Wondering about the PS3 version against the PC.

[Sipher]

Has anyone ever played the PS3 version? I bought it for my daughters. And now my wife and I play it more than they do. Since it is only 1 player. My wife don't like to share much. So i was wondering is the PC version simlar to the PS3? From what i have read on these forums. It seems different from what i have played on the PS3. Also if playing online with other people can be done on the PC version. Cause on my PS3 it says searching for games. But never finds anything. Thanks to anyone who responds.
Also should i buy the PC version? Also is there a fansite for this game? Like somewhere i can go to get information for crafting and boss battles and stuff? Would be great help. Thanks

you should definately get the pc version, i got it last week and i am glued to it :) definetly one of the best choices i have made, yes a lag spike every so often but if you have a medium to high end pc then it is definately worth every penny you pay for it.

here you go tc for your second question, an answer http://terraria.gamepedia.com/Terraria_Wiki check that site out for help and of course the forums here as well, if you get it for pc add me and we'll play.

Alright. Buying it now. And i added you g2. Yeah this game is very addictive. But atm i am at my dads house. So i will be on his labtop till i go home in a few hours. At my house i got my awesome computer. So yeah i should have no problems playing from my home.
Also how hard would Hardmode be to start a fresh character on? Or is it like the PS3. Where i can start my character on a normal mode world then take him to other worlds as i wish?

Definately PC version. Consoles have : less content, and MUCH worse UI (mouse is practically a must for this game). And unless you have a computer made by texas instruments, you can run it.

the ps3 version is essentially the same as the pc except for that the new content since the update. Oh and btw how awesome is that computer?

definetly pc and definetly definetly through steam

My desktop at home can play Tera Online with 30-40 FPS. So im sure it will play this really well. Also got a 50mb cable connection. So ill be alright.
Also i never bought a game from steam before. So if i buy this game. And put it on my dad's labtop. I will be able to go home and put it on my computer also right?

I would say the PC version is far better for the simple fact that you can control it with the mouse. If you are hesitant about this, I promise you will end up liking it more than the standard controller once you get used to it.

that is correct. you just have to download the game everytime your on a different computer. how is terra online? any good?

@2Lamb it's a discussion, you don't have to be so austere...

@Hyper thanks for informing me.

completely unrelated game nothing to do with terraria. Its a wow like MMO with questionable young girl looking characters.

I was just using that game to describe how good my PC at home is. Don't get your panties in a twist.
Since that is one of the Highest end graphic games out atm. And Tera is pretty fun but gets boring really fast.

The game terraria can work properly on your grandmothers computer no offense

I would happily suggest for you to buy the PC version. I do not think you will regret it at all, if you and your wife play often like you said.

The more amazing thing is that you mentioned having more than 1 daughter. If it is 2 daughters, then the PC version has a 4-pack available that will let you all play together also. A family that plays these games together is really awesome.

We are close to the Thanksgiving or Christmas sales time. There is no guarantee that Terraria will be part of it, but if you are willing to wait, you might get it at a lower price. If you prefer to get it now, I think you still will not have any regrets at the regular price, either.

Note that while you can install your Terraria game on several PCs, you can only play one of them at a time. It means that if you family wants to be in Terraria all at the same time, not only will each one of them need their own Steam account, but they will also need their own PC. You can share PCs but just will not have all people on at the same time.

Ultimately, if it still comes back to just you and your wife, then you don't need 4, and just need 2 accounts and machines to run Terraria on it to play together.

Yeah i got 10.01 left on my account and i am about to gift my wife the other copy for her labtop so me and her can play online together. And yeah. We love this game. Very very fun to play 1 player. Will be even better with her building and me cave diving.

To OP; I would suggest getting the PC Version, It allows for easy online play - Simple Host the game and your childern and wife should be able to connect. The PC Version is the orginal platform, and as such, posesses much more content and higher quality work, as evidenced by the Xbox360 Version of the game. Also, the PC Version can run on even a low end computer. By the way, if your on the same Network, You don't have to Portforward to play Terraria Online with your Wife and Kids, You simply have to use the Host and Play option on the Multiplayer Menu in the game. - Sorry if this post seems a bit incoherent, I'm typing this in one sitting...so yeah.
