When I chose PS5 over building a gaming PC in 2022, it was because PC cost 4x as much and didn’t have physical games. (Little did I know)

As of now, I have enough games in my backlog to last me till 2028, and I will be moving countries and by late 2028/early 2029, I wish to build a high end gaming PC and will be saving up $5k for it.

Please consider answering my questions:

  1. Is it really as good as it seems like from a console owner’s perspective? Are mods really as good as they seem like from my perspective? You can transform your entire gaming experience that easily? Get new content, fix broken games and improve great ones all for free? Seems to good to be true.

  2. Will 5k be enough then? I know how bad the situation is but what’s ur opinion about prices around late 2028?

  3. I have noticed PC players complaining about so many newly released titles on launch day due to poor optimisation but almost every game runs perfect from day 1 on PS5. Will I miss that?

  4. Also can I store Steam Client DRM free games and GOG games on my drive and its mine forever? Is that a difficult process? I really don’t like the idea of storefronts dictating what I can and cannot play.

  5. I dream of playing my fav games at 1440p and 100fps and higher with mods and I imagine that scenario is seamless and stutter free. Do you think 5k will be able to realise that dream in 2028-29?
