- Value for money / quality / interactivity / a whole lot more. First of all, we must be aware that gaming is now an expensive pleasure, even on a PC, even on consoles. Buying a PS4 for 25k and whining that games cost 4-5k is just as stupid as whining that a normal PC costs 70-80k, not to mention builds on top-end hardware. I had the opportunity to sell an old computer and buy a much more modern one, but I decided to see what it was like on the other side of the barricades, and I did not lose. Cardinal changes in the perception of the gameplay, more difficult aiming on the stick, a kind of challenge have borne fruit in the form of a bunch of pleasant minutes. I decided to give up on graphics to get access to a bunch of games that I had missed over the years, and this also did not fail. If you have reached the point where graphics are less important to you than gameplay, atmosphere, story - feel free to take the PS4. If the graphics are very important for you (and I understand such people perfectly and respect their point of view) - this will be a mistake. By the way, the PRO-framework will also not give such a picture as even the average (by the standards of 2022) assembly on the GTX 1070. Personally, I have a "threshold" picture quality, above which I am already OK. PS4 perfectly passes this threshold, everything suits me. Age, probably. I'm in my 30s for that matter :))
- Exclusives. Although in 2022 there are not very many announced. But if you're switching to console now, you're in luck. Even Uncharted 2, where the graphics are already old, I really liked, although there is no replayability there. The Last Of Us - generally top. Well, further down the list. It's fair to say that this is one of the main points that keeps the PS4 viable for such a long time. But this does not negate the fact that they can and, moreover, should be played.
- Added February 6th: PLEX! No SMART TV, no rotten online cinemas like OKKO TV, MEGOGO become absolutely (!) unnecessary after setting up the PLEX media server. Settings for 10 minutes, joy for months.
