It's come that time again where I'm forced to choose the platform.
Saw it on Steam for fuckin' $45 with Achievements which basically
kills the 360 price.  What does anybody else think?  
 
Will my Intel Core 5 quadcore with 8G RAM be able to handle it? 
Or should I just wait for the price cut for the 360 version?

PC it's where it's at..

the 360 it's so 2007.

@Lind_L_Taylor: Your graphics card is quite important to know, but yes, you should be fine if its on par with your other stuff.

PC version is superior - looks much better, mouse and controller, cheaper, HD. No real choice to make.

Gotta know your graphics specs, dude. If you have integrated graphics or are running on a laptop that isn't a gaming laptop, then you might be able to run it in the lowest settings on the lowest resolution. 
 
Also make sure you can comfortably play PC shooters. Sure, I can aim better with the mouse, but I simply don't want to become a PC gamer right now because I can't get comfortable on a keyboard and mouse no matter my position and posture. So check that as well.

PC.

If you have a good PC, why even ask ''which version'' ?

360.

Do people still buy PC's?

PC obviously. We're well into that swing again where things are much more desirable on PC than on consoles. More than half of my autumn preorders are on PC.

Plus I got the Steam version for $29. Xbox would be $60.

Smart people do.. the rest is buying avatar marketplace T-Shirts.

PC is the automatic answer, it can do everything a console does and much more.. /fact

If you don't have a proper setup to play PC comfortably, doesn't matter how good your PC is. I prefer sitting back on a couch, with a controller, on my HDTV, than hunched over 5 inches away from a monitor.

I hook up my PC to the TV every now and again and plugin my controller, but I know thats not the option for everyone.

PC all the way and its not like PC gamers had to worry alot about PCs not being good enough with all these console ports.

Anyway, yeah. If you have a powerful enough PC, the choice should be obvious. Otherwise, you're only really missing out on better graphics, which isn't as big a deal as some elitest users her will have you believe.

I think it's a $150 HD Radeon card from a couple years back. I've played Spore, Blood Bowl, Star Trek Online, Champions Online, Dark Spore, Magicka, EVE, bit.triprunner, Braid, Magicka, Portal, & Kotor. Nothing heavy duty, but I think it can play it. NWN 1 & 2. I'd just hate to buy a new PC game off Steam & find out that it doesn't work.

Lay off the enter key.

360, probably.

Yeah lets say 360.

As long as we aren't talking about a poor port, PC will always be my platform of choice.

@James_ex_machina said:

No, not really. Steam just happens to be making massive bank off of their PS3/360/Wii market.

No offense dude but.. how you manage to make an irrelevant coment in every single post out there !?..

I try and try but i cant.. perhaps I need to quit my job.

If your pc could play Dark Spore and such well, I don't think you have to worry. I've been reading about people playing the leaked beta/demo thing, and apparently it's really well optimized even on older systems. Hopefully they just straight up release an official demo so we don't have to feel dirty about it.

@DonPixel: That was irrelevant?

360. Can't wait!

@EuanDewar: Irrelevant, probably... yeah let´s say irrelevant.

I won't back up my remark with reasons either... you know just to keep it irrelevant.

I'm gunna go ahead and guess that if you have those specs for CPU and RAM, you probably have a good video card. So PC.

Chances are, if you have to ask, the answer is PC.

@DonPixel: You seem to want more from me then I am willing to give.

<3

Well the price is $45 on Steam, not $60 on the Xbox which is
fucking ridiculous.  And there are achievements.  ACHIEVEMENTS!!
So there is no reason not to have it on the PC.  I think the fuckers
at Microsoft need to start lowering their prices a bit.  It's always max
price for every fucking release, when you can look on the PC & see
it $15 off right on release!   Softy is not making the Xbox financially 
sensible & I think moving forward, for every game that comes out
on Steam cheaper than the 360, guess what?  Fuck you Softy!  I'm
buying the PC version until you get your head out of your ass & 
start offering a goddamn discount to your formerly loyal fans.

I am going PC, hope the PC version is good. Going to get it from Direct 2 Drive since its a tenner cheaper than on Steam thanks to Steams God awful 1$ = 1€ conversion rate. Plus its a Steam works game so I just fire the code into Steam and that's that.

If you have a PC capable of playing it, you know that's the system to go with. As for telling if you do have the PC to do so, I'm no help.

@Lind_L_Taylor: it's not 15$ off, it's 5; PC games are 50, despite what EA thinks

Then why even bother spending the money for the gaming PC? *As in Core i5 (and up) + >200$ video card.

Better graphics, better framerate, PC exclusive games. Same reasons anyone would get a gaming PC. Just that sometimes I play it while sitting on the couch,

Playing Arkham Asylum with all the highest settings, maxed out AA, and PhysX on an HDTV is awesome. And its one of the games that using a keyboard + mouse feels nowhere near as good as using a controller.

Threads like this remind me how I need to buy a recliner for my desk.

FYI, if you use 'Green Man Gaming' (basically the UK's answer to steam) you can use a 20% off code and get this for $34 US.  
 
Granted, you have to pay with a PayPal account, but the installation instructions literally say "Download Steam, enter the activation code" and all their codes are region free.

PC just in case the game needs to be fixed but the devs just don't give a fuck (like Bethesda).

I recommend buying it on whatever platform you want to play it on.

If you can run it PC for sure.
 
I used to do mainly console stuff but over the last year I've converted to PC and use my 360/PS3 just for exclusives. With a decent PC, the game just run and look so much nicer than what the console versions do :S.

PC

360 unfortunately. :(

I can cheat to my hearts content on PC if I choose to do so :)

PC, why even bother if it's good enough? No port problems, better graphics, mouse+keyboard or controller plugin if you really want to.

PC.

@Lind_L_Taylor: it's not 15$ off, it's 5; PC games are 50, despite what EA thinks

I just picked it up the PC/Steam copy for $34 on greenmangaming. It's already 15% off with pre-order, and another 20% with a summer coupon on the site. I'm not even that interested in the game, but at that price I was losing money not buying it.

PC, always the PC if the opportunity presents itself.

PC for the hats.  :3

Just to give you an idea of how stupid your comment looks.Making fun of avatar items or Kinect is like making fun of PC users for Facebook.

Anyway, yeah. If you have a powerful enough PC, the choice should be obvious. Otherwise, you're only really missing out on better graphics, which isn't as big a deal as some elitest users her will have you believe.

Mods will likey be a thing with this game, considering it's a Deus Ex game, and controls will of course be more precise.
