:russ: I’ll watch the video tomorrow, but I came in expecting this video lol.

I will say at least to me this is Sony’s weakest gen. Jim Ryan’s fetish for live service games did some damage. My ranking goes
  1. PS2
  2. PS1
  3. PS4
  4. PS3
  5. PS5

Basically this

Also that's how I rate the consoles but with the PS1 over the PS2 slightly because of the crazy amount of different rpgs on it.

He had some weird points in the video, like him showing the "exclusives" that have released on PS5 thus far but then he omitted a bunch while showcasing some from the first 5 years on PS4.

but then he skips Ragnarok, Forbidden West and a few other games here and I know he's not showing EVERYTHING but come on breh. Where's Yotei, where's DS2? Where's Helldivers 2? What about Stellar Blade? What about Rebirth? You put XVI but not Rebirth when they both released a year within each other. You already know Wolverine is coming next year, as is GTA 6, as is Saros and more.


The point about "some of these games came out on PS4." is moot because those games are worse versions on PS4 via much lower framerate, loading times and resolution/visuals. No one is actually about to pop in a PS4 copy of a game they're playing on PS5 and being happy with it. Am I saying a PS4 games are dated? No, I'm saying if a PS5 version exist, that version will be played.

Nobody with a high end GPU for example, will be complaining that there's "no games" because their games can be played by someone with a card 2/3 tiers below them or lower. Nobody goes "Man gaming on this thing is disappointing because I have a 5090 and people with a 2070 can still play this game smh." Only valid concern during the beginning of the gen was worries about games holding back tech/scale because it having to be developed for an older console. Also, just because a game DOESN'T exist for last gen doesn't mean it couldn't have been made. Some games just would be inferior on last gen but technically could've been made.

Nobody is willingly choosing a PS4 to play said cross gen games at all when the option to play on PS5 is there. The only point I would agree on is the lack of a big ND game in 5 years. That's the only issue I have with the PS5 thus far, other than that there's a bunch of games.

objectively valid points :ehh: no one ever makes the cross gen exclusive argument in good faith, it's either stan babble or ppl reaching for reasons to say current gen sucks.

now watch them all either ignore this post, collectively play stupid in response like they usually do (definitely not stan behavior), or deflect/rage bait (see above)

You already have cryinginthecut 🤣 at the message which means it's a valid post but for bitter and personal anger reasons have to pretend otherwise.

Like, the "cross gen games tho.." argument is not inherent to PS5 first party titles. Almost every major game this gen had a PS4 version but you don't see this talk around the likes of Elden Ring, RE 4 Remake, Cyberpunk 2077. Nobody is going off about Hollow Knight Silksong being on PS4 though :mjlol:

Hell, Cyberpunk was a perfect example of people showcasing why it was pointless to play on PS4 and how even just a boosted version was superior at it's launch. Nobody when talking about how good Cyberpunk was is talking about the PS4 or X1 version. They're talking about the PS5/XSX version or PC. Nobody said Diablo IV wasn't really good because a PS4 SKU exists. It's just arbitary stan babble.
