Is the pc version better than console?

[tetrified]

No, but I think it only comes down to what someone's home setup is like and playing through the methods they find the most comfortable. 

 

I'm just honestly confused because it seems like you're saying "one possible option is for me to cheat, therefore this game is no longer an uncompromising survival game"

 

I mean my computer is plugged into the TV and I use a bluetooth keyboard from across the room, so I can see where you're coming from on the home setup thing, but the whole thing I was confused about from the beginning, namely this

 

Depends on the experience your looking for.  The console version is where the tagline "uncompromising wilderness survival" is actually true.  PC is great if you just want to mess around (mods, console commands, the most ridiculous world settings).  I think both versions have value.

Then there is DST coming to PC first, but that's like a different game.   

 

just isn't making any more sense to me.

 

It honestly seems like the post says that it's impossible to not use console commands or mods or ridiculous world settings on PC and console is the only place where you can get the "true" don't starve experience, so we should value the console for that, and PC is just for messing around.

 

It's just confusing, because in my opinion, the only value the console has over the PC is the accomplishrine (god I want a dozen or so in my main world, why, Klei, why don't you add them?)

I can't speak for DeadpanQuinkan, but I think I understand. There is a certain kind of purity with the console version since the only customization available is to make the game harder. The PC version right out of the box is technically identical, but you can cheat at any time.

 

This sentiment is not fully rational, admittedly. But I never expect full rationality from my monkey brain.

 

(This discussion reminds me of that important difference between the two versions: in the Steam version you can tune the difficulty up or down by tweaking the world settings, whereas on the console version you can only make it harder that way.)

Just a problem I have.  Sometimes I just couldn't be any worse at trying to expressing my points.

I honestly can't say I see where you're coming from, but live and let live, I guess. And I don't think Klei can complain about you giving them more money

tetrified--agreed! I think my best recommendation is BOTH! It's a reasonably-priced game and they totally deserve it. It has far more depth than many of the $70 games I play!

Actually, this is very true. I'm nearing 200 hours in it, which is really more than I put into most $50-$70 games.

For me its simple: 1-MOOOODSSSS!!!  2-Mouse/Keyboard use.Personaly i fell more freedom with this than a gamepad.

Please don't make same topic

well....

if you want a better experience, play the PC

if you want a challenge, and better controls, play the console.

Heh.

[delete accoun]

Heh.

 

heh?

[epicpie72]

PC all the way in my opinon.

[Rosten]

heh?

I was just pointing out that the notion of a console having better controls is just short of laughable. While it may come down to a matter of opinion, a mouse and keyboard give far more precise control than a console controller could ever hope to have, part of the reason the Minecraft experience is worse on console is because building large structures becomes a chore with the arguably harder to use control interface. Of course, if you still believe that controllers are better, you can simply hook one up to your computer and use it as the gamepad.

i guess, but you should feel the PS4 controller on DS man, it feels gud.
