Is anyone getting a PS5?

Post by takenoko »

I like Demon's Souls, was a big fan of the something awful let's play and got myself a copy in 2012, a year after Dark Souls came out

But honestly, probably going to wait on the PS5 till next year. Either when it's cheaper or there's more games that I want to play on it

But what about you guys? I set the poll to end around November 20, since the PS5 should be out around the world by then

The only console I got on release was a DS, and the initial like 2 year drought of good games sucked. I've never purchased a console on release other than that and don't intend to. I didn't get any Sony console until it had been out like 4 years.

Typically, there isn't anything on it that will really endear me, because I'm primarily a Nintendo guy, so I won't buy it because I don't have the knowledge that something great will come out on it. Typically though, something I do want to play will come out, and by that point the price has dropped and there will be some other older games out that did interest me that will be discounted to pick up.

Nope. I'm going full PC next gen. If we get another stimulus, I'm blowing the entire thing on a Ryzen 5 3600 + 5700 build. Right now I game mostly on an Xbox One S, but I'm going to slowly move towards PC gaming if I'm able to get this machine built.

I've always been too scared to be a PC gamer. (I mean, I spent 15 minutes today trying to get my ctrl button fixed because I accidentally spilled soy sauce in it {Yeah really, I really don't know how so much of it got in there}) Plus the PC is mostly what I use for working on fansubs, so it's kind of my work machine lol

Might pick one up once more games come out and it gets some exclusives, but I'll stick with the ps4 for at least another year or two

No, and I've never owned a console. I could come up with a silly reason like "I'm part of the PC Master Race", but in reality, I have a unhealthy backlog of unplayed games and unwatched videos that deserve my attention more than another piece of very expensive plastic that will only gather dust in my office at this current point of my life.

i just don't see the fucking point of getting a ps5 anymore. I play most of my games on the pc nowadays but even if that isn't the case. Sony's Censorship nowadays seems like it's worst than nintendo's. It's like... why the fuck should i even play games on there.

I wish they would quit that i used to love the playstation brand till they started on this censorship crusade. It's funny cause i still play games on my switch and i DO want an xbox series x simply cause i'll be able to play 360 games on it in better clarity.

Sony just fucking sucks nowadays

I ain't in a hurry to buy a PlayStation 5. I've already spent my money pre ordering the iPhone 12 pro 512GB.

Right now, I'm still happy with my PS4. I'm still playing GTA V and LA Noire. Hopefully, GTA IV gets a remastered.

I used to trying to be a PC player, so that I can play mods on GTA IV and GTA V. But I gave up because the formula of building a computer didn't work for me and it was already wasting money to buy necessary equipment.

For the past couple years, Sony has been forcing developers to censor their games (mostly for being too sexy) that it got to the point where developers refuse to put the game on the PS4. Here's an article talking about the Sony censorship:

It used to be Nintendo was heavily censored their games but now Nintendo is the cool one while Sony is the square.

They'll pick and choose when they feel like it though, that's the part that annoys me.

Senran Kagura aside (because it's mostly annoying people who like games like that), they used some half assed lens flare effect to censor Ladies ass in DMC 5 when it wasn't on Xbox, yet they had a full on sex scene on Last of Us II (which as a Sony funded game).

If I'm honest, the only reason I would get a Playstation over using a PC or getting an Xbox is all the niche Japanese stuff I enjoy like Super Robot Taisen typically only come out on Playstation.

I'm pretty content with my Nintendo Switch and the games I have on that so, I'm not really too interested in obtaining a ps5 right now. Hope you guys enjoy it, though!

Oh wow, that seems rude! Basically, you prefer the PC over the PS5. You think you can say anything you want to curse the new machine? Censorship, spying players?! Come on.
