Protip: Collector's Editions are hardly rare or worth collecting ;)

There are some instances of limited copies, but most of the time, labeling something as limited or collectors just means it comes with a bunch of extra stuff and costs $10-$20 more.

PC CE.

-mods
-better controls for me (keyboard + mouse)
-can still use a controller if I really wanted to
-better graphics and performance
-$10 cheaper than console
-can back up saves and tweak performance, much less limited than depending on official fixes for console games
-plus I enjoy making my own mods or customizing the game to how I like it (such as lowering companion weapon damage early on, or tweaking companion AI so they're less annoying and actually do what I tell them to).

I always take PC over anything, when it's an option.

360 here. I tend to have far too much going on on my computer screen with multitasking to do much computer-gaming. There are very few I would do it with. For games like this I actually prefer the 360.

Also, I actively dislike Steam. When I heard that FO: NV was going to require Steam, I made sure I got it on the 360. I've had Steam for close to a month now thanks to Civ V (No, i didn't check if it was going to use steam first, i didn't think I'd get that screwed over by a game series I've loved for over a decade).

Besides, as high-quality as my computer monitor is, I just enjoy having the FAR larger screen to play games like this on, and even on the hardest difficulty levels, the console-controller works fine for me. I don't need a keyboard-full of hotkeys to do well at the game.

While I realize I might miss-out on a few mods, I don't really think it's going to bother me, considering I didn't have them for ME 1, ME 2, for FO3.

And honestly, while I actually DO doing the completionist thing with achievements, I actually prefer the 360 variant compare to Steam's version.

you don't like Steam? Why? it's the best thing to happen to PC gaming since Unreal and Quake, and that was ages ago.

Not so. I was a pc gamer until a while ago, broke down and got an XBox. I played Oblivion and a couple of other games on it and was quite converted.

OK; I am playing FNV on pc at the moment but only because I had to wait for the XBox version and as I am far enough into the game not to want to start over I will finish the first playthrough on pc. Then I will lovingly unwrap my XBox version and put it in the drive.

PC CE of course!

PC gamers more likely to interact in forums, especially since there's discussion of mods?

So it seems most people on here use the pc version. Is that because of the mods that will come out?


Based on personal experience, my friends who game on the Xbox 360 don't generally go on gaming forums. My PC friends do, though.

EDIT; Guy above me beat me to it, lol.

Even tho few people vote, this still shows that more people are playing it on the PC. Which shows why most people are not having the problems like New Vegas on the 360.

Well, this shows that more people who post on these forums are playing it on PC.

And PC definitely has its share of problems.

Agree with ya HeyRevolver.

My friends who own PCs are also more likely to post in online forums compared to my friends who own consoles.

I bought the PC version for myself and the PS3 version for my friend.

Shame it's not a multi-option poll so I could vote for both. :shrug: I guess I'll say PC for the poll.

What's so bad about a service that renders physical media obsolete, lets you chat with friends both in and out of game, lets you browse the friggin' internet ingame, and all that other cool stuff?


As this person and the one right before him/her both pretty much asked the same thing:

1) I'm not much of a PC gamer. I'm an IT guy who's on the computer 99% of the day anyway. I multitask like a fiend, and I like keeping it to mIRC, CMUD, 2-3 different IM programs, web-browsing, email and more. I only generally get games on PC if they don't come out for the 360.

2) As I already listed, I like the far-larger TV screen that's right next to my computer. So I get an amazing view for the game, and i can turn my head and browse/etc anything I care to for the game anyway without hiding the screen/window

3) Steam is annoying. It was annoying to install JUST to install Civ V. It's annoying to have to have it come up for everything. It's EXTREMELY aggravating, when once a week it does some steam-update and STEAM LOCKS UP. I find it idiotic that if I tell it to start up OFFLINE and NOT UPDATE. It still does. I find it annoying to get those idiotic ads every time I have to restart steam because steam f's itself up. Oh, and by the way, while I may not have a custom-built gaming-beast of a computer, it can more than easily run Civ V maxed-out for graphics with DivX 10/11. So steam crashing out on me is hardly due to my computer. And just to get some stats out of the way. Vista 64, quad-core AMD Phenom II.

4) I actually like physical media. I like putting a disk in, and having it install quickly and easily, or just run right from the disk. Putting in the disk, having it take nearly an hour to install all the steam-bases crap, BEFORE it goes to the WEB to download the game even though I have the disk in the drive is just moronic.

5) DLC: 360 has DLC also. It also updates automatically.. GASP.. Just like Steam.. OH NO.. Steam isn't unique. whoop-de-f'ing-do.

While no, not all of those reasons are distinctly anti-Steam, it does cover the problems I've had with it and the aggravation I've had with it. Steam is hardly the be-all-end-all of gaming. It's an added step or more to things I want to do. I have no interest in it, I don't want it. and I dislike being 'forced' to use something to be able to enjoy something I might like.

There are only 2 things IMO that PC gaming has on console gaming

1) Mods. YES.. you can f' around a lot more with pc-code than with console. Perhaps eventually if I see enough that I like for mods, I'll go buy the PC version. Right now I don't plan on it. There's plenty of other things coming out to put my money towards. Also, I rarely bother with mods. while some can be amazing, it's usually like a needle in a haystack to get through the horrible ones.

2) KB+Mouse vs controller: Yes, overall you can technically do more with a KB+Mouse. considering I tend to type closer to 100wpm, I know full-well just how much more can be done with a keyboard. Most games really don't need it. FPS, perhaps, but most fps bores me. the Fallout series, is thankfully, NOT an FPS. YES it uses that viewpoint and it CAN be done that way (which I was initially VERY suspicious of with FO3.). But Fallout is an RPG game. That's why I like it, that's why I'm addicted to it. And it's a pleasure having a real RPG on consoles, like Fallout, Mass Effect, Elder Scrolls (Oblivion, Morrowind, etc). .. (and no, to me, Final Fantasy isn't an RPG). As i stated before, I'm generally on a computer kb+mouse through probably 90% of my waking hours. I like taking a break and using a controller. It doesn't hurt the game in the least.
