Good coffee > PS5
PC > PS5
You're not gonna like this but, it depends. Sony implemented some very unique tech into the PS5. So if a game was designed to fully exploit the PS5 capabilities, then your experience playing that game will be far inferior on PC (for now).
SOURCE: I own all the consoles, Steam Deck, gaming PC, GeForce Now Founders subscription, and a number of good coffee makers.
You're not gonna like this but, some unique tech that makes a game look 5% better isn't making the experience better than access to mods, or being able to play 30 years old games on the same machine as a new game, or being able to play on mouse+keyboard. Especially considering games that "exploit the PS5 capabilities" tend to be formulaic AAA games featuring gameplay mechanics that got boring 2 decades ago.
I get the appeal of consoles, people are allowed to like them and I’ll gladly geek out over them IRL.
…but for personal use there’s literally no argument for them lmao. Sure a PC with a decent GPU will cost more, but so do $70 games and a paid sub to use the internet you already pay for to play online. My entire Steam wishlist went on sale this winter, I basically got a 3 for 1 deal.
The only pro would be Sonys ridiculous collection of exclusives but I’ll gladly play the dozens of equally good games in my library as consolation. Maybe another 100 hours into Zomboid…
I've been a PC gamer since the IBM PC Jr (blech) and will continue to be. I see no point for the XBox Series X because of every thing you listed, but I can't agree on the PS5. Sony's dual sense controls and haptic feedback are great tech and any game developed to take full advantage of the will feel better on a PS5. At least until the game is ported to PC with full Dual Sense support.
The bottom line is that you should use the best tool for the job. For PS5 first party titles, use a PS5. For budget gaming, an Xbox Series S with GamePass is a good choice. Can't afford a nice rig to run the latest games but you have good internet access? Maybe GeForce Now is for you? Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch, PCs, etc all have their "best use". Nobody should feel shamed into one thing or another as long as they are having fun.
You know there are games on PC that take full advantage of the haptics on the DualSense controller (such as Returnal) and they feel exactly the same, right? You don't need the PS5 itself to experience that, and I agree it's awesome immersive shit that actually made me update my controllers the same way I did back when rumble was first introduced on the N64.
Developers just need to take advantage of it and add the functionality to their games. And I also personally think Sony needs to get all those extra features working via Bluetooth because I don't want to have to have it physically plugged in just for the adaptive triggers. As of right now, adaptive trigger support is the only thing that you can't use over BT.
Idk man what PC specs
I can't play Demon Souls on coffee.
I jitter too much and fuck up.
