Have they played mass effect 2 on the ps3 yet? No. Who knows it could be horrible or great. Also i've played the 360 version and from what i've seen of the pc version, the pc version looks superior.

Too late. The damage has been done.Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon said:
Microsoft thinks A regular RPG game just magically fits better on the Xbox 360?
Screw you bill! I thought you were awesome!
The point they are making is that they aren't bothered, due to the Mass Effect saga being incomplete on the PS3.Protocol95 said:
I completed Mass Effect 1 on the XBOX, then won Mass Effect 2 on my PC so I got none of the story I'd created carried over. I loved the game, it was great. Thing is that I recently bought Mass Effect 2 on my 360 and imported my character.
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GAME.
A much BETTER game, because I'd had a personal stake in what was going on. You can say "You can't miss what you never had" but the fact of the matter is when people met Garrus in ME2 they were glad to see him. Playing it on the PS3 wont give you that.
I'm not anti-PS3, I don't have one but that's only because none of the exclusives interest me apart from MGS4 and one game isn't reason enough to buy £300 worth of console. I'm simply stating that M$ are not being dickish about this, they are stating a matter of fact. People are so desperate to ***** and cry at them that they're LOOKING for things to ***** about. What does them forgetting to mention the PC have to do with the PS3 getting ME2? Nothing.

Oh, hey Steam, how's it going? Me? I'm doing well, not having to worry about disks in any way at all.
I think what Microsoft is trying to say is basically: You're missing out on a great portion of game and story by just skipping over to Mass Effect 2 on the PS3.
It's like if The Empire Strikes Back was going be released on DVD, while A New Hope stayed on VHS.

It's not even 360 exclusive in the 1st place. PC is a valid platform too.
I hate this console elitist attitude of "PC doesn't count". To think the PC gaming fanbase is known for elitism, how ironic.
OT: Dragon Age Origins was on PS3 as well. This is hardly surprising. Now that EA are publishers, they don't have Microsoft stopping them from going multiplatform.
Let's face it, the age of the exclusive is dying. The only company that's going to end up keeping exclusives eventually is Nintendo.

I'm gonna lead with: I love Mass Effect. I've played through one and two twice from the disks.
I guess nobody else has this problem with all the "it's best on PC" comments but I'll ask anyway. Does anyone know anything about terrible turning animations for the PC version? I only get an 8 point orientation but on ME1 I had smooth rotation while running around. Actually now that I think of it I don't have the greatest graphics card so maybe it's the settings but still any input would be nice.
In reply to this: both of them are diskless once installed. So if I'm careful with respect to the DRM (like, don't knock my case too hard or something) I won't need the disks again. Oh yeah; Steam is awesome but it's also better than the Devil at tempting (you to buy games with those magical sales, in this case).inflamessoilwork said:
