Please let PS4 parse our dps like pc

[Eli85]

Rather than going into a lengthy and pointless debate about whether or not it's okay to parse, there is something else I would really like to say.

Obtaining a gaming PC is an art in itself, and the stereotype of them being insanely expensive isn't necessarily true if you don't want it to be.

A current gen console goes for, at most, $300, give or take. Now, buying a gaming computer that is already built (like from a store or something) is just asking to pay a boatload of money. The ones from retail stores are the worst offenders, but small-time shops also sell overpriced goods. Most of the time, the reason it's so expensive is because there's all sorts of stuff you don't need.

At its core, a PC is ram, a cpu, a gpu, a motherboard, a psu, a tower, a storage drive, and an operating system. Towers are just hunks of metal, so you can use them from pretty much anywhere as long as the components fit. There are ways to get Windows 10 for free without piracy, and unlike previous versions of windows, it isn't as strict about not being activated. You can continue to use it even when it's not activated, but there will be a watermark on the screen.

Considering all that, my current PC (the one I'm typing on right now) cost me about $350 to build, and I can run any game I throw at it.

$350 (USD) for a PC that can play "any game you throw at it?" No one is going to buy that for a second. If you Google PC Gaming 2019 best budget card, you are probably going to find the Radeon RX 570 card, which is going to run you anywhere from $150 to $200. Similarly, budget CPUs are going to run in the same price range. So, at best, you're already at $300 for the GPU and CPU, leaving $50 for Motherboard, RAM, PSU, HDD, tower, OS, and peripherals? Please. And this is BUDGET. Which, even if it runs any "game you throw at it," will run most of it not very well.


Now a console? PS4 Slim will cost you $299 and it has everything you need to run it (including the only mandatory peripheral). It's not even close.

To the larger topic at hand, S-E really needs to address the parser on PC but not PS4. It's disturbing that they are OK with giving PC players more tools than PS4 players. Either both get parsers or neither does.
