"Switch has just the right mount of power, doesn't hurt my eyes with graphics like other consoles"
i've played a good amount of ps4 games on ps5 and a few ps5 games and enjoy it. i'll get ratchet & clank next and resident evil viii eventually. really not a bad first year compared basically every other sony console. also since switch doesn't have a lot of video apps, it's my go-to choice for netflix and hbo max and the like.
damn, all platforms need this.
like, i'm not going to jump in from one 50 hour rpg into the next, but i play ring fit adventure daily and it would be nice to just quickly swap over to little nightmares ii or fez or something and not have to have one or the other.

Look, I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but I think your message needs some refining.
Essentially your post comes down to that you liked your PS4 but only played one game. But now you love the PS5 because you can play PS4 games through BC. Plus activity cards and the dualsense.

There will be plenty of time this year, if they launch the Switch Pro. :lol
ignoring words like BC, Dualsense, Activity cards because they are functions/things that come with the console, and we usually write that way, we have 5 letters:
O
I
J
F
N
What does it mean?

Yes because PS4 had no BC so you had to play PS4 games which were really rare at the beginning of the Gen. Now i can play PS5 and PS4 games that i missed. Since i didn't own a PRO, i also have the ability to play these PS4 games with better FPS or resolution.
It's hilarious really and transparent about what's going on here.
Otherwise I can't agree. The UI is still garbage compared to the PS4 one, my Dualsense trigger died after 2 weeks of Warframe, and the 10$ cost increase for games is not something I will celebrate.
But good for you, and enjoy !
I hear you, and I believe you genuinely love it! I'd just encourage you to maybe express some more of those things in your OP to avoid drive-bys that are going to say this is a reaction post. Enjoy your console!
Loving a console is basically loving the games you play on it. That's why people mostly prefer PlayStation (according to worldwide sales at least), because of the games that run on it. Not the plastic box itself. Features are a plus and they're great, but games are what matters.
Returnal / Demon's Souls / Miles Morales, soon Ratchet vs... not much on Xbox (The Medium ?). Xbox does BC well though, but that's not what people buy a new game console for. They buy it for new games. And mostly new exclusives, since multiplatform games are the same.

I'm glad you are happy with your purchase.
My main sticking points right now are the 80 euro price tag for games and the absolutely horrendous interface. PS5 isn't anywhere near the best console in its current state.

This thread reads like a response to that thread. That's what makes it seem weird. Seeing the OP in a lot of threads defending the Playstation it just seems like he's triggered whenever someone says something positive about Xbox.
The PS5 is great no doubt but he didn't list anything about it other than the PS+ collection and PS4 BC. Oh, the DualSense is great and Activity cards. There's no real thought put into the OP.
I think this feature can be really appealing to people who play online/multi-player games with friends. It's a nice feature to have.
But, I do the same as you. I play single player games most of time (and one at time as well), I probably will never use this feature lol

The PS4 was my favourite system and it's been incredible and overwhelming coming from a base PS4 to PS5 with my entire library and many of them playing significantly better than before and thankfully without the loud fans in the process. I haven't even had a chance to play much of PSVR on it but I hear many games have notable performance differences on it as well.
I love the Dual Sense far more than I thought I would on PS5 native games and the cards on Miles Morales and tips videos on Sackboy were a real game changer for cutting out tedium in those kinds of games.
Overall I've never felt more impressed with a system in its first year, the only downside is I have such a big PS4 backlog that the €80 price on new PS5 games is going to be a deterrent from getting too many.

Probably my biggest beef with PS5 currently. Some stuff that changed from the PS4 just feels like change for the sake of change and is now counterintuitive on PS5. Plus the way the system handles media files is laughable in 2021.
It could be a combination of a couple of things, but I'm playing way more games since I got my PS5 too. For the first time I'm on track to not only complete my 52 games challenge, but also exceed that number by quite a bit.
The only other console I got at launch was the Switch, and although I was happily preoccupied with BotW for like 3 months, there wasn't that much else to play for a while. Haven't had that issue with the PS5, and yeah backwards compatibility does help. I upgraded from an OG PS4 though so the difference in power is quite stark.

Always been a big fan of Sony. PS2 is still my favorite. It was such a beast. Too many good titles to list.
Eh...it's a video game forum. Where else to post "I ❤ [platform]" threads?

Single player/story games is LITERALLY where the feature excels, if you're playing an online game and suspend you're probably going to need to sign back in when you resume.
Suspend/resume 5 story games and you will be able to jump back right in where you left.
I understand what your saying about playing one game at a time, some people play multiple games and that's where it comes in handy.
That seems like four things he likes.
The other thread lists four things he likes about his system too:
Build quality
Digital assistant
Quick resume
Controller battery life
Not a problem for either thread imo. But this one seems to generate more negative responses.

The console wars posts are here.
Doesn't help that this thread reads like a reaction thread to the Xbox thread and is made seemingly to bait people.
I also actually prefer to play in 720p handheld mode at home instead of on the big screen. No, I have never brought it with me ever.
I just hope I'll be as happy as OP when I finally get a PS5. As I hope for everyone that gets a console of their choosing. It's nice having fun when you bought the right thing.
It has a few great games so far and I'm very excited for what's to come on that front but dualsense aside because I like it a lot, the ps5 has been a very underwhelming experience from a platform and hardware perspective.
It's been collecting dust for like 2 or 3 months now.

Bit early to call but hey, as someone who has played a lot of Hitman on PS4 and is now playing a lot of it on PS5, those load times sure are fast. Haven't been interested in any of the exclusives, at least not at current prices anyway. Astrobot was OK I guess.
Same OP.
Love it and I especially love all the free upgraded games I could replay on the PS5. It was awesome going back to some of my favorite games of last gen, like Control and No Man's Sky.
saying you're happy with a purchase you've made =/= being a shill

4 things listed that had no thought put into them. Just 4 features of the console. At least the other thread OP explains what is great about those things he listed.
Like Garrett 2U said. He should have took the time to refine his post. Then it wouldn't have seemed so reactive.
Loving mine too!
Just ignore all the viscious drive-by posts. PS5 praise doesn't sit well for some people.

Video games are cool. Glad the PS5 is ticking your boxes. I'd just like to say I'm looking forward to the content coming out of this thread and the other in question.
I'm not above it

I wonder who's the most triggered here lol. Is it OP, or the people posting about the Xbox thread? I'm not sure!
Either way.. the PS5 is cool, but it lacks basic features and the OS is straight up a downgrade from PS4. Also, I've had to return my console twice due to coil whine, but I'm getting a replacement unit next week so we'll see how that fares.
My favourite thing about the PS5 is probably the controller tbh. Those haptics are a game changer.

This absolutely reads like an add.
The system and games have been alright, thus far I consider the system a PS4 Pro Pro. 95% of games I've played have been PS4 games.
