Dark Souls 3 Console Vs Pc

Avatar image for thejke

I am worried about getting this game for the PC. The minimum specs require a nvidia 750 TI, while I accept a nvidia 660 TI. I know that my card is more powerful than the minimum spec one, but information technology is older. I am worried considering I ran into a problem with the last game I purchased, But Cause 3. The minimum spec for that game was a 670, just alee of what I have. The game would crash after a couple minutes, even though the game was running at a decent frame rate on medium settings. I tried many things to fix information technology only nothing worked. I then contacted support for the game, just they said they could not aid me because my carte was below the minimum spec. I am worried that something similar might happen with Dark Souls 3. Austin said that he is able to run the game fine on a 760, which should be adequately similar if non less powerful than my card, but I could run into issues with it not existence optimized for my card, causing crashes.

Do you think I will exist ok playing this game on PC, or should I become the PS4 version?

Become the PC version on Steam, if it doesn't run well enough, go a refund and then buy the PS4 version.

This is great advice honestly. I was planning to stick with the PC version since that's what I've done for the residue of the series, but I'grand questioning how 3 will run on my current rig.

Be aware of the fact that if you do get it on PC and you enjoy PVP so that feel might get soured every bit there is quite a bit of hacking that eventually leaks into these games and is poorly policed (i.e. non at all).

Other than that the above advice is quite sound as long equally you don't mind the hassle of going through a refund process. This is the beginning Souls game I plan to play on PC mostly considering I want that better framerate and if the online gets hacked to hell I won't care much as this is probably the least excited I've ever been for a Souls game to date.

I got invaded yesterday on PC past someone who killed me before I was even born. Vote Trump to ensure this never happens again.

PS4. Customs is larger, and concluding's a lot longer. No hackers too. I besides enjoying playing the version that was the creators vision. The animations look off at 60 fps. Playing these loftier production value triple AAA games hunched upwardly on a 20 inch monitor isn't the way to experience these games the first time IMO. Reviews playing on 2 Titans SLI had slow downs, and crashes. If yous have to get the PC version the communication above is good. If you're not happy with it go PS4.

I forgot almost refunds on Steam, probably considering I haven't used it nevertheless. I volition give it a try. I couldn't get a refund on Just Cause three because I purchased a steam key from elsewhere. I will hopefully have the money to upgrade my PC once the new nvidia serial comes out. I promise they announce and release the 1070/X70 soon. My bill of fare is really straining nether the weight of new games.

Try PC first. People say information technology looks and runs better than on console even if y'all accept minimum specs. You can ever refund otherwise!

Everyone says that, simply I've played hundreds of hours of each on PC. I never specifically noticed a hacker, and there actually aren't that many of them. I'yard non a hardcore PvPer, but after a while I could commonly beat out whatsoever invader. Plus the mods, relieve backups, and a plethora of other things make the PC versions then much better!

@asilentprotagonist: I have a 32 inch TV connected to my computer, and a comfy chair that I pull up to my desk when I use it. I also get to use my PC speakers, which are better than the built in ones in whatsoever of the TVs in my apartment. And then playing console AAA games on my computer isn't a trouble.

PC = meliorate framerate and more cheaters PS4= lower framerate and less cheaters

Playing PC games around minimum specs is asking for trouble. I bet the PS4 version is going to be fine and won't be a nest of rampant cheating.

Patently untrue, my friend.

Fifty-fifty though Dark Souls was released for PC like years afterward the console release, and the fact that it sucked until people found and setup the DSFix mod (which was available Day 1 anyway), and the fact that many people already played on console by the time the PC release hit and didn't re-purchase it... they notwithstanding sold over xl% of the total sales for the game's lifetime on PC! <== That was almost unheard of at the time, for PC to outsell both consoles by a wide margin. Not to mention, the PC customs is more hardcore lovers of the game and help each other out of a lot with amazing mods.

Also, who plays PC games hunched up to a monitor at a desk-bound anymore? I certainly don't, and yous don't take to either. Plus, if you have a nice 24"+ monitor at your desk, with the amazing G-Sync feature if you're lucky, they look and perform a lot ameliorate than a TV (whether hooked up to the PC or to a console).

Equally I mentioned in other comments, I played 300+ hours of each of the Souls games on PC, never encountered a hacker that I could tell was hacking. And I was no PvP adept past whatever means, but it wasn't that long before I was stomping over 50% of the invaders anyhow!

To your bespeak about SLI, as usual with virtually games, especially bad ports where you can't even change resolutions or upward the graphical settings without DSFix, you should never await an SLI setup to exist pain-gratuitous, or possible at all. And bluntly, just one of Those TITANS would exist more than enough to max out the DSFix settings... shit, almost any mod card was fine. If you want to play @ 60FPS, so you need a processor with a relatively fast single core (or multiple cores is fine, but the indicate is it needs to be faster PER CORE than virtually games need), because the DSFix 60FPS implementation is processor intensive and only optimized for a unmarried thread.

@zombievac: I guess I'll find out! I got a new video card recently and I've never played a Souls game that ran at a polish framerate apart from Demon's Souls (and that had information technology's fair share of issues also) so I'm excited to come across this dauntless new 60FPS Souls world anybody has been talking about.

Playing PC games effectually minimum specs is asking for trouble. I bet the PS4 version is going to be fine and won't be a nest of rampant cheating.

I asked Mike Mahardy that reviewed the PS4 version how it performed and he seemed to retrieve information technology was fine.

I'one thousand going with the PS4 version for this same reason.

My PC meets the minimum specs but I dubiety it would run any better than my panel.

I'grand going to wait for release and become the PC version if there aren't widespread reports of it crashing like it did on the Beastcast stream.

@efesell: Nah. Reality is a tough pill to swallow for PC gamers at times. Sooo much denial.

@zombievac: Don't know where you're going with the life time sales thing. The fact is the Playstation souls community is bigger, nicer, less cheaters, and has a much better life span. Yous still aren't getting the indicate with the screen size matter I run across. Ok, then explain the 12-18 fps drops it has in 1 area on a single GTX 970 -_-. Just to let y'all know I've got a very capable PC - GTX 770, I5 3570K. I'll exist getting the PC version probably down the line.

@thejke:Salubrious

I'm not trying to argue... but DaS1 selling extremely well during a fourth dimension when the PC port of a game very rarely sold better than either console EVEN when released at the aforementioned fourth dimension, says a lot. I however run into a great customs on the PC versions of these games. I guess I tin can't prove that more or less players of the PC version are playing currently than on PS3, but all evidence I can see points to that fact...

Either way, my point really is: adulterous and plenty people to play with are but Not going to be an result worth worrying about for DS3. The series is quite popular now. The hacking prevention is ameliorate at present too, and like I said, I hear people say that a lot just they often didn't play the PC version or are merely parroting what someone else said. I don't know anyone that was similar "oh these hackers on PC! It'due south terrible, they're all hacking!" Information technology's actually a very intelligent, respectful community for the most part, different CoD or most costless-to-play MMOs for case - which are full of idiot kids, and people from all effectually the world who seem to think information technology's cool to only be ridiculously rude at all times.

Also, GG on completely misinterpreting @efesell 's comment. He's in denial because... uhhh.... he was responding to your claim that the PC feel is marred because you assume everyone plays in the most uncomfortable way possible? (which just isn't truthful, and can easily be addressed if said person wanted to.)

About your FPS drops on PC, that must be your processor or an issue with your setup. I've played the game just fine at 30 FPS on many Way shittier PCs than you claim you lot have. But again, it wasn't super well optimized... but nothing was worse than Blighttown on consoles! PC version for me in there was polish every bit butter, 60 FPS, settings in DSFix maxed.

I simply remembered that I have a $5 gift bill of fare to BestBuy that is expiring next week. Combined with the gamers club discount I can get the game for $42.99 before tax. I think I might skip the PC version for now. Maybe I volition pick information technology upwards for PC afterwards, if I want to replay it, on a Steam sale.

Avatar image for mike

I'thousand enlightened of the strong sales on PC, but just considering it sold more doesn't mean the community has stayed which is clearly hasn't.

Community not staying is a pretty bold exclamation. Obviously couldn't tell you how many people are actively playing console versions right this moment just Steam can and information technology'south a pretty decent chunk of people all things considered.

And if uncomfortable wasn't it I am curious as to what context you were attempting to create with 'hunched upwardly on a 20'' monitor'.

Avatar image for zombievac

@zombievac: Not going to go dorsum in forth here. The fact is Dark Souls 3 won't accept Valve Anti Cheat, and so no you can't say information technology's "not going to be an issue" If that isn't denial from you and then idk what is. its still a business organization for many PC gamers, and reasonably so. I'm enlightened of the strong sales on PC, just but considering information technology sold more doesn't mean the community has stayed which is clearly hasn't.

Larn to read! I never said annihilation almost it being "uncomfortable" hahahaaha. You clearly haven't read properly when you're talking most my PC on DS3. I estimate professional reviewers (PC Gamer) according to you lot have big issues with their PC'due south. I wish I did have a early copy though =P.

Argh, what can I say? You're non going to reassess your opinion no matter what anybody else here is saying or with evidence.

At that place's cheating on the panel versions too... so it'southward technically a "concern" for every version, but not one that should be worried most because it's never been a really big result, I don't care if information technology has VAC, information technology didn't earlier AFAIK, and DS1 or DS2 didn't seem to need it.

I don't know anything about PC Gamer'southward experience with DS3, but aye if they were having big FPS drops on that setup (which would mean from 60FPS, so even with the drops it's a better framerate than the PS4, and the animations are the same at 30 vs. 60 FPS for DS3 specifically), I'm still not concerned - simply I assumed you lot were talking about DS1, since y'all haven't played DS3 however on PC with the launch day lawmaking, and PC Gamer hasn't either. I don't know why you'd assume we're discussing PC performance of DS3 when information technology is unreleased, and and then far footage from every early review code copy is running at or almost 60FPS everywhere I could encounter so far... but I haven't seen the entire game. I'm not worried in the least that the PC version won't definitively stop up existence better than the PS4 version... even if information technology takes a couple patches, worst case scenario.

I also plainly inferred when y'all were saying "hunch over a 20-inch monitor", it meant uncomfortable among other things, boy am I an idiot for inferring that!

You sure dearest to argue technicalities. You have zippo to back up what y'all've been saying except by correcting what you said afterward and repeatedly accusing me of reading poorly when I was obviously inferring things based on the rather unclear info you provided before each correction... and then this will exist my terminal comment on the thing.

Have a proficient solar day!

To the rest of you, sorry for clogging the thread a fleck with a actually stupid statement!

@asilentprotagonist: http://steamcharts.com/app/211420 Looks pretty solid? Because again its status and how long it has been.

Again I don't know of whatever way to await at the panel side of information technology only I kinda doubt information technology's burning THAT much brighter at that place these days.
