Honest-Word-7890 OP t1_jcxuy86 wrote

Well, I like my current Nintendo Switch, I suppose that I would like anything better than just an overclocked Tegra 2. If it will be like just a Wii (an overclocked GameCube) I would be quite deluded, like I was with the Wii (I find every other Nintendo console cool). Steam Deck looks bulky, somewhat unattractive.

I think my initial comment is the same view Nintendo will have. As long as there is (just) enough power to do what they want with it then it's adequate. It'll likely pull in a decent profit for them without it needing to be a powerhouse.

I've had a series S before, so I knew what I was going for.

Honestly, if you have the money, best bet is to get PS5+Xbox series S.

I mostly play ARPGs like Diablo/PoE and Monster Hunter games, so for these 2 genres there are no exclusives and performance for some games is better on series X.

I like trophies that motivate you to engage with parts of the game you might otherwise have skipped over. Like say in fighting games when there's a trophy for getting certain character endings, or completing survival mode. Normally I might not do those things so that's nice.

But crap like in the OP? Why? Sometimes it feels like there's zero thought put into them, like they got the unpaid intern in the office to make up a list because they couldn't be bothered. It's so weird to put zero effort into a part of your game like that.

If your friends are on xbox, get the xbox. Then you can do like I did and pick up a ps4 pro for like $200 and buy all the exclusives second hand on fb marketplace or equivalent.

I have a collection of like 11 PS exclusives and they play really nice.

All games are still on PS4 and the PS4 pro is like the Xbox One X. You dont need the ps5 at $700 to play the ps exclusives

You know you want a ps5, then just go for it. I own both consoles and both of them are amazing. So it can only comes down to what games you want to play, and since you want to play those ps5 exclusives, then go for the ps5. The Xb one can still last you another year at least before they fully stop making new games for it and if you buy the xb series in the future, any previous xb games can be play on it
