So you want a PS5, huh? Well, PlayStation boss Jim Ryan delivered some fantastic news at CES 2023. #GamingNews #PS5 #PlayStationThe PS5 launched in November ...
Nevermind the fact that emulation has caught up to the Switch, and honestly any game that’s come out on any next gen console has probably had a multiplatform release anyway so… 🤷🏿♂️
I can only wonder with the gaming industry eating itself due to capitalism and a lack of a real reason to buy consoles what will happen to the state of things in the upcoming years. It’s like the golden era has long since passed and everything is starting to stagnate
And chalk up another reason why PC gaming is just better; I know that consoles are usually cheaper overall but their shelf life is extremely short I’m comparison to PCs, all I have to do is upgrade parts instead of buying a whole ass new PC
I wanted a PS5 when it came out but considering I play on my PC with a PS5 controller anyway there’s not much of a difference lol
Do you need a high spec PC to okay games? Or is that just for the latest titles?
People here keep talking about these games where you can build/plan/manage a socialist country. Sounds a bit like Civilization VI or Masters of Orion. One might be called Victoria? But I don’t think I have a device that will play such games and wouldn’t know where to start with a PC (and wouldn’t want to spend loads on one).
I built a gaming PC once. That was around the time that Elder Scrolls Morrowind and Final Fantasy XI were recent-ish.
You don’t necessarily need a high end PC to play games if you’re just a casual player, I think most people who get high end PCs either just have the money to do so or they’re a competitive player
Civ 5 and 6 both have options for communism, tho Civ 5 calls it “Order” lol
You could always buy a prebuilt PC and replace the parts as needed, that’s basically what I did. It also helps to know what you’re going to be using the PC for. Since I play games and also make music I needed a good processor and graphics card, but also needing to balance how much it costs. So tl;dr it’s about what you need and can afford
That’s handy to know. I might keep an eye out next time there’s some kind of sale. I’m not in a rush to buy a machine, but I do enjoy older games. I never got round to playing Starcraft II, so that would be top of my list along with Hearts of Iron and Victoria (if I have the names right) as they seem to be highly rated.

Pretty sure they’re also getting closer and closer to doing emulation for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S games as well.
Next year, it may not matter much.

I feel that the games are at least at top quality, despite the business practices.
Not to mention that if the PS5 is anything like the 3 or 4, the PS5 games coming out now won’t work properly till they’re ‘upscaled’ to the PS6.
