I was seriously considering getting a PS5 until I saw the costs of the games + hardware.

That’s all true and it’s never really bothered me because, possible hot take incoming, PS exclusives are pretty milquetoast. I will concede that Sony’s first party studios have honed their ability to make “open world third person action game with crafting and stealth elements” with impressive consistency, but that’s the most common genre of AAA game and IMO Sony isn’t even making the best ones, just accessible and consistently above average ones.

If you want that kind of game you have a zillion options on every platform.

As someone who played and enjoyed most of the PS exclusives, +1 for the take. What games do you think are "the best ones"?

Compared to my previous take this one is ice cold, but Elden Ring and Tears of the Kingdom.

but TotK is just GMod with Zelda models, and poorly written furry fanfic. Some great elements there, but nothing special, and I'd say it fits in your 'above average open world games'

So hot that it feels like I'm playing a totally different game than reviewers

Zelda is definitely a pretty mid tier open world game, both botw and tolk but it gets a pass cause it's Zelda. And it's pretty fun as well in terms of abilities and combat

I love spending half of combat searching through menus...
