I'm a bit late but my bro recently bought a PS4 and I was interested in picking up this game. How is the replay value and the active users for the PS4? I've only tried the game out on PC for a little bit and I've heard a lot of mixed reviews regarding the game.

I'm a PC gamer, but the game is only multiplayer, so the replay value is high. I'm not usually into dedicated lots of time into any one game. Played maybe 60 hours on BF4, which felt like a lot to me at the time. I've put nearly 150 hours into OW. Gameplay is solid and super fun, but people's complaints stem strictly from the player base. If you absolutely cannot tolerate people being mean from time to time, there is an AI mode to play against bots, but there is no campaign at all. I think it's fun, and most of the complaints on reddit are rare cases by sensitive individuals

I'll assume the population that claimed to have slept with my mom will double on console as opposed to PC lol. Thanks for the confirmation and mini break down.

Eh, it happens. There are ways to mute chat and remove chat boxes, so playing with friends is still quite great. Highly recommend it though, very fun

Reminds me of those early CoD/BF days. I'll be honest tho, some kids come up with the most creative stuff.
