I still haven't finished ME1. I'll probably rent ME2 for the ps3 when I'm done with 1. If it's really as good as everyone says, I'll get it for the pc.
Mass Effect 2 on Ps3? I love you guys...

But MS has nothing to do with Red Dead. Not as publisher, developer, or anything.omicron1 said:
You might as well blame Charlie Sheen.
Did you play HD God of War 1 and 2 by any chance? When I finally get my PS3 I can't wait to try them, they were my favorite games of the PS2 era!meganmeave said:

Sometimes you come out with these quotes that just make me want to get on a plane to America and give you a high five.Onyx Oblivion said:
I have a PS3 and a 360 but I'd enjoy it if LittleBigPlanet came to Microsoft's console as well. That way my friend, who enjoys LBP, could play and create levels with it too.
And for a more selfish reason, he could help me get those damn group item thingies. And trading level ideas is always fun.

Blame Microsoft for them not being able to enjoy the first game. And while I agree about the story being a bit better in the first game, I found the combat far more enjoyable in the sequel. The combat in ME1 is the only reason I find it hard to play through that game again, I just didn't like it too much. And this is coming from a person who favors RPGs over shooters.Joshimodo said:
Yeah, Rockstar.omicron1 said:
Rockstar has done poorly on PC so they dont even bother anymore.
La Noire and RDR have nothing to do with Microsoft. It's all Rockstar.
You realize if Microsoft had it's way, it would also be released on PCs since they would profit from both, right?
Im sorry but for PS3 gamers ME2 coming to PS3 with or without ME1 first would have been better than having to buy a 360 just to get some backstory.
Not to say i havent played the 360 versions. Social activities do have advantages, so ill sum up what i think was better/worse in ME2.
For better...
Combat is the obvious one. Weapons and armor were simplified massively and removal of scope sway is a step away from realism. Which is a good thing.
Vehicle sections in general. Lets face it, that damned Mako left alot to be disired for an exploration rover. The Hammerhead was better at everything and I hope Bioware puts it in ME3. Although only available as DLC on the 360 version, DLC's included on the PS3 version.
Abuse of the Uncanny Valley [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UncannyValley] for the final boss fight. Seriously ive played Dead Space and nothing in there creeped me out more than that... thing did. Spoiler friendly even though everyone here knows what im talking about.
And for worse...
Storytelling was mostly overshadowed by all the action scenes.
Noticable 'jumps' in the cutscene film as the game switches from the main sequence to the cutscene you deserve by how you played the game or upgraded the Normandy.
I mentioned Uncanny Valley above, well now im doing it again. Characters are beginning to violate it with thier tuned up artwork in the PS3 version. Im sure Bioware will crack it by the time ME3 hits the shelves though.

If you asked me this question before Christmas, it would've been "The Twilight Princess". But since I, unexpectedly, got a wii for christmas, there isn't really anything thing that I am missing out on.
I play gaming on everything so I am never left out in terms of exclusives
As for some games going from exclusive to multiplatform tho I will always play them on there orginal console
Example I refuse to play MGS Rising on 360 but will love to on PS3, when ME3 comes out I will only play it on 360 I refuse to play it on PS3 if it comes out on it
One thing I do hate tho in terms of exclusiveness is EXCLUSIVE DLC it needs to stop

I don't blame anyone. Business is business. If PS3 owners want to experience ME1, go play it on 360 or PC.Nylis said:
The combat is actually BETTER in ME1 in my opinion, at least from a tactical standpoint. Combining biotics and tech to give yourself an advantage or pull enemies out of cover etc. was much more appealing than making all biotics and tech powers little more than an ability to make the enemy stumble and lose a portion of shield.
Microsoft, the supposed proprietor of the PC platform, hasn't published anything on PCs since 2007. And their supposed "return to PC" consists of several casual-oriented remakes/spinoffs of existing franchises - obviously marketed towards the Facebook group first. Indeed, Microsoft makes no money off a PC game sale unless the game in question uses their horrid GFWL service (which is why, I suspect, so many games use it), so it is in their best interests to keep games on the Xbox 360. I can see the logic in Microsoft signing a deal with R* not for exclusivity (probably 'cause R* won't bite on a single-platform limitation) but to keep the game off the less-profitable platform in hopes of selling more Xboxes and making more system licence fees.Mcface said:
I don't know, of course - granted, R* hasn't exactly done well on the PC recently (something that might be due to having released a buggy, ill-optimized port on the PC for full price six months down the road) - but I doubt Microsoft is innocent here.
On topic: I'd love to see Stacking and Costume Quest on PC, but apparently Schafer's publisher wants them to stay away.
You'll probably have even worse problems with PSN & NAT.Sniper Team 4 said:
I can't even get into a game of RDR online or Asscree Brohood. I haven't even been able to play a second of on-line for the latter... the servers are apparently always unavailable.

Not yet, but I plan too. I'm waiting for the price of the collection to drop just a bit more. I did get the Sly Cooper collection, which I never played on the PS2 - I was surprised how fun a platformer it was!
And of course, I am really looking forward to the Ico/Shadow collection when it comes out.
I will try to be on more. I actually have been gaming too much, and haven't been getting on the old laptop. I know, tragic right? I've been on the PS3 the last few weeks, so that would be why you haven't seen me on XBL.
