PC/Steam or PS4

[NinoDonDino]

i would be interested in knowing if i should get the sword art online games on PC/Steam or on PS4?

Does someone had experience with both?

[NightmareHollow]

Base price of PC version with ALL DLC equipment and story/Gameplay expansions bundled together is cheaper but people reported that they were having controller issues, which are apparantly solved by using controller settings in Steam's big picture. not sure which has more active Multiplayer though as I havent tried PC version myself

[NinoDonDino]

So basically Pc has a better Value since it has all stuff that ps4 has and is 49,99 instead of 79,99 ?

Besides that i would probably play it more like a single player game and wouldnt use the multiplayer... especially not on ps4 since i dont like to play for ps+

[NightmareHollow]

you'd probably be better off getting it here then

Alright thanks. Besides does the Sword Art Online games have an Order and does they spoil stuff of Anime? or are they all seperate? I just started watching the Anime and and finished Season 1 Arc1 and i really liked it thats why i got interested in the Games now.

I just recently bought Sao hollowpoint and from what I read, it takes place after the events of sao season 1, I recommend just watching the anime first then play the games in case there are spoilers

you mean with hollow point Hollow Fragment?

What i'am also wondering, is in the Deluxe edition the White Swimwear and the Wedding Dress included or is this PS4 only ?

you can watch up to Season 1 Episode 14 if you just want to get the general gist of Hollow Fragment's story. you can watch beyond that if you want some light on certain characters. If you're keeping an eye on SAO: Fatal Bullet, then you might want to go as far as the Phantom Bullet Arc (first Arc of Season 2) or wait for the Gun Gale Online spinoff later this year

Well i liked Season 1 Arc 1... the Anime was way different then i accepted but i really liked it... so i will watch Season 1 Arc 2 then the Extra Edition and then Season 2. Because i really want to play all the Sword Art Online Games after watching the Anime so far.

Pretty much for co-op Grinding and farming, or a poorly balanced PvP mode. The latter isn't worth it, while the former depends on whether you're pretty social and like helping others and being helped or if you need to team up for better gear. There's at least a Solo "Multiplayer" which is just False Multiplayer that you can simulate with your AI partners shadowing as other players.

i haven't played on PS4 but from what i can tell theres very few differences, also, i susspect a lot of the "controller issues" are just people with pirate copies dispite the amount of protest otherwise (except maybe in a few rare situations) i say this because i tried a pirate copy first to see if my potato could even run the game (turns out the Req's are MASSIVELY inflated), plenty of trouble getting a controller to work with that, but, after buying the game and installing the legit version, my wireless xbox 360 controller magically worked with no big picture mode bs or anything, the story seems to be the same for everyone i've talked to that had run a pirate copy and now owns the legit version.

yes you get the DLC items like the wedding dress etc.

the only thing i can really say is that, if you're buying this expecting a pc game, you are being ripped off pretty badly, keybinding and general keyboard controls are a complete and utter joke, this game was very clearly designed for consoles, and this is a very obvious console port, i do love the game, but the current price tag on it leaves me feeling a bit ripped off, as any other game that i have bought at that price for pc has been far more polished as a PC game.

(edit: also worth noting that i came across a couple bugs and the game crashed a bit with the pirate copy, none of which i've encountered since buying/installing the legit copy, which isnt that surprizing but worth saying something about.)

Thanks for the Answer. Well RPG/JRPG i always play with Controller feels just better to play then mouse and keyboard.

Yeah if a price tag is fair or not is always a big discussion, at the end it all personal preference.

Is that even a question you should be asking? PC > Any console.
