My bf is trying to talk me into getting the ps4 version. (I can't control a mouse and keyboard at the same time, so pc is out.) He seems convinced i'll love it, but I'm not sure I want to pay for it + PSN so we can use it.
Try watching some videos - it's hard to explain MC's appeal beyond virtual unlimited Legos, but easier to demonstrate. If it's your kind of game, you'll likely be able to tell. Also, if you have a mouse with a good number of configurable buttons, it's not too hard to set up MC to be completely mouse driven, I've done it when I injured my left wrist. You need buttons for Shift, Inventory, Forward and Jump, scroll wheel for changing the hotbar selection. It's a bit clumsy for melee since you can't back up without turning around, but it /is/ doable.
I got into MC during very early Beta, and have probably spent more hours on it than any other game I've owned. Currently playing heavily a modded pack (Regrowth) off the FTB launcher. Don't think I'd enjoy the console versions too much, after so many years with the PC version.
