360 vs pc

[Averhoeven]

so u think population is really the only difference? im not sure that will matter

Why would you buy an MMO on a console that has a very clear and very near expiration date? That boggles me, especially when the likelihood of next gen consoles having backwards compatibility is really low.

Plus I'd double check the 360 won't insist you have Gold to play.

I think I did read somewhere that the 360 version required Live Gold

im going to buy this game tomorrow, not sure if i should get 360 or pc? are there any differences? i know battlefield has a lot less people on 360 servers, so i was disappointed.

I played in both the PC and Xbox 360 beta. Xbox had major frame rate problem and the graphics look like it was a Xbox 1 game.


Go with the PC imo.

Keyboard+mouse gameplay vs gamepad is very personal, I personally like keyboard+mouse but that is because I am more of a PC gamer. They do not cross over and I have not seen any numbers on which platform is showing the higher numbers, I'd personally guess PC. I have beta on PC and not the consoles and it's largely a personal choice; however, the talks about the upcoming PS4 and Xbox "whatever" are good arguments because MMOs tend to be played for very long periods of time.

ok, i think i will go with pc. i could probly even plug in my xbox controller if i wanted

I know you have already chosen but I'll still put my opinion. I actually prefer sitting back on a couch with my feet up playing games. Its just relaxing, especially for mmo's. I guess you can just connect a controller, and also PC will have much better graphics. I have the game for both, so it is no problem for me. I personally would probably get it for xbox if I only chose one system. Yes the next xbox is coming in probably december, but its not like they will shaft the 360, it will still be supported and we are still not sure if it will have backwards compatibility which just makes the same game move to a better console.

ended up walking in to EB without preordering, they had tons of copies + gave me the preorder bonus =)

I went PC. This was due to both my wife and I wanting to play and we don't own 2 X Boxes. Also, with a PC, we can choose our interface. I like the trackball (sniping) / mouse (run n gun) over the thumbstick for aiming, but find a thumbstick a better solution for movement over wasd. My wife, however, just likes being able to smash buttons so a controller it is.
