Now the PC version is being released today.
I've played the previous version on 360 and liked it.
More lean toward PC since I just got the GTS512 card but still like the convenience of playing 360 on my 52" plasma display.

I'd guess the 360 user base will provide more fertile ground for multiplayer. i heard it's selling like hotcakes. But it's an FPS and mouse/kb will provide better controls, so its down to preference. personally i hate playing fps on gamepads.

FTR, I loved the first on the pc.

If it's anything as shitty as the original was, I wouldn't touch it with a 5 foot pole. The original didn't even feature the ability to change resolution until it was patched :roll:. After installing it, I noticed how user unfriendly (i.e. poor port) it was and just never played it. The 360 version (which I also own) was better made.

It's better than Vegas 1, a lot better. It still suffers from random bullshit like guys spawning and popping out of nowhere and console like aiming (seriously, shooting in doom 1 is easier). Just to elaborate on my last point, it feels like your sights move in increments, it isn't smooth at all. And slow nades, flashbangs, etc. I don't know what Ubisoft is thinking since it's still zero-g when they're thrown.

At least they fixed the number of checkpoints, by adding more, which lessens the frustration involved when it comes to dying and starting all over again.

Enemies spawning behind me really kill that game for me. That and the random hard freezes (only game I have problems with) that force me to restart.

I thought the graphics for R6Vegas were horrible- just didn't look good.
I'll get R6Vegas2 if it looks good. Please post with your graphic impressions. I'd like to hear a graphic comparison to the last.

The graphics are crappy at best compared to other new games.

I have a blast on live with the game. There are always a mass amount of people playing.

Graphics are better than Vegas 1, everything is better than V1 but that isn't saying much though.

The game is short though, just finished it last night.

I'm playing it now...friggin blast.

My GPU sucks ass though...playing it on a P4 3.0ghz, Nvidia 6800.....everything turned down to lowest, it'll still lag in areas.


The most fun for me is unlocking new cool shit to wear, and trying it on to make my guy look badass. Love the camo! Just got the orange camo :)

Hmmm, now I'm worried. I picked up the first one for PC at $6 a copy for lan parties but have not received them yet. I wanted to try the second one but if it's not all that much better then I'm not sure.

I'm definitely NOT getting it for the PC.

You still can't set the texture detail in the first Vegas game.

I also hated those nades that floated in mid-air when thrown.
