I can't decide whether to buy Dark Souls 3 for the PC or PS4.

Granted, the PC is probably the superior version, granted it's not an outright shitty port, I can't help but gravitate to the PS4, considering my experiences with Bloodborne and the the original release of Dark Souls (PS3) was pretty positive.

While conversely, PvP has been pretty much a mixed bag on the PC, whether you have rampant hackers, or simply a non-existent community.
>>
>PC is probably the superior version

It's objectively the best version, not probably.

Hackers are not a problem, or if they are it's over-exaggerated by console plebs. Community will be very alive on both PC and PS4.

If you have a shit PC, I'd get it for PS4.
If your friends are all playing it on PS4 and you want to play with them, PS4.

Otherwise PC is the right choice.
>>
I prefer the PS4 version only because you get a true physical release. Otherwise the PC version will be better (until it gets hacked to shit)
>>
PS4k version will be the definitive version.
>>
>>332703682
It's as simple a choice as this OP

>PC for better graphics and performance
>PS4 for a larger/more active playerbase
>>
>>332705019
Getting ps4 for physical. If I like it, I'll buy the pc version when it goes on sale and a good amount of mods are out for it.
>>
>>332703682

If you're a poorfag like me and only have a work laptop and a ps4, get it for ps4.
If you have friends that have ps4s, go ps4.
If you like the ps4 controller more, go ps4.
If you live in Asia or Europe, go ps4.

If you like smoother graphics AND have a pc capable of running it smoothly, go pc.
If you don't live in Asia or most parts of Europe, go pc.

Asia mostly has shit-tier PCs and the ones who can afford to game AAAs usually will have consoles. Europe, depends on where you live.

>over-exaggerated
Idk how true this actually is, especially since yous seem so defensive, but all it takes is a few hackers invading over the course of the entire game to make me rage quit.
>>
>>332705578
I'm not defensive, I'm just telling the truth. I will be getting DkS3 on PS4 because my PC can't run it, but I played Dark Souls on PC and the hackers thing was very exaggerated. In my 150 hrs playtime I only met one invulnerable hacker.

Ah yes the wonders of modern physical releases. A plastic case with a CD/Blu-ray and an advertisement slip where a manual should be.

Why do people care about physical anymore?

>>332706295
>why do people care about a version that DOESN'T have a one-time use activation?
Gee, I wonder why
>>
>>332703682
buy it for the pc. With the ps4k and further incremental upgrades coming in the future, the comfyness of consoles are gone. Oh and 60fps.
>>
>>332705578
120 hours into DS2 without encountering a single hacker. And after experience DaS with 60fps and DaS2 with 60fps, I literally cannot go back to 30 for these games.
>>
>>332703682
>>332705578
>PvP has been pretty much a mixed bag on the PC, whether you have rampant hackers, or simply a non-existent community.

I've seen this a lot lately and I'm sure it's just low tier bait but I'll bite. I was late to DaS on PC but still had no troubles getting summoned or summoning in any halfways populated area. This includes when the game was in GFWL to Steam limbo. As for hackers, I never focused on PvP and I;m sure they exist, but I was never invaded by one.

If you're serious OP, the 60 FPS on PC alone is worth it.

I don't know about you but when I log into my PSN/Steam I can just re-download the entire thing anytime I want.

If I lose my account I lose my game. If I lose my CD I lose my game. Which is easier to recover?

Save your money and buy a better game, simple

this op, dont forget

4k 60fps > 1080p 30fps

like its not even fair for mustards

I've been playing the Japanese version on PS4 and it looks and plays very well so far. I haven't experienced anything too nasty in relation to frame drops but if I had a PC that could run it at 60fps I wouldn't think twice.

That said, it's a fantastic game so I don't think you can really go wrong. I'm playing offline and using google translate so it's interesting to figure things out at times, but it's the most fun and challenging first playthrough of a soulsborne game I've ever had.

Really surprised at how good it is.

yes because every person has a rig capable of running the game at 60 frames and prefers playing on PC over any other platform.

I'll probably be getting the PS4 version because I'm not so huge a faggot that I make my game purchasing decisions based solely on the FPS. Bloodborne is my favorite game of all time and it ran perfectly fine at 30fps. Consequently, the only Souls game to run at a native 60fps is fucking dogshit and the worst in the series by leagues. So fucking off yourself you mustard race faggot.
>>
>>332705578
>but all it takes is a few hackers invading over the course of the entire game to make me rage quit

Keep in mind the occasional hacker will waste your time for a few minutes tops, and then you move on with the game. If this kind of reaction to such an trivial issue is not over-exaggeration, I'm not sure what is.

Not everyone hacks just by obvious methods like infinite hp.

Because brand loyalty cannot see more than 30fps.

ITT PCucks denying there are hackers and cheaters on PC version when at the last thread there were AT LEAST 3 people talking about item duping, techniques to avoid bans, and how nostalgic is was for them to go into X area and kill people with their duped items / other cheating cullshit AKA "funhackers"

Keep the deflection comming guys. No script kiddies on PC at all. at. all.

Sen's fortress is where you have to go next, you should try upgrading your weapon, if you can't anymore find someone to summon, failing that you'll have to git gud.
The skeletons can be put down permanently, you just have to push through to the enemy that is reviving them.
>>
>>332708828
You need to find the necromancer (There's a few of them across the whole area) that's resurrecting them and take him out. Necromancers don't respawn, so you only need to do each one once.

I'm going to get the PS4 version unless people complain about it being really laggy (like they did about blight town). I just can't stand sitting at my computer all day after doing that at work, and would rather lounge on the couch.
>>
>>332708990
No one has denied that they don't exist; they do in most multiplayer games. You just make it out to be a much bigger issue than it really is.

I think what you fail to realize is poor framerate is constant, where as hackers are not. I'm still able to enjoy good PvP at a constant 60 fps on PC, that's something console users can't say the same to.
