pipebomb_phil 02/28/18 10:57:08 PM #1:	No, I'm not one of those "PC Master Race" gamers. I already have a good PS4 library since I've been buying a lot of games on sale. So far I have a few PS Plus games, Alien Isolation, The Last of Us, The Witcher 3, RE5, and some other games too. I'm very excited to hop back to console. And I can't wait to play Overwatch again. I haven't played it in months and with the new character reveal today, I just can't take it any more! I must play Overwatch again! And I'll be doing it on PS4. That's all. My PC is broken, I miss gaming. I'll buy a PC late this year when I can afford one. --- #pipebomb_phil http://i.imgur.com/atWQoAs.gif <cite>pipebomb_phil posted [p:896964283] in I'm buying...

No. The PS4 would still be more affordable. I'd want to play my PC games at max or near max at 60 fps (or higher). I cannot find a laptop for $500 that will play games at those settings. So I'd rather buy a PS4 and play the games I already have on it, and buy a PC later this year when I have more money to buy something that will last me a good while and has the specs that I want. Edit: If I could find a laptop that at that price that can run the games at the settings I want, I'd buy it. HellHole_ posted... didn't you make several topics about playing your ps3 recently I have. I even bought MGSV: TPP for PS3 but I changed my mind and decided that I'll just buy a PS4. Also because I want to play Overwatch and I can't play that on last gen hardware.

The auto combos do barely any damage and are there mainly for set up strings. Manual combos give you much more damage.
