The ONLY Thing That Matters for PC vs Console

Forget all the graphics bs, as Uncharted 4 looks better and runs more smoothly than anything I've played on PC (yes, including The Witcher 3 and Crysis 3). If theer are differences between titles than it is something barely noticeable when you're fully engrossed in a game and everything is moving along nicely. In fact, many games have had serious issues functioning on PC lately. However, I have found a use for my gaming PC and its simple: I'm going back to play multiplayer. There is noway in hell I am going to pay for an internet sub and then pay for a company specific sub just to play online games. It's not the cost, it's the principle and the affront to my intelligence. PSN and Live can go **** themselves. I'll be getting BF4 and Titanfall 2 somewhere down the line on PC.

PSN and Xbox Live function differently than most PC online games. When you open up a server browser in a game on PC you're looking at a list of community hosted servers. Like... gamers just like us who pay out their own ass to get a server up for people to play on, many of which ask for donations.

On consoles, Sony and MS front the cost. It's just a different model. Sony lost shitloads of money last gen on PSN in competition with Microsoft, and it's precisely why they started charging for it. If nobody paid for those services, Sony and MS wouldn't just start offering it for free. They'd shut the services down completely.

This is not always true. Most Call of Duty games, for instance still use P2P.

Also, players will also purchase servers for BF1 on consoles.

And, you are also wrong in that pretty much all BF1 servers, even for PC, are hosted by DICE(at least for now, until players purchase servers).

So, this is not always true for either accounts. It is game specific, not platform specific.

Exactly.

Big part of me getting a PC this year was I'm not a single guy anymore. I shacked up last year so I got a rig so when I want to game I don't take over the living room TV from everyone. No one complained when I did but someone would always be walking in front of TV or some kind of distraction. Glad I did after all since PC has a ton of games I'm into that consoles don't. Mainly simulations,isometric RPGs turn based and single player games.

I can understand that but isometric RPGs? Tonnes of indie titles, especially on PS4 are exactly that.
