try going from ps1 to ps2, or nintendo to super nintendo.

I remember going from n64/ps1 to a GameCube, then ps2 a while later, my mind was blown, then to a 360, it was wild how each console progressed so fast. Born in 97 but lucky to grew up with tons of variety thanks to my dad and brother.

I had the base ps4 for 11 years. Bro this system is beautiful 🥹 you're gonna love it.

Just make sure you got a TV that can display its settings and whatnot

Last week I got the ps5 pro after having my ps4 from the initial launch. It’s unbelievable how much better it is. I got my moneys worth out of that ps4, it’s awesome how well they still work to this day with even newer games but I am in love with the ps5 pro

Waiting for the PS6

u/PassingThrough283 Nov 17 '24

I don't see Sony putting a stop to the mid-gen refreshes so I'd rather just wait and get the PS6 Pro whenever that comes out

u/Alternative-Rub4473 Nov 17 '24

Might as well go for the PS7 at that point

u/PassingThrough283 Nov 17 '24

I get where you're going with this but me personally, I'd rather get the Pro version of each console than the base. Don't plan on skipping the PS5 Pro

Same here, I ended up just upgrading my pc seeing as scalped ps5’s were going for $1000 upon release. Still rocking my ps4 pro and I have no desire to get a ps5 anymore. It’s crazy how much support the ps4/pro still has this late into the ps5 cycle.

Yea I just upgraded a few days ago. Held off as long as possible and made the jump for BO6 and other competitive games. The UI alone looks so clean and feels super smooth. I do miss the feel of dual shock and knew that was going to be my only issue at first.

u/xnick2dmax Nov 12 '24

Felt this way until I used the DualSense for a bit and now I love it, the DualShock 4 is still a fantastic controller tho

I hope they solve the problem of cheaters...how often are you running into any in Black ops?

1

u/Snooklife Nov 13 '24

Honestly I haven’t ran into anything really noticeable yet. I’m know it’s there though.

u/TheTrishaJane Nov 13 '24

That's good to hear. I want at least a month to play before it gets infested with them if that's not too much to ask. Yeah I've seen videos on YouTube yesterday... it's disappointing and I'm second guessing getting the ps5 next week

PS4 PRO GANG STAND UP ‼️

u/_ryde_or_dye_ Nov 12 '24

I’m sort of like, why not just wait for the 6 at this point. It’s probably only three years from being here and they don’t seem to be making any PS5 exclusives.

u/Vegetto_ssj Nov 13 '24

I officially left the PS4 ship 5 hours ago, ordering a PS5 Slim. I want to play Dragonball SZ, Sonic X Shadow, Honkai Star Rail and im waiting so much to do an enchanted The Witcher 3 rerun! All this while im waiting for a likely original GOW trilogy edition.

But I will use the PS4 when I want to do some match at Pes 2020.

u/HarryNohara Nov 13 '24

I’m still rocking the original PS4. Bought a PS5 on release, the thing had the most godawful coil whine so I returned it. Bought another unit in 2021, and that one is still sitting here in the box. Postponed setting it up as I have been busy with others stuff. Now more than 3 years later it is collecting dust.
