I like the feature on PS5 you can let a friend play anywhere in the world. He helped me out with a boss in a game. The quick resume on Series X is neat but sadly hot hardware-related. Series X has the best Dpad ever beating out the Saturn. The PS5 controller is nice. Other than that while I have a lot of games. So few of them seem to be any different than 8th-generation games in gameplay esp as most are cross-gen. Even the noncrossgen ones don't scream gameplay wise this can't be done before. Faster loading times are nice but is that it? Rift Apart showed promise in a game mechanic. So few games have done that. What we got this gen is 30-40FPS with bad frame pacing in games like Dragon's Dogma 2 or FF16.
I have played games since the mid 80s and the first game I played was Superman on Atari 2600. Generations used to fill me with optimism and glee. This gen is mostly dread and gloom. Like the great depression. gaas gaas gaas. Killing ownership and layoffs. Where is the Dust Bowl?
Switch is still a better system than these 2 and the best system ongoing. Still getting good 3rd party stuff esp as a classic game fan but Stuff like TotK showed new mechanics thought impossible for modern hardware let alone Switch.
