gaming pc, my pocket won't allow it. My last gaming pc was around 2010 more or less. Back then we didn't have to worry about taxes only waiting for the hardware to get here.

You know what i've said. You read the posts. But when you get the "counterpoints" you talked about the other person not having, you just ignore it and look for someone easier to bash.

Wow PCs cost more but perform better?! You are enlightening the thread with this information.

Why would I tell you why you should get a PS5? If you have determined its not worth it for you, than don't. Some people just want to game and are ok with paying 4x less for a next gen console, especially if they are into the Sony exclusives.

Stop trying to shit on people for not sharing your "next gen is garbage PC so good" opinion. You've done nothing but come off like a loser.
He is not the only one writing walls of text. In fact I just read the equivalent of a fucking chapter of a Tolkien book about how Sony exclusives are the best.
Bla bla bla. Both stay.

Is that a digital edition? Looks smaller. I would put right there if i had one to be honest, no point in hiding that thing on cabinet because it stands out more.

after reading this article i am going to sell my 3070 PC and get a ps5 so i can play games on 4k30fps. On top of that i will pay online MP fee plus $60 digital titles. My life will be fucking awesome that i will die simply having a ps5 in my hall. /s

Only you guys who live in the USA can build whatever PC you want. PC master race yeah sure in the USA it's. Don't get me wrong my heart always will be a PC gamer. Honestly this is stupid. Yeah sure a PS5 would pay taxes too but it's only one item. Imagine paying taxes for each $200+ hardware you buy plus waiting 2 weeks to get your hardware.

It's the Disc version.

Posts like this are so weird. New games on PC cost $60 too. Its $150 for 5 years of PS Plus. Simple math here. $400 + $150 = $550 which is nowhere near the 1.5k - 2k to get a PC that can run games at the PS5's equivalence or greater

The article is stupid.

However there are a lot of good things about the new consoles, and the current GPU situation is what caused me to buy a Series X on top of my PS5.

I’ve played games on PC on and off since I was a little lad in the late 90s but there are aspects of PC gaming I’ve just never gave a shit about like modding and honestly I feel like on pc I spend more time staring at the FPS counter or messing with settings then I do playing the games so I generally fall back to consoles from a ease of use. I work on computers and phones for a living so I don’t really want to go home and tinker with shit.

Every platform has its benefits and I can definitely see stuff like quick resume enticing someone to switch platforms.

These articles know what they are for and are always shit because of that fact. Just enjoy games on whatever platform you like and stop caring about where others play or demeaning people because their platform is different then yours b

Having a 3070 you've already paid 10 year subscription for PS+ ;)
 
I just need to chime in one more time and say that Hades needs to come to PlayStation and Xbox. Gamers on these platforms will love this fucking game, it will sell like hotcakes. Needs to happen.

After seeing footage for the "next-gen" port of Control, I'd say you're better served with having a PS5 and a gaming PC.
 
I will love it more if I find adults to converse with instead of teenagers like yourself who force arguments after being proven wrong. Lets see how it goes.
You'll find them. Thread topic obviously has a particular subset of gamers extremely on edge. Lashing out wildly is to be expected.

Preferring a console over PC is wrong think among some circles. Specially Sony consoles - which threaten them to the core. Let them rage. You couldn't explain the behavior any other way.... no matter what they say, how they say it or how much they deny it. Stay strong.

Idk man. Paying 3x-4x more for a PC so I can put "foliage quality" on high seems worth the extra grand or two. I mean, did you see the difference in particles on the desk in the DF video?!?
Not even 2x, which has been proven over and over, but keep peddling those b.s. numbers. Never knew people can be proven wrong, and act like they won't get called out for the same bs in the same thread lol. 3060 ti.

We've been over this. You can't prove your claim. You're a teenager who continues to harp on about a graphics card that cost the same as a next gen console and then say "just get basic cpu". Time to see if there is an ignore function for you when your ignorance and PC shilling is crazy

Ironic. Only a teenager would be complaining about a PC that costs under a grand. When I was once your age, saving up a grand was easy. You have no bills, parents still pay for most things, etc. You have no reason to complain about PC, unless you are just stuck in your ways. In that case, there's plenty of growing up to do.


3060 ti paired with a cheap cpu will go a long ways.
