Lol, are you seriously asking this?

Let's see:

25-30 FPS vs 60+ FPS - The game is really well optimized so most hardware can give you very high frame rates. Higher frame rates = smoother gaming performance and tighter, mroe responsive controls.

SubHD vs 1920z1080 or higher resolution - The game looks a LOT better at higher resolution. The colors and art work "pop" on PC, and look like blurry crap on consoles.

Loading times - PC wins this handily. No contest. PC loading times are super fast.

Texture loading - This engine suffers from serious texture loading/pop-in. It hits every time you enter a new area, or a new object spawns. On PC it's noticeable, but it's no where as bad as on console. ON conle sometimes looking at somehting, turning aroudn and looking at it again will give you texture blur.

Anisotropic filtering and FXAA - PC has 'em consoles don't. this makes a big difference in image quality.

Physx - If you've got an Nvidia card, you cna turn this on without much hit on FPS, and it is pretty awesome. One of the best Physx implementations since the BAtman games. There's fluid simulations, about 1,000 times more debris from firing at things. It's just a thig of beauty.

Finaly mouse and keybaord will always be >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> gamepad, when ti comes to FPS.

PC, obviously.

PC is more fun because you have to work harder at aiming :DNuclearSharkHD

On 99% of console games, turning off aim assists really means turning off blatant, cheating aim assist. There's still a biug difference in hit boxes, and smaller aim assists vs PC where turning off aim assist really does equal 0 aim assist. And hit boxes on PC are usually a lot tighter.

All of this^ + larger draw distances, you'll see more objects in the distance and less pop ins.

Field of view slider, lets you set the FOV to whatever you prefer, on console you're stuck with whatever value they choose for it.

Asking this question in a PC forum, you're bound to get biased results. Not saying I disagree with the reasons everyone has said, but TC, if you're trying to get an unbiased response, you should probably post in another forum.

The low field of view on the console versions makes it almost unplayable anyways in my opinion. Borderlands 1 on PC was terrible for that also.

WOW, would have been easier to say the PC version is better. But thxs for the detailed explanation. You really did put some thought into your words.

I Hope brain cells were not damaged in the process!

Ask your fellow trolls over the internet, I hear your community is quite large :S

P.S. Asking a stupid question the wrong sub-forum - brilliant !

If you have played the first Borderlands you will get extra skins if you still have the samegame on your system.

It's the reason I went with the pc version; it had my old BL1 save on it.

Also I wanted to be on the safe side performance wise.

Console version has splitscreen though.

And if you plan to play with friends get whatever system they get it on.

Having played both, PC version is the best. Has pc exclusive features, looks better and runs better.

FPS's are usually always better played on a PC unless its a really sloppy console port.bonafidetk

It's an FPS. Therefore, PC.Cataclism

You are asking this on the PC board, which is like asking if 9/11 was a conspiracy on a website devoted to conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11. You'll only get one answer.

Anyways, the obvious answer is where your friends are playing, as a co-op title you want to experience it with your friends. If you don't have friends, then really where you are most comfortable since Borderlands is the same game either way and isn't really a graphical powerhouse on PC. That said, the PC version does have some sweet deals on Greenmangaming, often dropping to less then $40, and the physics are supposed to be much sweeter, plus its really well optimized since I was able to enjoy it on the lowest settings with just my APU (I had my GTX 460 RMA'd so I'm waiting on that before I get into it seriously).
