    That's a lot of bolony. I have a decent enough mid range rig that play just about everything on high/ultra and some times I still choose console over PC.

    For me it depends on the game.

    It also depends on the specials and all kinds of things. But mostly for me it's about the game.

    For instance I got Dragon Age Inquisition on the XBox One rather than on the pc because it's a game where I can plop down in front of the tv and relax with it. Even if the pc version is cheaper. But then something like Far Cry 4 I'd rather get on the pc.

    It's a case by case situation.

    I prefer the PC's controls, but I prefer the ease of sitting in my lounge on a couch playing PS4 on a large PC, with my wife and dogs close by. For PC gaming, I have to sit in a small spare room....

    So I think I've gotten to the point where I will play anything on PS4, except for a FPS game. This needs to be played on the PC.

    Example: I "got" witcher 3 from the interwebz, to try on my PC. I liked it, so I bought it on PS4. Now myself and the wife take turns to play Witcher on PS4 in our lounge. This beats PC gaming for me.

    This is awesome, something could never get right. Only wish I could find someone who shares an interest in gaming.

    my wife loves the Trine series, hence she now compares everything to Trine so I can't get her to play anything else cause "it doesn't look like Trine". Except for Trivial Persuit Live. that she'll play all day

    lol ok, lets look at this in a simple way which platform is expensive to play games on?
    I know that ps4 or xbox one is about life in the living room family bonding and all that ...

    but with a Epic Rig ...when you go back to ps4 / xbox one ...you feel like u just went for xbox 360 / ps4
    and that's my opinion lol.

    I hardly touch my PS3 these days. I still prefer PC, even if it is a game that I can "plop" myself in front of the TV with. In that case, I've got a long HDMI cable and a XBox controller which works perfect with Steam Big Picture mode. So I have all the benefits of the console, but with better graphics and cheaper games.
    I played Dragon Age 3 with keyboard and mouse (worked better for me), but Witcher 3 was entirely in front of the TV with controller.

    Get a non-gamer and "teach" her. It is just a matter of finding the right game at first. With my wife, I got her started on Dragon Age 1 and Skyrim, although, she got bored of that after a while... The character building / customisation is what drew her in. From there I took her to Saints Row 3 which she loved and finished together. We're still busy with Saints Row 4 (stuck with a bug) and meanwhile she is almost finished with Kingdoms of Amalur... did it all by herself and loved it. These days when I get back from squash on Monday nights, I usually catch her busy playing her game.
    I got us a couple of multiplayer games that we still have to get into but we haven't really played games this last 2 weeks.

    No guts, no glory, no brain, same story.

    Dude! Your opinion is your opinion but mine is that you are delusional.

    The thing is that you are talking to people here who actually own high end pcs and consoles. In fact both BeoTeK and I are both PC and console gamers. Consoles and computers have their places and we play certain games on certain platforms.

    But then, I play 360 games still too. For me it's not about the graphics so much but about the games and gaming.

    What kind of games do you play Mash? Have you ever played something like Braid?

    I wish I had time for console gaming. I barely have enough time for PC gaming, so my PS3 and PS4 are gathering dust... Well, not entirely true - my PS3 is a perfect Netflix box.

    My PS4 is almost a year old now and I STILL haven't played a single game on it. I've considered selling it numerous times as well and attempted it once, but no fishy bitey.
