    From what I've heard, the console version is the PS3/360 is the way to go.

    If you're talking about the botched steam release, everything's been fixed already. I didn't have any trouble at least. PC version is fine since they patched it a few times. You can hook up a gamepad and use analog combat too.

    @MiniPato: Well then it comes down to whether you enjoy PC games or console games more.

    I played the PC version (to use my good gfx card on my 60") and it played perfectly fine with an update, i even used a 360 controller.

    If you use a 360 controller it's basically a console game with better graphics.

    No FSAA on ATI cards, so that's an issue to consider.

    The PC version has been fixed for a while now. It was just a really rough launch.

    I don't think that I need to start my own thread to ask this question: I've been playing this game for almost an hour, I've been in the Pause Menu or Inventory Menu and never saw a Quick save Option nor have I seen a key bind to quick save the game. So I ask: is there quick save in the game (PC Version)? If not, is there any mod to add it?

    IIRC, there is no quicksave. The game's save system is automatic. When you die you don't reload a save, you're just revived at another location and have some money taken away.

    Been a while, so I could be remembering this wrong, mind you.
