I personally don't like the Switch at all, and prefer the PC version by far. However if you want to support the devs and you have the money to, buying it both is a good way to do that.

Switch if you want to play it on the go

For about 4 hours maybe :/

Depends. Do you feel like supporting Nintendo's delusion that they need their own gimmicky console in order to be successful?

If you want to play the game on your couch and on the go buy it for Switch. Though the M+K control scheme is hard to beat imo. I prefer this way of playing it so even if I owned a Switch I would choose PC. What do you value the most?

You can still play on the couch with PC, and, well, laptops. Better battery, etc.

It obviously isn't the same thing though. Switch is a console and thus has the perk of being more immediate and I would assume that the portable mode of Switch would be more practical to carry around than a laptop (also, maybe the OP doesn't have one).

Also the "on your couch and on the go" comment was more hinted at the hybrid nature of the console, not to say that you can't play "on the couch" with the PC. Then again, not even this possibility is to be taken for granted. I for one couldn't play PC from my couch because the couch is in a different room.

What do you mean "It's moore imediate". A PC is effectively a larger (sometimes) more powerful console. It's easy to plug into the TV as you would a console.

First, I don't know why you're speaking to me like I don't know what I'm talking about/what a PC for gaming is.

Secondly, I have both a PC and a PS4. Most of the time I play on PC, which is almost always on during the day for various reasons. If both happen to be turned off, it's quicker to turn on the PS4 and just play. I reckon that it would be the same with a Switch. There are also other reason why console is "more immediate" than PC, but since I suppose they're well known reasons and the only ones (except for exclusive games) that drive a person to choose a console over the PC in spite of the latter's customizability, greater power, modding capabilities and so on, I don't believe it's necessary or pertinent to the topic to explain them.

Third, I'm done answering here, since the OP wanted just a simple opinion and (likely) not to sit through a "console vs PC" ordeal.

I mean, there's also the fact you can play for more than 2 hours at a time on PC without it dying, plus there are PC's that are as small as briefcases and still powerful, making them portable and powerful sooo.

just bought the game here because there was a 50% off here but not in the eshop.. XD
so it was kinda unanimous or how u say it.
Quaz Dec 22, 2017 @ 5:37am 
Unanimous. And it means that everyone voted for the same thing, so it's the wrong word anyway xP
