Is the ps5 worth going through the hassle to source?

Or should i just buy the new Xbox?

The answer is, build a PC.

God of war is ps exclusive, never seen it on Xbox. Reverse for Forza, Forza Horizon coming on day one Gamepass for free next month. Both might be on pc I don’t know.

So there’s something to consider.

Yeah i know they've always been exclusive, thats why I'm struggling to pick between the two.

And I can't stand pc gaming. Takes up too much room and the simplicity of console gaming is great for me.

Been there and done that. I dont have the room for a pc anymore

You make a good point...

I built mine for $1500 but there was a bunch of shit I added that was unnecessary and as it was my first one, I made some inefficient errors. I reckon you could do something half decent for $1k

 

[UmoGus]

That's not too bad. My last build was about $4000 10 or so years ago

3300

FMD, that’s why I gave up PC gaming decades ago.

$3300 and you’ll spend more upgrading the thing over the next half decade or so.

Console less than $700 and they’ll be cheaper next year.

Without gaming, my last PC lasted 15 years, current laptop’s a throwaway. Mightn’t even get one next time dependant on what tablets can and can’t do. As it is I use the tablet 90% of the time.

I haven't really looked into it that much but I know i'd constantly strive to have the best hardware and it would turn into a massive money pit, not to mention of the extra random games I'd spend time playing.

Console is simple, plug and play and that's for a few years. I did already send thousands this gen because I bought a new TV to go with it and a few more games than usual (playing more single player now) so maybe I'm not coming out that much better in the end lol.

I'm pretty sure it's now illegal to build a PC without lots of flashy RGB lights.

@Hacky McAxe is deathloop playable on PC yet?

Yeah. They released a few hot fixes that fixed pretty much everything. Apparently there's still some people having issues but they'll have another patch out soon.

Have you killed any of the visionaries? I thought they might be challenging to kill, but na, headshot does the job lol.

Nah, not yet. But I think the real challenge isn't killing them. It's figuring out how to kill them all in one day.

The game kind of guides you through it, more than I had hoped.

 

[MatstaDogg]

It might just be me but I don't think Deathloop is actually a good game, far from it.

I love it, the combat is fun but there really isn't enough while it isn't challenging. You can clear an entire map in a few minutes.

As I said, in my opinion I think it isn't that good and was over hyped. If you're enjoying it hey, that's all that matters man. It just doesn't do anything for me.
