What many of the console "kids" don't understand is that CCP is a business,

This build will apparently get 40fps on BF4 on High Settings. Little pricey when compared to consoles, but it'll work well enough.

I currently do not have a PS4 and I have never played games on a PC.

My main concern with playing a game on the PC is the controls. I will not be able to use a keyboard or mouse because my hands are too big to play games using a keyboard.

Whether or not I actually build a gaming PC just so that I can play this new FPS being developed will depend entirely on the game itself. I'm looking for a game that will be a challenge, will be highly competitive, and will require various levels of skill to be good at.

You do know that you can use any controller on PC with the right programs, yes?

I plan to use my Wii U pro controller because I hate kb/m, disadvantage or no.

Who gives a bloody damn about platform? Real gamers will enjoy the game regardless. I still got the GameCube from my childhood. Still play gameboy advance games. Still have my Xbox 360 that I always maintain every other month. They've all entertained me so much across the years. I play those games over and over because I enjoy them.

Just because CCP decided to make this "dust 2.0" for PC doesn't mean I'm gonna cry and b!tch about it.
It just gives me a bigger incentive to get inventive with what parts/money I have.

In the end,memories are all that matter,the thrill of going from 2d to 3d,the endless crawls through dungeons searching for items,the eternal struggle of not flipping your sh't when the princess is in another castle.

I'm not kidding...The case isn't strictly speaking necessary xD You can run an entire PC without one, provided you keep it from being in direct contact with other conductors, and provide enough airflow over the area. The Case is no doubt important for maintaining the life of the components, and (in properly designed cases anyway) maintaining airflow for cooling...but unlike a Mobo, CPU, PSU, RAM, and Storage it isn't necessary to turn the thing on xD...and it isn't entirely crazy to try to fabricate a case yourself if you've got access to the tools and materials, combined with the motivation to make it happen...but if you factor the value of your time...it'll probably still be cheaper to buy a case.

DUST? Running consistently on 40fps? Please. Just like CCP has planned on doing many things in the past, I'll beleive it when I actually see it and until then I'm not gonna hold my breath.

Okay. Well, good luck holding your breath and all. Alternatively you could trust your CPM on this one.

1) Yes

2) On a scale of 1 - 10, -100. If I built any PC, I would play Star Citizen and be part of that universe. I saw enough people who bought a PS3 just for Dust to be able to trust CCP. I won't even play anything they put on the PS4, even if it was free.

3) Time, knowledge needed, dealing with cheaters, lack of standards. I have played just a little on this laptop when it was new, playing older games I know it could handle, and even then, performance was all over the place. I played 2 brand new games with little problems, then played games 1 to 2 years older, and had to spend dozens of hours just get get them to play. One was to the point of being unplayable despite the fact that my computer had already handled games that were more performance heavy.

I don't have time for that. I want to start a game, and play the game. I want to purchase a game, pop it in, and expect it to work without having to trouble shoot for 8 hours, with the only fix being a user made file that the publisher won't create and ensure the safety of. I don't have any need or desire for the mods and whatnot that PC enables. I understand the draw, but I just want to play the f*cking game...

4) Too early to say at this point. I doubt it, because seeing what CCP has done up close for 3 years has left a horrible taste in my mouth.

5) Yes. We set up an off shore rig a long time ago, and most had already moved on. I met some great people through Dust, and plan on staying in touch with them long after CCP could give two squats about us.

1) Do you already own a PS4
2) How likely would you be to build a pc for this?
3) What are your main concerns with building a pc?
4) Do you still plan to follow development?
5) Do you still plan to hang out with your corp mates?

.

Not to mention that I am ecstatic to think about the crowd that will left behind because they can't or won't pay a subscription. Goodbye to some to the worst elements of this game. The quality of game and gamer will only get better with this kind of move.

I want to get this out there that I still hold my opinion that it really sucks moving Dust 2.0 to PC, but will amend that it is necessary. They built this game on the console players backs, and now they're taking what they've learned and are abandoning them.

You're severely downplaying the role money plays in our lives.

Lmao are you kidding me ?

The case is very important. It doesn't have to be so pricy, you can get a decent one for ~$60 that has enough fans, is big enough for big GPUs and has all the USB 3.0 and HDD/SSD rack needed ^^

A good case will allow you to cool down your pc very efficiently. Don't get an ITX motherboard if you plan on gaming, get an ATX that is not too cheap (~$90) from msi, gigabyte or asus.
