PC or PS4?

[RubTheDuck]

I bought God Eater 2 during a Steam sale and absolutely loved it but was way past the game release date so I was one of the few left playing it making it hard to find a group online.

So I want to buy God Eater 3 right on release and am wondering if it would be better on PC or PS4?

My PC is infinitely better than the PS4 but I do want an active community so...?
here are a few questions I have:

Does the PS4 have the same graphics/fps as the PC version?
Will either version be censored?
I assume the PS4 version will have the larger community, correct?
Will it run well on PC?
Any other advantages/disadvantages for each?

Any help is appreciated.
Thank you very much for your time.

here you can see pc graphic settings ( in 2:50 )

and no ps4 doesn't have same graphics/fps of pc
if ps4 is high pc is ultra settings and pc supports 60fps and so
no censored stuff
yes ps4 has larger community and games like this will take longer to die there
there might be connection problems for first week but they will patch it
but surely the patches are faster for ps and maybe delay for pc like one week
ps4 version requires you to have plus to play online

ah i forget
because pc doesn't need plus or anything to play the players who are fan will stay loyal and play it a lot and will open the game anytime you ask for their help
i got a lot of friends on GE2-GE1 and they join me with one message " I AM GENJI I NEED HEALING "

Well, try the game on pc, you can refund it before 2 hours up. See if it works well, players etc. If its not good just switch over to ps4.

I also can't decide if PS4 or PC.

I've played GE2RB on PS4 and it worked well.
Switched to PC, cause the 60fps just looked too awesome in combination with the aragami movement.

But then came the problems:
- many people reported cutscene problems on PC (I can't confirm since I watched everything on PS4 and it worked well)
- there was (AND STILL IS!!!) a music bug that stops some songs from looping and I had to find with some other people a solution
- you can't move while in the pause menu (doesn't sound like much, but I used this "feature" very often on PS4 and it bugged me to hell and back that it doesn't work on PC
- partikle effects disappear behind the skybox, what results in invisible enemy-attacks (also not fixed...)
- people said that the projectile speed is doubled on PC, maybe cause of the 60fps (haven't noticed it cause I'm too blind for such a bug... but wouldn't be the first game that suffers such a fate)


So yeah... I don't know.
I've still had so much fun with the PC version, but overall, it's just broken compared to the PS4 version and never was fixed.

If you own GE2, then PC.
20% off + 5% off with piggy coupon, that's quite a deal.

... Bandai did got better at ports since GE2, I hope ?

Actually, 70% of the reviews are positive.
Also, releasing a flight game without HOTAS support... it was obvious some people were going to be angry at that.

don't forget we are getting GE3 in same time with consoles so the patches may be faster than GE2

it was 70% negative day one
and they can use third party software for hotas to work perfectly but they are too toxic to do anything

These games will never be big enough to the point that you would be able to find lots of people.
Monster Hunter being somehow the exception.
Maybe in 10 years when this genre is more common you will find more people... but now...
Don't expect too much.

... oh yeah, blame the customers when a game lacks what should be an obvious feature when releasing a flying combat sim on PC.


It didn't stopped the game to sell anyway. It enjoyed some time at the top selling charts :

And have a pretty good number of players when you consider this kind of game is quite niche, all things considered.

As long as your game is awaited, niche, and big enough, just because the review score is low doesn't mean the game won't sell.

never mention AC games as a sim

PC - because when you play GE with 60 fps (did it with GE2RB) - i cant go back :)

[<\ster?]

The demo is still available in PS4 store. I tried it yesterday and the graphics are not that good. PC is better.

True.
I prefer playing it on PC but if the performance is bad, I'll just switch to PS4. Since my PC is older than PS4.
