"Avowed Hates Men"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtFZvRxIffA
To no one's surprise, the game is nothing but insufferable girl bosses, thinly veiled anti-whiteness, and men who are either evil, corrupt, incompetent, cowardly, or just literally homosexual. It's a repeat of Outer Worlds, which shouldn't come as a shock to anyone because the devs are still the exact same leftist feminist dipshits who treat their game dev jobs as merely another opportunity for rank activism.
Outside of the culture war content, everything else is also terrible. The UI is garbage. The game is full of bugs and jank. The combat looks soft and boring. The game's structure is at least 15 years outdated. The story is beyond cliche. Nothing about this woke turd looks good.
An interesting phenomenon is the "console exclusive" bump we always see from such games. There are people out there praising this game for no other reason than Playstation gamers can't play it (right now). Same shit happened with Starfield, not to mention every Sony exclusive ever. These games always have lower scores and player reviews on PC because PC gamers are not ego-invested the same way that console fanboys have always been.
Or I could just use Duckstation. That thing is practically bulletproof.
But here's the thing: You cannot play a PS1 game on PS5, even with all the dicking around you might want to go after to try and get it run. It will never work. I can do that with PC though. I can even go and boot up and old system to do it if I want to, I've kept a lot of my old PCs over the years. After all, that's the one to one comparison.
Old PCs can play old games. Old Consoles can play old games. Neither can play newer games.
Modern PCs can play modern games. Modern Consoles can play modern games. Modern PCs can play olds games. Modern Consoles can't.
Doesn't matter how much extra effort you have to put in, nothing changes that.
Emulation on certain consoles is bulletproof and for others its garbage. Mix bag but a valid options. PS1 is pretty good, but PS2 is mixed and PS3 can melt your computer on some games. A lot of them need considerable tweaking to make the graphics work or certain things not break if tied to framerate and on and on. And often that knowledge or patching is only available for popular, nostalgia heavy games. Obscure shit is often left to ruin (much to my dismay trying to play some JRPGs on PS3).
Which goes to the point in my other comment, simplicity. Emulation is great, but there is a reason why some consoles have 5+ of them, because they often cannot replicate the console perfectly and at that point you are playing an inferior product on PC. If you don't care about perfection (and I usually don't as long as it works and isn't distracting) its fine, but its a consideration.
Flip side, I can just plug that PS1 in and it works instantly.
Xbox has been on a single minded passion crusade to make everything possible backwards compatible across all its generations. So this isn't a true statement and treating it like an absolute is silly. Nintendo has been lazily but steadily re-releasing most of theirs as well though that is a re-buy situation. Playstation really is the only one putting minimal effort it.
No, but I can buy a PS1-PS4 all for probably 500$ or less if I look around to cover every one of those bases. Heck you can skip the PS1 since PS2 and PS3 can run its games or find the admittedly rare PS3 that can do PS2 games. You can barely find a shitbox PC for 500$, one that couldn't run most modern games made for it.
But I have all of those consoles, since I kept them. And since you consider that a valid reason for superiority I can use it too.
