Soooooo... After years of being a lurker and months after I decided to make an a account.
I took the decision of making my first post here and I have decided to make it in truly PlayStation OT fashion, with doom and gloom. Having said that. Here. I. Come.
I absolutely hate the fact that God of War is headed to PC I actually do see it as a devaluation on the brand since every 4 years and now probably sooner since the old GForce leak now seems so real. That means that Returnal (my GOTY) a game released this year is probably going to see a new store by 2022 or 2023 with a lower price (most probably) and better everything (the one thing that stings the most). Nobody expects Nintendo games on PC but the entitlement for Sony's games is there and it shows if we look at different subreddits or game forums. Now Bloodborne and Ghost are not only expected but also HFW and GT7 which is just awful and mind-blowing.
At this point am truly considering reselling my perfect (because I treat my consoles like if they were my future kids all my PS consoles are in mint condition with the exception of my vita that has a dent on one side, I was like 13 and I'm still mad about that one lol) PS5 (that does not have a loud disc reader, fan noise or coil whine, rest problems etc.) at a hiked up price that's for sure, since now it seems that a lot if not all future PS5 and current PS4 games are going to see the PC steam treatment and like I said again running all better than the consoles that they were meant to be on, which makes me feel not bad or angry because I did not pledge allegiance to Sony Corp even if it looked like it after all those years that I mocked my friends for having an stinky XBOX or a dumb Nintendo (I was young and I've always been this funny lol) but bittersweet.
The thing is... That I just know I'm not gonna do that because the Sony/PS is my childhood, the memories of my dad bonding with his daughter through videogames, that he let me enter the world that have always seemed like a boys club, that he and me mom bought me almost every game (when there was money of course) that I asked for, that I grew up loving so many iconic franchises of PS, I still remember begging for the CE of GoW 3 coming home to put the disc on the damn huge brick that breathed like a dragon, and watching in awe those graphics and finishing what I thought was going to be the end of an amazing story (we don't talk about ascension in this house lol)
As someone who grew up with an old PS1 (since my dad did not had lots of money on those times to buy me a PS2) but man when the PS3 released I vividly remember that was the only thing that I asked for months and I got it. I must've been 15 when I stiffed my parents again with a PS4. And last year I got my first job while still on uni to get a PS5 by myself and I goddamn did it less than a month after officially coming out since I did not have the money for the first batch. The bittersweet-ness comes just from knowing the PC players are going to get everything better with lower price even the new games. That my childhood is probably going to end by the next generation (you see the doom and gloom, I´m good like that). I feel like what I did to my parents in 2013 is coming back this time from lord Sony while baby Ryan and handsome Hulst laugh at my sorry ass.
The only good thought that I can come up to cope out, it's that there may be a little girl out there with a bigger than life father that it's going to teach her the amazing games that PS has (running better that on the consoles. FUUUUUUUUUUU.gif).
But then the little lass is going to ask for a PS5 to play GoW:R when it comes out and PS strikes again.
