I have no preference for either. Whichever works for me. My PC is fully capable of running it on its best settings, or I can use PS4.

 

Does anyone have any opinions on the subject that could sway me either way?

 

Also; Deluxe or regular?

[Kevin Lynch]

Personally, even though I'm PC all the way, the controls on the PC aren't the friendliest if you use keyboard/mouse. This game benefits from a controller, and so the PS4 might be the best route unless you want to use a controller on your PC.

 

I'd recommend the regular version of the game unless you want the few extra in-game items and/or play multiplayer. For me, it was the obvious choice to go with regular this time. They should have tossed in free upcoming DLC or something.

I can only speak from the PS4 arena here, but by and large it appears that the PS4 version of the game is quite solid and has not been having any of the major issues that have been reported elsewhere.  PC issues have boiled down to control issues and whether or not the rig is meeting the requirements of the game - for the most part.  Playing on the PS4 (just over 20 hours now) - I have only had very minor bugs/glitches happen here and there which have been easily overlooked.

Idk why people say the PC controls aren't good. I love them.

[Maverick827]

My PC is fully capable of running it, too, but it doesn't.

I just bought a PS4 copy because my PC performance was so bad.

Don't get the Deluxe edition. It's extremely underwhelming. You get some horses, a throne, and....... You know, I can't even remember all of it. Just save your extra ten bucks.

 

As for the console of choice, if you're at all into the idea of modding, always go PC. If you're not inclined to mod, just go console. Consoles seem to be favored by EA, and are more likely to get support.

It really is too bad that they have not been able to determine a way to interlock modding games into the console world because that would be amazing.  There have been some amazing looking mods I have seen in other games and this is one area where the consoles leave a big gaping hole.  I mean, if I am investing 90 hours into a game on a console to make it through once - I really have no genuine urge to go through that again just because some of the choices I make may change things a bit.  (Haven't made that call yet with DA:I - but my own history tells me I likely won't)  Whereas, if I were able to MOD my console game and not only change the decisions I was making, but also changing the landscape of the entire game; I would have no problem whatsoever taking a break from it for a moment and then returning for another round or two.

 

Seeing as all consoles - aside from Nintendo - are operating with installed hard drives now - and fully upgradeable to mammoth levels - I am surprised that there hasn't been any sort of dabbling into making that a real option for consoles to experience.

Well, you could try PC and play with a controller.  Controller on PC works perfect, feels like a console, not PC.  PC you can run a few things to make it look even better, SweetFX for one, and future mods.  If your PC cannot handle it, or you are having some serious problems, then just refund it and buy it for PS4.

It's because the console manufacturers are appealing to a different audience than PC software developers.

 

The appeal of a console is a fair playing ground. You don't have to worry about upgrading parts so your game will play; it's guaranteed to play, because you own the console. It has the same software for everybody. Online interactions are (or should be) mod free. This gives them the advantage in sales because so many people don't want to "deal with" computers-- which happens to be the same reason I can easily get hired for my computer knowledge alone. People who don't normally deal with computers on more than a casual need feel less threatened by console gaming, so they typically gravitate toward it. I have far more friends who own an Xbox than friends who own a gaming rig.

 

Essentially, offering the tools to modify the software would defeat this purpose, and thus the most significant difference between PCs and consoles. There's no reason to do that unless the majority of people become comfortable with PCs in the same way that they are with Xboxes and Playstations. If one wants to mod, one should just invest in a PC.

If your PC can handle it, you should just get it for PC.

Unless you have more friends on PSN who can play the DA:I multiplayer with you.

Oh, I was a strict PC player for years, so I am well-versed in the MOD scenario and fully realize that it is missing in the console world.  I fell off the PC market because it just got to be too damned expensive to keep up.  Seemed like, for a long while at least, every new game that came out required a great deal more than the one that had come out just a couple of months beforehand.  To me, it began feeling like a money pit that was always going to be nagging at me to keep feeding it my hard earned money.

 

I need that money man!  For... beer, Jack Daniels, and the occasional Taco Bell run!

[Natureguy85]

That depends on how patient you are, and how good your PC is. If you have a good computer, PC will be superior, but right now there are many people complaining of technical issues and poor optimization, so you may need to wait for further patches and drivers.

Interesting because I see it the opposite. Initial cost aside, I've spent less money upgrading my computer than I would buying new consoles. And the computer has other uses.

[TanithAeyrs]

I bought both. PC version for me, and I haven't had any real problems, only a few minor bugs, mouse and keyboard controls are a little rocky with tac cam, but not enough to really bother me. Graphics are gorgeous on PC, am running a Nvidia 760 GTX and have most everything set on high or ultra. Bought PS4 version for hubby and kids, but they will have to wait, PS4 is going to be family Christmas gift.

I do like using my gaming mouse for abilities, the keypad on he side is very handy when I don't want to pause or use tac cam on an easier fight.

[DemGeth]

Yeah been running the same hardware a couple years now.  Might change soon in that more vram than i have is getting to be standard compared to when i put my rig together.  Figure that cost 800 for parts originally but with the cheaper games and the fact i needed a pc anyways saved quite a bit of kit.  

 

My two cents.

 

Plus PSN meh. 

[Maverick827]

As someone who owns both and has compared the tutorial on both tonight, this is where I now stand:

 

PC Pros:

 

1.  I can play it on a higher resolution, with higher textures, and probably overall higher settings.  This means that the average picture quality is higher than on the PS4.  It's not much higher, mind you. But the things that were bothering me even on the PC (face textures, etc.) are just that much more noticeable on the PS4.

 

2.  Hotbar.  Most other controls are better for the PS4, but the hotbar will always win.

 

3.  Quick save!

 

4.  Potential mods, console commands, cheats, etc.  The likelihood of mods is low.  Console commands might be more probable.

 

5.  Faster updates?  I'd assume the PC version will be patched more quickly than the consoles.  There's also the possibility of the PC getting DLC first if only because of the console certification process or other console issues.  Remember what happened to Skyrim's PS3 DLC?

 

PS4 Pros:

 

1.  More stable framerate.  Though the picture quality isn't as high, it's pretty close.  Proportionally, at least for my machine, the picture quality : performance ratio is currently in the PS4's favor.

 

2.  Most controls are better on the PS4.  Movement, tactical, etc.  You can even walk!

 

3.  I can play in bed, and the average gamer is more likely to have a PS4 set up in a comfy place than a computer.

 

4.  I'm going to put the framerate one down twice because it's just so important.  I guess you could just say, overall, not having to worry about hardware and performance is such a huge relief that it's worth two spots on the list.

 

5.  It's hooked in to all of that PSN stuff, if you're into it.  My friend will also be playing the game on the PS4, so keep that in mind if you have friends playing it and are interested in multiplayer at all.

 

I'm actually really torn on the issue.  I was planning on being neck-deep into the game by this time tonight, but I have still yet to really start it because I can't make up my mind.

My PC is fully capable of running it, too, but it doesn't.

I just bought a PS4 copy because my PC performance was so bad.

I can see where people are coming from with the control issues for kb/m but honestly after about 30 minutes i got used to them and it hasn't bothered me since. The only gripe I really have about controls is the having to get super close in order to loot things. And even then, it's not a big enough issue with me that it ruins anything. It's just "eh, kind of annoying." But of course, thats' just my opinion.

[archav3n]

The game is super smooth for me. I'm using R9 290 only. 50-60fps on 1440p most of the time. Everything High/Ultra with post processing low and no AA. With my high res 1440p i don't need AA and i hate motion blur or DOF.

 

Also on PC you can currently UNLOCK the cap 30FPS on cutscenes. I've unlock it, it's super smooth.

I was referring to the poor performance I get when I should get so much better.

[FrontlinerDelta]

Agreed. Sure there was a brief learning curve where I had to change my habits from DA:O and DA2 but after that it's been very smooth. Also I have great performance. 

[MetalGear312]

You should go with PS4. The way I hear it, the PC UI is clustered, and that the mouse and keyboard setup is shoddy. I suppose if you had a controller for your PC you could try and use that. As for deluxe versus regular. You might like the soundtrack, and the armor and weapons are pretty good looking. Other than that, the deluxe edition is mostly for posterity if you ask me. I bought deluxe on Xbox and it hasn't disappointed.

Fair point, I got DA:O on PC and while it took a while to get used to the controls, I think I've been able to manage thus far.

Hold on you are playing on a console.

[myahele]

I'd say PC due to potential fan mods/patches

[ysoserious]

pc for me got both pc and ps4 but graphics alone make it a dealbreaker!. but I do build pcs for a living.and to be honest a lot of the later [don't have to be latest] rigs run the game really well.

keyboard issues ?? I don't have them.and anyone who uses it a lot wont have..and the beauty is... you can always plug in a controller.

 

couple of tips for pc people:...

check whats running in the background.. theres usually a few things running you don't need...ie Skype msn etc etc...all take cpu resouces up.

also check your anti virus  is in game mode if it has it.. cuts cpu resources down again.

 

finally for the AMD/ATI card user:;  use mantle settings in game instead of dx11..its bloody amazing and fast!!!......a few tips there.

 

but im not knocking the ps4 version its very good too. but pc all the way for quality
