My Gaming Journey: From PC and PS4 to PS5 and Reflections

As I sit here with my gaming desktop and PS5, I can't help but reflect on my gaming journey over the past year or so. It's been a wild ride, filled with excitement, frustration, and self-reflection. In this article, I'll share my experiences, thoughts, and lessons learned as I navigated the world of gaming.

I remember when I first bought my PC and PS5, I was eager to dive into the world of gaming. But then FOMO (fear of missing out) started to creep in, making me question whether I needed these new consoles or if they were just a passing fad. To combat this, I set some rules for myself: not buying games that I wouldn't play immediately, sticking to genres that interest me, and only purchasing CoDs from Treyarch.

Despite having a gaming desktop and PS5, I still find myself playing most of my games on my old PS4 and laptop with RTX 3050. But why? For starters, the resolution, loading times, and frame rate all improved significantly with the new consoles. The faster loading times in particular made a huge difference for me.

I recently tried to play RE2 on my PS4, but after watching the PS5 update, I just couldn't bring myself to finish it. Meanwhile, I still enjoy playing God of War on my gaming PC, marveling at its alien-like tech from 2021. This experience made me realize that sometimes, upgrading can be a good thing.

Looking back, I've played a lot of games since the pandemic started, but most of them could have been played on PS4 and a mid-range laptop with RTX 3050. However, despite having these capabilities, I still preferred playing on my PS4 for its unique charm.

As I looked at my Steam and PSN libraries, I was shocked to see around 200 games that I've bought but never even downloaded. It's clear that I need to be more mindful of my spending habits and focus on playing the games that truly matter to me.

In conclusion, my gaming journey has taught me valuable lessons about self-reflection, FOMO, and prioritizing what matters most. While it's tempting to chase the latest and greatest technology, it's essential to remember that sometimes, less is more. And who knows? Maybe one day I'll find myself playing Mafia III on PS4 again, enjoying its unique charm for what it is – a game that brought me joy in the past.
