    never buy the cheapest parts because its cheap go for high quality parts they will last u a good 2.5-3 years if you overclock and maintain it well (and by this point games will only just start to use the power your rig has) and by this poitn u can upgrade again.

    only overclock if u know how to maintain the system after overclocking, or you can run it into the ground fast.

    spend money on decent gameing mice / keyboards Xbox controllers are no way near as accurate as a high end gameing mouse.

    get a decent desk in a room with good curtains to block out sunlight so no glare, also have good air flow (room temp affects core temps).

    decent moniter with atleast 1920 x 1080 resoloution (its 2013 ppl !! )


    now as for why you should get it on PC, well have u ever played CoD black ops 2 player base. enough said.

    how ever if you dont want to spend $1000 dollers get the Xbox version, reason why consoles are so popular is because any idiot can buy 1 and play it with no effort or maintainance needed. where as PC time spent looking after machine = rewarded with super mega awesome graphics and freedom unmatched by a console. (saying that a $600 machine could play it well then again i am english so i have no idea what $1000 can buy you.
    This, this is why I gave up on the 'PC Master Race', what a load of elitist tripe.

    Honestly I've seen the game on PC and Console and other than some animation issues in large groups (which most low end PCs will have anyway) the textures and visual appearances are quite tight on both. So please get over yourselves already.

    And here is a shiny forum bomb for the 'PC Master Race' out there... Buy a Mac it works and you can play your Windoze games on it too.

    Could play this on the PC but like the idea of being able to sloth about on the couch playing it. Also I can play it on a 50 inch or 150 inch screen. On the PC stuck to a 26 inch monitor as its no where near the tv or the projector and the Xbox is easier to move about.

    Comfort level > gameplay > graphics. For me anyway on this occasion

    If it was me and didn't have two kids to feed. I would play on what ever my wife as playing on. If your buying a pc your need a good one, not just one that will play this game but games to come as well. Its a lot of money, if you and your partner got it on 360 what else could treat your self to with the money ?

    Agree'd! Without a doubt all gamers know that PC is a superior platform for gaming, but the community jam packed with elitest are far from "The Master Race" when it comes to gaming. A real gamer doesn't care what platform you're playing on as long as you're enjoying yourself. So to answer your question OP, Yes the PC will more than likely run it better, but all I can say is prepare yourself for that community.

    Yeah you also don't have to worry about the gfx cards drivers not working properly after a patch. It gets old fast rolling back drives or finding the best beta driver.

    I have a pretty good PC built from the ground up (IF you plan on going that route, I would suggest doing the same) and I bought the 360 version. I used to do gaming on nothing but my PC but recently have switched it up and I probably haven't used it in a good two months. I bought the 360 version out of general convenience. Defiance just screams late nights, caffeine, and a comfortable couch set up to me. As I have a lot of downtime next week, it would probably be good on my back that I didn't go with the PC version personally. Just think really hard about that decision, I wouldn't make such an extreme one if all I had in mind was one game. If you feel you want to buy a capable PC, think about the big picture and not the small one.

    This is why u buy the console version. Cos this is just far to much effort. To quote a popular meme.. Ain't nobody got time for that!

    i gave up on the whole pc gaming thing.. pcs are very anti social compared to xbox or ps3.. you can sit on the sofa and play and have your friends around you watching etc.. no ones wants to hunch over a desk for hours.. i honestly dont miss the back pain from playing pc games ;p i also dont miss spening £400 on a GFX card every year.
