    Default Deciding what platform to game on

    As a multi-platform gamer (PC & PS4) I was recently, for the first time, in a situation where I had to choose which platform to buy a game for. Normally this wasn't an issue. console exclusives go on the console, everything else is for the Master Race.

    But now I was faced with a game I really want that plays on all platforms.

    so I was wondering, how do you guys decide what games you get for which platform?

    Back when I still had a pc, I used to buy FPS & action RPG games on PC, with 3rd person action/rpg game, platformers and sport games on console. Reason was I believed I needed to play FPS/ARPG games with a keyboard and mouse.

    Then I played Diablo 3 on PS3, and it played better than the PC version. So scratch that from the PC list. Thus just FPS type games remained on PC. Just thought maintaining a gaming pc in the long run the way I used to (CUD) was not worthwhile just for a few FPS games that I could anyways play on console if I wanted. Not advocating everyone to switch to console, just saying what worked for me.

    Got D3:Reaper of Souls on PS4 now. Can highly recommend it if you like ARPG's. The controls feel at home on the controller. And even better, no lag as you can play the game offline.

    that's my problem now. My GPU isn't the young buck it used to be so I have to start looking at other alternatives and it makes me feel like a traitor

    PC is more often cheaper and will run better, depending on your performance. Unless console-exclusive, I will be for PC is the option is available.
    Unless it's an Arkham Knight situation.

    yeah PC will always be cheaper

    but when you are in a situation where the PC version won't run as smooth as it will on your console (and it's not a FPS) then I start to reconsider
