Ps5 has been absolutely shit. Even their own flagship games have been cross gen.

If you bought a pro ps5 you would have a shit catalogue to play still.

    I mean, spider-man 2 and FF7 Rebirth haven't been bad. No ps4 versions either.

    2 games to be fair, I know there are exclusives but they are few and far between.

    Yea I feel the lag of PS4 has definetly dragged on way too long. They say devs make more money when theybsell on the larger install base but they also prevent the install base of ps5 from growing by selling to the ps4 base as well. You want the new game woth all the new graphics? Get the new console.

    Instead game features must cater to the lowest hardware denominator.

    Yeah they could have locked God of War Ragnarok to ps5. Pushed it to be a showpiece for what the console is capable of. Same with Forbidden West. They could have even put ps5 only exclusive additions to games like GTAV did with first person view.

    Really disappointing console, probably the last I will buy.

    What does the game selection have to do with the console itself though? Whether the selection of games is good or bad, the hardware is still hands down better. For quite a long time, the games available for PS4/XBOne were cross platform. This time around we had COVID and supply shortages to contend with, along with consolidation in game studios, which is why they've stuck around longer.

    Like everything? It is what all that hardware is for, if it isnt giving me anything new then what is the point? The hardware improvements are marginal and not all that special in terms of a unique selling point.

    And the conditions only explain the situation not excuse it, this generation is boring and did not progress the industry much. I think it is across all consoles, there was nothing special other than minor graphical improvements.

    The industry also shat out remakes and remasters instead of new content.
