So I normally play on PC, i have a very nice machine but its about 2 years old now with the exception of the video card. Recently with the acquisition of my taxes I needed to upgrade my wives computer. She lags so bad she has lost excitement. She decided that I should get the new computer, yay me! and she would take my old. So where am I going with this?
On spec'ing out parts I remember I had also purchased the PS3 version and just could not get used to the controls on it, i missed my mouse and keyboard. Some things like gathering and... gathering I was ok with doing on it but other than that I just get lost. Props to those that are good at it, but its just not me. So here lies my dilemma, Do i spend 1.5k on a new computer or do i get a PS4 and take the chance that the graphics and such just aren't were i want them to be. And yes when all was said and done the computer was about 1.5k, I wasn't going to get something that would work, i wanted something that will always work on Extreme settings for anything I want to play in the next few years.
I ended up the PC, after pondering for a few hours I just couldnt take that chance. The PS4 would of just been for FFXIV for the most part, I'm not a huge console gamer and Xbox One is pretty sweet in the living room. Someday I'll get a PS4 but until then i'll be anxiously reading the reviews for how this games runs on it.
