Unfun fact: PSN is always down. EVERY. DAMN. DAY.

[Kosmos992k]

OK some glaring holes here, pretty much everything on the PC is automated, driver updates, install software has to be done on the PS4 as well dunno why you think this is only a PC thing, you also have to update on the PS4 as well.
Windows update is pretty much automated, it will do it for you when you shut down.

If you own a 360 controller, FF14 picks it up right away with no config other then rebinding keys just like on a PS4.

Tune your set up is only done after reccomended settings have taken affect and is one of the reason why you want a pc in the first place and its a given fact granted.

There are no glaring holes my friend. Everything on a PC is automated right up to the point where something doesn't work as expected, something screws up the registry, or whatever the cause. For someone who knows their stuff a PC is no more complex than a console, both get updates and both use keyboard, mouse, controller. However, as someone who spends about 60 % of their waking/working hours working on a PC in one way or another, I have to say that the console is easier. It just is.

I do have games on my PC as well, I have a foot on both sides of the discussion. I do think that the folks proposing PCs are the 'solution' are ignoring the many small annoyances that make PC gaming just not as easy as console gaming. To you, me and anyone else familiar with PCs, such things go almost un-noticed. But for people not familiar with PCs, they represent problems and obstacles that simply are not there on a console.

You can argue your opinion passionately and accurately, but you're coming from the point of view that "PC is best" for gaming. That's fine, and for you it's the right answer. Just please accept that it's not the right answer for everyone else, and no amount of you saying it's easy, or inexpensive or whatever will change that.

We're just saying that once you get a PC setup and ready to go, don't browse fishy websites or open weird emails and you'll have a perfectly flawless gaming machine...

You guys want something easy where all you do is pop in a disc and go? You gotta deal with your overhead from Sony Bureaucrats.

And I never get viruses, worms, trojans. What kind of websites are you visiting? Do you have the proper protection installed on your PC?

Uh-huh, given the amount of malware (including key-loggers) that is pushed out via compromised advertizing on legitimate sites each year, you might want to tone down your superior rhetoric. Oh, and take a look at this article;

The "overhead from Sony Bureaucrats" means what exactly? Paying for PS Plus? Not being able to hack the console and play pirated software? Seriously, how is paying for a supported network service much different than paying for a VPN proxy, paying the Windows tax (MS) or dealing with the anti-virus software and it's updates. Unless you're referring to some philosophical problem you have with Sony of course.

I dont' experience problems with malware, viruses etc either. My PC sits behind a firewall, has it's own firewall, the browser blocks 99% of all ads (if not more) and blocks javascript from sites not on a whitelist, cookies and other temp files are deleted when the browser exits, etc... it runs up to date anti-virus software. I won't bother to address your implication about browsing habits since there's really nothing to answer.

The point that was being made still stands, PC gaming is not for everyone, and your positive opinion and experience with it does not miraculously make it that way for everyone else.
