SargoniousSoul ShrivenMy experience of PC v Console pops has been that console players tend to be quicker to move on to something new, whereas PC players are more "in it for the long haul" type players. Others may disagree, but that is my personal experience.7

Definitely my experience as well. Historically.

✭✭✭✭✭PC players have the ability to artificially inflate their skills by using macros, addons and direct cheating.
Consoles are relegated to whatever the developers give them. This is both a blessing and a curse as you are forced into a level playing field as far as equipment and additions goes.
If you like using addons and/or changing the way the game interface is, or if you prefer a more flushed out UI then PC is the way to go.Tl;dr really weigh the fun you have in game vs the business practices you are supporting.2 -
Chieve✭✭✭I'd say ps4, in hopes you can use the Sony project morpheus with eso when it's released lol
But if you want text chat go pc, it's an area where zos is failing for the ps4Edited by Chieve on September 3, 2015 8:06PMPlease vote in the console text chat thread so ZoS can see how many people want text chat
...and dueling in the dueling thread but personally I want text chat first...0 -

Close the thread cause this is the perfect response. I know the irony of my comment bumping it to the top but Im getting close to 5 stars so stop judging me

✭I suspect both versions have a pretty stable core group who will keep them alive for a long time to come. Right now, the PS4 and Xbox populations are significantly higher than PC, but that will probably drop down and plateau eventually at about the same numbers.0 -

PC vs console
do you prefer sitting hunched over at your computer desk or sitting on your couch watching a 60 inch tv? I played PC for 3 months when it came out. Now I play on xbox one. I like the controller use and relaxed feeling of the couch vs the pc.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Being in both worlds, I definitely value voice chat above text chat.
However, I do miss add-ons. ZOS needs to go the extra distance on the console to improve the console UI.XBox EU/NA:@ElsonsoJannus

You're stuck with the basic game on PS4. Trade becomes a nightmare instead of a fun aspect of the game.
Also check the PS4 support forums before you decide. The PS4 NA server has prolonged outages on a weekly basis with no feedback from support except canned pre-formed emails telling you to check your router, internet,.......etc.
Customer support is non existent for PS4 players. It's really quite frustrating as I love this game.

✭if your computer can handle it you should do PC simply because of addons and text chat vs voice chat. I wish my computer could handle it... the bright side of PS4 are that the movement is better and no ways (that I heard of) for anyone to use outside programs to cheat.PS4 NA

You frequently say this, but I know you are on the same NA server that I am on and I don't have any troubles connecting and staying connected. I am on in the morning almost every day and it is very unusual for the game to be down at that time for other than scheduled maintenance.XBox EU/NA:@ElsonsoJannus

Austacker✭✭✭✭PC. The console port lacks many quality of life features and has no addon support.
LFG tool barely works on any platform but at least on PC you can text chat to find groups.
Without addon support, playing the economy / trading game on console is HORRIBLE.
No question, even with a year's delay the console port blows chunks compared to the PC version.
I played WoW nearly a decade, but I feel like quitting ESO on console already it's that bad.
Not even looking at buying it's first DLC, a first for me in my 10+ years of MMO gaming.Edited by Austacker on September 3, 2015 11:31PM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Graphics and inputs and television size and seating arrangements and audio can be equalized console vs pc
Two things can not:
Addons and text chat.
If you want either of those things play on pc.Edited by yodased on September 3, 2015 11:35PMTl;dr really weigh the fun you have in game vs the business practices you are supporting.0 -
Loomis✭✭✭Been a PC gamer since 1983
A PC MMO player since 1996
This is my first platform MMO as if there are any worth anything anyway except this one.
Couch and bed playing trumps all PC positives combined“There is no pain greater than this; not the cut of a jagged-edged dagger nor the fire of a dragon’s breath. Nothing burns in your heart like the emptiness of losing something, someone, before you truly have learned of its value. Often now I lift my cup in a futile toast, an apology to ears that cannot hear.”

delushin✭✭✭PS4
PC is the beta testing platform
I cant reallt comment as I play NA but historically yes concole players move around hiwever hostorically there hasnt been huge MMO support or options on consoles.
I played PC beta through to release and afterwards for around 6 months waiting for the console version. ESO plays ao well on console it feels like it was designed with that in mind from day one.
This is the game I have been waiting for and its freaking awesome, I am pumped for IC and so much looking forward to smashing trials next weekend.

The only problem with a couch and PC is you need keyboard and mouse and if you happen to use a controller then your at a severe disadvantage in PVP
So as I stated console better for the couch and bed players

Eshelmen✭✭✭✭✭I honestly don't mind the PS4 version, but wouldn't mind checking out the PC side of the game, only because of add ons, better UI and that I can google some *** in between idling , all on one screen.
