Dodge Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Aloha folks, i am an 45 years old PC gamer and playing since the early 90´s (Neverwinter Nights, Ultima Online or Doom) on PC.Never touched a controller, except when i played some rounds with my nephew.But it is time to say good bye.The games i like are bad console ports for pc, player base shrinks as never before, hackers all over so i am done, but the child in me wants to play, so i think about it to buy a console. Which console should i buy?What is your opinion? greetz, Dodge Except when I play with my nephews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAmMoDBoX Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Well first, does anyone you know play on a system that you would want to also play with? If not, then PS4 wins. Cheaper games, more compatible accessories, faster and more powerful console, larger player base, better and easier UI to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipknot31286sic6 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Honestly Xbox is a huge let down with excuses in console world. Ps4 outsell a xbox 3 to 1 in over 30 countries. Unless such have friends on Xbox. That's about only reason to pick one up. Leave Xbox with more excuses of why they aren't selling... Grab a ps4, pop in ssd, never look back. If you wanna cry controller wars, grab a Titan one or xim if u need a keyboard and mouse. I left pc gaming just cuz it was so expensive to keep up and cheating was so bad it wasn't fun to play anymore.

ColonicBoom Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 If you want decent servers you should consider Xbox. But the most important thing is what ModBox said about people you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one friend, playing on PS4 couple hours a week.All my buddys stopped playing long time ago. :-) Ok next question, PS4 pro or not?I am just playing in my gamers room in my gamers chair on a Benq 24", no 4k XXX" what ever or something else...PS4 Pro worth it? Scuf or Xim4?I am an old PC guy, what do you think?How long will it takes to be average with a controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipknot31286sic6 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I like feel of playstation over any controller. Xim is a device so you can use a keyboard / mouse on console. Scuff is over price garbage. Ps4 pro hasn't proved being worth 400 when you can get a used ps4 under 200 and put a ssd in it. Still come out cheaper and better than ps4 pro. . 4k gaming not impressed from what I've seen. Also companies are vague and what ps4 pro graphics they added vs ps4 stock. Not worth money. Same slow HDD you'll need to add another 130 for ssd 500gb. Titan one is so you can use any controller, Xbox, pc controller, ps3, whatever on your system, also mod a normal ps4 controller to do anything expensive 300 scuffs do, etc. BTW never winter is free on ps4 right now. No Brainer for you. You won't regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offers no advantages at the moment, unless money is no object then you'll future proof yourself for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slipknot31286sic6 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 All I see is complaints about cod yet I have non playing on Xbox servers at all.Of course you don't their servers can't get over loaded when not that many active accounts on it vs psn. Hehe. To each their own. Over 110million active acts psn. Steam over 65 million active accounts. Xbox on a good month 48 million? 1 person have no issues on Xbox doesn't entice me as I know ppl with both systems. Each plague different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy clam Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 If it were me and you're not sure buy both,if you have the means.I think each one appeals to different people for different reasons,if getting DLC first is a big deal to you then go with PS,but again IMO XBOX has a lot of really cool games out or coming out (better than PS IMO). I've always been on PS but if I had to choose again right now, it would be XBOX. It's just a matter of personal choice and what options and features your looking for. Which ever one you choose you can't go wrong as long as you remember to have fun while using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BENORMOUS Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 For me xbox all the way plus with the Scorpio landing next year it will be bringing loads back to xbox,look it up,Im also a massive gears of war fan so the exclusives for me keep me happy but once again if you have friends on ps4 why not team up with them,I personally don't see any benefits to one or the other performance wise and Ive played on both a lot in the past,I'm currently playing on IW on a mates ps4 right thiside minute but my big club hands are too big for this controller lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsta69 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 To be honest I would just reiterate what has already been said. If you have more friends on one console than the other go with that. The majority of gamers will not be able to tell much difference. On paper the PS4 I believe is the superior console at the minute but that's no good if you have nobody to game with which for me is a big part of gaming. I have been a PS console guy since PS1 and still have one of those hooked up in mission control. Currently on PS4 pro and it is a fair bit faster than the PS4. Another issue would be the controller. Try them both. I do not like the Xbone controller at all. I have a scuff at 18 months old with a kontrol freak add on to the right stick and contrary to some posts it is still in as good a condition as when it arrived. Works a treat as well for the new games with all this jumping about malarky. I go into settings on the PS4 and switch L1 L2 and LR1and R2 around so that negates the need for trigger stops and just feels better for me. Really people who have xboxes in general will tell you to buy an xbox and the other way round to. Get your hands on a controller and see what your friends have. Enjoy. Just to add Im 47 years young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
