Microsoft: Mass Effect Not Ideal On PlayStation 3

[Bigsmith]

"With both Mass Effect titles launching first on Xbox 360 combined with the wealth of available paid downloadable content on Xbox Live today, Xbox 360 remains the best place to experience the Mass Effect franchise. And the original Mass Effect is absolutely an Xbox 360 exclusive, making Xbox 360 the only place to get the full Mass Effect

Wait, you can read the books on the 360 too? That's hardcore man. Very hardcore.

Oh and nice one Microsoft for FORGETTING THE PC.

Was about to say this, I hate the way they are claiming it be an exclusive for the X-box weather or not it came out for pc. This is slightly annoying, I love the game on P.C. I wouldn't play it any other way.

I'll stick with the PC of both. Better than the both consoles combined.

In related news, Pope says people should stay Catholic.

HAH!

also keyboard and mouse fo' eva!

And the original Mass Effect is absolutely an Xbox 360 exclusive, making Xbox 360 the only place to get the full Mass Effect experience.

So in Microsofts reality, the PC is not a gaming platform.

Sure. Who do they have to compete against for gaming and OS? Sure apple has what... 8% market share? No real contest there.

OT: This actually makes me sad, not because I think it's not fair or anything, but the idea of exclusives going away. Software should define which console you buy, and exclusives are the way to do that. It's okay Bioware, I still love you.... as long as you don't screw up SW:TOR.

exclusives are bad for customers, saying otherwise basically calls yourself out as a fanboy moron.

also linux is probably a more capable gaming platform than mac, its that bad.

Rather ironic you call me a "fanboy moron" in the same post as "keyboard and mouse fo' eva!" I'd make a pot and kettle reference, but more appropriately the raven calling the dove black... also, which company am I a fanboy of? Considering the only game I propped is for the PC... which you are a "fanboy moron" of yourself.

If you understood why I was saying exclusives shouldn't go away, you would think differently. My argument for exclusives is that hardware shouldn't be the number one reason you buy a game console. Sure it can double as a dvd/bluray reader, but what are the games on it?

Lets talk about the triple-A exclusives. A triple-A title will maximize the machine's current potential, and draw interest from people to purchasing that piece of hardware. When games are ported cross platform, because of the development time gone into the process of porting, the maximum effect is diminished. Barring errors and mistakes through a port, or certain exclusive content on a particular console, what incentive does a multi-platform game give to entice potential console purchasers to making a decision? Almost none.

Big triple-A exclusives are what should define consoles and be the incentive for console sales. Removing exclusivity, it reduces the machine's total potential, and doesn't help consoles sell.

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!

You're not stupid nor an idiot. It's funny how well you predicted the future

 

[Wintermoot]

I don,t see why not?
in some aspects the PS3 is more powerful then the 360.
Also the PS3 has BR support which means they can stuff more content on one disc.

Microsoft tends to be such a Troll... Haters gonna hate...
