Microsoft: Mass Effect Not Ideal On PlayStation 3

[Pearwood]

About time, the only things that should be exclusive are things published by Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo

 

[Nazz3]

I played through second one without playing the first. Its not that confusing really

 

[Bran1470]

oh well i already have mass effect on steam so i guess ill buy mass effecy 2 for the ps3

 

[oooooooooooooooooooooooooo]

I don't understand this. The people who have 360s are still going to get the Mass Effect games for the 360. The people who have PCs are still going to get Mass Effect games for the PC. This only means the PS3 crowd get to play the game as well. The damage to the Microsoft market is either going to tiny or non-existent.

i wonder if this means it wont need 2 discs.
this is good we need to break down exclusives.

Yeah I'm an Xbox user, and even I won't drink this kool-aid. I hate it when any of the the console companies start running thier mouth. I hope we are starting to see the death of the console exclusive creeping up. I know you'll still have the first party stuff out there(no way your wrestling pokemon off of nintendo hardware) but 3rd party exclusives need to go bye bye.

It was never an exclusive to begin with. If it's available on PC as well it's not an exclusive. Duh.

Without the carry-over, ME2 feels...incomplete. It's still more than playable. But there's a lot of little things...And it just didn't feel right when I started over without an import character.

I agree. I would also be concerned about establishing the universe for new players. ME1 has a much better introduction than ME2 in this regard because... well... ME2 is a SEQUEL!

Especially since you apparently made the WORST possible decisions all the time (killing the Council in particular.)

Anyway, apparently Microsoft has completely forgotten that there is a PC version of both games.

 

[GonzoGamer]

No mention of the PC MS? I thought you were bumming us every chance you got now?

...

[small]And the PC version is the definitive one.[/small]

That's what I was thinking. ME (the first one at least) was best on the PC but they have to push the 360 beyond PC because they make money off hardware and/or online subscriptions. A lot of companies make PC hardware. I kind of wish they did the same thing with the 360: allowed a bunch of other electronics/pc companies produce the hardware. I bet you someone would've gotten that rrod problem solved more quickly.

This really is unexpected news isnt it i mean i nearly had a heart attack, i mean if bioware had said it it might actually be an important thing but whateverr ill just continue playing on the PC

 

[GonzoGamer]

Yes... the meat vendor says that his meat is the best and that everybody else's meat sucks, and the reason we should believe the meat vendor in the first place?

One of my favorite George Carlin skits ever:

And now a message from the National Apple Institute - F^@& Pears!

 

[AVATAR_RAGE]

Why would porting a game like Mass Effect be worse on a console with more blu-ray disc space? Surely they can cram better graphics, more extras etc onto a blu-ray!

I will still get this despite not playing ME1, if it mattered THAT much about carrying a save over then they would have made a ME1 for the PS3!

EDIT: Ok! Stop quoting me saying I'm an idiot and don't know what I'm talking about! It's a personal opinion!

im borrowing my m8s 360 to play the 1sy one just a thought for ya

 

[YuriHellsing]

people should'nt play it on the xbox they should play it on the PC the only reason to play it on the xbox is if you can't play it on the PC

Okay, that got a chuckle out of me.

The funniest part is how Mass Effect is still better on PC.

Yeah, you guys have mods and squad control and mouse aiming and downloadable saves and no disc-changing but you know what I've got? A couch I can play from!

 

[VanityGirl]

Microsoft doesn't think gamers should play Mass Effect 2 anywhere else but on the Xbox 360.

Is that news? Bwhahaha.

Microsoft shouldn't talk smack though, they need support and trying to tell gamers their console is the best is probably not a good selling point.

microsoft. I hate you! This game will pwn on ps3! Everything is better on ps3 : P
