l33tmaniac Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 So, I need suggestions on which platform to buy this for. I am basically a sucker for physical discs and like having them in my collection. I have a PS4 Pro, Xbone X and a good specced out gaming PC. Here are my arguments for getting on each platform 1. PS4 - Cheapest. It's retailing for 1900 rn and I can easily sell off if I don't like it. Cons: Not as good as Xbox. 2. Xbox - Best performing console version (on X anyway), but costs 3k. Cons: Not good resale value. 3. PC - Possibility of best visuals and 60fps gameplay. Cons: Download only. Costs 3.2k and takes up 150GB on drive.

PS4 - The resale value might be good but it's the least in performance, If you're a sucker for physical discs and collections you wouldn't have to bother with resale (if you don't like that's the whole another matter) look at the gameplays first and decide later. Xbox - Yes best on console performance but you can have more details in DF videos, there are minor dips on cinematic sequences and intense scenes. PC - Now that you have awaited till now then wait for sometime, yes you'll get the best experience on PC without a doubt. Let the PC review flow especially by DF. I feel the 150GB or even a 100GB hurts more on consoles than on PC. I have 2 TB space so it won't matter much imo. For resale, you can share with multiple friends and divide the cost, it stays with you forever for replayability at-least on STEAM you can, the game is huge and won't be finishing it in 2-3 sitting. Also MODS will enhance the gameplay. Better download speeds and all but those are secondary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven Angel Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Horrible experience on PS4. You might as well skip and wait for sale on PC or get it gifted from cheaper store. It won't be 150 GB either. Will be 70-80 GB download and 70-80 GB to decrypt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go for the PC version now that you're this close to its release. You'll probably regret getting the console version when you see 60fps PC gameplay start popping up everywhere. The difference will be massive and IMO definitely worth the extra money. And as DF has pointed out in their video, there is a possibility of getting reduced input lag in the PC version, which will make the controls much less cumbersome. Wait till December for the steam version. By then you'll get a good idea of what the PC port is like. Try it out for 2hrs and if you're not convinced, then you can get it refunded and go for the console version if you'd like. And not sure if you already know but the console versions take up around 100 GB on the hard drive as well. Also, is it confirmed we will not be getting a physical edition for PC here? We did get it for GTAV. Edited October 21, 2019 by STICK3Rboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that I'd' love for it to be on discs and the PS4 price-point seems really tempting. My 500GB SSD will be crying if this continues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact I could sell it off with just 300rs hit was a major benefit considering I hated everything about the game outside of visuals. Man I'd be pissed if I had spent 3k+ on a digital version.

The game is so up its a*s about realism that it majorly gets in the way of doing repeated mundane tasks. The mission structure is also very restrictive and requires you to play in a very specific manner. For all its modern technical advancements, R* is still stuck in GTA3 when it comes to story mission design. I gave it some 10-12 hours before calling it quits. The story might get better later, but I was honestly done with the tedium. It wasn't going to play any better after 30 hrs. Just an example of what I'm talking about.

I read about the sluggishness due to input lag even during launch. In that case, I think I'll wait and see if it's fixed in the PC release. If not pick up later at a discount.

The retail price is 2100 and I have 200 coins to use. You can get it for the same price (if you have an SBI card and net cart amount is >3k) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyoyaHibari Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 It’s takes like 100gb on ps4 even if you have disc. Takes a lot of time too, plus patches etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played the game to completion on PS4 (the slim version, note even pro), over 100 hours, it was nowhere as bad as you're suggesting. There's some sluggishness in character movement, but other than that, I didn't find anything distracting. It did take a lot of space though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrible experience would be control PS4 pre patch combat encounters. Clocked in 50+ hours and only fps problem i noticed was in saint dennis. And that too was nothing major.

I've only been holding off because of performance concerns. Pretty good. It was already mostly fixed but they just dropped another patch couple of days ago that should smooth things further. I'd still wait for BF sale or grab it for below 2k locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played it on the Pro, and it was a smooth experience. Didnt have any issues whatsoever, except the crazy loading time it takes on Rockstar games. As far as storage goes, it takes up 120 GB, but I use a 3TB external HDD on my system so its not really a problem. @l33tmaniac I like having the physical editions too. If you like the game enough from gameplay videos, get it on the Pro. I dont think the dip in performance from the One X is worth the extra cash you'll have to spend. And if you dont like it you can always resell it. You could resell it and get the PC edition later if you wanted to as well. Edit: I see people had problems with the game, but I liked it, I played through the whole thing, and I plan to even replay this year.

Ne0 Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) ^^ Same here, I enjoyed the game to the hilt, the first 1-2 hours were a little hard , mainly due to the slow start, but it picks up really well after that. The quests in chapter 3 , especially that one near the end of chapter 3 , where [hide] dutch's gang ride to the braithwaite manor [/hide] was one of the finest moments in gaming ! PC trailer looks good, any idea the config of the rig reqd to run it at 60 FPS ? Edited October 22, 2019 by Ne0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the PC trailer, if one has a rig that can run it, it would be awesome, else, better to get the discounted version ! Bro I guess you were trying to hide the spoiler but I can see it. But yeah, that one was amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
