30fps vs 60fps (aka console vs PC) preference?

If it looks good for me, doesn't matter what the frame rate will be. I will be getting the game for the ps4.

Xbox One here. I'm not bothered by FPS, and I expect the multiplayer community will be robust, which I look forward to.

With that said, if I had a good desktop instead of a geriatric laptop I would probably get it for PC as well, both for FPS and also the possibility of mods.

The higher the better. Especially in the case of the OT where enemy reaction times and accuracy are dependent on your framerate. Playing at 144fps is a completely different experience, and it's one that I enjoy.

This but I'm getting it for both PS4 and Xbox One.

I don't think it will be that bad. Devs optimize the hell out of the consoles.

Yes, you will have to buy everything twice. And if you play the Multiplayer at all, your progress on one platform will not carry over to the other.

I don't know about consoles.
However on PC the 60FPS is better for smoothness if locked to 30FPS on the PC the game can stutter and sometimes freeze at higher resolutions.

It depends on the monitor. Mine can go up to 3840x2160 which is a 16:9 aspect ration meaning that 2560x1440 is just a perfectly scaled down version of that. 2560x1600 actually skews the image since that's a 16:10 aspect ratio.

I would run the game at 4k but my rig is a little bit dated these days which means my choice is probably between 4k @ 30FPS or 1440p @ 60FPS.

Personally I don't find that 30 FPS has a more "cinematic" look to it and I find that the majority of games feels much better to play at 60 FPS than it does at 30 FPS due to game engines tying a lot of internal functions to your framerate.

30 FPS just feels sluggish during gameplay and rougher in animations in general to me.

I forgot if you said, but what's your system? You said you were going to or recently made upgrades? To what? You seem confident of the game playing 60fps @1440p so want to compare. I want to hope ME:A is optimized better so I can get solid 60fps @1440p. Again, the thing is that you are the/a admin and so I don't think you go around just saying you will be getting that kind of performance without being able to back it up because your Rep is kinda on the line as an admin of the site.

I'm running a Nvidia Titan with an i7-4930k and 16GB of RAM. I built the thing about 3 years ago when that was a lot closer to top of the line =P

I can still maintain a pretty solid 60 FPS(a few dips down to 45-50 at times) in games like DOOM on ultra at 1440p right now which actually kind of surprised me that it still held up this well. It was only recently that I got my new monitor and before that I was running at 1024x768 on an old TV that I had lying around, so I didn't entirely know how well my rig would handle 1440p or 4k. Most games in 4k for me run at about 25-30 depending on how well optimized they are(and if I want to murder my poor video card by maxing out AA options).

Admittedly I do feel a bit less confident about ME:A because DA:I wasn't all that well optimized, but I'm holding out hope that was due to it being their first foray into the Frostbite engine and that ME:A will be better optimized.

Since I haven't run into issues at 1440p yet I doubt if I'll upgrade just yet. Probably in another year or so I'll think about making the push to get 4k @ 60 FPS

Which platform will have the biggest multi-player community? That's what matters to me.

Mass Effect Andromeda has confirmed native controller support and you can play at low res/low fps if you want on pc.
(why does part of me feel this was sarcasm?)
