      realism is a red herring here. what matters is that the graphics and game play support each other and things be interactive regardless of art style. but they dont do that anymore and give us a stage that looks real but everything is glued together and is completely dysfunctional . realism can look good too if they dont crap all over it by making things ugly.

Remember that "how to share games on ps4" video they made? Yeah, just one generation later and they pulled a complete 180. It was a lie for some easy PR points in the end. Fucking hypocrites.

      Because sales tax in the US varies from 0% to 13.5% depending on which State/municipality you buy in.
      Also it's actually impossible for a customer to calculate a Value Added Tax because it isn't just a percentage of the price. It's a percentage of the increase in value over the previous form of the product (which is not clearly communicated to the customer). If those countries had a sales tax they very well might just leave it to the customers to work out for themselves. It's not like people who do live in an area with a sales tax are actually surprised by the tax.

    For the price of a PS5 Pro + the other stuff you need to make it complete you're better off saving up for a PC.
    Your accessories will always be compatible with any other PC or steam deck or laptop or whatever. There's no online fees. There's no backward compatibility because you just play just about EVERYTHING that's come out. If it doesn't work? There's probably a mod- if you don't wanna mod? Then play one of the 50,000 other games you can play.
    I loved consoles, loved them. Drop the game into the drive and you're playing. No PC BS of having to adjust settings or downloading patches or whatever. You just game. It was nice. Then you started needing to download updates for your game and your console. Oh now you gotta install the game.
    I still loved playing my PS3 but I realized I was bailing to PC that gen. In the time it took to download an update for the PS3 and my game? I could download a full game on PC. (obviously I wasn't testing at the same time) The simplicity and quick go n' game of console was going away fast.
    Now games launch broken for days or weeks. And yes that happens on all platforms but at least on PC I can either get a refund or adjust settings till they fix performance or whatever. Also making art and whatever else on my PC helps a lot too.
    Upgrading in increments when you need instead of spending a boat load every gen is nice and also- you can buy controllers with hall effect sticks on PC and not get stick drift. Unlike Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo. And there's affordable controllers that are good like 8bitdo. $50 for a controller with hall effect sticks and grip buttons or $70 for a controller that's going to fail in a year or so.

    12:16 the console is more expensive everywhere actually. I live in Canada, the base PS5 Pro is costing us $960 WITHOUT TAX or ANYTHING else. I did the calculations when they first announced it two weeks ago, including the price of the disc drive in Canada ($100), and the vertical stand ($40), plus the 15% tax rate in Ontario (most populated province in Canada, and my home province), it totals to approx. $1,243 CAD. When you convert that to American, it's just over $922 USD, even though American you'd only be paying roughly $820 USD for the same list of items. So, their charging us an extra $100 in Canada with everything included, and even just the console by itself, no tax calculations, disc drive or stand, we're still being charged $20 more than the US. Sony hates everyone.

      ​​​@@kenjiii728Then go buy one. Nobody is making you accept Nintendo. Lord knows half the internet is too stubborn to realize that Nintendo is the only company at least somewhat trying to be decent. But dinguses keep biting the hand that feeds them. And keep getting what's deserved.

    ik you mentioned this, but you can get the steam deck. it’s so worth it, the gyro controls work for shooter game aiming if it allows controller+mouse since the gyro works as a mouse, and the buttons are great for movement. the main downside is that if you need to use more than 16 buttons(l1-5, r1-5, a, b, x, y, both touchpad presses) you have to use the d-pad, and for more than 20 you either have to use the fucked up touchpad slide controls or the weird ass radial menu

    You can buy a steam deck. It feels limitless on what games you can play. Even emulators.

    I bought a PS5 Digital, platinum'd Stellar Blade and Astro's Playroom, and returned it because holy crap the games on PS5 are EXPENSIVE lmao. Demon's Souls is STILL 70 dollars. FF16 is 70 bucks + 25 for the DLCs, and I could get FF16 + the DLCs for 61 on PC!
    I played everything I wanted to play on PS4, I'm not gonna play it again on PS5... but it has literally zero new games I was interested in. So I returned it and I'm just gonna get a PS5 controller for my PC, FF16 for PC, and Black Myth: Wukong for the PC, way cheaper than on PS5.
    The meme is real, Playstation has no games lmao.
    Also, Fancy, fancy, honhon, whatever.
