Console vs pc version any suggestions?

[| нsт | Victorino Mora]

So I preordred the game about a good 4 months ago on Ps4 edition and recently bought the pc version like 2 days ago. The ps4 version is GOLD Steel book with the dlc and what not and the steam version is just simply the game by itself including the preorder bonus and Stick of Truth. Anyone know the differences between the two or is it just preference at this point?

[side note] I'm most likely not going to be opening my ps4 copy due to it being a steelbook edition but I was thinking of buying it again digital on ps4 so that I could play it on ps4 for the trophies.

Preference, only reason to buy on steam if you want it to be in your library.

Yea that was one of my main reasons, just to have it in my libary and support the creators of southpark. But the achivements not being on steam is kind of a bummer I wanted it to gloat about them.

With Steam you have to wait another few hours whereas with PS4, depending on your timezone, you may have been able to play it as much as 14 hours ago.

Besides that, nothing beyond the usual PC vs console differences. You'll probably be able to get fancier graphics on PC (though how much this matters for a South Park game is very, very debatable) but you won't have to mess around with DRM systems and whatnot on console.

The other factor worth taking to account is, unless you live in the US or Canada, the free copy of Stick of Truth will be censored on console, but not on PC.

I didn't know that the stick of truth was cencored. I already beat it but now own it again, and my ps4 copy is from gamestop so I actually haven't been able to play it becuase gamestop release's the game at 9pm pst which is 1 hour after the steam release. So not much difference in the time I get to play them.

I don't think frames matter in this type of game. But yes they should still be locked at 30fps because the pc version is the same way

It's 60fps.

Also Steam has achivements & trading cards so they'll be backgrounds & emoticons too.
Getting it on Steam, gives you Steam benifits & also Uplay benifits as you have to connect anyway.
Buying on Uplay, you only get Uplay stuff.
I guess you can write reviews, there's a community, screenshots etc too on here.

Yeah, it is. In Australia, Germany, Austria, Taiwan and a few more it's censored on all platforms; in the US and Canada it isn't censored on any platform. Everywhere else, it's censored (though not to the same extent as the Aus / Ger / etc version) on console but uncensored on PC; this censorship only affects the abortion and anal probe minigames, unlike the censorship in "all platforms censored" regions which from what I hear is a bit stronger (I don't know the exact details, apart from that the Nazi references are all removed).
