I'm a long time PC guy, got a PS4 last month, this is what I think so far.

Hey reddit!

I play videogames since I have memory, I had a lot of consoles and I was never "loyal" to a brand just because I liked the previous generation. I had a PSX, then a PS2 but I hated the PS3. The menus on the ps3 where horrible, the online felt empty, and overall the experience of playing a ps3 always felt weird for me, so I sold it, bought a 360 and loved it.

But after some time and specially when they announced Xbox One and PS4 I was extremely disapointed with the "next-gen". So for the first time I didn't get a console and focused on my high end pc and played everything there.

But yeah, I was missing many exclusives so I bought a PS4 to be able to play Horizon, Last of Us, Uncharted, etc... And I have to be honest, I wasn't expecting much other than the same experience I had in the past but with better looking games.

But I was wrong!

The ps4 has surprised me A LOT. First of all, the REST feature is the best feature it exists! Turn on the console and BAM! you are playing exactly were you were yesterday before going to bed! Love it!!!! In a instant you sit in your sofa and start playing. This is a game changer for me, as one of the things I hate the most are loading times... and yes, there are loading times when you boot the game and stuff but the rest mode saves you time when you only want to sit and play, and I adore it

Second, the controller... damn! I never like the dual shock design, but DS4 feels PERFECT, I think its the best controller out there, the new shape fits my hands perfectly like no controller ever did. And the analog controllers feel right where they should be. In previous dual shocks design I always thought they were too low and i had to open my hand too much.

Also the buttons response is perfect, specially the triggers.

Another thing I love about the PS4 are the menus, intuitive, simple, and clean. No ads blocking everything, easy to learn, etc. One thing I dont like is that it lacks costumization. I would LOVE to be able to link netflix to the main screen and stuff like that... sony plz.

And linking to that, netflix, spotify, amazon video, plex... even if you dont play games, having this machine conected to your main screen, is extremely useful

TL;DR: I'm in love
