Yeah, I would consider myself primarily a console gamer, specifically PlayStation. Been with the brand since PS1 pretty much. But I've been thinking about the ps6 lately, and my ps5.
I think I might be ready to ditch consoles and switch to PC next gen.
It's no one thing PlayStation did wrong necessarily. It's just another one of those death by a thousand cuts. But a few things....
1. Paying for online is frankly bullshit.
I bought hell divers 2 on launch on PlayStation and a month of online which cost me 14 Canadian.
So PC players who bought it on steam and Sony got 70% of that vs me who bought it on console and gave 100%, I also have to pay an extra fee to play it?
Man fuck you lol
Now a year later I want to go back and pick it up again, but of course online got jacked up another $2 to $16. So pay up.
And for what? To play your first party game?
Nahh man. I'm done being a sucker.
2. Sony porting their Games to PC.
SIngle player is about 75% of my game time, and the primary reason I stuck with console.
But it seems like EVERYTHING goes to steam and epic. PlayStation games, Xbox games, indie games, switch exclusive games. If you are a PC player, you pretty much get everything.
3. Demos. I love demos man. So I always get jealous when steam has these steam next fest events. I always feel like I'm missing out on some big gaming event. PlayStation doesn't have anything for me except a middle finger.
4. Folders. Why I gotta deal with this EVERY generation.
5. Huge deals. I regularly see these big triple a games going for like $5. On console, $20 is a deal.
6. Steam= free cloud saves
Consoles= take a guess
Anyways, just been thinking about this lately. Adding up all the pros vs cons, and it just seems like a no brainer. Yeah the upfront cost can be huge. 100%. Probably double or triple the price of a console, but I feel like the experience is much better.
I don't plan on buying a pc until the ps6 is out, but the fact that I'm even considering switching to PC is fucking bizarre for me. But it feels kinda good.
I'm already scouting PC parts right now lol.
Anyone else make the jump like I'm going to do?
