Give us your BRTUALLY honest #Zelda opinions. *ahem* Tears of the Kingdom shouldn't cost $69.99.
Zelda Ocarina of Time on n64 start up
This generation of PlayStation has been one of the worst in gaming history, and I'll tell you exactly why. Sony has released almost nothing that actually justifies upgrading to a new console — Spider-Man 2 being the one exception. Most people are still playing online games that run perfectly fine on last-gen hardware. If it weren't for that, nobody would have a reason to buy the PS5 at all. Then there's PS Plus — overpriced, underwhelming, and shoved down your throat just to play online. You can't even touch multiplayer without paying them first. A friend of mine couldn't play Split Fiction with me because he didn't have a PS Plus subscription, even though I already owned the game. Think about that. Who actually owns the console here — you or Sony? And the hardware situation is embarrassing. Someone jailbroke a PS5, threw Linux on it, and got performance nearly identical to the PS5 Pro. That tells you everything. The gap between the PS5 and the PS5 Pro is mostly software and AI upscaling tricks — not real hardware. Sony is artificially holding back performance and charging you $1,000 for a console that'll be obsolete in a year or two. And the controller? The DualSense is one of the most expensive controllers on the market and still ships with bad joystick components that wear out constantly. I personally know someone who's bought four of them. This is exactly why switching to PC isn't a luxury — it's a necessity. On PC, you own your games. You play on your terms. No subscriptions, no paywalls, no artificial locks. You want ray tracing? Turn it on. You want higher frames over better visuals? Your call. You want to play a game from 2003 next to a game from 2025? Go ahead. No compatibility issues. No company deciding what you're allowed to run or when. On PC, you don't need an Xbox AND a PlayStation. You don't split your money across multiple subscriptions that give you nothing back. You know exactly where every dollar goes. And speaking of where your money goes — when you buy PlayStation, you're funding a company that has spent this entire generation actively disrespecting its audience. Muscular female leads shoehorned into male-built worlds. Weak, hollow male characters. Beloved IPs gutted to push an agenda. Ghost of Tsushima. The Last of Us Part II — a game that could've been a masterpiece, thrown away to serve an ideology. Sony took "For the Players" as a slogan and spent years doing the exact opposite. I'm done with it. Sony doesn't deserve your money, your time, or your loyalty. The door to PC is open — walk through it.
