Comment on PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off

There is no reason to get a PS5. There are hardly any exclusives worth playing. The games it does have are either on Xbox, which is generally cheaper to invest in, (especially if it’s on gamepass) with the series s. Most games are locked at 30 fps anyway. And now you HAVE to see ads?

Just get a PC or if you really want to stay with consoles, the series s or x on sale are the only options that make some bit of sense. But still, a PC is worth saving for.

A PC is something different and not really comparable to a console if all you’re interested in is a hassle-free, straightforward gaming experience. Economies of scale make it so that a PS5 is just plain better than any PC you could cook up for that price.

Plus, exclusives are a factor for console choice, sure, but I’d argue that the performance boost relative to PS4 models is worth the price. I can only speak for myself, obviously, but I’ve been really happy with my PS4 for these last four years.

  Same, still playing my ps4, probably won’t buy a ps5 though. I’ll just wait for ps6 or whatever to happen. As of now ps4 plays elden ring and bloodborne(two of my favorite games) so I’m content with it.

    Emulation of Bloodborne on PC seems to be moving forward. Pretty cool

The only redeeming thing about the PS5 is the support for standard NVME SSDs. But at that point, just get a PC.

There are hardly any exclusives ~~worth playing. ~~

Even if there were, that’s all the more reason not to buy it. Exclusive anything is anti-consumer bullshit that should be illegal.

  I guess in a sense it does lead to competitors trying their best to compete and create better games than their contemporaries. In an ideal world, all games would be playable on all platforms, of course, but that’s just not realistic - either because of contracts or hardware limitations.
  
  Or greed lol

    No, it stifles competition because they can say “we don’t need to worry about competing with that game at all because you can’t buy it on this platform”.
    
    but that’s just not realistic
    
    It’s completely realistic. We just pass a law that bans yet another anti-competitive anti-consumer behavior.

  Astro Bot and the influencer community are doing most of the heavy lifting.

  Agreed. At least SOME of the games are coming to PC… Oh but they need all your personal information so you’re basically integrated into their ecosystem whether you like it or not.
