360 here, your not the only one.

I wonder what is the ratio to console vs pc gamers for mass effect.

I am almost certain in respect to dragon age pc gamers out number console gamers on that one. I will really surprised if it was the reverse.

I'm gonna build a new PC for Mass Effect 3 so I can play it in 1920x1080 at 60 frames per second. I'm a console gamer as well but I think a cinematic game like Mass Effect 3 would be best on a system that uses the full potential of my monitor and audio setup.

My consoles are reserved for sports and Nintendo games.

Good show old chap.

Don't forget that Skyrim's on the horizon as well. You owe it to yourself to make sure your new rig is ready!

Strictly a PS3 player here, so i'll definitely be getting ME3 for it.

Consoles: Us poor people.
PC's: Rich people.

Of course PC is always better, but it costs a yacht and a half to build a decent rig. Consoles are affordable, and that's all there is to it.

CE 360 pre-ordered from Orgin.com. I own ME1,2 and now ME3 on the 360.

I also own ME2 on PS3,and I also plan on pre-ordering the CE at Gamestop.(Extras.)

Soon I will also own all 3 on PC,as I am nearly finished building my gaming PC. I can not wait to learn how to MoD the ME's on PC.!.

It costs maybe 300$. You dont need to start from scratch unless your PC is 5years+ old. 200$ for the card 100$ for the CPU = 60fps in all areas @ 2048x1152 (my monitor is slightly higher than full HD).

My CPU cost me 60$ 1 year ago, and the card 200, 2 years ago. So I think you are way off.

Of course you aren't alone, OP.

That said...PC gamer here. I'll be selling my PS3 soon, so will only be left with my (future) PC. You can buy a lot of computer for your money these days; when I first got into PC gaming, you "had to" buy a bleeding edge PC every couple of years with your life's savings if you wanted to max everything out and keep up with the game. But these days, modern PC's have incredible power under the hood, and even a relatively cheap gaming rig will muscle through most games.

360. I can't aim on PC.

Consoles are far more affordable than PC's and there's far less you have to actually tinker with on a console for those who are less than technically inclined.

Every time a PC game comes out, one of the first questions are

1. What are the Minimum Requirements?
2. Can my PC run this on the highest specs?
3. How much more will I have to pay to run at the highest specs?

When a game for the xbox is announced, it's the same as it was 5 years ago, you know that you will be able to run the game immediately out of the box without problems, without fear of "Error 76476374" or Compatability errors with any hardware you might have installed.
1.Consoles don't get viruses.
2. A lot of people who have HDTV's cannot use that TV with their PC.
3. Not everyone likes the Mouse and Keyboard interface with every game. For Starcraft 2, I'm sure it's wonderful, but when I played The Witcher 2, I found myself wishing I had a controller to move him around.


There are plenty of pros about PC gaming. But most of them do not matter if you're not interested in learning how the actual tech works.

Alot of the pros include:
1. Easy to install Patches that fix simple bugs
2. Modding/Custom Content

But in the end, lets say I dont' even know what a graphics card is, and I work 70 hours a week at my restaurant, and I also sculpt in my free time, and I spend a lot of time on riding my motorcycle, the ACCESSABILITY of Console gaming is far more attractive to me than having to think over all the small features.

It has nothing to do with your intelligence. It has to do with the amount of time you wish to invest.

The last game I played on PC (and continue to this day to STILL play) was Baldur's Gate II.

ME is purely a 360 game for me.

[SKiLLYWiLLY2]

PC here. I don't like using a gamepad/controller, especially for shooters. I'd also hate to not have all my powers mapped and have to use the tactical pause so often.

That's just the problem, me and every console gamer that I know have five year plus old computers. Being poor sucks, and so we can't do it. We aren't in this boat because we want to be, hell, anyone who says they are is merely being ignorant. Wish I had the money for that, but I have to stick with my Xbox... My computer is in fact from 2004 with a Nvidia 6200 graphics card and still uses BUS RAM... Gotta love my crap-computer, and it still troops on, I can run Oblivion on full settings. One day, I hope I can look at my computer and truly say, "Nice!" Right now I can only look at it and go, "You're still alive? Damn."

I think Javier pretty much summed it up as to why many don't play on the PC. I've got a friend that wants to play games like Starcraft II, but doesn't want to invest all the extra money into the hardware he'd need to play that game.

I thought the same at first, but now I can't fathom playing TW2 with a controller. =p

Anyways, I flip-flop back and forth between the console and PC. But to answer the OP, I have played both ME and ME2 on the Xbox, as since the game was originally a 360 exclusive, and since I had already invested a significant amount of time on the game, I decided to keep my ME experience on the console. 

[Hathur]

squee, don't sweat it... if it really matters to you what console people are playing on, just remind yourself that PC sales make up for something like 5-10% of Xbox/Ps3 sales when it comes to games.

If ME3 sells 2 million copies on the consoles, about only 100,000 to 200,000 of those units sold on PC.... we're a tiny percentage of the total gaming community... hence why many developers just outright ignore us.

Console gamers laugh at PC gamers for how tiny we are compared to them in terms of numbers.... about the only people we PC gamers can laugh at are MAC gamers

Strictly pc for me. My taste in games is more aimed at the pc (WoW, Witcher, Total War, Civ) + better graphics (if applied!). Besides never liked keyboard joystick-turning. Also my thumbs tend to hurt after playing to long with a gamepad (got one for my pc, double bonus).

At the same time, I can't imagine playing TW2 without the mods I've got

I got both mass effects on xbox 360, and I have all my games on 360 so there is no doubt I'm getting ME3 for the 360.

[Dice2624]

I started on the 360, and I'm going to finish it on the 360. I can't wait to get my Collectors Edition!

[Khran1505]

I've always seen how PC gamers have several advantages over a console gamer but considering how consoles are built for gaming while PCs have the odd chance of being total arses when it comes to graphical issues, I like to stick to the safe side.

Console gaming doesn't deplete the experience as some PC gamers would have you believe. It's different but not worse. I'm used to it and I enjoy it more than I'd do on a PC.
