Metro Redux: PC V. Console

[JIG2000]

Should I get the Metro Redux bundle for PC or Console? The reason why I ask is because there are some games I've tried (ex. Half-Life 2) on console, but I found the PC version to be superior in terms of fluency of controls and vice versa. What do you guys think?

I've played both (PS4 and PC) and they're pretty equal. The PS4 version is 1080p at 60fps and I didn't notice any hitches. If you're fine playing a first person shooter with a controller, there's nothing wrong with Metro's controls on console. I didn't notice any difference in terms of graphical effects other than PhysX being an option on PC. Although I turned that off anyway because I didn't find it to be worth the big performance hit.

Of course on PC you can play with higher resolution and frame rate. I'm playing at 1440p and the fps stays around or above 80. Also you can alter the game files to increase the fov on PC (no in game option.) but the game is playable at the standard fov since that's clearly what it was designed for. Some people can get motion sick with a lower fov, although I think playing with a controller and sitting back on a couch away from a tv rather than close to a monitor alleviates that problem quite a bit.

So yeah, I'd recommend PC for a higher resolution, frame rate and fov if your PC can handle all that. Plus I much prefer playing first person shooters with a kb+m. But if you don't care about those things or you're not sure your PC can run these games or you have another reason why playing on a console is preferable to you. The console version is totally fine IMO.

Depends on your PC. If your specs are crap, stick with a console version. The console version is somewhere between high and very high at 60fps.

PC is the best version if you can run it.
