Soon enough I really think there will be a major shift to PC gaming, more so than the last 15 years or so. This Mantle and SteamOS implementations are a good way to that. Mix that with the fact that kids are learning about computers at a much younger age and it's only a matter of time.

I hope and can't wait. PC gaming is amazing and I believe you really get your money's worth. I just wish the gaming for sports was better. Just imagine what 2k and MLB the show been doing the past 8 years for console now imagine that with PC development.

For sure. To be honest, I started upgrading and then building (built 2 rigs) mainly for school/work projects. I needed a powerful machine for the things I was/am compiling, simulating, designing. The gaming aspect was just a secondary benefit.

I'm still getting a PS4 but it will surely be my last console.

Yeah I am getting next gen because I am a gamer but I am not expecting anything spectacular.

I went back to playing the console again because of GTA V and I can't stomach it anymore. PC ruin gaming for me. Graphics are terrible. I just wish it came out for PC too.
Seriously... . I haven't gamed on my PC in a few weeks because of GTA V and a few other PS3 titles.

PC brehs, I need your honest unbiased opinion:

Right now I got a PS4 on pre order. It's the BF4 bundle and now I'm having second thoughts. I'm not thinking instead of dumping that money into a high end GPU and BF4 premium.

Only problem is I still like to play some of the shyt on consoles (some sports, Red Dead and some other console only games) and obviously I have a lot of friends who still use consoles.

But I find myself more and more on the PC gaming tip now, and I much preferred to playing BF4 on the PC than my 360.

What do you think? PS4 BF4 bundle or something like a R9 290 (not 290X) and BF4 premium?

BTW, I have a Wii U and enjoy it. Also allows my child, nieces and nephews to play certain games.

Thanks in advance.

these are dilemmas I'm sure many of us deal with. I will say that when you buy these consoles at launch, you are paying top dollar, so waiting will almost always benefit your wallet. plus you can watch the impressions of people that did buy it, and make a more educated purchase down the road

ultimately it's on you though. the PC will have the 'superior' version of multiplatform games like BF4. if you're not particularly interested in any of the PS4 launch exclusives (many of their "console-exclusives", like Warframe, are already available on PC btw), I would say go the PC route

Look at the games you want to play and look at when they will likely release. A lot of the hyped games coming out at the end of this year (and going to the next) are multiplats which will release on PC. The top exclusives you would likely want on PS4 probably won't be out to mid/end next year (or even later). Also look at where your friends will be, if your friends are playing the same shyt you enjoy then stick with that ps4 because bf4 will be 10 times more fun with a good squad. All my friends just play cod and I can't get down with that shyt so I basically said fukk it and went to PC till the new consoles come. I won't get PS4 at launch but I plan on getting it when more exclusives drop
