Feel free to comment or criticize, i'm not flawless

 

 

-------------------------------------------------Advantages---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Platform : PC

 

1. The MODS are available.

2. The use of Console Commands. The ability the fix glitches, reset quests, add/remove items from your inventory,

resurrect NPCs, etc. The Console can obviously be an invaluable tool.

3. PC can render in a higher resolution, has improved tesselation, and will run with more frames per second if you

have the right specs.

4. Modders will be able to fix all the bugs before the developers.

5. A mouse can be much more accurate and precise than any controller as of today.

6. A keyboard has more customizable buttons than any controller, making it easier to select a gamestyle

that suits you better.

 

-------------------------------------------------Disadvantages-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Platform : PC

 

1. A relatively good PC with specs that are better than a console is an investment that will cost much more than

the console itself

2. It is possible that a PC does not meet the graphic requirements for this game or is under the console standard

3. First DLC will be available 30 days after Xbox 360

4. Some hackers will crack it, but still, some people really want to feel the ultimate "unsealing the best game

ever experience".

 

-------------------------------------------------Advantages---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Platform: Xbox 360

 

1.Plug and play simplicity, easier for casual players to access.

2.Play the game as it's meant to be played (no mods).

3. First DLC will be available 30 days before PC and PS3

4. Guaranteed to run on a console, you do not need to customize it.

5. The game is developed mainly for Xbox 360, so you know the product is already proven to be good.

6. A controller, an HDTV and a sofa is more likely going to be a more relaxing experience than a PC chair

and a screen that's 10 inches close to your eyes.

 

-------------------------------------------------Disadvantages-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Platform: Xbox 360

 

1. The mods are NOT available.

2. The bugs are fixed sometimes very late in the process, or not even fixed

3. Mediocre graphics compared to PC when maxxed out, slightly less than PS3.

4. Controllers tend not to be as precise as a mouse

I agree that some advantages are worth more than others, but this is just a list I made with some Googling, experience, and simple judgement

You buy it on whatever platform suits you.

1. A relatively good PC with specs that are better than a console is an investment of USD 1500.00$ and more

An extremely good PC that can max out anything and would easily match the next generation of consoles would hardly even cost that.

@Igetbabes I clicked "not buying it" http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/tongue.gif.

 

I won't buy it, but my friend will, and I'll just trade with him for the game.

I spent about 800$ on my home-built computer, and I'm yet to run into framerate difficulties in any game.

 

Frankly my computer makes my 360 look as technically impressive as a toaster.

Technically the question was what would be the first host for you; saying what will you be playing on?

 

Not buying it should really be phrased Not playing it....
