FiremanDan Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) Hi all. I just purchased my first gaming pc ever, just because I wanted the “pc experience”. I’ve been using console for the past 20 years of my life. I currently have a PS4...but don’t know if I should buy the new PS5 since I have a pc now. My pc specs: Ryzen 7 2700 @ 4.10GHz 16GB DDR4 3200mhz RAM GTX 1070 8GB 256GB SSD 1TB HDD Gigabyte B450 Motherboard 550W Gamdias PSU 80+ Bronze Gamdias Talos M1a The only reason I see myself buying a ps5 is just for the exclusive games. But then again...I would like to have a collection of ps5 disc cases for show. No point of having the same games on the same platforms though. Thoughts?

Shagger Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) Nothing wrong with having both, just so long as you're not stretching yourself financially to do so. Edited February 19 by Shagger Withywarlock and killamch89 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I know people that has all consoles and gaming to Laptops. Never wrong wit that as long as you are happy and you have the money to buy games for it. Get to stream off from your PS5 to your PC 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Have both. I think you would benefit from a lot of indie games if you choose the PC. And console is already a winner for it's own platform supported games. PS 5 would be having a lot of interesting games on it and some PC based games wont work there. So have both.

The Blackangel Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I am on a gaming PC, so I would end up with both. Assuming the PS5 has anything to offer that actually interests me. Specs don't really mean shit because it's an alien language to me. So everything that @FiremanDan listed, is nothing to help me, and I don't even know if he's talking about his PC being better or worse than a PS5. Simple stuff, dumbed down would be the way to talk to me in this area. Reverse compatible Improved graphics Faster processor And so on, in that manner.

I also have no clue if that stuff there is bad, ok, good, amazing, phenominal, or pure shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreiMirfi Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I'm one of the guys that like consoles, but don't have them. I'm always like: I can do more stuff with a computer rather than a console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I see a lot of itch game developers making it for PC and Linux more than PS 5. So I don't want to miss out on small games which are worth playing on PC. So both PC and PS5 is the option for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 You will be surprised that they are many more games on PC more than consoles. There are far more PC games library than anything else. Each day there are new games and each day they are all for PC. I mean seen games get released on PC way before other consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sincerem Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Their is nothing wring having both game consoles running in your house. But i prefer play station consoles than the pc type. So I'll choose PS5 than the PC version. I can't even have time to play my PC when i have PS5 working perfectly cos the game play is super. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 If you are capable of affording them, then i would say just get a PS5 as well, for the price, PS5 is offering a very decent performance, that a PC equivalent would cost you much more, but gaming on PC has its own vibe and uniqueness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree more developers choose to release for the PC than the console. and there is more profit for them on the PC instead of the console.

The game like Valheim that's being sold over again for people on PC 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but that makes no sence. Console exclusives are what they are and serve a purpose other that just making money on their own, so they're a different matter, for any other game what makes the most sense in the name of making money is to sell on both console and PC. When games launch, at least primarily, on PC it's because literally anyone can do with little scrutiny and quality checks. In other words, it's easy. People defend the lack of quality control on platforms like Steam, but the "open policy" is not a good thing and is mostly a source of problems. If someone actually dose value quantity over quality then that's perfectly fine, I just don't. Not I'm complaining though, I do like how the PC market filters out the garbage so the only the good indie's find their way to console, it makes things easier.

skyfire Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 There is also factor of the money to be made from the transactions. PUBG makes more on the PC and mobile. And compared to most of the console games, this type of approach makes more money for developers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Both for me mate. I'm just waiting for a PS5 to actually be available lol. Seriously though, I want to get some God Of War into my system and I also can't wait for the upcoming Ratchet & Clank game to come out in the near future.
