Best for PC or console?
Hi there :)
I'm thinking about getting this game, but is it worth it on PC or are the console versions better?

PC vs PS4/Xbone, they are the same, except for PC has better graphics if your computer can handle it. PC vs Xbox360/PS3, PC is better because Xbox36/PS3 versions don't have the nemesis system in the game.

PC. Because it scales with your hardware. In a few years when you upgrade your PC, the game will look and run better. Where as on Console it will always look and run the same. There's also the chance someone will redo textures for an alternate HiRes pack.

A lot of people use couch gaming as an excuse for consoles. But most PCs now hook up just fine to TVs and support gamepads. I just don't see the appeal other than console exclusive games. And no game is worth dropping hundreds of dollars for.

Get it on the PC and play it with a gamepad. You can even hook up your PC to your TV and play in big picture mode if that is what you want.


Personally i am playing it on PC with gamepad. (Although i am three times as fast with the power if i am using M+K )

If your system can run it then buy it for your pc, but you better check EVERYTHING on your system to make sure it can. Many people thought they had a directx 11 compatible video card and they did not. So look at all requirements for game and google your video card to check it's compatibility BEFORE purchasing game. On console you don't have to worry about it.

If u have a good PC build, the PC versions are usually always better graphically.

Problems that are happening to a very small group of people, the vast majority are having no problems.

To bad the save game problem isn't happening to more people, then it would be easier to find the bug and fix it, but the problem is happening to few people that it is hard to find where the problem is.

Also I would say if you don't know computer's much then don't get it for the pc, if you don't have problems with this game then you will with some game down the line, and there are not refunds when it comes to pc games/software. On a game console you can get a refund if you purchase game used. Me I play on both. On this and other games any time I have a problem I fix it my self, but I have been fixing and diagnosing computer problems for 35 years. If you have to ask how do I look up my computer specs?, buy the console version.

Not only does the game look a lot better on PC, the controls are also absolutely smooth. Maybe it does feel a little bit better with a gamepad, but mouse and keyboard just works very fine. I personally played 26 hours on the PC and had not a single bug or problem with the game itself.
PC tfw!

This...PC gaming is all well and good but if your not that savvy with its tech and you run into issues then you have a problem, considering how beautiful and smooth this runs on ps4 i would go for the consul version if i wasn't to sure of what made a PC tick.
