Should i buy a PS4?
>>
>>719441594
Sell it for a PS3
>>
Why not a PS5?
>>
Buy three
>>
All PS4 games can be played on PC/Steam Deck.
>>
>>719441751
Bullshit.
>>
>>719441594
just buy a modded ps2
>>
>>719441751
not yet, no
>>
>>719441823
Steam Deck can run Wuthering Waves but not PS4. It says a lot.
>>
do you care about the 2 games that you can't emulate?
>>
>>719441751
Not an $80 PC, which is what a PS4 costs nowadays.
>>
>>719442309
You can do way more on a PC. PS4 is very limited it can't even play PS1 discs natively like PS2.
>>
>>719442501
You know what a PC can't do? Play all the PS4 games.
>>
>>719441594
PS4 has some great games like Darius Cosmic Collection, Contra Collection, Mega Man Collection, but the problem is the dpad fucking sucks. If you're actually wanting one to buy games made in the last 10 years or newer then you're a retarded faggot and can fucking eat shit, but if you're smart like me and like buying old game collections all that really matters is 'who can make a working dpad' and the answer is no one, we've lost the technology so I'll continue to play Darius on my Saturn

>You can do way more on a PC
Your smartphone can do everything a PC + more.
So why even buy a PC in the first place?
>>
>>719441594
If you really wanna subject yourself to modern games go for it. You can mod them easily and play 99% of the lilbrary for free.
>>719442629
Darius, Contra and Megaman can all be emulated on literally any other device.
>>
>>719441594
Outside of a handful of exceptions, the ps5 runs virtually every ps4 game better than the ps4 itself.

Ps5 has infinitely worse UI and such, and it also removes the ability to easily put save game files on a usb drive, and it's a lot more expensive than a ps4.
>>
>>719444276
Not OP but I've considered getting a used PS5 to play an upcoming game since I can't afford to build a powerful PC
should i wait longer until PS5 gets cheaper?
>>
>>719446016
Your question should be 'is the dpad good?' because otherwise you have a machine that can't play games well no matter the other hardware. I've never touched a ps5 but I can almost guarantee you the dpad is dogshit and you'd therefore have an expensive ugly brick
>>
>>719441594
Depends, if you pay attention to the firmware when buying you can hack it and then it's more than worth the $70 or so that it costs. If you just want to play Bloodborne then you can emulate it on PC now.
Don't buy a PS5, they're too expensive for what they're worth and they are a ticking time bomb due to a design flaw in the cooling, literally YLOD 2.0 At least it's fixable even by a layman but still a pain in the ass.
>>
>>719447785
How do you fix it? My buddy has an early PS5 that randomly shuts down even while playing weak shit like fortnite
>>
>>719447462
retard
>>
>>719447920
That's the symptom, the PS5 overheats, you need to replace the liquid metal and it will be as good as new

Look for youtube tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NtD3qUdZH0

>>719443523
for vidya the only reason Is free games through piracy
>>
>>719448045
why they didn't use phase change thermal pads?
>>
>>719441594
Buy a PS vita tv
>>
>>719448225
im white
>>
>>719450262
Then you should have more uses for a PC other than bideogames
>>
>>719450948
PCs are strictly for productivity, spreadsheeting and research, and Consoles are for gaming
>>
>>719441594
If you can get it for real cheap then Id say yeah go for it. The fact that this shit is still getting solid support this far into the PS5's life is fucking insane. I bought a used one a couple of years back thinking I can just coast off on getting digital games but having games still get launched on it is nice.
