What are the exclusives?
We don’t need to flex about owning every console. I own basically every one as well except PS5. I kept waiting and waiting for a good sale and a good library just like PS4. The wait has not rewarded me lol
All of these are available on PC and/or Xbox. Several are PS4. Not a single one is exclusive.
I understand these things don’t bother you but you can’t say it has plenty of exclusives when it literally does not. You just aren’t bothered by that fact and that is fine. But it makes me question what I would be buying when I have more affordable ways of playing all of these games since again, they have virtually no exclusives and their best studios have dropped little to nothing due to their failed gamble with live service.
The PS3/PS4 had several single player titles that you could only play on PlayStation and were made specifically for them. They weren’t resting on the laurels of previous releases and just giving them a new coat of paint. They had bigger, better, more exclusive libraries. The PS4 in particular had clear value. No one had to argue for it. The library is considered one of the best.
I am a big proponent of consoles believe it or not but frankly the PS5 is a head scratcher for me at the end of the day. Especially for the (now increased) price.
> All of these are available on PC and/or Xbox.
That's not correct. God of war Ragnarok an Ghost of Yotei are not on PC / XBox. But they will probably eventually make it to PC.
Why do you think that releasing games on the PC (a year or two after the PlayStation release) is a bad thing? It means you don't need to buy a PlayStation to play their first-party titles, assuming you're a patient gamer. It also means Sony makes more money from the bigger PC market. Win-win
Majority of those games came out 1st on PS, they are releasing some of them later on PC and that’s fine.
Like I said, since I don’t want to play on PC the best option for me it’s to play them on the latest PS hardware, that a game also comes out elsewhere doesn’t detriment my experience.
Again it’s not about your preference. My initial comment was “they don’t have exclusives,” which you contested, then shifted to “well it doesn’t bother me.”
I’m not debating preference. I’m saying they don’t have a robust library for the PS5 compared to previous hardware and they lack exclusives, yet here they are hyping the PS6. If you are happy with your PS5 then great! Many people are. But the library is thinner and depends on old titles. That is just reality.
Why should I expect the library to be better next iteration when they’ve farted their way through the last 5+ years and seem to have no interest doing otherwise?
It’s not a flex at all, just for reference.
I get every console at launch, so I went from PS4 to Pro to PS5 to Pro.
At launch I really enjoyed Demon’s Souls, which I never played in PS3, fantastic game. Then came out Returnal probably my favorite 1st party game so far, really looking forward to its sequel Saros next year.
I also played Ragnarok, GT7 (with PSVR2 is fantastic), Horizon 2, and yes, all these came out also for PS4 but are undoubtedly better on the PS5. I’d just get a PS5 just because of the fast loading, it’s awesome.
There’s also Spider-Man 2, Ratchet, Death Stranding 2, Ghost of Yotei, and I’ll probably leaving others but there’s plenty of great 1st party exclusives. There’s also a bunch of great 3rd party exclusives as well.
I don’t game on PC though, used to when I was younger but I prefer to play on consoles now and use the computers for work and other things.
