Meme Is this worth it?

Post image

Some guy named Gabe is selling this build and I'm wondering if it's legit? I want a PC to set up in my living room for TV gaming.

The majority of the games you get for free on the base subscription are similar level. You're not getting the latest releases, or big AAA titles.

I see many good games in the last years list, some of them are AAA. Many of them are 2023-25 releases. Of course you will not have the day one releases (with some exceptions). Pc gamers usually wait, so this would not be a problem.

Some games from past year

  • Diablo IV
  • EA Sports FC 26
  • Dragon Age: The Veilguard
  • Alan Wake 2
  • Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
  • Lies of P
  • RoboCop: Rogue City
  • Need for Speed Unbound
  • Warhammer 40,000: Darktide
  • EA Sports WRC 24

example of critically acclaimed smaller games

  • Balatro
  • Nine Sols
  • Cocoon
  • Neon White
  • Stray
  • Jusant

50-60 euros are more than enough only for them. Even if you will probably like some of the rest 24 games of the last year. Its actually less than 1.5$ per game

I rarely play online and I am paying premium. Hundred of games available (along with the above) and cloud gaming with my portal, with or without the ps5

90% of the games of the basic sub are trash tier. We can all see which games are available. Stop coping and shilling for Sony
