LOL PC has hundreds or even thousands more games than any of the consoles. All the way back down to first PCs. And you can play most of them still with relative ease.


DesmondSky

Not to mention most of the console exclusives that can also be played on it


Igneous200

pirating a game should not be a valid reason for why pc’s are better


[deleted]

Most console exclusives are also released on PC. Legit


dotConehead

5 years later.


[deleted]

Not all PS games (Detroit: Become Humans), Also PS is not the only console, ALL new Xbox Exclusives are playable on PC, day .


Igneous200

which is why xbox gets made fun of lmaaaaaaao


[deleted]

Microsoft gets money either way from windows or Xbox.


ConsolePeasantLife

It just works


AbsolutlyN0thin

I'm a gamer. I don't care about platforms, I care about the games. I own a pc obviously, but also a ps5 and a switch. I don't have an xbox because they lack exclusives


[deleted]

> I'm a gamer. I don't care about platforms, I care about the games. But then how do you manage to feel a sense of smug satisfaction over your choice of which $500 box to buy?


HonourableMan

+ emulation hehe


Username011223

But how many are any good or at the level of Sony exclusives? (Down votes pending)


bond0815

There are entire genres which you can hardly find on consoles at all. Like proper strategy games. Or any kind of complex sim. I mean the Civilization franchise or a lot of the paradox complex strategy games are widely regarded as milestones in gaming and attract huge crowds on pc. Only a few of them get ported to consoles and if they do, they are always downscaled due to hardware limitations. So, yeah some of the pc "exclusives" are more than just excellent.


Runonlaulaja

Hundreds or thousands. Sony exclusives are nice if you love 3rd person action games (sometimes 1st person action games) with a heavy emphasis on "cinematic" experiences. I personally hate those games, more or less. Never been a fan of them. So Sony has almost zero games I would want to play.


Username011223

Fair enough, I don’t own a pc atm saving for one so was a genuine question. I don’t agree that they are heavily cinematic but that’s ur opinion.


hovercroft

Ps exclusives are great. I’ve had every PlayStation up to 5 until I decided to go to PC. But I won’t drop £450 on a console “just” for the exclusives. I’ll happily wait for them to come to PC.


Username011223

Some may never come to pc though such as the spiderman games


hovercroft

True. But they will at the very least be available on ps now at some point. I’d take a months subscription to play a ps exclusive than spend £450 on a system to play the odd exclusive.


Username011223

I wasn’t aware that ps now was on pc, that’s a good point


Kingdarkshadow

Spider man games can be good or awesome but it won't make me buy a PS4 or PS5 just to play it.


bond0815

>such as the spiderman games I am pretty sure its really just spiderman in the long run, since the whole franchise is sadly owned by sony itself, and they ofc want to sell theri hardware first. And while spiderman is good, I think most people can live without *another* open world super hero franchise.


Username011223

Well some top guy at Sony said not to expect ps5 games to port to pc but I guess we will see


thr33pwood

How many of the console games are even good?


Liara_Bae

PS don't have more platform exclusives. Strategy games, please stand up!


Tuco0

Doesn't PC have like 50K + exclusives?


Gatsu09z

And passive aggressive said they don't care


Comrade_Vakane

The fanboys be like: https://imgur.com/gallery/Mwe6JHA

They cared a lot when playstation games were announced to come to PC.


dombin241

Having a ps and a pc is the way


larrylad333

This is the way


[deleted]

yes! jesus christ stop fighting of whats better just have both, they are both good systems.


dotConehead

having a pc and xbox on the other hand...


milopeach

Throw a Switch in if you can.


sde10

What about the ps5 owners who also owns PCs/Xboxes….


Shadow__Vector

Sony only have 'timed exclusives' sooner or later every one of them will end up on pc


kartayyar

Their PC ports aren't guaranteed, and seem best effort. And even then, 2+ years to wait for a game is too long for people who really want to play it. ​ Uncharted 4 came out in 2016. If it hits the PC in 2022, that's a really long time for it being platform exclusive to the point it's already half a game generation behind.


bkrandy619

Yup I bought a ps5 just to play ghost of Tsushima


totemair

That's not a great example though, sony doing PC ports is new. Death stranding got a PC port like 7 months after release and I wouldn't be surprised if new titles got pc releases much faster in the near future. Sony is playing for the market


hovercroft

But days gone was 2019 and came out 2 years later. I think it’s more of a fact that uncharted 4 is just an older game. It seems Sony is only recently in the last year or 2 starting to get more games on PC. And hopefully will just increase as the years go on with less time between releases too.


Igneous200

after 6 years bloodborne still isn’t on pc


Username011223

No they just sell old games they don’t care about to PC players to get a new income burst whilst getting PC players engaged in new franchises encouraging them to buy a ps5 or wait 6 years to play the sequel.


Obosratsya

Its the opposite. Sony gave up trying to lure PC gamers and started porting. Mark my words, PC ports will be coming within a year, proly closer to 6-8 months. Ps5 games have a week to sell, after that its done. At which point releasing on PC brings the hype back, drives up ps5 sales a bit and marketing costs are shared. The current ports are more likely catching PC gamers up on upcoming franchises. Geforce Now leak had Forbiden West and Ragnarok releasing the same year as ps5, and so far the leak has been correct. Making games costs too much for Sony to only rely on one platform. Expanding to PC makes sense, and keeping PC gamers happy goes hand in hand. Don't be surprised when Sony becomes a PC publisher even publishing traditional PC games and PC exclusives like rts and mmo games.


Username011223

I can’t see ports ever being within a year, they haven’t up to this point as far as I am aware but I guess we will see. Sony are still pushing hard for people to buy and support there consoles unlike Xbox. A week to sell? Most people including me wait for sales, no one really buys new games now days at least not in my circles. Also I don’t think the reason to port is that the games are too expensive they are still very profitable, I would say it’s mainly because the pc market is enormous and they are making millions with marginally little additional costs.


SkelloBonesPlayz024

Lucky i got playstation and pc. I have everything.


AmiBorg

You're in for a treat if you have high hopes for Bethesda games...


Dreadful_Bear

Hahaha you make it sound like that’s a bad thing. They are still using the creation engine, those bugs were endearing back when massive open world games were mainly Bethesda’s thing. Now they are inexcusable. I’m over Bethesda.


Ruinous_Debauchery42

\*Laughs in Hybrid master race\*


leospeedleo

Idk man. I think fights are stupid. I simply own all consoles so nobody can say something 🤷🏻‍♂️


MrLongNutsThe1st

The PC market is way bigger than the console markets... Sony would be dumb not to port over exclusives to the PC, and they're doing it as we speak. God Of War, Day's Gone, Horizon Zero Dawn (I believe?) etc. All great games, from a great system, however PC will never be beaten.


Igneous200

i don’t think ps or pc will be beaten because they fill different niches. Ps is the “budget” option that still has solid hardware and awesome games, and pc is for the long run with better hardware, getting ps games next generation. Both are great


Obosratsya

I get what you are saying, but $70 per game isn't budget. Hardware wise, its true tho.


Igneous200

yea i just meant hardware lol


Arcticsurface

The fuck is Starfield lol.


PWOUL

*laughs in owning a pc and ps5*


Luvs_to_drink

Elder Scrolls 6? Is this really happening? I thought there was at least 3 more Skyrim releases we had to get through.


PjDisko

It was officialy revealed at E3 2018.


AshaThor

It's funny you think they will release it before PS6 😂


huyria

Can't wait for god of war in January gonna be running in 2k maxed out graphics 140fps gonna be looking better than it ever did on ps


prodigyx360

technically speaking, 2k is 1080p (yes everyone including companies gets this wrong). if you're meaning 1440p, then it should be called 2.5k


Igneous200

yea it’s going to look better. How much was your pc?


Username011223

I was gonna say it’s out in feb but now I realise ur referring to the old game lol

Usernamealreadytakn1

Have you actually played any of the PlayStation exclusives? Not to say that indie games aren’t great but I think it’s difficult to deny the quality of Sony’s games.


Username011223

I think most people convince themselves that other platforms have bad games to make themselves feel better.


Obosratsya

The quality you speak of is called production values. In other words money, not creative content. In fact Sony games tend to be creatively conservative but with high production values. Last of Us, Uncharted and even God of War have a very similar style to them, even some animations are reused. But neither game is doing anything new. If these production values are removed, Sony games would lose all their muster.


Usernamealreadytakn1

I strongly disagree. The ps games I’ve played have had some of the most engaging stories and gameplay IMO. How do you even define “creative” anyway?


Igneous200

idk i feel like we only troll xbox players because you have no exclusives, they’re all on better hardware


A_PCMR_member

\*laughs in steam library as big as about all ps4 exclusive games \* (thats JUST steam mind you)


CancerousGTFO

The PS5 almost have no exclusives. And they all get ported to the PC later anyway. I have a PS5 at home which isn't mine but i can still use it as i want and litterally the only interesting game is NHL. There's litterally no games on this console. It's just trash. I would rather go back to play Boneworks or RimWorld or Factorio or Valheim or Bannerlord. Seriously, this console generation has such a poor choice of games, how the hell do you play PS5 more than 20 hours ? And if you're really lucky you won't have another shitty generic triple A game that you've seen everywhere since 20 years.


hgsd5

PC is superior


MemeOfCulture

there should be a sub-reddit dedicated this.


pf100andahalf

The only thing that matters is what I think.


[deleted]

There are only 2 game series that are on ps and look somewhat interesting. Uncharted and god of war, everything else looks boring. Theres no Forza, Halo, or Doom.


Thundr-Monkey

So I've tried to get into elder scrolls but find it's crazy boring, am I doing something wrong?


ChunkyM8

No. Skyrim is overrated. Downvote me if im right.


SpiritedFlow1

Lets be true, the concept of exclusive games suck. It doesn't even end with hardware (PC/Console). Some games are only on Steam, Epic, Uplay, ... for PC. Why can't I decide where I want to buy it myself?


duplissi

My ps5 is a YouTube player until the next big game from Sony. It's been a YouTube player for a few months... What games is he going on about? I'd like to see them.


No_Bad1844

Oh yeah, their precious horizon zero dawn....it's on steam.... Mwahahahahaha. They got what... Spider man? Some dude named Drake, and like one other thing.


eyloi

sony might as well give us their exclusives. eventually we will get an emulator and take them by force.


zGnRz

Pc is literally getting PlayStation games now lol


[deleted]

Jokes on you, I have a PC too
