Console v. PC
So I have BL2 for my Xbox, but for some reason I really want it for the PC (mainly for the graphics) but is there anyother difference other than graphics as in like gameplay? Thanks.

Console versions have split-screen but that's about it (and you can use third-party software to create split-screen on PC).

I do not have it on console but on pc the steam ingame browser can be helpful for looking for how to videos, finding players or using the wiki. I doubt there would be any gameplay differences though.

PC version of BL2 has some added graphic options. They are FXAA, FOV (adjustable from 70 to 110), adjustable resolution (console version runs at 720p), and most important PhysX for nvidia video card users. However, gameplay remains the same

I play about equally on both console and PC. The console version is for co-op with my son. The PC version is when I decide to run solo because not only does the game look so much better, but it's also a lot less glitchy. I'm much more likely to have my game crash on me or to fall through the ground on console. Plus I find keyboard/mouse much more fluid than using a controller.

There is not a major difference in the PC version and console version, i have played both and they are near exact the same. Only diffence really is that on PC you get higher FPS and better graphics and the addition of tarps that blow in the wind and blood and stuff that comes from enemys and stays on the ground like oil, slag acid etc. i do however find it more enjoyable on PC since I can aim faster with a mouse and as a result find using snipers actually fun than when i tried on console. Hope this helps.

Yes, there is.
I have this on PS3 and PC but the field of view on console is just way too narrow for me.
If you have problems with motion sickness then this is next to unbearable.
Also the loading times on PC are A LOT shorter.
And by the way: I think the PC version is actually one of the best console ports ever made.

or if you got a decent cpu, like a 3570k. BL2 barely usaed the cpu itself so you can off load low physX to CPU, though it makes my fps around 50 sometimes.

i5-3570k + AMD 7870.
