Welcome to the club Brother!

Waiting for games until they are 80-90% off just makes total sense; although, I do understand the younger gamer's mindset in wanting everything ASAP. Can't blame them, as we are all trained to be very good thoughtless consumers since we were young. I pick up $5 to $10 games on GOG and Steam every so often and never spend more than $20 dollars a month. If no game interesting me that month, I loose those $20 dollars (it happens). It has saved me hundreds, if not thousands dollars over the years, and I still have a huge back-log of games that I have yet to play, let alone finish.

But... I am still pre-ordering the ps5 (If I am allowed) because I have this funny feeling the USD will not be worth very much soon the way the FED has been printing money for the past few years. I might as well get it now that they accept my currency for foreign made products, Plus I need to play the huge back-log of PS4 games I have that I bought for cheap in Playstation sales events. I don't own a PS4, I gave it to my cousins who live outside the USA, and I am not buying a PS4 Pro; that thing is stupid loud.

Mind you I own a decent 1700x/1060GTX/16GBDDR4/NVMe custom self-assembled PC, and I would still will prefer to buy a $500-600 PS5 to upgrading my video card. The console is just a better consumer decision than buying a video card for the foreseeable future. The Ray-Tracing Hype is pushing prices to crazy levels, and my Anti-Hype Shield is holding strong for that shit, until we know which way Ray-tracing method will be truly implement on future games, it's best just to watch the fireworks from a far, and have a good laugh.

Anyway, I digress and would like to congratulate you for leveling up your "Anti-Hype Shield" for every piece of media that comes out. It comes in very handy in real life.

As for not wanting to let Sony make more money of old media, I just think that's selfish. They should totally try to get a much as possible from old software to invest in new hardware and software. 

Cheers!

I don't think they will release their exclusives on PC from day one, though. The games will be made for ps5 first and foremost and will no doubt take full advantage of the new hardware. If they then want to port some of their exclusives to PC years later, I don't see any harm in that.

It would be a different story if they'd go the Series X route, though. MS is releasing all their exclusives on PC day one and are making them so they can also run on mid-range PCs. Sure, they will run in 4k/120fps on Series X, but imo that's why those games lack that next gen wow factor compared to the stuff Sony has shown so far.

You could play Vita games on PS4? How does that work?

So.... if I am reading this right.... If Sony release a game on both PS5 and PC you won't buy it on either platform. You will buy a game if it's a "lifetime exclusive" to either PC or PS5, though.

Hmm.. most people just buy games that interest them on whatever platform... :)

I play the long waiting game on everything but Nintendo games and one or two other titles I can't bear to wait on. With the speed at which Sony titles get to $20, there is no reason to pay full price.

Was gonna make a joke about remote play and that the PS4 was playable on Vita but I couldn't get the wording right. The moment has passed.

I'll just say that enough of the Vita's good games were exclusive to Vita. Uncharted, Killzone, Unit 13, etc. playable on the go. There's a ton of reasons not to buy a Vita but I don't think "I could play the same games on PS4" is one of them. I WISH I could play certain Vita games on a TV but even with a PSTV, I couldn't.

Where's OP gone?

Pretty much every worthwhile Vita game got ported to PS4.

It's called sleep. Posted at 1030pm my time, and went to bed for 8 hours. Like a normal human.

Can you overreact more to the word "exploring"?

Good post my man if i werent on mobile i would upvotr
