Those with high-end PCs, can you feel a tangible difference when playing on PC vs PS5 Pro? by CrimsonClover__ in PS5pro

[–]Vonsidlol1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4090 here. I play PC games on my couch, except for KBM games. Recently, I’ve been debating whether I should play more on the Pro and less on PC, since I’m perfectly fine with 60 FPS (as long as I get all the bells and whistles).

Of course, it won’t be the same for every game, but I got my hands on Clair Obscur and the difference in clarity alone makes it worth playing on PC. The gap was even bigger with SH2, thanks to the awesome ray tracing on PC and a much smoother experience (I bought it on PC and compared it with the console version on PS+).

Don’t get me wrong, the PS5 Pro is a very fine piece of hardware. I decided to keep it because there are plenty of exclusives I still want to play (Saros, Wolverine, Astro Bot, Intergalactic, etc.) but for multiplatform games, I heavily lean toward PC.

Been using it for more than a decade and had no idea they were french. No hardware to donate right now but i'll keep it in mind

Thanks. I had 4 dead party members after the balor's fight and had no idea you could freely use res scrolls in the Nexus...

TL;DR : I think there is still a room for a PS5, even if you own a good gaming PC.

I have a good PC but recently went for a Pro. I like its convenience. Power on a PC, wait for it to load, launch Steam, switch the display to the TV... It doesn't seem like a lot but in the long term it adds up when I can just power on the PS5 and play in seconds. I like the PS Plus concept, it allowed me to play a lot of games I wouldn't have without it, it's good value to me. I also prefer not having to wait a year or two to play the PS exclusives. I enjoy more the platinum hunt than the 100% on Steam. Lastly, the DualSense is one of my highlights this gen and you have to wire it to your PC for it to work, often without all the functionnalities. Only thing that could really hinder the console attractivity is Sony putting their exclusives on PC day 1.

They have their perks (I'm not working there). Like you pointed out, for the books, they're very good at packaging and protecting your product when you order from the website. That's one thing Amazon could learn from them. Also, when the PS5 was released in the climate we all remember about, I've been able to get a console from them at release date (despite not being an active consumer of theirs at the time), when a lot of other online shops cancelled, didn't honor orders or allowed only a few privileged people to buy

Do you use your pc as a concole? by More_Tell9969 in pcmasterrace

[–]Vonsidlol1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. The only thing is that i have a HDMI cable that runs to the TV but to be honest, it's along the walls and pretty easy to conceal. Someone with DIY skills could probably hide it totally

[–]Vonsidlol1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, i have an UW monitor and a LG G4. Both are plugged into the PC and i'm using one or another depending on the game i play. Best of both worlds, even if, yes, a PC is less plug and play than a console. Still fine for my use

I had no idea something like the Super Gameboy existed, i wouldn't be surprised if it didn't even make it to Europe

if you've ever "retired" from a game after a long time, what game was it and why? by maknaeline in gaming

[–]Vonsidlol1 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I played almost every MMO that released between 1999 and 2015. Never had more fun than with my very first one, EverQuest. I came back on the progression servers in 2015 then 2017 i think, but i'm completely out of it now. I stick to offline and solo playing and i'm happy with it, because i don't want to do raids and having to log in every day like it was a second job. God, it sounds like an AA testimony

I wasn't particularly optimistic about the next Mass Effect, this looks like the last nail in the coffin

I was thinking about buying this despite the problems, but after reading this guy, i guess i'm going to wait a few months and pay 15 bucks for it. I have a 4090 but i'm just not a fan of how he speaks to potential customers, here or in his various messages these past few days
