Mac Arrowny 03/13/22 6:20:39 PM #5:	Playing cross-gen/PS4 games better was my main reason. 60FPS for most games is good times, especially with those fast loads. Kinda similar motivation to upgrading a PC. Also the PS4 resells at a great value still (or did when I got my PS5), which I assume won't be the case down the line. Being able to sell your PS4 for more than half what a PS5 costs kinda makes it a no-brainer purchase. There's also the future exclusives factor - if I'm going to buy one for FFXVI eventually, why not get it now and play existing games better in the meantime? --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. <cite>Mac Arrowny posted [p:963418374] in What is th...

PrinceReva 03/13/22 6:35:00 PM #6:	My answer would have to be the elimination of loading times. It sounds nice and kind of second hand to maybe the games, but in reality I don't know that I want to go back to playing any game that makes me wait around for 20-90 seconds between lives/levels/areas etc. It's been absolutely revelatory. --- slips away unnoticed <cite>PrinceReva posted [p:963418793] in What is th...
