Let the Orginal Poster complain all he wants, if it is true then for once in the history of multiplatform games it was the console version that was poor instead of the PC version.



Reason why console to PC ports ussually are poor is instead of bring the game up to code with a PC they just bring over the capped contents of the console version. In a more explained terms due to the more advanced hardware and software coding the PC recieved we have a larger limit on what our Machines can do, console are stuck working on a varaint of Directx9 that has some Directx10 elemetes included. PC gamers also get more advanced lighting features again due to coding but also in larger part PC gamers ussually have more RAM then the consoles, thus more work space room.



Also one finally point PC gamers are the only ones that can legal mod their games. If you put a mod on a PS3 or Xbox360 expect to see your Live account banned due to breach of EULA. If you don't know what that is then you really should check the paper work that comes with your console.

They said they have included DX11 which is PC only. What effort did they invest in PS3 or XBOX360 only graphics? Zero. So PC once again will ahve the upper hand. The lead SKU is PC, we will get a sloppy port.


And how should the somewhat dated consoles support DX11 features while maintaining a decent framerate? PC technology happens to evolve, while consoles are locked until the next generation arrives. Both consoles and PC have their advantages and disadvantages. And, honestly, the ammount of sloppy ports on PC isn't small - with quite a few releases (and especially DLC) being console only. The gras isn't always greener on the other side.

If it's a sloppy port, just buy the pc version, you want to send a msg to companys, don't buy the product, making threads like this is pointless other then to have ppl troll on it.

The fact is, the most money comes from console port games most of the time, only have to look at DC Universe, which only just is doing better on PS3 and is a better port then the PC version, it's a well known fact that the PS3 console ports of Dragon Age wasn't as well ported as Dragon Age was ment to be a PC/Xbox only game till they had a change of mind, which led to Dragon Age coming out later, and mutli platform.

Not really a good example, DC Universe is selling better on PS3 because PC users have a plethora of good MMO's to choose from compared to console users who have hardly any.  Not to mention DC Universe is too shallow when compared to most PC MMO's.

Well I agree that the console version of DA:O was away superior on the PC because it was created to that specific platform, but we have something similar with Mass Effect 2 where the PC version is kinda bad and it is clearly a port.



I still like my PC but in the end people have to choose what platform to play because some games do better on the consoles and other on the PC and I would not worry about DA 2 I bet the console version will be good and probably we "PC Nobles" will have some bug fest to party with. :D

When I read "Consoles get shoddy ports from PC" I almost choked in laughter at the irony of the statement.

*Looks at 360 version of ME1 then at the copy of same game on PC

....What about the shoddy port onto PC OP?

Yeah, game ports are not perfect and your point is? I would rather have a game available for the system I own then to only have it available on other systems. Who cares if your game has worse graphics, you still get to play it.



In Short: You Mad!

Reparations!

I'm sorry OP that's wasn't very constructive of me...

I enjoyed DA:O on PC far more than on 360 or PS3 too. Isn't choice grand?

I would have gone with common, misleading, and predictable as adjectives myself.


There is a very effective way of proving your point:  Don't buy the next game.  Period.

Pre-emptively failing a game that is not yet out, and when there is every evidence that they are making it more console-friendly, especially in a very confrontational tone is not a decent way to start a civilized conversation.   What do you expect them to do, stop by and say sorry?  :blink:  You are either late to the party, or at one that hasn't started yet.  They aren't going to remake DA:O for anyone.  You can't judge DAII yet because it isn't out.   They are very open to constructive criticism I have found, BUT:  If you expect to be heard, you may want to reconsider your tone.  

I got PS3 version first and switched to PC because I enjoy the resolution of my monitor and being able to mod it.  There are more choices out there.

OP is borderline trolling...though perhaps not on purpose, as DA:O really was ported rather crappy to consoles. But seriously *if* BW would *really* play to the strengths of all platforms PC would have to look the best by a *large* margin (and not just get the regular "higher res + more AA" treatment that is so common nowadays).

I'm still 99% sure though that, once again, the PC version of DA2 will suffer the console low to medium res textures even though there is zero reason to not include proper high res textures for the PC.

 Well, with his one man boycott and lack of researching anything about the upcoming game, I'd use the term narcissistic.

While I support good console "ports", DA2 is not a port. It has been developed on each system and from the sound of it a lot of effort has been put into much improving the controls and interface for all of them after the feedback from DA:O.

To PC gamers, please do not flame this thread. Just try to imagine how you'd feel if you always got sloppy ports instead of same plaftform development you always get. Support our cause if you find it in your hearts.

You mean like Dead Space 1? ;)

The PC (mouse) controls on that are still virtually unplayable. Thankfully it had 360 controller support... and the DS2 controls actually work on the PC.

There are plenty of sloppy console -> PC ports.

Wait, so you expect them to somehow add DX11 support to consoles that do not support it? You do realise DX11 support is hardware based, not software based right?

Consoles are limited by CPU, RAM and GPU capabilities, high-end PCs are always going to be able to exceed console graphics.
If you don't like that... well you can complain, but it will make no difference.

This post is not an attempt to flame you in any way, I am just pointing out that your expectations are unrealistic.
