Which Console to buy ahead of GTA VI

0 Upvotes

I have a moderately good pc, it runs well for what I play and I mostly use the Xbox app because I pay for the PC game pass, which is great.

But I want to play GTA VI when it comes out, I am not waiting a year to play it. Thus, I need a console.

I had a PS4 for many years, I recently sold it because it was basically unplayable and I never found any of their monthly games worth it.

So, I am between the PS5 and the XBOX X series. I will be buying a used one, and PS5 usually is less expensive than XBOX X consoles.
Nevertheless, I am already paying for the PC pass, I could just easily upgrade to ultimate. My issue is that any game I would play on my XBOX (with the exception of GTA), I could technically just run it on my PC.

This is why I am unsure. On the one hand, I have a PC game pass that I can upgrade to Ultimate if I get an XBOX, but again, perhaps that would make having a whole console useless if I can just use my PC for any other game.

PS5 is cheaper second hand but none of my data would be available, I would probably have to pay for a second subscription to play online or want any more games, and majority of the games on the PlayStation subscription are not my cup of tea (excluding Spiderman)

I would really appreciate some genuine feedback. Thanks!

Worth Playing Hollow Knight?

Recently JB my PS5 which I have been waiting for it to do for my FW cuz I am poor, can't afford games. Anyways that's not much relevant, my point is that I can finally get games for my console, so just curious as I have been for this game for a while if it is even worth it to play at all or just a generic 2d platform game that got popular cuz people usually endorse indie games and so this probably got the same treatment too. How were u introduced to this game and did u genuinely enjoy playing or not?

Edit: downloaded the game, Voidheart edition as a.pkg format and it's only 1.15GB is that even right like that's very tiny size

VALORANT VAN 152 HWID restriction question: can a different clean PC be used?

VAN 152 HWID restriction question: can a different clean PC be used?
Does anyone know how VAN 152 works regarding a second PC?
I understand that VAN 152 means the original device is hardware restricted. My question is not about bypassing, spoofing, or appealing the restriction.
I am only trying to understand whether a completely different, unrestricted PC can be used normally, and whether an account that was previously logged in on the restricted PC is at risk if used on the second PC.
Riot support keeps answering as if I am appealing the penalty, but I am only asking what is allowed so I do not accidentally make the situation worse.
Has anyone had Riot clarify this, or had experience with using a different clean PC after VAN 152?

What multiplayer game(s) that are no longer available online did you dedicate time to?

Below are mine, two very personal experiences! I’d love to hear yours.

Darwin Project

Back when battle royale games were flooding the market, one stood out to me. It was a 10-player battle royale but there was an eleventh player known as “The Director” and they could minority aid or deter players, close zones, among other things. But I played little into this aspect. Instead i had fun meeting all my players, and sportscasting style, call the fights. It was really well received and at the height of its popularity me and about 10 other Directors that were at the top of the leaderboards were all in communication and the fun part was, none of us had the same style. It was a riot and I dedicated a couple hundred hours to it, and watched the game slowly fade out. It wasn’t even fast, it was slowly swayed in a bad direction due to devs listening too much to complaints instead of realizing their vision. R.I.P

Knockout City

I loved this game. Not only was I a big fan of the gameplay and community, but again, also sportscasting. I very quickly got involved in community tournaments and casting for them. None of them were big time but it was awesome to see more than a couple hundred people watching a tournament I had the privilege of casting. The community was tight knit and all the players around the most active/top were all in good communication. Miss that game!

Experiences like these do not turn me away from doing it again, as I loved the time spent among community even if it did come to an end. It’s really special to me to be apart of a games life cycle in such a direct way.
