BioShock Infinite - WARNING SPOILERS

[Luminous]

I can't decide between PC or console.

As expected, the early reviews are saying framerates and textures are vastly superior on PC. However, I like my console controllers and I am a trophy wh0re, soooo....

Steam has achievements and you can always get a Xbxo controller for your PC like I did

Good point about the 360 controller, but getting Steam achievements doesn't seem as rewarding as getting PS3 trophies for some reason.

Either way, I don't think I can justifiably deny the beautiful textures and smooth frame rate of the PC.

Yah, I like using my controller for pc also. Plus you can't beat the pre-order bonuses that steam is giving away with this game!

I can't wait for this game. Pre-ordered very early. I'm not really excited about any other game.

I never did like gaming on the pc. I'm more of a console kinda girl. Yes, pc has better graphics but who cares. They play the same and I don't like the idea that eventually I'll have to upgrade my pc just to play games in the future.

I understand why you prefer one over the other, but they certainly won't play the same. Specifically in regards to controls. You can only hotkey two weapons and two vigors on a console controller at any given time. In order to access the rest, the game must essentially be paused to access a wheel that contains the rest of your abilities. Since they can all be hotkeyed on a keyboard for PC, the player won't experience any such combat flow break up in gameplay.

It's safe to say things will run a lot faster and be more frenetic on PC due the finite number of keys/ buttons on a console controller.

Since I never really play on a computer much only for emulated games I wouldn't have known about the hotkeys anyway. I know lots of people also buy the pc version because of the add patches that were never released for the game....example Skyrim.

I'm ok with the whole switching out vigors or weapons since I dealt with that in the 1st two games and got use to it. It only takes 2 seconds so it's not a big deal. Plus I like going for achievements since I consider it as an add bonus to play the game longer or challenge yourself

Eh, the upgrade thing is a common complaint with people but most of the hardware that is coming out these days can last you for quite a few years before you actually " Need" to upgrade. Honestly, if you don't have to have every single setting on max you could probably get away with not having to upgrade for an even bigger length of time.
I personally like to play on both console and pc. The next Gen consoles however, have me thinking of just becoming a straight PC gamer because of all these silly rules(rumors) involving how I can buy and play my games but that is another story for another thread.
