Pretty much. Just for a comparison there (granted it's not perfectly like for like) I booted up PS4 AC Odyssey, and PS5 AC Valhalla.

From hitting "continue" on the title screen to being able to control your character, Odyssey took over a minute, Valhalla was 13 seconds.

Saints Row 3 Remaster took 8 seconds from pressing continue to being in the open world.

I haven't really done any side by side comparisons with the two consoles, but have watched a bunch of Digital Foundry videos. They're effectively the same - Series X will sometimes have slightly higher resolution but slightly lower framerate. In most cases you'd have to go through the games with a tooth comb to really see any differences

I'm just saying, not everyone can afford a good PC. And so I don't think it's fair to tell someone to get a PC instead of a Xbox. And if he is asking to get one console out of two, I don't think it's completely fair to just write one of them off and say "get a PC".

And I gave him an answer. Maybe by the time Sony gets their superior library to PC (it is multiple years away), he can afford a PC.

I have a PC setup on my OLED. It's just a console to me.

Ahh ok but other big games from ubisoft, Warner Brothers, etc are still fast right? And graphics I've heard are the same right? Sorry for all the questions.

When you compare like for like PS5/Series X games, the PS5 is usually a little bit faster. A lot of the PS5 exclusives have pretty much instant loading.

Series x if you aren't invested in Sony exclusives or PS5 if you are invested in those exclusives.

PS5 also has better recording out of the box if that's anything important to you.

Thanks. Also I know loading times are faster on both consoles and Xbox has quick resume but how are loading times on ps5?

He asked about getting a console. And besides, good PCs are stupid expensive. And the price point is one of the major allures of having a console. And besides, Sony is starting to put their games on PC, so eventually the argument could be made that you don't need a console. But consoles have always been more popular for a reason. Even though PCs can do more, most people want a simple way to play their games.

As a Series X owner, I do not regret my choice. It's an amazing console, and despite what people say, it has amazing games. This isn't the 8th generation anymore, there isn't a clear winner. You can't really go wrong with either one. I prefer Xbox for the variety in games, and the amazing value that game pass brings. Although if you like the kind of exclusives Sony has, go with a PS5. But I personally recommend the Series X.

I'm considering getting an Xbox. Btw do you know by any chance if you can connect an Xbox 360 controller to Xbox Series X?

You got a shitty one then man. Mine is just as quiet as my Series X.

Yep, that's correct. If you have space to spare, you can also run PS4 games from the internal or SSD (there's a small improvement to loading with some titles in this scenario).

Thank you! So all ps4 games can run from external drive and only ps5 games from internal drive or a similar ssd? Just want to get that correct.

I saw it but haven't played an FPS game yet. Will give it a try - agreed, it's an amazing feature and a nice touch by Giga.

If you care for Sony exclusives, ps5. If you don’t, definitely Xbox. As someone who has both, the xbox is the better console and gamepass is the best deal in gaming rn

Agreed. I had 3 Ps5‘s which all sounded like electric trimmers when playing a bit more demanding games. Meanwhile the Series X is not silent either, but the only sound it generates is a low humming noise. I’d say Xbox has a better build console while Sony has a better controller.

I all ways mainly had a PlayStation they have all the games I what to play and the exclusive are the ones for me. But Xbox has one of my favourite games halo and gears. All in all go for a ps5.

Depends on what your friends have.

If you're going to be occasionally solo playing and offline, I'd go with the cheapest gamepass.

If you're a good gamer who like exclusives, prolly PS5.

Unsure if you got the short end of the stick but I've never heard a wink out of mine and in terms of flimsy, it just sits there? What's it doing lol?

Flimsy and loud

Appreciate it, I think i got most of those the same. Literally just set it up yesterday. The cross hair option is a nice addition on the monitor for FPS games.

3 likes but 1500 views. I though nobody finds it useful.

Appreciate you!

In between the Xbox and the monitor:

​

• selected between FPS/Standard mode
• Turned ON VRR
• Turned ON AMD Freesync Pro
• Turned ON HDR
• Turned OFF energy saving mode
• On Xbox you must: Turn 4K Off, switch resolution to 1440p and below switch to 120hz. Otherwise it will upscale.

I think that's about it.

Gaming PC plus PS5 is the way. Get the ps5 and save for your PC. Hopefully you can get your pc by the time the Bethesda and Activision exclusives start dropping.
