PC, I might at some point in the future get a PS4, depending on exclusive titles. There isnt a situation regardless of exclusives that could possibly persuade me to buy an Xbox1 though, its a no brainer tbh.
Will someone who prefers a console over PC please explain to me why? I plugged an Xbox controller into my PC just to see how I would feel and I had so much trouble aiming with my spells. As soon as I went to keyboard and mouse, my accuracy improved 10x. Is it just me who sucks at aiming with a controller? Lol
i voted undecided but if i decide to play the game it will depends on the controls. If it doesnt offer native gamepad support on PC i might play on PS4. Not every mmo plays well with Xpadder and i dont play reticule mmos with mouse.

Those that pick up an MMO designed for console such as TESO of course. I'll be playing on the PS4 myself. TESO was designed simplistically enough that it could run easy on a console and now we know why, it apparently was designed for consoles from the beginning. I was going to pass because it really wasn't worth putting on my PC but with the console announcement a lot made sense and I decided to pick it up.

No, this is most certainly the case. Those who use controllers often will say they are better at aiming. However, that is simply untrue and is really only a factor because the controller user doesn't know how to use a mouse properly. Those who know how to use both, will always tell you a mouse is more accurate, simply because it is. Not everyone is good at using a mouse though. These people tend to be the major console gamers since good gaming computers in the past costed so much more.
Definitely PC. I use my TV to watch sports or whatever often while I'm playing MMOs.
I do have a PS3 connected to it but that's mostly for Netflix, Bluray movies, streaming from my computer and my sports games (NHL, FIFA, etc.)

Good, I feel better now lol. I do want to start using my computer on the 70" big screen, so I just need to purchase one of the computer rest stands someone recommended. I guess the only reason I will get a PS4 is if there is an exclusive game I must try.
Originally posted by STYNKFYST I like the overwhelming results so far.
I wouldn't be happy about the results if I were you lol. Many picking it up on the PC are going to be severely disappointed. Having played the game on PC it would be an instant pass for me if PC was the only option and I'm a pretty devoted PC gamer. On console a lot of the things I have issue with no longer really matter. I can't go into detail for obvious reasons though
I will be playing this on the PS4. I would vote PC, but I eventually want stop buying games unless they are made for Mac as well. If they have a Mac client, I may purchase play this on PC. I want Microsoft to go down in flames, esp being what they are doing with Xbox one, Windows 8,etc. Continuing to purchase Windows only games only keeps them alive longer.
This poll means absolutely nothing as 99,9999% of people on this website are PC gamers, of course the poll is going to be in majority for PC lol...
Most people do not realize you can plug mouse+kb on the PS4 so...personally, I will be playing it on PS4 with controller AND mouse/keyboard USB for chat and if aiming tends to require a lot of precision, which I am pretty sure it doesn't, a dev said that the arrows actually bend mid air to follow your target if you were aiming at it when you fired... Also, the game was obviously build for consoles with simplistic UI and limited spells, etc.
I am leaning towards xbox one. It will be great to chat over xbox live with friends while playing instead of having to type or use a chat service on the pc. Still a chance I might end up playing it on PC though.

I need a PC in any case, and it is perfectly suited for computer games too thank you very much.

Thats exactly my set up lol, though I just bought an Apple TV so now I doubt I will use the PS3 at all.

I wont be buying it on release, since I heard the news that it will be across multiple platforms.
If the reviews are good and there's lots of people playing, then I will, on the PC

I hate it that there is no cross platform playing.
I don't think computer #2 will run it.
