Should I switch from PS4 to PC?

I love the lazy factor with the console version. Sit back and be a casual.

But yea the max 30fps and then drop to *** 5fps in small skirmishes like *** 10v10 is infuriating. I just took a bunch of wtf footage on my ps4 and the fps and latency in horrible during group fights. I shield charged a target and my character just stood running in place, the enemy died, I ran to their dead body and just started running in the same spot with my shield up for several seconds, while everyone else was continuing to fight. Then my character started a flurry of 5 light attacks in what seemed like half a damn millisecond. That's some weird *** to happen on a high production game.

I can do without the mods but the absence of a chat window for console bewilders me.

I feel like I'm answering this question myself, but what are the cons of PC? Does it suffer from the same bs or other game breaking issues cause I'll just switch over to another game if I can't enjoy some fluent realm combat.

    If u have the hardware, make the jump and compare for urself.

    I prefer Xbox one but PC has a lot more to offer.
    Don't forget if it's only due to text chat, it's coming to consoles in some form this year

    the only con for pc compared to console i could foresee is,youd have to start over and find new friends/guilds/groups.

    Well, I played on the PC/Mac for over a year before taking advantage of the "account copy" option and moving over to the PS4.

    Aside from some degraded graphics, for obvious reasons, there isn't much difference in gameplay between PC/Mac and the consoles. You're still going to suffer from horrendous lag spikes, odd animations and so on. On top of that, you will also have to deal with the hacking that occurs on the PC/Mac side of the ESO equation.

    All of that said, though, Percept, you have to do for yourself what you feel is right. That's the bottom line.

    I just don't understand how players can function in big sieges. Like a nightblade jumped into our grp and bursted 2 people.

    How the hell do his abilities work and I get stuck in the same animation for 5 seconds when I try to do stuff lol. Is there some hidden setting?

    I'm dling the PC version atm. Gonna check it out again tomorrow.
