Ugh I'm completely stuck between a PS4 and significantly upgrading my PC (I'm rocking an AMD Phenom II X4 ffs). I can't do both, too much money, but I can do one now, and do planning on doing the other next year, it's just about what I can get now, they're both good deals and pretty equal in my eyes.
For PS4, I can get the Best Buy deal which a PS4 UC4 bundle with R&C and LoU Remastered for only 250$. I also plan on getting Bloodborne +DLC for about 40$ through PSN. I also plan on picking up FFXV and Last Guardian when they come out, also Persona 5 when it comes out in April. Altogether it'll cost me about 470$ with taxes
The PC issue is that I still have parts from 2010, only the GPU and HDD have gone through upgrades. So far, I've found and I5 6600K with a MOBO combo, case, ram, and PSU for only about 30$ more than what I would be spending on PS4 + games.
Here's how I mostly see it, with the PS4 I'd have instant gratification. I'd be able to play Bloodborne, which I've been desperate to play, along with UC4 and R&C tonight, and then be able to get those three other games as they come out. It'll be a nice steady flow, but idk what else I'd get on PS4 besides those games. It could very easily be a thing where I don't touch my PS4 for months at a time in between games.
With my PC I would have to wait days for the parts, and I would have no new games to go along with them, but I would be able to play more of the modern games, as well as certain emulators, at higher framerates. Games like DS3 and SFV consume 50% of my time playing games on PC. I'd be able to play tons of games with at least a 20 FPS increase thanks to the CPU upgrade alone. Games I own but haven't completed, partly because I want to play them at better settings such as Doom and Witcher 3 would basically be new experiences and I would get absorbed into them again, along with games that I would be interested in where I wasn't before, like BF1, Titanfall 2 and Space Hulk.
Any advice?
