The 14th won't prove anything. What would have proved it would have been giving out demo codes FOR ALL PLATFORMS at the same time.

Well PS3 players have acess to ME2 dlc that i don't...

[ajax-wounds]

its progbably more to xbox paying ea and bioware extra money to get these sorts of promotions first etc. its fairly common.

pc isnt a platform represented by any one body and sony probably dont see the game as a major franchise. meanwhile its a sound investmeant for microsft as they have the entire franchise on there system and a long running relationship with bioware and ea.

it does suck but its how it is.

although the lack of high res textures or controller support is stupid since its been mostly easy for modders to take what was left in the previous 2 pc titles and reactive suport them selves. al bit not fully because of missing ui that bioware has access to

what im more suprised at is the lack of options for any dx11 features to be activated. I learn UDK at uni so i know that tech has been there for a year now. the only thing i can think of is bioware have heavily alterd the code of the engine themselves that would make the udk updates incompatible, but looking at it that doesnt seem to be the case as everything they do is already achieveable in engine now.

Thanks for asking though.

So why not give away codes for all platforms, instead of only for Xbox?

You DEFINITELY are. It's absolutely 100% undeniable.

Everything from Kinect, to the squad (all ME1 when PS3 players canny play it), the exclusive DLC, the early demo access.

It's ridiculous even denying it tbh

[Die Varieties]

OP, I understand your feelings since I'm PC but -- I'm going to just let be what will be. I've already given out two early release demo codes to other BSN members on the other thread and it makes me happy others can at least enjoy the early demo even though I can't.

Spread some happiness and somewhere down the road happiness will come back to you.

This is a weak argument, I have my share of complaints but I don't feel the pc is neglected. Lack of hires textures? *shrugs* unimportant, the gameplay is still the same.

And saying so because Xbox is getting the demo first is idiotic.

[Wulfram]

I have to think they'd be getting more positive reactions from people who were actually playing the demo than they are from slightly annoyed people who can only watch videos and nitpick

[wolfsite]

I can see Microsoft offering EA/Bioware some incentives or bonuses to get some exclusive stuff for the XBox 360.

Sony has done this with Ubi-Soft to get the Splinter Cell/Tomb Raider HD ports, also with Warner to get Kratos into the latest Mortal Kombat.

Nothing new here.

Yes... because Windows is definetely NOT made by Microsoft....

As for the whole high res texture thing, its not a big deal to me, and claiming they are ignoring us for not giving codes and then demanding they give us something no other platform gets (exactly what we are currently complaining about) is a little hypocritical. I would like equality (particularly with demos codes right now). Modders will give us our textures later.

Also UDK != Full Source Unreal Engine liscence... go learn DX9 and DX11 (or DX10 even, not that many differences code wise) and then tell me they should rewrite their engine with DX11 support...

[Siven80]

I dont really mind the codes thing.

But we will see what they think of PC gaming when we get to play it and see if mouse double-clicking, mousewheel scrolling, right mouse button and hotkeys are fully functional in the game unlike ME2.

Chris, I've always immensly respected you and the role you fill by trying to bring order to chaos in this community. I'm constantly amazed at how thick your skin must be with the verbal abuse you and Bioware have to endure from time to time. But this is where I am drawing a line. This constant favoring by Bioware/EA towards Xbox 360 players is really, REALLY getting old and even I am starting to get annoyed.

• PS3 gamers dont get to experience the full story with the absense of characters like Conrad Verner, Captain Kirrahe and other nice little trinckets that make this game so great
• I ordered the "Art of the Mass Effect Universe" hardcover book with Amazon UK, which comes with a DLC....Xbox 360 only
• I bought BF3 solely to get to play the demo early. I havent finished the single player, never went online. I only got it for the ME3 demo. And what do I see? Shop clerks and Facebook users get to play it before me, for free and yes...again Xbox 360 only
• Voice control...Xbox 360 only. Yes I know the kinect has it built in to support without much hassle for the developer. That doesnt make it suck less for us PS3 gamers
• Not a single Mass Effect Avatar for our profiles exists on PSN. NOT ONE! NOT EVEN IF YOU WANT TO PAY FOR IT! But on XBLive...etc, etc...

I'm probably missing a few things but this list is enough for me to prove a point. Throw us PS3 gamers a bone already!

I think it's pretty obvious that Microsoft forked out some cash to EA/Bioware, because no game developer in their right mind would waste time and money on kinect.

I don't know any PC game that uses double click, what?

And I don't remember that was wrong with the hotkeys in ME2 but I do remember switching guns was a real pain.

Er, you do realize that ME was originally a Xbox360 exclusive right?

And?

[devSin]

In all likelihood, MS simply makes this type of promotion easier for the Xbox.

If they wanted to do the same for PS3 and PC, they'd have to coordinate with Sony and EA California. And I'm betting that nobody at BioWare wants to have more than the minimum required communication with either of those two.

_symphony wrote...

Actually, the horrible ME inventory interface used it. And I think it had one or two uses in ME2 (I think you could double-click to zoom in on planets you were orbiting or something).

I think he's talking about the fact that there's really no keyboard shortcuts to any interface. Select something in the preferences window, you'd think you could just hit Enter. BUT YOU CAN'T. Open the journal screen, you'd think you could just hit J. BUT YOU CAN'T.

Except for movement, the keyboard was useless in ME2.

Ohh, dude... while I'm astounded that people really claim to do that, I feel obliged to tell you that you're really missing out on a fantastic game if you don't play it online.

Now that this is out of the way for me, you guys may continue your rambling.

Read what you wrote. And read the Topic title. If they are screwing us over, then they definitely are not ignoring us, thus his answer is 100% true indeed!

Just be happy we even get Mass Effect....I had to hear for years about how great Mass Effect is from my best friend and how i should have bought a Xbox....then it came out for PS3, so I am just happy we get to experience it at all.

Because PS3 (Sony) is poor and PC is dying. Have some futuristic sense, before posting new topics!

For years and years I've played UT99 > UT2003 > UT99 > UT2004, mainly assault and onslaught. I'm used to holding my ground / nodes / bases alone with dozens of tanks / vehicles / players rushing me with everything they got. I'm used to spam and doding spam. I'm used to fast, "unreal" action.

MW 2/3 BF3 is just too darn static & slow. Yawn....
