Which platform offers better gameplay?

PC

My girl plays on an xbox because her laptop is too old to run eso and the texture quality is worse than vanilla wow.

I really couldn't live without my add-ons.

Idk on console animation cancelling is a lot more difficult or so I've heard. Also there seem to be more/more inexperienced players there. Just look at how console 1vX montages are flooding YouTube, while pc ones are very rare these days.

A friend of mine, who is an experienced pvper, told me PC NA has a larger number of inexperienced players than EU. He's played both servers on max cp so I think his opinion is educated, but I can't say for certain if this is true.

So to answer your question:

To slay pugs you should probably go to console or pc na, since pc eu has a very hostile environment towards solo players ("smallscale groups", destro trains and massive zergs...also a high number of cheesy specs and tryhards).

For endgame Pve content definitely go pc, since trials are easier to complete with addons. I think pc eu has more raiding guilds but don't quote me on that.

Community has the same flaws and qualities on all servers I suppose.

Hope this helps.

PC master race has moved past 60 fps. 144 fps is the standard for all competitive games these days, but even in single player games, once you experience that smoothness, there is no going back to 60 anymore (it feels like a slide show).

I remember when 60 was considered maximum greatness and 30 was good. Now if mine drops below 60 im like "ughhh, slide show, not interested in playing like this!"

Most probably yes.

And you know what, it would probably be better, since they have to limit the game for consoles.

The fact is that console is an inferior pc, that's what it was meant to be, an easily accessable platform that performs decently enough to be playable, but it will never be nowhere near the performance and utility of pc, even budget pc are better then consoles if you know what you are doing, which you should if you are thinking about buying something.

PC has addons and hardware that can surpass that of consoles.

144 and 4k is kinda difficult to achieve

Joking right? lol I'm sure there would still be die hards playing/paying.

I left pc for ps4 hell of a lot less bugs memory leaks and hardware compatibility issues etc. And players cant use addons to play the game for them so its a nice change.

I feel this is something maybe only some experience? I've never experienced bugs, memory leaks or hardware compatibility on PC. Sounds more like someone with novice PC building experience putting together a PC incorrectly. Or a novice overclocker...

PC is more stable imo. and better graphics.

Add-ons. Do I need to say more.

PS4

Community and communication is utterly fractured on PC. I’ve played both platforms, extensively, and I find better players on console. There’s no substitute for people adept at twitch gaming all on coms. No discord setup. No nonsense. Instant communication. You don’t find that on PC, sorry.

Graphically PC wins, sure. Addons, too—but those are mostly crutches or bandaids for things the game should/will be doing anyhow. But an online game is more than graphics. That said I wouldn’t play the base console versions of this game, they run abysmally.

PS4 will give you the raw ESO experience and in my opinion, it will make you a far better player. If you look for convenience and you're not really competitive then definitely PC for all the add-ons which can help tell when to apply buffs, track your debuffs, where to stand in boss fights, better UI layout with add-ons, easier time lore book and sky shard hunting, 60fps, etc.

You’ll probably get hate for that, but I believe this is unequivocally true. I have every skin and personality from DLC dungeons after two-three weeks of PUGGING and meeting/ chatting/ friending players on console from my switch back about a month ago. GL doing that on PC.

We cleared VSP HM in a *** pug and I three manned non-HM vet with a PVP dps (30K HP) and no healer. I have videos of it all that will go up on my channel soon.

Pc is probably the better option for all the reasons mentioned before, but for pure convenience you cant beat the PS4.

I don’t think consoles hold it back, actually. When there was a PC version only, nothing “held it back”, and it was evolving with same route as it does now.

On normal ps4 the textures look washed out, but since I upgraded to ps4 pro it looks phenomenal.
The only thing I miss from pc are add-ons and EP actually being able to win

Then how come that most of the best players come from pc? How come that pretty much all theorycrafter are from pc, sorry, pc has more information, addons just help you tracking things, you still have to do the timing right, you still have to play, and in any case, im pretty sure that at this point there are buff trackers built in game, so really this addon point is pretty invalid.

How do you even use chat on a console? I assume you bring up some kind of keyboard on your screen and then use a stick to navigate around like a Roku?

For the majority of players, yes, they use the controller to guide a pop-up keyboard.

It's a horrendous system and needs to be removed from the game.

I'd compromise it could stay under two conditions:
1) ZoS implements "/" shortcuts we can customize (25 should be ample, 50 would be best) without having to type the same thing over and over

2) Microsoft creates an actual MMO keyboard. This QWERTY crap needs to go.

And how your “MMO Keyboard” should look like?

Those are a bannable offense, and it just shows that pc has way more things compared to console, both good and bad.

console is a sub par computer with no utility other then games, that's the truth, everytime i hear an argument about why consoles are better, they never talk about how console is actually superior, but rather talk about how pc has some things that are not good, and make it as an argument about why console it's better, although it just shows that computers are more versatile, and you don't really have an argument about consoles, because deep down, you know pc is better..

Pc, has better graphics, better framerate, better utility, more precise controls, do i need to go on?

And by the way, the only reason why consoles don't have those things is because you can't really do that on consoles unless you are someone who is very good with technology, you might take it as a pro, i take it as a sign that you can do a lot less stuff on console.

I have 6 PCs I can do "other" things on as well as game, occupational hazard.
In spite of better specs and performance your hardware doesn't make you a better gamer.
