Kharneth Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I bought this game for PS4 and absolutely love it. I'm going to buy the DLCs later after completing the island. I'm wondering if I should return the game and get it on PC because I imagine it's an all around better experience. Is there a compelling enough reason to switch from console to PC? If anyone has experience with playing on both systems I'd enjoy hearing specific things that make PC better and anything about PC that's worse.

Zahlea Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I only have experience on PC, but the amount of shortcut keys and performance needed as well as how FPS steering is easier with keyboard+mouse, my guess is the experience is better on PC if you have a good enough PC to run the game smoothly at high graphics settings.

mecandbuttons Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 As a PS4 user I say go to PC. I'd do it for the mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaiks Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 PC: - Better performance - Better graphics - MODs - Keyboard + mouse combo . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kharneth Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Thanks for the responses, those are helpful. New way of asking: Would you recommend this game for PC if the player was going to use a controller to play on PC? If the driving reason is the mouse/keyboard than I'm just not ready lol.

MooseX Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 PC, Pros; awesome graphics capabilities, better control, MOD's... Con's: Expensive, biggest con for me would be PC gaming equals=cheaters... In the end all depends on how much budget you are willing to spend on a good PC gaming rig. Myself I went with a PS4 Pro with 1TB SSD drive, I use a keyboard on it for chatting and inputting admin commands. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doceproce Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 for the simple fact of being able to implement the hardware without doubt PC. the consoles are great, and much cheaper, but it is still not possible to implement new processors or memory, I have ps4 I have the additional cost of PSN to be able to play connected, I think in the PC does not have this additional cost. other, now we have 8k tv, will my ps be compatible?

doceproce Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I believe that if you have some time you can still configure a good game control for bluetooth on the pc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRichards Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I actually bought this game for ps4 and played pretty much since launch on ps4 (several big breaks in that time, but played a lot) I actually just bought this for pc about 2 months ago, it is better on PC i only play official, so the lag spikes are virtually the same, no diff there, but i can actually fly over peoples bases and over the redwood forests now without stopping to wait for things to load and/or game crash If you have a gaming pc already, i'd just buy ark for it next time its on sale, i bought it during a sale for like 20 bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForzaProiettile Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 PC for the full experience. XBOX if you are poor or unable to use a keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
