I had played Diablo II when I was young. I’m not a big Diablo fan, but I’m attracted by this new release, and I’m interested to play with my friends.
I can’t decide that I should buy a PS5 version or PC version. Here are some pros and cons I’m thinking about.
- I don’t have a powerful gaming PC yet. Before I made my decision of a new PC build, I may need to play with low quality graph (EDIT: I already have a PS5).
- I could buy a pre-owned PS5 Disc, which is cheaper. If I don’t like it, I could trade-in the disc.
- I don’t have a PS membership right now. I know I missed one promotion in early June. Is the membership necessary for playing Diablo IV?
- If I need to organize my backpack, will keyboard&mouse be more convenient than controller?
- I have a Steam Deck and I want to use it for some causal play. Proton or PS Remote Play, which works better?
Thank you for all your suggestions.
Thank you!
This is a brilliant question. My PC and PS5 are both in my living room. However, if I play on PS5, it’s easier for my wife to look at me, and laugh at me dying :)
I know Diablo IV is a always-online game. I don’t expect to play it when I’m outside. I expect to play Diablo IV in bathroom or during insomnia (well, I know it’s bad for my health)
IMO plug your PC into the TV and call it a day. If that somehow isn’t possible (you PC and TV are in the same room, it shouldn’t be a problem), I’ve heard the steam link streaming stuff isn’t too bad when on the same network and most smart TVs have this app.
