What do I get me on Christmas ?

I can't decide. I already have a decent gaming PC, the weakest part of which is my old GTX780. And this month I have got my already hefty check plus a surprise bonus of 600CAD that burns my pocket to spend them on Christmas somehow.

The options are

1. PS4 with Bloodborne. So far, I want to play only a couple of PS4 games which are previously mentioned Bloodborne, Until Dawn, remakes of God of War that I never played and maybe a couple of other remasters like Final Fantasy X, XII. Anyway, I won't lose my sleep if I don't get to play them.

Where I live, PS4 is available at discount price of 360CAD, but no package is coming with Bloodborne. So with Bloodborne it will be 400CAD

2. GTX 980 TI, which has been discounted to 800CADs. My GTX780 still plays most games maxed at 1080p, but since my monitor is 1440p I hate to crack down resolutions on it to 1080p. Another factor is that I was patiently awaiting for new Pascal architecture, 16nm vs 28nm of GTX980 TI, which is coming in the mid of 2016, and obviously will completely destroy GTX900 series.

3. Your ideas.

Get a ps4. Pc has shit exclusives lately. Or get a new graphics card so you can enjoy that extra blade of grass on your multiplats....

PS4 with Bloodborne, it's absolutely a must play this gen, especially with the DLC. Get TLoU as well if you didn't play it. Until Dawn is pretty good. It helps that the PS4's 2016 lineup looks amazing as well, Uncharted 4 not long after the holidays.

I would just buy a Wii U, 3DS, or wait for NX. Dark Souls III is coming to PC, probably the same with them old FF games. Could wait for NX, see what it is. But if want to play Bloodborne that bad, just go with the PS4, you wont get to play it otherwise unless you wait till the system is a lot cheaper. Bloodborne is cheap now also and will only get cheaper.

PS4 makes a pretty good netflix machine for when you finish Bloodborne, I went that route and it saves me having to switch my PC audio to the TV speakers when i want to watch netflix

There might also be other worthwhile games that come out eventually

Hmmm some upcoming games on PC in December.

Squad

Dirt Rally

Helldivers

Dreamfall Chapter 4

R6: Siege

Dragon Quest Heroes

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

Elite: Dangerous -Horizon

Too bad The Banner Saga 2, Torment: Tides of Numenera and Cossacks 3 delayed.

Daedalic Valhalla Hills leaving Steam's Early Access tomorrow.

I'd say upgrade your PC, but then again 780 is pretty good video card and will serve you well for quite some time. In my opinion, you should go with Xbox One if you are interested in stuff like Quantum Break. Bloodborne plays like Dark Souls, and you are already getting DS3 next year on PC.

Wait for Nvidia Pascal.

All i'll say is that Bloodborne isn't just a good game but a masterpiece that will be remembered for a long time (especially with the expansion which is even better than the original game. Being better than the original game is an achievement on its own). BB is the kind of games that shouldn't be missed by anyone but stubborn sheep that live in their own Nintendo world, thick fanboy goggles wearing lems and clueless dudebros that haven't even heard of Bloodborne. One of a kind game.

I'd say to upgrade something that won't be obsolete in a year or two - something you can hold onto for years. If you have the space, money, and a home without irritable neighbors, I'd suggest upgrading your sound system (assuming it's not already over $600). Or make your gaming/work area more enjoyable by making it easier on the eyes.

I say all this because next year will be such a massive improvement that it might seem a waste to spend $600 on something that may become a paperweight in half a year. I understand your frustration with you 780 and trying 1440p. Try 4K, Blegh! If you're having issues deciding, just wait until something really interests you even if that requires waiting until Christmas next year.

@jhonMalcovich this ^ is the best answer.

@silversix_: I called it Bloodbored, but I admit I was being a douche bag and never played it. I played demons souls and dark souls and loved them. How does it compare?

Coal.

@harrygooch: its my personal 2nd fav of the series and that's only because the first Souls game you play will always be your "favorite" since its the one that will feel the most unique and special (also the one you'll have the hardest time with since you'll be new to the series). When talking about pure quality (bosses, world design, weapon design, story, atmosphere), Bloodborne is better than all of them. The only disappointment is the pvp weapons/build variety (which got better with the expansion btw. much better actually but nowhere near the depth DkS2 had) but if you aren't into pvp this game is as good as it'll ever get. One of those rare games i'd give a 10/10.

@silversix_: im hoping they will make a goty edition for it with all the expansions combined. I accumulated quite a backlog, have mgs5 and witcher 3 on the way.

Get a PS4, I am sure there will be other games you will end up getting than just Bloodborne (which is one of the best games this gen and it's a true exclusive). 2016 seems really promising on the exclusive department for the PS4.

PC + PS4 is the way to go and maybe a Wii U down the road.

PS4

save ur money for next years nvidia gpus. Nothing worth getting this year since you already have a 780 which should hold you over till then.

Get this.

@jhonMalcovich: Buy PS4 now and save money for new GPUs later .... 14/16 nm GPUs are coming in 2016. Its then when ill consider an upgrade myself too.

PS4 might be the best idea here.

You could also get a Wii U on the cheap, if only for Xenoblade and Zelda (two franchises that I think you like?)

Bloodborne is only worth playing on PS4, get the Xbox One better system with better games Quantum Break, Halo 5, Forza 6

I don't know why you want to watch Until Yawn

If you aren't already, try growing your money through investments rather than throwing it away.

• DUK
• CVX
• PG
• KMB

Or just get the VOO ETF.

Ignore consoles.

Spend it on hookers and blow instead.
