PC or Console?

[1derful]

Really enjoyed the first one, I don't care about the graphics. I just want to know if i should wait for console to play with people or if there are still people playing on pc.

any input would be appriciated!

Thank you

Plenty on PC. The level of competency is going to be lower on a console given both the demographic of most players (kids) and the flaws of controllers over a mouse. If vermintide was a purely melee focused game then thumbsticks could wing it a bit better but there are a lot of projectile weapons/tools and thumbsticks are just a handicap.

Game runs like absolute junk on a console. Also with PC, you can at least type to communicate, and use mods.

Plenty of people on PC, and it will have more longevity on PC over console anyways.

If your pc specs meet the recommendations, the pc version is objectively superior due to the extra convenience (and in some cases, aesthetic) that a few sanctioned mods allow. While the mechanics may mean nothing to you as a new player, here's the current catalogue of them.

In playerbase numbers, it ranges in the couple thousands, which is probably still larger than an individual console's playerbase.
