      Are ps5’s not useful?

      I haven’t bothered with the last generation of consoles, but I haven’t heard anything bad about them.

      But maybe my “haven’t bothered” comment is a common sentiment and the answer to my own question?

        Honestly I don’t really know. I’ve heard the new Pro version isn’t anything most people want.
        I’m just throwing shade for fun.

          It’s not what anyone wants because it offers little more over the base console. Doesn’t mean the base system wasn’t great. I love it, and it was an amazing buy when covid happened and I couldn’t buy PC parts to make my own and even if i could the GPU prices were insane. The only complaint I can make is the controller breaks every year due to stick drift… I have been gaming since the 90s and it’s the first time I have ever seen this issue.

            Get an 8bitdo pro2 controller. They have Xbox, and PS versions and they both can swap between console and PC with a flick of a button. Plus they have back peddles that you can use for L3 and R3 to reduce wear on the sticks.

            I’ve had mine for three years now and it’s never once caused any issues at all.

              That’s exactly what I have for my PC. I finally made one last fall when prices cane down. I love that controller.

              For the PS5 I don’t think there are many options either, and I like the controller a lot, it’s just that they cheaped out on parts and that pisses me off.
