Should I buy portal 2 for the PC or for the Xbox 360?

Answer 1

You should get Portal 2 for the pc , because you will get extra things and a editor for portal which will be released after portal 2 :D. Also the addition for co-op on pc is great since you can start it with every single friend in your friends list if they have portal 2.

 

I would only advice you Portal 2 on xbox360 if you dont like steam on pc , and want to play with local friends @ home.

Answer 2

360 cause then you get to play with ur friends in co-op mode.

(You can't share a computer)

Plus the multiplayer campaign will be different from the single player campaign.

Comments

Both the 360 and the PC version will have the singleplayer and multiplayer campaigns. While the PC doesn't have splitscreen co-op, there's nothing stopping you from playing online with people on your Steam friends list.

Answer 3

Id say it depends on your experience. Some lvls require fast camera rotation wich is easier on the PC if you ask me. However if your experienced enough I'd buy it for 360 since its easier to play with friends.

Answer 4

i would say pc cuz you get more support/updates from steam, and valve has matchmaking servers so you can play with friends of strangers.

Answer 5

I would definitely get it on pc. I can totally see valve adding in extra content for this game which is always free on steam, while xbox live would charge for it. you also get the ability to make your own levels and play other peoples custom maps.

Answer 6

PC FTW!

Valve games are more popular on PC than on console. So you can find lots of people to play with.

L4D is a good example.

Answer 7

probably PC, because the graphics will be the best, and Steam is already established on the PC, unlike 360/PS3.

Answer 8

I for one vote for the 360 version cuz of the achievements and ease of play.

PS3 I heard will have cross platform play though ^^

PC if you have a good PC.

Comments

All 4 versions (PC, Mac, 360, PS3) of the game will have their own type of achievements.

PC/Mac: Steam achievements
PS3: Steam Achievements/PSN Trophies
360: XBL Achievements

Ease of play is very subjective so it's up to the user on whether or not they prefer the KB&M or a controller. If you have a PS3, go with that version. You get a version for the PC also, so why not?

You don't need that great of a computer to run Portal 2. Source engine is scalable so it's friendly to older computers.

Answer 9

PC. Because of KB and mouse. And awesome online play.

And you get a free Portal if you buy now.

Answer 10

Better buy version for PS3 , you will get free copy for PC :)

Answer 11

Huh , IMHO you should buy Portal 2 for PS3 , you will get free copy of it on PC. But if you have Xbox , it depends on that if you like more playing on PC or on Xbox.

Answer 12

Yeah its better to get it for PC this will allow you for crossplatform gameplay(with PS3)....which mean for players

Answer 13

IF you have a ps3 buy that because if you do you get both the ps3 a pc copies if not then buy it where your friends are buying it...this one has COOP

Answer 14

I would only get it for the xbox 360 if you want to play co-op with a friend or if you don't like playing games on the computer. The PC is perferred by most and comes with a free copy of portal 1 if you buy through steam.

Answer 15

PC all the way, you get better support, a ton of extra features (editor, etc), mods (there will be plenty of 'em this time around, believe me), and of course you can experience it's awesome graphics to the max (if you have a decent pc, that is)

Answer 16

If you have a capable PC, definitely the PC version.

Answer 17

Also, PC version is cheaper if I am not wrong.

Answer 18

Only buy it on Xbox if your PC can't handle it.

Answer 19

If you have a PS3 you should buy it for the PS3, you will also be able to unlock a PC copy with your PS3 purchase.

Answer 20

mouse and keyboard is the optimal input for a game like this.

Answer 21

Get it for PS3 and get a free PC version.

Answer 22

This depends on whether or not you have a controller for your pc. I personally would go for Xbox because playing portal 1 with a mouse killed me and I ended up buying a second copy of portal 1 because I couldn't do any challenge maps except the first few with a mouse and keyboard. I would say Xbox 360 definetely.

Answer 23

Definitely the PC. Mouse control beats controller every time i nan FPS, plus when mods are released you'll be able to get them. Also, updates are free.

Answer 24

there is a great video showing gameplay and reviews on Youtube for both Xbox and PC,,, you should check it out, maybe it can help you decide...

Answer 25

Long story short, buy xbox if you want the best co op experience if you don't gave many pc gaming friends. Pc if you like the idea of mods and the multiplayer will be exactly the same minus split screen support. (personally I think you need a full screen for portal anyway.

Answer 26

IfI were you I would buy PC version. Because games like this should be with you everytime. I cannot take my Xbox everywhere, but I can do that with my laptop. And Steam became pretty good, so I don't see any reasons to hate PC version because of STEAM

Answer 27

Depends if you have a good PC for it. I don't, so I vote 360.

Answer 28

It all depends on you. If a majority of your friends are getting it for the PC/Xbox 360 and you want to play it with them, then get it on the one they choose. If you're just going to be playing by yourself, I would go with the Xbox 360 since you wont have to worry about upgrading your PC to run the game on the best settings.

Answer 29

Between PC and the 360, i'd choose the PC. Considering it might take time to download via steam and load it up, it's worth the pain. Portal 2 graphics is kinda downsized in 360. Textures look very bad. It's like playing in 800x600 on a 42" TV. i played it, believe me. Get the PC version. If it was between PS3 and PC, i would recommend you to get the former, since it comes with an additional steam code.

Answer 30

I highly reccomend PC, it is easyer to connect with friends for co op, and it is easyer to play (in my opinion)

Answer 31

When buying Portal 2 for the PC you will receive extra stuff like an editor and some extra DLC packs for the game. All the things that are included in the PC version are PC Exclusives.

Answer 32

Get it on PC, PC always kills Xbox

Answer 33

It really depends on you if the controls on the pc makes it easier for you to play then go for the pc if its the xbox 360 then go for the 360, but for me i would recommend pc because of its different updates that sometimes would be DLC for the 360.

Answer 34

If your PC can run Portal 2, then I would definitely say to get Portal 2 for the PC. If you get Portal 2 for the PC, you get any mods that might come out in the future, you get more accurate aiming controls, you get the abilitty to run custom commands on the console, and you get any custom maps that might come out for free. It's an all around better package.

Answer 35

9/10 times I would say xbox, but valve games are almost always better for PC - don't get me wrong, both versions of the game will be great, it's just the PC version will be supported a lot more with free(hopefully) updates.

Answer 36

PC if you have a good laptop Xbox if not because while PC can get you extras and a cheaper price its not good if you keep glitching

Answer 37

if you buy it forPC, you can play cross-platform, so you dont have to wait somebody to play xboy, there will be Mac and PS users too :) in XBox you cant...

Answer 38

I'd buy it for the PC because PC has better sensitivity with the mouse and such rather than having to preform those fast actions with a anolog stick.

Answer 39

U should buy 360 version because of achievements.

Answer 40

You should buy it for pc because its more easier to handle and you can get custom maps for it.

Answer 41

The PC offers more control to gameplay and allows for user content creation whereas  the 360 doesn't.

Answer 42

The PC version is the one that is the best so far. From what I've seen from the Orange Box, I'm sure that the Xbox 360 version won't get constant updates unless they are willing to change that.

Answer 43

PC its just easier if your like me you have it on the go (on a long plane trip, boring home, when your parents think your doing homework... etc)

Answer 44

In my opinion, the PC has better controls. And you have cheats for fun, and if you get stuck. You also have free online play if you have internetz. Not to mention possible updates, and a possible editor.

With the X-Box, you have to pay for online, the cheats are harder to use, updates might not be as often, and the controls (in my opinion) are less easy to use.

I'd say PC!
