Nah... that's Microsoft's and Sony's job.  Believe me, I own an Xbox 360, and  I definitely feel like I got boned whenever  I buy a game for it. Which is why I tend to stick to PC gaming.


Microsoft would be alot better if they didn't make us pay for everything pc gamers get free

Ah well life goes on

So it was brought up and search isn't letting me search, so...



what about the controls on the PC? I have the 360 version and I'm thinking of getting the PC version, but for the mods and whatnot, not the controls. Does the PC version have the option to run 100% with the 360 controller as if it were a console version? Since the controller works with Windows I figured it might work the same way in the game. I agree that it's a lot nicer to be in front of the 52" on a couch with a controller than with a keyboard and mouse on a fold-up table or something.

in an effort to avoid this thread turning rapidly into a flame session or something. We all know that Microsoft are con artists, and we all know that the only way most things ever happen on 360 is if we pay through the nose to get it. Especially ince microsoft recently patched to ban all 3rd party memory. Take my word for it i will be replacing the 360 with a PS3 as soon as i can.
I totally understand that i will never see user mods on the 360, unless Bioware deem some mods to be particularly good as some other game dev's have done in the past.
There are however some things that shouldnt even be an issue on 360, let alone have us hoping that possibly maybe if we are lucky enough to get a patch for one day. I will give an example.

in the fade, went through a mouse hole. kill the two baddies in that room. Saved as i hadnt done it for a while. opened a door to face three more baddies, got killed. Reloaded, because there were enemies in combat range in the next room, i was automatically in combat mode when i reloaded, problem is that the door is closed, and you cant interract with the environment in combat mode so im stuck.
i reset the console thinking that might fix the problem, loaded, still in combat mode,

that is the sort of thing that shouldnt be happening in a Game after release date, particularly on a console.


actually if you pull the left trigger you can select noncombat items such as doors, lyrium crystal thingies and dead dudes


Appreciate the tip. was trying to figure it out and may have saved me some minor hassle.

And that right there is whats ruining gaming today..
Every game is made for casuals..Like have a few beers and chill and play the game..
Im playing borderlands now and the problem I have with it is that its too easy and they didnt make a difficulty setting..
I cant play a game that doesnt challenge me as I get bored and it seems like a chore to finish it..

Saying you are boned to own the 360 version is way inaccurate. It seems to me PC gamers are jumping at the chance, and this is it, to trash a console version of a title, and their arguments against the console versions are extremely weak. The gameplay in the console version is equal to that of the pc's. The UI is different, but I can do everything using the radial wheel that a pc user can do using a taskbar, and in fact my screen isn't cluttered with that horizontal thing streaked across the bottom of my screen and the radial wheel has a limitless number of slots because it stacks. In fact I like it a lot better than the taskbar. Sure PC users have isometric view, but at least the console users have something I'd rather have and thats stability. Game runs flawlessly and as smooth as a baby's arse whereas PC users face bugs her or there causing crashing, lockups, stuttering, etc.....not to mention the intrinsic lack of optimization because of the sheer heterogeneity of computer hardware in peoples boxes. Graphics are just a tad less than the pc version and sure the textures aren't there but neither are the textures in the pc versions. The game was initially developed before mass effect 1 and the graphics on all fronts are incredibly outdated.

Sure the pc users have access to user created mods etc... but in all seriousness, most of which are complete crap. There will be plenty of "quality" dlc for consoles in the future.

I've played both the pc and the 360 and the differences i see are fairly insignificant.


Very well writen post.

:)



Good point, and I will add that I also experience hook-ups, endless loops and insane load times with my quad core...however, you are forgetting one thing that will make up for all these flaws...."User generated Mods".....one word...Oblivion. Thats game is literally a different game on PC. I owned the PS3 version and finished it 3 timeswith three different classes...no patches, DLC or content ever came out for it. Xbox 360 tried to release a DLC with only about 5 mods earlier this year for the Orrery, Wizards tower, and some others (mods that were created over 2years ago).

When I finished oblivion on my ps3, that was it, I ran around completing all the side quests and I was done. I bought the game for PC just recently and I almost cried..theres sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much user generated content for the game. That kind of stuff adds significantly to the replay value. I mean take a look at the projects created on this site alone...people have some interesting stuff already planned for this game in the first 2 weeks...

Take my advice and get a PC....its worth it

I stopped reading at the statement of rogue being the most useless class in the game. LOL!

hehe i was wondering when someone would pick up on that. I didnt mean it really, was just being provocative. its tricky playing a rogue after a warrior though. suddenly you cant just charge in and smash heads.

AFAIK, the PC version doesn't support the Xbox controller natively, but you could use the contoller software to remap all the buttons.

Why you would possibly want to use the controller on a PC when you have a mouse and keyboard, especially with such a menu and selection heavy game as this, is beyond me.

I would disagree about the "hideous" underwear too.  :P  I've seen worse.  Like NWN2 or Oblivion.  I actually think DA undies look suprisingly good.  WTG Bioware!

Mass Effect is tiny by comparison.
