My niece wants a new XBox - that's easy enough, I'll just get her the fancy version. My nephew wants a PS5 - is there a reason to get the disk versus the digital? Like, they're functionally the same except the disk drive?

I have to assume this was blowback about how BAD the last presentation went, with the talking heads and everyone thinking they were CGI and everything else. Except... they still had talking heads on this one!
Ya the Harry Potter game looks like it could be really cool and is something I really wanted back when I was growing up reading the books and I have a lot of nostalgia for that world.
It's just that J.K. Rowling turned out to be a huge piece of shit so now looking at anything in that IP is like looking through vaseline smeared glasses except instead of vaseline it's bigotry.
The funny thing about DMC5SE having Vergil is that apparently Vergil was put into original DMC5 with a lot of the same infrastructure that you would use if you were designing a playable character, so people were able to mod the PC version to do just that. And they're pretty similar!

Harry Potter is bad and if they made a bootleg magic school game that explicitly wasn't Hogwarts I would be more interested
That said I realize I am in a minority on that, and a well known IP will do better and that's why we can't have nice things
But honestly fuck Harry Potter and fuck Rowling, her shitty wizard books aren't even that good once you approach them with an even remotely critical eye, and everything she's added to the fiction after the fact is somehow even worse (except for wizards shitting their pants, that is the only good part of the extended fiction)
That actually reminds me though where the hell is that Witchbrook game
Miles, Demon Souls, Sackboy and now Horizon 2 are all announced for the PS4.
There's zero reason to get a PS5 at launch
My non-pro PS4 is already really chugging with anything resource-intensive, and my tolerance for load times is dropping by the day. I don't have anywhere in my studio apartment to put a desktop PC. And if I do hold off, wait until there are next-gen 'sclusies, I run the risk of having to re-buy those generation-spanning games.

Fucking WHAT
I feel like it's some weird thing where they can't say it because the launch date wasn't announced
you can just literally say "available at launch" like they did with devil may cry, though?
I am just trying to sort out the hellworld that is corporate synergy
it's gonna depend a lot on what the recommended specs for demon's souls on pc is

what is going on?! why didn't they say any of this??
I am sick of crystals, they aren't interesting
They sparkle.
That's pretty interesting.
I shouldn't get a PS5 just to get the new DMC5 stuff as soon as possible, but it's tempting.
Also cheaper than a new PC.
NEVER
FABULOSO NOVELLA CRYSTALLIS METHAMPHETAMINE IS ALL I CARE ABOUT
ehhh i might still dislike codblops more
Black Ops is just full of things they didn't have to do and definitely chose to
Look at this guy who doesn't know how to charge his crystals
but, you know, I bet the game has those goblin bankers in it, so maybe not
I mean you take out the yammering about crystals and the chocobos and you wouldn't even be able to tell that that was a FF game
Isn't that all Final Fantasies, though? You take out the familiar iconography and it's just a random fantasy game.

also, $70 games, here we go
I mean
kinda but also usually that would involve taking out a lot of things and also they still wouldn't look like a knock off Witcher

wow it really is everything I might be interested in

Neither console is going to have new games at launch, really
My non-pro PS4 is already really chugging with anything resource-intensive, and my tolerance for load times is dropping by the day. I don't have anywhere in my studio apartment to put a desktop PC.

I don't really gain anything by waiting.
Lately, I have been playing PS1 games.
