Hi all- I'm finally done with education and career prep stuff that consumed my life, and I sorely miss having a game system to unwind after a long day or enjoy during my free time. While I last had a 360, prior to that was the Playstation 2, which was probably my ultimate favorite system. I already planned to buy a Switch so I can indulge in the Nintendo games I miss, but I decided I wanted either PS or Xbox for other games and likely online play.
Would you be able to offer some advice as to which (even games) you recommend?
I loved a lot of shooters like Halo, Gears of War, James Bond games (I know this dates me), games like Hitman, The Godfather (was awesome on 360 imo), GTA, Saints Row, racers like NFS or the Burnout series, sports- not often- did like MLB on PS if they still make it but might be down to get into Madden, FIFA, etc again. Typing this made me realize I'm likely a pretty basic gamer, but I'm not sure which platform has better online experience (Xbox Live years ago was way better than PS3's Playstation Network), yet it seems like MS doesn't have all the exclusives it used to anymore (Halo era seems to be over, Activision, EA, other game developers seem so different now in a much different market).
If this isn't supposed to be here, please let me know- happily will take it down, but any help would be appreciated. ha
TL;DR: Tell me whether you like Xbox or PS5 better and why.
