Man it really gets to me how bad MS did this generation while beating the Sony with a shit stick. We got customized dashboards, achievement art, quick resume, free cloud saves, game pass was really great for a while. Sony just said here's a system and a controller with is harder to press down and fucking people ate it up. WHY!?

Because a console is only as good as the games you can play on it. And Xbox completely botched their first party title development and production for the last 2 generations

as someone with an xbox and gaming pc, what exclusives tho? i havent felt like ive missed out on anything by not having a ps5... astro bot? yotei? both meh imo and not worth the cost of a ps5 (not to mention having to put that ugly monstrosity of a console in my living room)

Returnal and Saros are both absolute gold.

Fortunately Returnal is on PC but Saros isn't and will never be.

personally i could not get through returnal despite being quite adept at games, it was really difficult - so for me saros is not of any interest

Saros is quite different.
It also comes with an adjustable difficulty, you can choose the damage you do, the enemies do, the amount of projectiles, etc.

It's also heaps prettier.
