| I'm going to have about $2,000.00 USD saved this October and I'm trying to decide whether I should get a gaming PC or Ps3 + Ps4. The only thing that's really holding me back from getting a gaming PC instead in the playstation exclusives , and the possibility that I'll have to spend a lot of money frequently upgrading my PC instead of buying a console 1 time for around 5 years lifespan I guess. How many times would you have to upgrade your gaming rig in an average console lifespan of 5 years or so? I am an rpg , jrpg, and japan related stuff fan , so some playstation exclusives are geared towards that catagory too (although I have my ps2 for the golden era rpgs still). It seems like you can play a lot of current Ps4 games on PC, the only real exclusives for Ps4 that interest me haven't come out yet (if they even are exlusives can't remember: FFXV, FF7 Remake) (Uncharted games) Ps3 has way more exlcusives than ps4 I suppose. But its quality over quantity I guess. I do have a 2012 macbook pro , but I definitely don't use it for gaming, mainly for web stuff, watching anime, and reading manga.. it can barely emulate some gamecube games lol I played path of radiance on it but boy could you tell the computer was heavily struggling, probably not trying that again xD Its annoying this computer can't play most visual novels I'm intersted in either, although I'm aware you don't have to have a super powerful PC to play VNs though (i.e. could buy a cheap laptop for that purpose only). Even my freaking phone emulates GBA, GBC, NES, SNES, N64, Ps1, and some PSP games haha I've tried looking for an answer in some other places online but I get a lot of troll responses. |

| pc can be used for thing other than gaem can build pc that play most game high settings 800-1200 usd ps4 just a bloodborne machine |
| I'd say PC, I myself have a PC and a PS3. |

 |
| Why would you buy a PS3 for? |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
| PC and PS4, PC for multiplats and PS4 for its exclusives. |
Salvatia said: ps4 just a bloodborne machine Pretty much. But it eventually will have something else, I hope. |
| ps3 + ps4? lol that's only a waste of money.. pc + ps4 is much better. |
 But you'll still take damage! |
| Depends on the kind of gaming you want to do. I have a gaming PC but I game way more on consoles. The kind of games I'm into are generally console exclusive. PC, imo, has pretty poor exclusives, especially if you're a jrpg fan. Yea, if you're a jrpg fan, I would just go with Playstation. You'll find a lot more jrpgs there than you will on a PC. maku21 said: ps3 + ps4? lol that's only a waste of money.. pc + ps4 is much better. How is it a waste of money? The PS4 can't play PS3 games, so are you saying every PS3 game is a waste of money? |

| I don't see the point in getting a PS3. Most of the greatest exclusives are either already remastered or will be eventually. If you actually haven't played any of the PS3 exclusives, then definitely get a PS4. Start with The Last of Us Remastered, and later on the Uncharted Trilogy, God of War III if you've played the first two preferably, and get Bloodborne if you're a fan of games like the Souls series. I'm not a PC gamer myself, I've always been a console guy. It's just natural to me I guess. So I'm not gonna tell you to get into PC gaming, I'm not gonna tell you to not get into it either. |

They're some of the worst games I've ever played. |

| I prefer playing on a console, I personally own a PlayStation 3. Still, I've tried PC gaming before and the gameplay is amazing. If your picky about graphics then buy it. It's up to you, if you decide to get a gaming PC - be prepared to spend a bit of money, as I heard you have to upgrade one in awhile. |

Amazing gameplay, amazing soundtrack, thrilling story, great visuals, awesome environments and levels, crazy ass boss-fights and lots of sex and boobs everywhere. It's every man's dream. |

It's just a button masher. It's a triple A franchise. Presentation is of course going to be good. The soundtrack being good is debatable. I don't consider GOW's soundtrack anything special, but I've only played the first and some of the third. Maybe #2 was where the music stood out. |

| Depends what kind of games you like to play. In general I consider PC better, there is so much more you can do with it. In addition to that if you want superior graphics go for the pc. Also you can get 60fps or more depending on the monitor and graphic card. |
 |
| Spend 1.2k on a more than decent PC. Spent 600 on ps4 + games |
| At the $2000 price point, you could build a PC that could last you this generation plus probably a good deal into the next. Or you could do the smarter thing and rather than blow it all on top-of-the-line parts, build a mid-range PC that will still get great performance and then use the extra money to buy either a PS3 or PS4 on the side. You can still build a really nice quality PC for around $1000-1300. That still leaves plenty to pick up a console on the side. |

| If you want the most bang for your buck, I'd recommend a PS3 and a Wii U. |
 |
| I agree with the people who said PC, most of the games end up going on PC anywho. Only downside is that your friends will be bored if your playing games on the comp vs PC and you're gonna have to start dishing out some $$$ for a good rig. My PCs still surviving from 2009-10, just keep swapping parts out like a car. |
| PS3 + PS4 combo is useless. Most of PS3 exclusive games are getting remaster for PS4 or being released in Steam. I think the best for you is a PS4 for main stuff and PC for games that you missed from PS3, like Valkyria Chronicles. |

| PC's aren't cost effective. PC's will be outdated with new parts every year. PS3 took 10 years to be outdated by the PS4. |
| Fortune favors the bold. I weep for the sheep. |
| Well since I have a decent Gaming PC i would go for PS4 its nice playing console games and a lot of nice exclusives LOL but I think gaming PC would be better. xD |

| PC reason being that with 2,000 you can buy a computer that will put consoles to shame as long as its well maintained. As for games you can always use a emulator and torrent if your feeling nostalgic about exclusives... |

| PC for emulation and playing porn games. Consoles for legal new stuff. |
| PC (~$1200) and a PS4. The only reason I can think of to get a PS3 instead is for Demon's Souls. Also, a gaming PC should also last at least 5 years if you build it yourself. Mine has, anyway. The upgrades will also only cost about the amount of a new video card. (~$300) |
| PC, if you get a high end one it might last longer than a new console will, and besides you can upgrade it later as you see fit. Also, emulators, does the PS4 have a PC emulator? I don't think so. |
 |
| Depends. Overall, i recommend a PC as you can do other things aside from gaming. But, of course, PS4 is great for gaming and PS3 has some great classics so it all comes down to your preference. |

Siruppercut said: Working_Designs said: Emulators don't count, because some people are against emulation. Most of my favorite games have no official PC version. Just because some people are against it doesn't mean it doesn't count. How is that even logical? Games released on the virtual console is emulation as well and those people are not against it. Talk about double standards. Off to lunch and posting during work hours is like playing a stealth game of avoiding the boss. Some of us prefer to play older games on original hardware, on a CRT TV. If I were to narrow PC games down to just the "PC Exclusives," there wouldn't be many fun games left, because all my favorite games are "Console Only." |
|
| PS3s are pretty cheap at the moment, and I don't think most people use the full capabilities of their Alien ware Laptops or desktops. It really depends on How good your internet is, if you play online and such. I wouldn't spend $2,000 on gaming, but then I don't play a lot of games. |
 |
| Just get a PC and emulate everything lol. Most of the good PS3 exclusives are remakes of PS2 games (which you can emulate). The PS4s exclusive library is terrible and probably always will be. |
| Someone made an excellent point earlier, Ps4 really doesn't have any exclusives outside of uncharted that I'm really interested in.. So that essentially makes a $1000.00 + PC a better Ps4 since this generation of gaming seems to be so concerned with multiplats instead of exclusives. I've pretty much exhaustively looked at Ps3 RPG and JRPG catalog. I played most of the tales of games, I played Skyrim, both fallouts, red dead redemption, valkyrie chronicles, the last of us (owned a ps3 before, it broke 1.5 years ago) . not intersted in the souls games at all or bloodborne, not ni no kuni, Most of the other Rpgs for ps3 not interested in just by reading descriptions and skimming reviews. The main pull in general of playstation exclusives for me seems to be uncharted , metal gear legacy collection, and not much of anything else lol I'll probably get a computer with GTX 980 .. already have a good 1080P 23.3'' monitor ! From what I've read 4K gaming is still in its infancy , so no need to get 4K screen or ridiculously overpowered computer to support 4K gaming. Since I have a WiiU I can Play WiiU and Wii games normally. I can actually emulate most other nintendo games except for 3ds I suppose so thats cool. I also Have a ps2 so most of the great rpgs were from that older era anyways (playing xenosaga ep 1 right now).. I may get a Ps4 in somewhat distant future (late 2016 or sometime 2017) if FF XV is actually good and is console exclusive..and if I cave to play Uncharted games lol I'm also looking into getting into Visual Novels a bit more frequently haha. Hopefully this PC will last a few years, ideally for a console gen so 4-5 years? Update graphics card maybe once in that time.. |
