Is the PlayStation 5 Worth it in 2023? A PC Players Perspective
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 янв 2023
- Sony has announced the @PlayStation 5 shortage is finally over after a little over 2 years since launch. The questions now is should you get a playstation 5 if you've been on the fence or if you're like me and mainly play on PC? Let me know what you think about the current state of the playstation 5 and if the exclusives are enough to sway you into getting one right now.
*Amazon still has you request to get one so I'm not sure how much longer that will be the case.

As mainly a PC gamer, I don’t see enough people mention the big differentiator for PS5 or any console being the convenience. The one-button and go ability of consoles, especially the current gen, is utterly unmatched when looking at a PC. If you want raw unlocked performance, PC. If you want a no frills couch convenient experience, console. It’s that simple.
Cost is a big factor too. For an extra $100 my CPU and heatsink upgrade into my AM4 could have been the PS5 disc drive version. I am strongly considering a PS5 if these new releases stay as poorly optimized on PC as they have been. My 5700 XT is at best on par with a PS5 and I'd have to spend PS5 AND XSX pricing to get a 4070 ti.
@Konk89 As both a PC and PS5 player it's extremely difficult dropping all the way down to a measly 60FPS. A PS5 is nice to have, but don't ever think your missing out on much. PC will alway's reign supreme. I'm soooo used to high FPS on my PC now that 60FPS feels sooooo sluggish.
@@RemmyRiffs I don’t disagree. Getting games cheaper knowing they will run better I think more than beats out the convenience factor.
@@Konk89 I Have both Ps5 and PC and I truly believe the reason why they are been poorly optimized its because they want to force people into Buy the new Gen consoles so bad,when in Reality both ps5 and xbx are not stronger than a 3070 nor 3080..but its crazy because now they be asking for 32GB of Ram for these new games lol.
Price is a big factor between consoles and a PC. I may have to spend > 3x of PS5 to get a decent PC which can run all games at 60 FPS, 1440p. I have a gaming laptop which I bought 3 years ago and it cost me $1100 and now it barely runs 60 FPS of previous year's games with medium - high settings. Also, sometimes games on PC are choppy for whatever reasons. However, price of games and mods makes PC gaming a compelling contender.
The PS5 was out of stock for so long that I don't even want it anymore.
Good thing you’re watching videos on it then 😂😂😂
That's kinda where I'm at, hence why I'm here. But then, with a PlayStation I can post up playing games in my bed on my TV, not sure I want to sit at a desk, or run a 20ft male to male HDMI cord to my TV to play in bed all comfy lol. Gah idk
1 that’s a lie and 2 you’re missing out. I just got mine a few days ago and tbh, the best gaming investment I’ve ever made.
@@fuckthevaccine2160 That's a lie? Do you live in a room at sony entertainment? If you can't just walk into a store and buy it at the original advertised price, then yeah, it's out of stock. I got tired of waiting and went to Xbox. I walked into the store and bought a series S at ADVERTISED PRICE. I JUST found a PS5 in Walmart this last week. I agree its a decent investment, depending on if you're ok with there being games you'll never be able to play on it, but dude, take off the blinders lol.
@@fuckthevaccine2160 got mine’s yesterday love it 😭😭
I'm selling my PS4 and am I going to finally pull the trigger on the PS5. As a PC and Switch owner, this video is really what convinced me. While I love my PC, I also love playing games on the couch on a bigger screen away from my desk, especially as a college student, since that's where I spend a lot of time working.
Have you got one yet???
@@ericwalker6477 yes, and I love it!
@@isaacschmidt9084 🏆
How much did you sell your PS4 for?
I have a slim and 7 game DVD's that I need to get rid of.
Bluetooth controllers exist
No disrespect meant, honestly sir but the stand is required for PS5. You're blocking the air vents at the bottom from dispersing the heat from the console. You may be having issues but you will. Sony states right in the instructions that the stand is required or malfunction can occur.
Honestly, with how popular consoles are, most developers will probably optimize their ray tracing around these consoles. Since the PS5 is basically a PC using no unique architecture I imagine console optimization will translate to PC. These machines will stay relevant probably for the next 5 or 6 years.
"No unique architecture" blud the SSD I/O throughput is unique...
Dude the PS5 has a unique power management and has custom hardware for SSD I/O. It has built in hardware for decompression which leads to pretty much instant decompression and transfer of game data to RAM. Also, PCs do not have unified memory unlike consoles. The consoles are similar but not exactly like PCs. Sony and MS has done a lot of customisations to remove common bottlenecks that happen during gaming.
The PS5 for me was really under consideration at one point in time, but it was so hard to obtain for so long, I just built a gaming pc instead. I had already done a little pc gaming before that point (had a gaming laptop) & I was interested in pc gaming before the PS5 showed up, but those stock issues is when I sealed the deal for good.
Now my pc library is massive in comparison to my console libraries & I have a gaming laptop (that I got for cheap) & a Steam Deck that all sync with each other, it's hard to consider anything but pc gaming at this point.
Still, I'll admit I get the urges of wanting a PS5. I grew up with the Sony consoles after all (& Nintendo too). I was a console player for a majority of the time I called gaming my hobby, so the thought comes to mind from time to time. I still consider pc gaming the best for me, but man, sometimes the urge is strong for the PS5. Won't give in on that thought tho. I'll be patient for PS5 ports making their way to PC, even if they tend to take years.
@@missrochelle1126 The Steam Deck does not go up to 120fps, it only has a 60hz screen. If you want a 120hz screen on a handheld for playing in bed, the new ROG Ally has that covered. I don't have a ROG Ally myself, so I can't speak of experiences with the device, but that's the device you'd want if you want the possibility of 120fps.
Honestly with your setup you’re already self aware and I’ll have to agree with your assessment. Getting a Ps5 right now isn’t too feasible or even a good investment unless you have the cash to burn just for the exclusives.
Man, im right there with you. Same story from console to pc and is really hard to go back. Grew up with NES and PSX. Saw a PS5 today and the urge was there. Im on the same boat and trying to wait for PS5 games to get on pc. We need Ghost of Tushima as soon as possible.
Considering the best performing graphics card you can get today is like $2,000 I would say a ps5 for $500 is more than worth it and this is also coming from a pc gamer who is fed up with the pc component market
Depends on the country you live in. In my country you have to spend all east 900us for a ps5 while an rx6800xt which is atleast twice as fast (probably even more than that due to clock speeds) cost from 500 to 600. If you already have a pc with a pretty wide library of games I think you are better of upgrading cpu and gpu for a little bit more than the ps5. Keep in mind if you buy the console the latest titles can cost up to 70 dollars without sale and you have to pay for multiplayer.
@@tafarimakonnan1763 US prices has the cheapest version of the RX6800XT at around $550 or so, not to mention any other components you might also need. After the third cheapest card, they all jump to above the $700 line.
@TotemoGaijin you could use a ryzen 5600x or non x and 32gb ddr4 and you have a great system for about $1200
@@tafarimakonnan1763 Yeah, you could, but at that point you've also gone double the price of a PS5. (I'm actually going to be gradually upgrading my pc this year from a 3600X to a 5700X and a RTX2060 to...something...maybe, lol. Though its more just for faster encoding when I convert mkv to mp4 in handbrake.
@TotemoGaijin yes you doubled the price but you will get more than double the performance. At console equivalent settings you will have atleast triple the frame rate.
There are multiple reasons that I prefer gaming on PC over console. If I had to pick the biggest reason, it would be the infinite backward compatibility and forward compatibility of the games.
Hell No!
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is unplayable in Breach unless in 60 FPS.
Medal of Honor Airborne is unplayable, even BF 2042 crashes all damn time.
AC: Origins needed to be moved to Local Disk C to work on Steam.
Little shit like this that adds up and worsens your days.
@@cezarstefanseghjucandon't forget that slight little Fps makes you move so much faster
From your video and reading the comments it's not just opening up sales to the PC market, it's actually opening up console sales. It's genius to release great games on Steam with their sequels not out. I feel like we're not the only ones that broke down and just got a PS5 for the next instalment.
Sony marketing gave you the first game as a sampler, then said if you want the improved sequel, you have to join the club and buy a PS5. That is Playstation. Finely crafted exclusive games for members of the club. The model works because game quality and innovation are preserved for consumers willing to pay for quality.
Xbox is going the opposite direction. Consumers don't want to pay for the games and the quality is dropping. MS will eventually drop the consoles and stream budget games via a Game Pass app on every device to 2 million noob casuals on TV, PC and mobile phone.
@@itsjusterthought7941 It is finely crafted marketing and a $500 box to join the club. That being said I can be pretty patient and I don't doubt Ragnarok will be on PC probably next year sometime. If I had wanted to wait, wasn't going to be in need of a PC upgrade soon, and wasn't interested in other games like FF16 and the FF7 Remake series I wouldn't have bought one. Because I was in that perfect storm moment though I figured why not and I've been pretty happy with that choice ever since.
@@sadisticDwell good thing is they are barely making any money so if u dont pay for Ps+ monthly u wont be feeding them to much money 😂
@@itsjusterthought7941 there's nothing more noob and normie than a PS5 console. Also PS5 exclusives are shit.
I did that for spider man 2
I got my ps5 about two weeks ago at Walmart when them taxes hit I wasn’t on the hunt because Ik most place don’t have anything but man my local Walmart had one left and I scooped it up. So glad and happy I finally have one and can experience everything thus far. Definitely worth it in 2023
Lmao I got mine beginning of this year when taxes hit
Enjoy
I feel like graphics can only get so good, the consoles are starting to get to a point where any graphical increase would be minimal on the experience. But that convenience will always be there over the dreaded launchers :/
i noticed that you only have 17k subs but i was genuinely surprised by that your video quality is so good to me that ive seen from channels with 10mil+
Thank you very much 🙏🏼
I got my PlayStation 5 two days ago and I love it I was extremely happy when the Walmart employee put it in my hands I got the disc version.... I was refusing to buy a PS5 from a scalper
For normal people who don’t want spend big money also with good game performance, is worth it
That doesn’t make you normal. That just means pc is too complicated for you, and more of hassle. Because you don’t want to get into it and are comfortable with what’s familiar. Lmao “normal” wtf haha I agree with the money aspect tho
@@SuperBabyMario0C A good PC can be 2k and you dont have to pay online , can pirate games and exclusives are less and less everytime unless you buy a Switch. Sony is the new Apple of gaming
@@muccisebastian9300 no shit nigga
Kinda difficult to compare. If you know what you do and build the system yourself, a PC that outperforms the ps5 is around 800€ where I live. The PS5 here is 550€. Yes, the console is cheaper, but ps+ is more than 50€/year. So, the point where you break even is after 5 years. Probably sooner, because you can buy a lot of games with huge discounts on PC. Not to mention all the other advantages of PC. But there is nothing wrong with buying a console if ease of use is the most important for you.
@@dr.brennstab2201 I dont play with friends on ps5, so I purchased every game thru Amazon and return it after I finished playing it
Short answer? For me at least. Yeah it was worth the buy, even if I was 3 years late in getting one. The shortages are gone and done with
Really one of the best videos about this subject,I didn't expect much when I saw the views but everything was very good from your narration to the aesthetic and game footage
Thank you 🙏🏼
Growing up with a playstation. I've notice that the interface is very similar across all generations. like navigating them is pretty easy if you used one of the previous systems.
As a pc player , this videos got me pretty convinced to get one . I wanna play spider man 2 and stellar blade and also my laptops pretty old now and can’t run the newest games . I was gonna just buy a new pc but my buddy upgraded big time so he’s giving me his old one with a 3090 set up so no need to buy a new pc . Great video man ! Gonna pick me up a ps5 this week
Dude, I freakin love your vids! It helps me making choices, and be jealous of all the stuff you show. Please keep making these! All the best in 2023!
Thank you very much I appreciate it! I’m hoping to do some giveaways this year so you might get some of the stuff I showcase 🙏🏼
@@1UpNerdcore Pog
The problem with PC gaming (for me) is that it's almost all entirely digital now, usually on Steam. You don't really have control over a digital piece of media, you don't have something you can preserve and/or sell on etc. On the other hand where PC shines is in oddball, quirky hit indie titles (like Phasmophobia, Grounded, The System Shock remake etc) or the amazing modding community that can do wild things not possible on console e.g making Alien Isolation run in VR etc. It's great for things like that or very cheap deals but for my bigger AAA purchases I usually go for the PS5 now. My Steam library literally cost thousands and yet I don't really own any part of it...
Most things have gone digital and I don’t think that’s a bad thing. The big sales you get on PC are great but you can’t trade them in. The couple bucks you get off trade ins compared to the advantages of what you can do on a PC isn’t worth it to me personally. Where consoles shine is the exclusives and ease of use. Just hoping into a game quickly is what makes it so convenient compared to a pc.
@@1UpNerdcore I don’t necessarily think it’s a bad thing either, it’s just I bought rainbow six siege on steam and Ubisoft could not verify it so I never actually got to play on the PC so I became really good at it on Console
ive mentioned this a few times to my pc gaming friends why i play my games on a console despite having a pc more powerful than a current gen console and they lose their minds, and its actually simple, i need a different environment to feel at ease when i want to relax, i already sit in front of a PC 8 hours a day to work, and i dont want to spend more hours on it again to game, my example i always have to mention is imagine you work as a cashier, and when you get home from your shift, you go to your desk that looks like cashier table, and your PC is a replica of a cash register machine, you would go insane. point is sometimes its not about the power of the gaming system. for me at least
The amount of sony ponies pretending they're switching from PC to PS5 is crazy.
I wanted the PS5 but ended up getting a 4070ti matched with the Quest 2 for PCVR. Going to miss those exclusives, but love the immersion in racing sims.
I love sim racing. I'm leaning toward a pc
Me too. I went to the store as i heard the PS5 are now on the available on the shelves. But went out with a Palit 4070 ti instead.
gran turismo vr is the best and it’s exclusive .. love racing sims as well
There are like 5-6 exclusive games on PS5 so you're not missing anything.
@@kiattim2100 God of War Ragnarok?
Watching this because i am tempted to get one for Spiderman 2 😭
literally bought one yesterday for this exact reason
Worth it if a ps5 has everything you need from exclusives to how well it performs. I love consoles and own all three at point but I always end up playing competitively on pc.
Which a p5 can't do you can't game so competitively on PS5 at least vs PC players
The shortages gave me perfect reason to buy a high end pc. Don't think I can go back
That’s because you’ve never experienced the PS five controller
@@Firestorm2056 yeah I played on PS5 many times. Sucks compared to a 3k pc
I subbed for the Below Zero experimental vids a while ago but this video popped up in my notifications so I thought I'd check it out. Your overall video quality has really stepped up since then and even since last year. Studio looks nice too! I actually bought an ergochair a little while after your review and I'm still using it to this day. Really like it. Only problem I have had is with the headrest. It's been starting to crack at the base recently but it's held up well otherwise.
Thank you 🙏🏼

When comparing performance with a PC, u should consider the price level.
I'm getting one because I simply don't have time for PC gaming anymore. I just need something I can turn on, and not have to worry about.
I am pretty hardcore into PC with simping and grabbing a 40 series. I have been grabbing titles that blow my mind on PS5 lately and even the new deadspace, callisto and part 1 of the last of us. It takes me a bit to do 30 frame native 4k, but its amazing performance for the price tbh. Callisto and deadspace ran better on my ps5 ironically. (repurchased DS remake for the deck too). Frankly, I am tired of micro stutter. Now that voice discord is on PS5, I find myself on my pc less and less unless its a pc exclusive.
Not only that. With dreams on ps5, i use it to make 3d worlds for my music videos. so i create and i edit videos in realt ime in 4k... Its insane.
Yup same not crazy into pc but I did pickup a 3060 in the pandemic with i7 unlocked and I was on it all the time but I can move my ps5 anywhere including inside w my 4K tv (my pc set up and sesh room is in the garage) and bring it inside my garage for 120hz gaming and damn I wanted to make music videos so now I will definitely pickup dreams since it’s on sale and create there plus the two wire setup when moving it around and 1 button accessibility is just a game changer you wouldn’t think it is until you’re actually doing it I love my ps5 idk if it’s cause I’ve owned playstation my whole childhood until now or cause I actually just love the ui (although I wished they added folders on Home Screen) I actually got the psvr2 over a a pcvr just for exclusivity and the tech yeah the price was crazy but I still always use it not all the time I alternate my games (gt7 w sim setup, pavlov, demeo) a lot but it’s there and having it there is great especially seeing the new games coming out like synapse (tangent) thx for reading I love both pc and ps5 but I thinkkkkkkkm I’d take my ps5 pc has always had me bc of mods tho and messing w settings to your like and yeah ofc running at crazy frames is always cool
Plus forgot this but pc makes it so annoying to splitscreen co op which is extremely underrated now when having friends family over gotta Bluetooth the controllers or wire them and then hope the game on pc has good controller support for multiple controllers im sure and heard of people who make it work but just that hassle in itself like the boys and I just wanna play some zombies!
I am in the same boat, except I had a PS five first and everything feels too complicated on PC and I just want to know is it hard to go back and forth from PC and PS five because I have a lot of games on the PS five but I have a lot of PC exclusives on the PC I just wanna know how hard it is to go back-and-forth
Do you still play Callisto?
I’d I had a nickel for every time I saw a PS5 stood vertically without its stand
I am also a PC gamer, but bought a PS5 just because of the terrible PC ports of late.... I was hoping there will be more games running at 120hz, also most PS4 games do not have PS5 updates, so they will run at 1080p30 (no bueno!)
Thank you the aim bot isn't enough to conquer the higher FPS and movement you get with pc
I've been so disappointed with PC ports lately that I've been thinking about getting a PS5 honestly. Right now there's a sale on the GOW bundle at 569€ instead of 619€ so that might be a good time to get it. Plus, I'm very interested in getting FFXVI and FFVII Rebirth, don't think I can wait for the PC ports on these haha, great video though man keep it up.
Ive been finding myself getting more modern games on PS5 than my PC. Mind you, I have a rtx 3070, r5 3600x build. When I buy a ps5 copy of a game, I just put the disc in and play.
With PC I feel like I have to spend 5 minutes to sometimes an hour to figure out how to get the game to run properly. Sometimes I cant at all.

@@alef3356 Please dont give Nvidia money. The 4000 series is DOA in my opinion. GPU's should be given at least 16gb of VRam in modern day. The 4090 is the only card worth looking at but it's a ludicrous price.
People need to vote with their wallets to show Nvidia and AMD that they need to start stepping up their game with better products. The crypto craze is over (for now) and gamers control the market again.
I've purchased a PS5 today. I've been a lifelong PC gamer but the issues, the main issue for me, is cost. In my country I was able to get my PS5, plus charging dock and extra controller for cheaper than upgrading to a decent GPU and RAM. That means I could play AAA games without needing to sell my soul and get a current gen GPU. Also the way those PC ports are, at launch, you have to wait even longer for them to be in a decently playable state. TLoU is an excellent recent example of thise.
Pc gaming isnt for people that carry a light weight wallet. Console is for you my friend :)
@@Annihilation99or maybe it’s for people who realize price to performance is a thing and doesn’t want to glaze companies like nvidia for selling overpriced hardware :)
If you like playing console games yes get a console, the last of us is a console game ported to a PC that’s why there are all the issues because it was done poorly. This has nothing to do with the PC hardware
I have a PS5 and a 7900xt PC (yes- high end pc). I split my time 50/50 between them. My only rule is that a game on console must be 60fps minimum or else its not even a consideration. Wireless Dualsense (need a wire for PC for full functions), it just works, and games (especially Sony 1st party) can rival the looks of games on my high-end PC. Plus-, there is something nice about still owning physical games. You don't need to worry about lost licenses or a storefront deciding what you need to still be active on your PC etc.
Reading these comments, I find it hard to believe that no one has yet mentioned the exclusive. Sure, I wish exclusives weren't a thing, but these businesses have to compete somehow, and Sony has grown custom to the fact they develop outstanding original story based games like God Of War, Horizon, Ghost of Tsushima, Spiderman, TLoU, Uncharted etc. Sure, I get that some are releasing on PC and you could just wait, but I think that is very much down to preference, and if you have the money to spare and you're an avid gamer, then it's a no brainer.
Well said 🙏🏼
This week i was just thinking of getting one for like 2 or 3 exclusives but 550€ is steep and then 30-40€ each game. I'm getting the urge all the time but i think i'm going to stick with the pc and having a ps5 controller and contend with waiting for exclusives to come to pc.

I play my Xbox and PC most of the time. I had a PS4 for about 10 years. It started to overheat. So, I got a PS5 to finish ghost and second son. Hopefully, Silent Hill 2 and syphon filter remake are in the works for PlayStation.
Unless you need a powerful PC for work or you are a hardcore gamer, I really don't see a point spending so much money for a PC when you can get a PS5 instead.
pc has free online, customizability, mods, upgrades, no frame limits, etc
My pc is kind a weak i have the rtx 2060 and i5 9400, so i was thinking should i upgrade it or get a PS5 instead, i just purchased a PS5 last week and oh my goodness this thing a beast, i love it 🔥
I think you've convinced me to go back to PS, I love PC gaming but this year has seen so many unoptimized games on PC that I can't run properly with my RTX 2060 and I7 10700. I wish I could stick with PC, but it's just insanely expensive to upgrade. It's not really one or the other, can still play FPS games on the PC and xbox exclusives, but I fear my PC just isn't powerful enough anymore.
yup, plus preowned games are super cheap.

@@gorgono1 there's no way any game runs worse on that config than on console.
Got mines yesterday out off target got the last 1 was super happy 😂💯
I got a PS 5 that will be here Tuesday I'm happy to have it but the one thing that's made me so reluctant to want 1 is the fact that it doesn't have enough games in 2 years it's got plenty of rewrites remasters and reworked games that I've already played a 100 times on my PS4 they're not gonna look good enough and Play Different enough for me to get a new experience so I'm a little disappointed with the lack of games after 2 years.
I just hope they scrap the mid gen upgrades this time around. The PS4 was under powered when it launched but the PS5 still has a lot of potential. There is no need for another $500-600 system especially at a time when everyone is hit hard financially. If you need to just release a PS5 Slim hopefully with a slight price decrease.
That seems very possible for the reasons you mentioned, but also because the last mid-generation refreshes were mainly for 4K but PS5 already has it and beyond that performance/power is reaching diminishing returns to where it’s hard to imagine something coming out within the PS5’s lifespan that would actually seem worth the upgrade. Going the PS3 route and just releasing cheaper redesigns seems like that best thing to do.
Lol a ps5 with God of war bundle cost like $650. That’s some serious overprice for a console, you can get a decent PC for like $1000. It’s insane

I wish the PS5 had AMD Freesync. I have no idea why they didn't include that like Xbox did. I can't get VRR if I wanted to use a fast 1080p monitor to be competitive, but I could if I had an Xbox. Sony needs to step it up for their next consoles.
Pls use the stand….
You could also just get a used ps4 pro pretty cheap. Sure, some games don’t have 60fps, but you’ll be able to play nearly every exclusive with a ps4 pro and pc (aside from Demon Souls)
My ps4 slim works great and very quiet
Cool video. Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart and Returnal use the haptic feedback on the controller quite well and are also exclusive. Returnal is on PC as well. While not exclusive anymore, Ghostwire Tokyo also has pretty good use of the PS5 controller. Demon's Souls is not too bad either. Gran Turismo 7 is supposed to be pretty good, but I am not a car person. I would say that right now, Sony's exclusive portfolio is bigger than what Xbox has. Microsoft might have 25 studios due to the acquisitions, but how many of these studios have games out that ACTUALLY show off what the Xbox can do? Not too many. Maybe in 2025 or 2026, when some of these studios bare fruit, then things will change. As of right now in the console space, PS5 leads the way.
Hate to say it, but if you're looking for games that will take advantage of the hardware, you're better off getting a ps5. The series s is holding games back from being at the level if the series x due to the spec difference. Look no further than the issues around Baldur's Gate 3.
I used to be a hardcore PC gamer and I HATED consoles. I still prefer the PC experience because nothing beats the mouse and keyboard controls for many games. But all my work and productivity happens on a Mac, and I just got too old and tired to keep a $3000 PC around just to play a game once a week. PS5 is cheaper, easier, and the graphics at this point are okay enough where I don't mind it.
The video I was looking for! Very well explained
Trigger haptics are Insane I can feel walking on grass and water and shooting feels crazy
Bro I'm with you when it comes to these games. I haven't played anything on ps since ps3 so with the ps plus I have so many awesome games I have to play yet but still of course waiting till the 21st for re4make to download!!! And yes I know the game doesn't drop until the 24th but my console says it will download and be ready on the 21st to play the 24th I'm assuming. Won't complain if I can play it the 21st but I doubt it it's probably just the download and locked until the 24th? Not sure all I know is that is says the game will download on march 21st
I have a gaming pc but after sitting down at a desk whole day for work that's not exactly how I want to relax. So a ps5 on the couch or bed! The new mobile pc platforms are great but those full sized pc games will fill that up with one war zone!
then plug ur PC into a TV, bluetooth some controllers to it too

My perspective as a Playstation player is that I'm fed up with PS. I have to pay to play online. I have to pay more for the same games that are on PC as well. There are almost no exclusives for the PS that I want to play, besides Demon Souls remake, God of War Ragnarok, Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon Forbidden West and Spiderman Miles Morales. It's just not worth it for me. Especially since I want to play the older retro games from PS and other consoles, and that's only available on PC (I'm refering to PS1/2/3/Xbox one/Xbox 360/NES/SNES/Genesis/N64/C64/Atari/Gamecube & Spectrum. Also you can mod your games on PC. I'm going to buy a PC over a PS! I might get the PS5 controller though! Do like the headset as well!!
I invested too much in download games like the Devil May Cry collection, and Red Dead Redemption to abandon my PS5. Plus I'm buying Wolverine the day it comes out.
I have a PC but weeks ago bought myself a PS5 when I just want to play and be chill instead of being seated on a Desk since I mostly be there sitting cause of college and also to play sports games with friends like wwe2k and FIFA
Also for the exclusives like Ragnarok and The last of us and Spider-Man
I am planning on getting a PS5 aswell, I have a PC but whenever I want to have a casual gaming experience, PC is just not right for me, my PS4 is getting slower and old and my Xbox is laggy as hell
Very informative and awesome review. Thanks for sharing your honest perspective I found it helpful in deciding.
Did you end up buying a PS5?
Honestly, I've done more emulation on my PC than anything "modern". I think I played a little bit of ARK and the remake of Resident Evil 3, and that's been about it. Otherwise I'm usually playing on my Switch or PS5.
I Just got my ps5 bin pc player for long time.
I am glad i did the step its so good on 4k tv feels and plays amazing
I’m kinda torn actually coz Spider-Man 2 is the only thing that’ll be a PS5 exclusive for a while and only thing I wanna play. Maybe two three years tops till it swings over to PC as well.
I have a high end PC with a 3090. I play games at my desk, but I just bought a 65 inch OLED TV (4k 144hz) for watching movies and gaming in bed. I'm tired of playing at my desk and want to play more comfortably on the TV.
Now I have 2 options:
1. use the high-end PC on both the bedroom TV and the desk monitor
2. Use the PS5 for couch gaming (bed gaming) and the PC only for desk gaming?
To use the PC even on the big TV I would always connect a 5 meter (16.40 ft) long HDMI whenever I want to play. The PC is on the desk but since the TV is in the same room with a long HDMI I can connect the PC to it.
On the one hand I like the plug and play idea of PS5 on the TV and not having to connect the HDMI to the TV every time. On the other hand, I would hate to have an RTX 3090 and not use it, to play with the lower performance of a PS5. Exclusives don't matter much because sooner or later almost all of them come out on PC and I don't mind waiting, I always have something to play. It's also true that playing from a PC I would lose the dualsense functionality since I wouldn't connect the cable controller to the PC from bed. What would you recommend? Thanks for the replies ❤️
I’d just leave the pc plugged into the tv and use both pc and PlayStation whenever I want to on the TV. I switch between 3 PCs and a TV at my house and I’m acclimated to doing it at this point.
@@1UpNerdcore and what do you use the console for? Just for the new exclusives that aren't even on PC, or do you also often play games that aren't console exclusives even though you know they would run better on PC? Sorry to bother you but I just bought a used PS5 at a low price (I couldn't let it get away) and I need to figure out if it makes sense to keep it or just sell it for a profit. The truth is that I would really like to use it but I almost feel guilty using it after spending so much on the PC 😂
@@gabriellevy4460 Hey, what did you do now, keep the PlayStation or sell it? I'm in a similar situation and don't know whether I always want to connect the PC to the TV and then there are the exclusive games like Ghost of Tsushima or Spider-Man 2
I have a pc and just got a ps5 to go with it. Great decision. Recommend to anyone with some extra money
And with a lot of free time lol
So you use both of them a lot? I have a PC with a RTX 4080 and I have been a long time PlayStation and Xbox player I also already had a ps5 and it’s hard for me to acclimate to windows, but I love playing on chill down ready or not GTFO and StarCraft Warcraft Starfield very soon on the PC, I just wanna know if it will feel shitty to go back-and-forth between PC and Console
When PC players start making vids about consoles then you know its definitely worth getting a console 👍😵
🙏🏼
@James Wickham ps5*
@James Wickham not really, since u can play all the games that are on or comes to xbox, a pc and a ps5 is a better choice so u have both ps exclusives and xbox exclusives.
@James Wickham LOL there's zero reason to buy an Xbox Series X/S if you're a PC gamer. PC gamers buy PS5's as their companion gaming console. Xbox sales are vastly declining and with Playstation Plus available for PC most PC gamers prefer the PS5.
I dont miss consoles at all, much less subscriptions.
Console vs. PC. Whats the best Choice for gaming?
What is the best choice for you and your needs and your budget?
For me it´s PC for sure.
Great and unbiased video but I'm sticking with the new GPU I think. The only exclusive games that really excite me are FF7 episode 2 and Bloodborne. I use to have a ps4 for the latter but it broke. Heard the ps5 has better load times for it but man nothing else interests me so the only other appeal for console is the shoddy state of pc ports lately.
Its just something I cope with, considering fixes usually come, but waiting sucks. I just can't imagine playing strategy games or old classics like Baldurs Gate on a console. The variety and options of pc plus emulation is what draws me and then there's modding.
Still sucks that I gotta wait two years for FF7:Rebirtth and FF16, the closest I'll ever get to Bloodborne on pc is Lies of P until ps5 emulation comes along but that front isn't looking too good right now but its a matter of time...probably 7-10 years.
tl; dr I begrudgingly prefer pc
God of war is an incredible game. Glad to see that featured on this channel.
I haven't gamed for 6 years now. All that changes today.
I bought a PS5 Digital for retail price of $400 and it arrived yesterday. I finally own a PS5.
I paired it to my LG CX OLED 65 inch 4K 120hz TV. Its gorgeous. I also own a decent PC.
I run the HDMI 2.1 audio spec into my Denon X2700H AVR, into my Bowers Wilkins 606 S2 AE + centre speakers. Basically a $1700 USD speaker system paired to a $2800 USD TV. I'm so thankful for my success in life at the age of 20 as a hard working student.
I'm decently rich now compared to years ago when I was poor asf so I care for aesthetics. Digital symmetry makes me feel better. There's a ton of factors for why I went discless. It's the best option, for me. I've spent £116 for 8 games which is really good. Some games were cheaper than on disc for Valentines. I love it.
I wish there was a 2tb option for the ps5
Then just upgrade it…
Its not worth it, almost everything available on ps4 still
i've tested loading times against a pc with the latest parts and my ps5 beats the pc loading time by at least 10 seconds and the processing speed of the ps5 is actually insane for a console that's worth 500, is it worth it? most definitely i own one and i can tell you i played the newest re4 remake and the game plays really fucking well and ive never had issues with loading or booting up console, mind you it also has the resume where you left feature where it can be turned off and when you turn it back on it allows you to continue the game where you left off, and even changing between games is faster than pc literally by the press of 2 buttons instead of having to close the game manually inside the main menu like on pc unless you force close, but performing wise the ps5 matches up there to a pc in my opinion because it gvives you the fraction of a what a pc cost but it also gives you the most out of your money, you'll never have issues unless it's with game bug issues and at that point it's up to the developer of the game to fix the bugs, other than that if you're looking into buying the ps5 do it because we also have a bunch of games in the ps catalog you can play games like jak and daxter, all the resident evil games, all god of war games, it's endless fun and nostalgia and ps has better discounts than pc i saw that call of duty was slightly cheaper on ps5 than pc when it was on sale
Yes it is ❤ especially if you have a giant library of physical media and their fantastic exclusives
It's absolutely worth it I just got one last week and had no issue in store as well and yes the disc edition. Idk see how ppl are still complaining that they can't find one I have found one in stock in every major store in my area. Yeah I get they were impossible last year but that's not the case anymore and I'm a pc no more I love my ps5 it's amazing better than xbox's console by far and nontendo isn't even in the discussion. My 6 year old that I have full time I got him a new oled switch and he hasn't played it for more than literally 15 min. Once he saw the ps5 he won't play his nintendo which kinds pisses me off I just spent over $500+ on his oled and wireless controller, and a few more games he had the switch lite already so he had some games and he played it all the time and he looks at the oled then my ps5 and literally everyday "dad can I play spiderman, or spiderman miles plus I did the year of ps premium so his oled is just a fucking dust collector on the tv stand. Also I don't have a ton of issues with games at all but I also bought a tv specifically for the ps5 and it looks amazing on any game I play
Hey man what TV is that
with everything going to be ported, you might as well just get the PC.
Underrated RUclips channel , man deserves some love 🙏♥️😤🥰
One question. How long did you need to get used to the idea that your skills won't be as good on a controller than with a key+m9use? I tried playing games with a controller every now and then, but I always end up saying "I would have done better with a mouse"
I use a controller a lot even on pc and switch back and forth a lot so the transfer was easy. Games like God of War and Horizon Forbidden West to me play better on controller anyways. The controller here is so interactive I find myself wanting to use it more anyways.
yea i bought one a few months ago and i kind of regret it if i'm honest. for fps games i'd much rather play on PC. basically spent 500+$ for a GT7 machine. im not interested in ragnarok or Horizon but honestly even if you are, is buying an entire console worth it for like 2 or 3 games? and paying for a premium subscription with PS+ you'd think it would include Crash 4, Ratchet and clank, GT7. it doesnt. i seriously regret not just upgrading my PC. just my experience. i'm gonna hold off on selling it for a while but gotta say ive been underwhelmed
Mate just sell it if you regret it that much, you can easily sell it for how much you spent and upgrade your pc
See I want one but no games for it I don't want to replay PS4 games I already beat lop
Just sell it while its still hot and wanted. The points/complaints you have now really don't see how it can change over time. If you change your mind down the road, it will be cheaper to buy again later anyway.
It’s crazy how I wanted one so bad but got a pc instead I don’t regret it but it’s funny how I can easily get one for cheap now at my local target and I’m thinking about getting just cause I got money and I’m bored☠️
Lmaoooo do it
@@MakaveliEngaged I did and it’s worth it spider man 2 in a week
I play AAA games I got a ps5 and a 48inch LGc2 for $1600 I'm happy it's also good with a 1440p monitor I will build later
As a fellow switch player any console is better😂
Really considering buying PS5. I have a 5-year-old gaming notebook with a gtx1060 that has served me well but has recently started showing signs of slowing down. Many of the newer higher end games I have played recently have had a ton of stuttering issues. It makes the games unplayable for me. I spent $1500 on this laptop, so I think it's kind of ridiculous that its already out of performance requirements for spending so much money. Whereas a console will have the same lifespan or even longer until a new gen console releases, and it's only $500(for me in my area). Plus, GOW is a must for me. And I don't want to wait 2 years for a port. I think I'm sold on buying this console. Also, I love using a keyboard and mouse with certain games, as I'm sure so many of you do as well. My friend told me that PS5 has keyboard and mouse support for certain games. Hopefully, this catches on more and becomes more popular with future releases.
A gaminng notebook with a 1060 vs a pc with a 1060 are vastly different. The pc would still be viable, but you would for sure lose mobilty. But you also would with a console
@@CopperRavenProductions true.
Doesn't ps5 with keyboard and mouse have noticeable delay
@@Nesa.007 that’s a great question. I haven’t played anything with keyboard mouse, yet.
@@jamestkirkcameron9189 yeah there are very few games with compatability
22:18 - Dude you may be wearing the headphones the wrong way. It's fine if it works for you, but yeah.
Other than that, yeah this sums up my thoughts as someone who has been lucky enough to have a PS5 for over 2 years now. It's a wonderful system with some great games, solid performance, and an incredible controller.
I think he’d notice if he was wearing them the wrong way because of 3-D audio on the PS five
The hole scalping and retail stores price gouging as really soured my taste when it comes to buying one and now that they are available 2 years later , well in the pc world that’s old hardware . So at this point I would rather put that 500$ to upgrading my pc .
I mean sure rtx 4000's are better and you'll have better graphics, but two things major,
Price
Optimisation
Those things matter a lot
@@MegaFrance69 optimization issues are on consoles. Prices are for people that are willing to spend that money and invest in for long term.
I also played God of War on PC and then had to buy PS5 to play Ragnarok! Also all the other games like Miles morales, Last of Us remastered.... Damn good games! Just because I do not want to wait for them to port to PC. Luckily got it a day before the price hike.
This guy gets it 🙏🏼
Damn I literally just did the same thing. Loved God Of War bought the Ragnarok PS5 lol.
I thought ragnorok was also on ps4?
@@themandalorianG yes it is.
But if you’re buying a console for the first time it’s recommended to go for PS5 as it’s future proofed.
I also wanted to play Spiderman series which I loved to play. The upcoming spiderman 2 and wolverine will just be available for PS5.
@@1UpNerdcore have you constantly been using both? I just got a high-end PC but I just wanna know if the PC is worth it for some light modding and PC only games
For me I'll be getting a PS5 for FF7 Rebirth when it comes out, this video helped me understand more about it's purpose and what games to look for, thanks!
to be honest GPU prices made me buy series x during crypto nightmare. series x cost way lesser than equivalent 2060 GPU alone. it was no brainer. but now I have a upgraded pc and I mostly play on it including Forza horizon 5. it depends on Market.
I have been pc gamer for years. I actually have ps5 playing more single-player or causal multiplayer.
Now that PlayStation games are making their way to PC, I have little to no reason to actually pick up a PS5 except for my use with my TV. I have a desk on the opposite wall of my bed and it has my PC setup on top. With my TV, it's on a table/shelf at the end of my bed. If I want to lay in my bed at the end of the day and play some games before I got to sleep I have 4 options. I can either plug my laptop into my tv and use Steam big picture mode, Get a long HDMI cable that I can plug into my desktop and into my TV, Buy a PS5 or Xbox and use that as a secondary system to my PC for use on my TV, or just use my Nintendo Switch when I want to lay in bed. The problem with getting a PS5 or Xbox is that most games don't have cross-save from PC to console. I might just stick with using my Nintendo Switch in bed with my TV because it has a lot of casual cozy games that are perfect to play while laying in my bed. Also getting a long HDMI cable that I can stretch from my PC to my TV might not be a bad idea.
I will continue using my gaming laptop until PS5 come out with a smaller version like they always do. I move around a lot and packing a huge ps5 around just don't seem logical for me.
Especially since it’s a good idea to have a separate bag for the PS five, because you’ll end up breaking the plates because they are just plastic
However, the guy in my GTA crew seems to always be in a hotel, so maybe it’s more portable than you think
I just wont spend 1200 dollars on a pc.. i been playing console games all my life and wouldn't change it for the world top it off i only have time for gaming a day or two a week..
In my opininio its how much money u have and what are you into more
What i mean is if u have for example 2-3k than u can get a decent PC with decent 240hz monitor and u can play what u want
But Like if u have 1k or so i would say its better to go for ps5 and a monitor 165hz and u go to go
Thats just my opinion
I just bought a ps5 yesterday just to play Final fatasy 16. Honestly Haven't own a playstation since the PS2 days.
How do you like it?
With rumors about a PS5 pro coming most likely Q4 2024 I'm just unsure if I want to get a PS5 right now or upgrade my PC and wait for the pro
It all depends what you’re running with right now, if you have a 2080 super or above and equivalent it doesn’t matter if you are amd or Nvidia, I would wait for the PS five pro because it will have the amd equivalent to a 4070, we don’t know the exact GPU, because it will be a console, CPU/GPU combo
@@Firestorm2056 I had a 1080ti and an i7-7700k, felt like it was the last year I could sell it and get some decent money for it... Now I got a 7900 xtx and 7800x3d! Then they announced the spider-man 2 console and I was sold cuz I wanted a ps5 anyways... Been saving up and sold some old stuff but they seem very much worth it right now, only time will tell
The lack of stand on your PS5 is making me anxious
What desk and monitor are you using they look super nice
