People saying it's wrong for Mass Effect to appear on PS3 were morons. Nothing - in any stretch of the imagination - could have been made worse by that happening.

Can't see where my double standard lies. Platforms better fitting for certain games should always have a higher priority for release over those that aren't anywhere near as fitting. FPS games and PCs for example, or fighting games and consoles.
You're perfectly right there, but my main problem with the PC vs. Console conflict is when developers delude themselves into thinking that consoles are automatically unable to handle RPG's without dumbing down (Dragon Age) when they could have worked perfectly with a few tweaks (Deus Ex).

Most of the people I saw saying ME had no place on the PS3 weren't PC gamers and were pissy about the 360 losing another 'exclusive'... much to the surprise of PC gamers who didn't realise ME was a 360 exclusive and had been happily playing it on their PCs.

Also, PCs do get their RPG releases, I just wish they'd been developed PC first as to utilize the advantages the platform offers (Oblivion, Fallout and Mass Effect for the horrible inventories that could've been way better, for one).
PCs get most western RPGs (if not all of them), including some European titles that never see console releases (and bless 'em for that).

I hardly ever play demos anyway, so I am not bothered as long as they release a decent version of the game proper to PC players.

FPS games are better played on PCs. It is to be expected that any and all FPS games should be released on PCs.
You realise you just proved Kasurami's "PC gaming crowds sense of entitlement" thing right, you know.

"OMG WE DON'T GET A DEMO AAAAAAH!!!1!1!111!!!1"

Come on, really? I'm looking forward to Bulletstorm but as long as the game itself works on the PC then whether or not there's a DEMO shouldn't matter.

Also, developers can release first person shooters on any platform they want. Or not release on a platform they don't want it released on, as the case may be.

LOL - yes, because pointing out that one part of three is being excluded is a sure sign of 'entitlement'. Fail.

OT, I'm not even surprised. PC developers have this bizarre idea that, despite piracy being easy and common, gamers will happily shell out without being able to check what it's like. Been several games on Steam I've not got because of lack of demo. Bleah, here's hoping that they bring one out anyway. Even if they don't, the footage looks promising enough to get once the price comes down.

Step 1. Make a piss poor port of Bullet Storm that requires a frankly ludicrous level of hardware to run.

Step 2. Bribe Websites to say these requirements are "surprisingly lenient"

Step 3. Don't release a demo and laugh as dozens of people buy a game they have no hope of running since they don't really understand PC specs but if they can run the most impressive PC game out there on high settings surely that's good enough to run a "surprisingly lenient" game.
...

Either you're trolling, or you need to upgrade your computer. Bulletstorm's minimum specs is comparable (and slightly lower in some respects) to Mass Effect 2's and Borderlands, and I didn't here any QQing about those being crappy ports.
Err yes, Bulletstorms minimum requirements are somewhat lower than Mass Effect 2's recommended requirements, though they are a fair bit higher than Borderlands recommended requirements but that's somewhat of a disingenuous comparison. You could run Mass Effect 2 and Borderlands simultaneously better than you could run Bulletstorm going off the recommended requirements.

And how come everyone is falling back to the old "you need to upgrade your PC every 18 months, or spend $2,000 on a system" standby these days? What happened to PC games running decently on 3-4 year old mid-range systems (e.g. Mass Effect 2, Borderlands)
...

I thought I made it obvious I was referring to the minimum specs of all three games. Huh.

The most common theme on these forums is the PC is Xerxes (yay, 300 reference). The amount of elitism is a thing to behold, then whining about how shitty all there games are due to the scourge of "console peons", so as a "console peon", "HA!".

Yeah that was a bit antagonistic but I am sick of the sentence "PC games would be so much better if they weren't a shitty port from consoles", it maybe true but there's no need to bang on and on about it. Like what you say will have any real impact on anything, it just serves to piss people off.

This topic (which has turned into PC vs Console, again) has been gone over more times than the great console war, give it a rest.

On topic. It's a demo, get over it. I didn't realize they were such a massive deal. buy the game on release, if you don't like it take it back saying it won't work, if you like it no problem.

I have played many a game I regret buying (Haze), it wasn't the end of the world.

Well, don't forget the PC exculsives, such as Serious Sam or Painkiller.
THEY didn't come out for the PS3/XBOX, did they? And they are one of the funniest games of the 21st century.
painkiller did come out for the original xbox

Both Serious Sam HD games did, actually.

Well supposedly, DRM must be integrated into a PC demo so that the non-DRM'd demo isn't used to crack the official retail release any faster.
To be blunt: lies. If you don't put DRM on the demo, it gives the crackers no clue as to what DRM you're going to use for the finished game.

Not that it makes much difference, anyway.

Waiting for the 360 version to leak early so that we can go "ha!" and point out the ridiculousness of their opinion.
