Pc gamers are really scr*ping at the bottom of the pot to try and discredit the power of next gen consoles now. That whole video failed to point out that the fps issues were fixed in the latest patch making fps drops incredibly less frequent and that PC has had several patches already because of how bug infested it is (nothing unusual for pc games). They also failed to point out how sharper the game looked in the comparisons on the ps4, especially the shadows and lighting, you would have to be blind not to see that the ps4 looked better then the potato masher (lol)

I'm not discrediting next gen, more like the opposite! I'm saying that it is remarkable how such cr*ppy hardware in the consoles does so well to play games, even if it isn't quite as good looking as the potato masher.

Consoles are on the same patch as the PC, just consoles have to wait longer because they have to go through either MS or Sony's testing procedures before going out. Next patch is Monday for PC and then later for consoles. * +
