If you asked me a year ago I would say 360 since I only owned that and a Wii. But now since I got a PS3, built a pretty powerful PC, and preordered the Wii U, I'm trying to decide which version to get. It would be nice to get the Wii U one because of the controller interface, but I hear that the PS3 one has extra content that the other versions don't have. However the PC version would probably look a lot better graphically than if I got it on any other console, but I'm not sure if it has the extra content the PS3 version has. Can anyone assist me? I'm having trouble since this is the first time I'm choosing from 4 different outlets to play a multiplat.

Edit: From one end I hear the Wii U version is on par with the others graphically, and then I hear it is superior.

Personally, gameplay trumps content for me. Believing I'm insiwe the game is more important than the extra side levels (which, in my opinion, haven't been that good).

 

i got the same systems minus the Wii U, but I'm buying (and waiting longer) for the PC version.

GenearllyI buy it for both 360 and PS3 (I'm a stupid big fan and like to get my multiplayer with friends from both systems) - but the PS3 has exclusive content. That may be enough reason to grab it on that system if you're picking. 

 

Otherwise - I'd say whatever control you feel is best.

A lot of PC heads will tell you to get it on the PC, I have a good gaming PC and a ps3 and have been playing assassins creed brotherhood on PC and Assassins creed revelations on PS3 and the PC is overall better no doubt but Assassins creed revelations still looks damn amazing on the PS3 without much framerate issues so far anyway, ubisoft do such a good job with assassins creed on all platforms.

So just get whatever platform you will have the most fun on, and if the exclusive DLC is worth it for you then PS3 no doubt, I'll be getting it on PS3 then if I luv it enough ill buy it on PC to treat myself to better graphics and 60FPS.

Depends of what you looking for.. some games like AC and RPG's in general, I like the xbox 360, because the controls are nicer for long games and the graphics looks OK in full HD.

But with shooter games....I haven't got use to the console controller get, been using the mouse to aim for far to many years :roll: so I use the PC.

If you can get a steady 60fps with max settings on your PC, then I would suggest PC. If not then PS3, or 360.

Well, the ps3 framerate is around 20 :X I'd get it for PC.

I would have bought for PC but I wasn't willing to wait the extra 20 days just for some minor visual improvements. The only thing that really makes the game better on PC is the higher framerate (if you have the hardware) because the framerate on the console versions can feel very.....sluggish. I'm probably just used to playing my games in 50+ fps, but ever since Brotherhood the framerates for these games just feel bad to me. Doesn't really kill the game though, it still looks absouletly amazing on consoles.

You know you can use the Xbox pads on your PC right? Either the special windows USB version or get a wireless dongle so you can use any xbox pads you have

I'd probably wait till the PC version comes out for the better graphics and the extra time to squash all the bugs. I've heard that AC games have poor performance on PC's though, probably not true but I've heard complaints about it.

If not PC, get it for the PS3. WiiU is probably gonna be a disappointment. I've been around long enough to realize that getting caught up in the hype (for games, consoles, anything really) is a surefire way to get disappointed in the end. I can guarantee that the WiiU second screen is just a gimmick and will probably be more frustrating than it is useful (PS Vita touch screen, I'm looking at you).
