Are people really like this?

I hear this PS4 is only for people who can't buy gaming PCs comment come up a lot in this type of discussion. I used to play on PC, switched to PS4 so I can sit on the couch and get away from the PC after being on it all day at work. Plus I can get up and walk around with controller in hand while playing on a TV screen big enough for me to read text from across the room. I just wish PS4s had more USB slots so I can keep the keyboard, controller cable, mouse, and external HD plugged in all the time. Anyway it's just a platform, a preference, and each option has pros and cons. But if you are big on metagaming, PS4s are probably not for you.

I partly disagree with this statement.
The standard ps4 runs the game quite poorly i have to admit it, but the pro is running it at 60 fps with similar graphics.
And the playstation version is more stable, you could drop of the game in the middle of the city and the game will run for hours and hours, not talking about the connection to the server because thats purely random, the PS OS however is really stable when it comes to run games in extended period of time way better than windows 10 or xbox os.
And yes i have a pc, but thats a laptop, but im not playing it, since it sounds like its going to take off like a plane. XD



I have my game on for about 5 hours now, 50-60 fps all the time, you can call it a consistent OS running that game right there.

You're still missing out on some details/fps. I've seen it run on a pro. But I also play on a high end desktop so I can't even compare the two in the end. But regardless you're not going to know if you don't see them side by side (I saw my PS4 vs my husbands potato PC, potato PC won, so I got a PC that blew his potato out of the water.). So the point is moot. When I was on the PS4 I got a stable fps (whatever it was since you can't really tell) and it played just fine even with the HD options when they released those options on PS4. But you get alot more options on PC and customization. When I said stable I meant fps and graphic stability, not OS (OS is a side point once you start up a game and generally has little effect on the game unless your windows and you just want to ruin peoples days). Most current OS on any console run just fine for hours on end. You can run pretty much any game active or idle for hours on end, done it on xbox, ps4 and pc XP. On PC I play generally about 10 hours at a time on weekends (idle and active) depending on if I raid. PS4 starts sounding like a jet engine after 3 hours, but I mean, it still runs. So long as you have good airflow, you won't have any problems, if you don't youre going to run into every problem on the planet. My buddy had a PC where FFXIV would always crash, but it was due to poor planning on his part when he built his PC and it had a massive overheating problem.

And man those laptops get insanely loud with games, I can't really blame you.

While "PC master race" started as and intended to be a joke... players are very much serious about it and really do belittle the platform player. Some threads even in this forum suggested that is the case when the occasional HD texture pack for PC players thread comes up; and get's rejected for PS4 consumers holding them down for fairness sake. The same can be said as well for in-game parsers. There're a portion of players who really do view PSN players to be "street rats".

Some are crazy about bringing down console players and I just don't understand it. Though I really do wish there was an HD texture pack....The giant pixels when you zoom in make me a bit sad. But I also don't mind them not releasing it due to console restrictions. I'd rather more people be able to play this game than less.

That's when you hook your PC up to a TV XP yes, pc purists just cringed at me saying that, but I've done it. It's great for gaming while still maintaining a PC experience.

It's a fact that all world first teams are almost exclusively PC players, better performance analisys and communications gives massive advantage in hardest end game content. Note that this has nothing to do with using KB+M or console controller, many PC players switched to PS4 controllers now.

While PC players may have more tools at their disposal, that doesn't mean PS4 players are any worse. World first teams, usually are comprised of hard core pc mmo/mmorpg players in general, regardless the game you play. That doesn't mean a PS4 player couldn't achieve the same.

See I'm just the opposite. Personally I can't justify the game/media dedication of the PS4 so went with a PC as I also use it for other stuff like finances and writing code. Frankly I don't care what someone plays on as long as they try their best when in group content. As far as the party leader that wanted PC only to paraphrase a common refrain on the forum, "If you want to set the rules your way make your own party". It's their loss that they are cutting out a whole group of potentially great players.
