The PS5 itself barely has a reason to exist since most games are STILL cross-gen. If I hadn't skipped the PS4 generation my PS5 would have been a huge waste of money

I almost skipped the PS4 generation but got a PS4 Pro. As a result I had a huge catalogue of PS4 games to play and all at a decent price as they had been out for a while.

I was so impressed with the PS4 I purchased the PS5. Honestly the best thing about the PS5 is Astros Playground. Outside of that I'm just playing a remastered or patched PS4 game. The PS5 has been bitterly disappointing.

I'm on my new game+ playthrough of Spider-Man 2 and that game does a fantastic job of showing off what the PS5 can do. Even on my shitty tcl TV. Only game besides the playground that I've tried that does, though.

Did you play Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart? It really felt like they made that game to show off how smooth transitions can be on the PS5.

I'm enjoying rift apart! I just want to be able to play my old PS2 discs though haha

You still can. It doesn't take much these days to run PS2 Graphics.

Your average PC could do it.

Oh I do! Love pcsx2, just annoying that I need to either run a cable to my TV or use moonlight when I've already got a PS5 that could easily run it under emulation as well.

I did! Forgot about that one but you're right it did, and I really enjoyed it too
