    I love the borderlands games. It's the only series that actually does looter shooter right

    I always go for PC. Like Darc said, PC games are usually cheaper on launch and have sales more often. I don't need to pay for a service to play games online so I'm saving money annually. Most PC games will be 60 FPS at minimum and I don't have to worry about preservation as I have access to multiple generations of games within a single platform. 
     
    All I use my PS5 for are console exclusives and games I don't want to play on PC. I will buy the new Prince of Persia game on PS5 because Uplay is trash. Any PC game that requires specific publisher launcher like Uplay, EA App, Rockstar Social Club, etc is a no go for me as they are usually awful.

    PC. Even day one, you typically can get new releases for cheaper than full price. In the past PC ports were very dodgy. Currently bad PC ports are in the minority. I have all my current fighting games, sans MK1, on PC. NRS is the only developer that can't seem to get their shit together on PC. In fact, that holds true for most major 3rd Party games for me.
     
    Depending on the game, mods are a possibility. Long before Mass Effect Legendary Edition, the original PC release of the Mass Effect games, ME3 in particular, were significantly overhauled on PC. Bioware admitted that the PC modding scene inspired Legendary Edition. The mods took a game I despised, and made it damned enjoyable thanks to mods. Vanilla ME Trilogy on PC is far better than Legendary Edition. The amount of extra content is absurd. The stuff the modders are doing with UMvC3 is flat out amazing as well.
     
    If Final Fantasy Rebirth was day 1 on PC. I'd get it over the PS5 version. I hope Stellar Blade is good because outside of that, I have no clue what I'll be getting for my PS5 after Rebirth.  I'm honestly getting tired of 30fps. I have nice 4K/120hz TV that's basically being wasted. With me shifting my fighting games over to PC, I barely played my PS5 last year. I clocked like 140 hours for the whole year and half of that was FF16. I put more hours into SF6 on PC than I did on my PS5 as a whole. Sony is putting more and more of their exclusive games on PC, which is the same thing that lead to me ditching Xbox.

    The game is 6 years old now. They are better off putting in that work for the sequel.

    Well I still really like the game and I think it succeeds in what it tries to do more often then it fails at it, I just think it does kinda fail at it more then I would really like. I do agree I think the point of CC was to flesh out Cloud, Zack, and Sephiroth and they mostly succeed, but like, I would have liked a lot more screen time between Cloud and Zack. They are apparantly best friends but all we really get to see is them bond over being backwoods boys. That's kind of it. Instead of more scenes between these two, we get a ton of scenes between Zack and a Fan Fiction Turk that hasn't been seen or mentioned since. Fucking Kunsel got a shout out in the remake but no word of Cissne or however her name is spelled. And almost everything surrounding Genesis and Hollander is just time that could have been spent on Wutai and shit that matters to world building and long term narrative. 
     
    I don't think CCs story is awful I just think it wastes a lot of time on stuff people don't actually care about, like Genesis and Hollander, or they do a bad job of giving me any reason to care because most of the stuff these new characters do barely makes any sense in the first place. Like Angeals kind of stupid and almost everything he does makes no god damn sense. Hollander is actually plain stupid and over stays his welcome by a lot imo. 
     
    I just think Crisis Core has tons of room for more human stories and interactions and instead we get this messy ass clone story that barely makes sense to the series wider scope with characters who all act fucking weird in order to make this weird clone story work. All we really needed was a story about two war buddies learning they backed the wrong horse. Instead we got this story that makes FF7s already wonky ass science fiction even more wonky and confusing and hard to follow lol. 
     
    The remake to Crisis Core was excellent by the way. The graphical bump is fantastic, they barely changed anything mechanically. It's got more in common with a remaster then a remake honestly. If you liked Crisis Core on PSP you'll love this because it's Crisis Core but on a huge screen, with enough buttons for proper action game play. They got rid of the materia bar and it's now all hot keys and shit. So much faster and smoother. The game play is smoother to, they cleaned up all of Zacks animations so they flow smoothly instead of choppy and chunky like on PSP. 
     
    One mechanical change they did make was to Zacks Buster Sword. You can hold Square for a special attack kinda like Clouds in the Remake when youre in Operator Mode. That's about it for changes tho. It's honestly Crisis Core but with QOL. If you liked CC, you'll like this.

    @DoctaMarioI didn't play Crisis Core to completion until the Remake/Remaster. I always wanted to play through it because, despite hating FFVII, I was intrigued by Zack's character. Who is this guy that Cloud was essentially pretending to be? Cloud's polar opposite. It was fun ride. I tried playing the original via emulator but the gameplay was clunky as hell. They really did a good job rebuilding the game and tightening it's gameplay.
     
    Side note: In a surprise to no one. Stellar Blade is rated M.

    Dude is not wrong but he's also true that we are approaching the 4th year anniversary for this system so saying that it's in the latter stage of its life cycle probably isn't too far fetched if we think of it in terms of "approaching the later half".  I've been seeing some rumors popping up lightly here and there about PS5 pro so I wouldn't be surprised if that does happen in the next couple of years.  It does feel too early to early to say something like this and that's only because like the guy said, people were having a hell of a time trying to find them when it first released.

    Sqeenix Guardians of the Galaxy is what Suicide Squad SHOULDVE been. All they had to do was rip that game off then add a few things, but nooooo, we got some shitty looter shooter combined with a far less fun version of Sunset Overdrive
