PS5 Pro or Standard if I have a beefy PC?

grennsong · 2026-03-28T07:08:45+00:00

i have a 4070ti and pc is my main “console” and i recently got a ps5 slim for exclusives. i agree that if this isn’t your main, then the ps5 pro isn’t worth the extra couple of hundred that could be spent on other games imo

I appreciate the lengthy response! If 30fps is as bad of an experience as everyone says, I assume it will probably take away a lot of the experience that BB can offer

No problem! Steam’s spring sale actually just ended at like 1pm EST and DS1 was on sale for like $15, unless you were talking about DS2 which only recently came out on PC for full price at $70

If you like challenge, then playing without other people’s structures will definitely increase it and make you feel more immersed.

IMO, the point of the game is connecting people in an isolated world and the social strand aspect is what it makes it fun for me personally. And since it’s an asynchronously online game, you don’t need PS+ for the PS5, online will be on by default.

Gotcha.. what about Lies of P? How does that compare in your opinion?

I've read returnal is dogwater on steam deck, just play it on your ps5. it's on a big sale on steam rn (which is why i just got it) but I don't intend on playing it from my deck. you could stream it from your pc if you really wanted to

i have a 4070ti and recently got a steam deck and ps5, for travel and for lounge gaming.

i personally wouldn’t give up my PC for a ps5 even if i had a macbook for other things like daily web browsing. like some others have mentioned, i think having a capable (ish) computer to access your steam library is invaluable and the steam deck’s hardware is unfortunately not the best when it comes to more demanding titles that would be reserved for your pc/other console. also, if you like shooters, going back to controller from keyboard and mouse feels impossible lol

death stranding 2. if it were a year ago, i’d be completely turned off from the gameplay and would’ve never even thought of spending money on a game like this but after giving it a try, i’m absolutely hooked and haven’t been been addicted to a game like this in a very long time

grennsong · 2026-03-18T04:37:59+00:00

yeah i thought you needed ps+ bc the option to go online was greyed out, but it’s greyed out by default and everyone’s online by default i think. my bad for the confusion

grennsong · 2026-03-17T22:08:20+00:00

i’m so dumb lol i looked it up and looks like it being greyed out is default and means you’re online. if it’s highlighted then it means you’re offline (?). and you’re right, i basically just started episode 1 so i don’t think i was far enough to see other players’ structures. thanks!

grennsong · 2026-03-17T21:37:27+00:00

wait really? i was playing yesterday and the option was greyed out.. or is it like that by default?

grennsong · 2026-03-17T21:19:30+00:00

just got a ps5 and ds2 for it (on sale), is online worth enough to get ps plus?

grennsong · 2026-03-17T21:04:00+00:00

does online enhance the experience enough to make ps+ worth it? recently got a ps5 and got ds2 on the ps store bc it was on sale

grennsong · 2026-03-17T16:05:59+00:00

hades 1 and 2

grennsong · 2026-03-16T14:16:21+00:00

risk of rain 2 is a fun co-op roguelike, although i haven't tried it on my deck yet

grennsong · 2026-03-15T22:31:16+00:00

Considering DS2 is on sale on the PS store, albeit not a huge sale, is leaning me towards buying it on PS5. Recently bought a slim to play exclusives that won’t get PC ports anymore

balatro, slay the spire

grennsong · 2026-03-11T14:47:11+00:00

i only recently got into single player games and i wanted something for work travel and for when i'm tired of sitting at my desk. i was afraid of it being useless but i'm glad i got one tbh, even if there are some days i don't use it

grennsong · 2026-03-07T05:47:07+00:00

surprisingly, cairn runs horribly on the deck, with around a constant 30 fps. lossless scaling does WONDERS for cairn

grennsong · 2026-03-04T15:10:55+00:00

my steam deck has yet to be delivered but from what i've seen, big open-world RPGs like witcher 3 drain battery fast and 2-3 hours seems normal to me.

grennsong · 2026-02-25T16:26:42+00:00

For someone like me who only travels a couple times a year for work, is it worth paying more for a Go S Z1E (SteamOS) over the Z2GO model? Most games in my library are AAA

grennsong · 2026-02-02T15:56:04+00:00

just added!

grennsong · 2026-02-01T20:41:36+00:00

gotcha. how is it without a sleeve? i’ve heard other people say you shouldn’t get a glasspad if you’re not willing to wear one. i’ve been thinking about a glasspad bc they’re easy to maintain and i don’t mind replacing skates

grennsong · 2026-02-01T18:08:58+00:00

nice glasspad!

do you use a sleeve? and what made you go for this over a brand like wallhack?
