I've spent about a month playing multiplayer on Xbox, using a 1mth free Gold account. So far the best I've unlocked is a BW3 and Paladin 2. Don't have any rares at X. Still have yet to unlock Salarian infil, Krogan soldier, and any of the Earth DLC characters.

I'm considering giving up playing on the xbox and moving to PC instead. A friend offered to give me his online pass, and I could buy a used copy of the game. It would then be free to play online, and I'd probably do better with a KB/Mouse combo than the xbox controller.

But I'd have to restart from scratch, and lose all my stuff. Would you do it? I don't play any other multiplayer games on xbox and don't feel like paying for a longer Gold subscription.

I'd give it up.

Not worth the subscription if you aren't taking advantage of online or other payed services (which you can access for free on PC anyways). I'd jump to PC.

Question for the PC guys, I'm actually dual-booting an imac, which has an ATI HD5750 card. Is ME3 playable on that card?

You won't be able to buy a used copy of the game as every copy is tied to an Origin account. So unless you can buy someones Origin account you won't be able to buy second hand.

Yeah, it's playable. I have a similar ATI card, 5800 series.

Remember, though, that you'll have to get used to keyboard and mouse controls if you haven't already played on them before. The PC version doesn't allow use of gamepads.

not sure about the specs of the 5750, but i'm playing with an hd 5770 and it works fine. that should give you an idea of the performance.

The PC game is tied to an origin account? That sounds silly.

But buying a used PC game will be pointless, the only thing you want from the box of a PC game is the code, you then add the game to your Origin account and  install the game from the discs or d/l it from Origin .

The boxes, with the DVDs in them, without the codes are worth like 2$, tops.


Since you don't play any other multiplayer games and don't plan to keep paying for XBL , go  for PC.

No more silly than the XBox game being tied to an XBLive account.

[red_ryder]

My friend has a copy of the game on the PC, and he never played multiplayer. Would I be able to link it to my origin account?

[Alpha 1 Omega]

I like mine thanks

Already linked to his.

I played on my friends xbox a bunch before buying the game for PC. I definitely like the PC version better. It's snappier, and the online community is much more mature (no missle glitchers that I've run into). I would say go for it.

[Knubbsal]

If your friend has ME3 on the pc, he doesn't have "an unused online pass". Pc does not have online passes as there is no use. The cd key is registered to one account, so you wont be playing your friends ME3 without being on his account. So no... either you're buying a new copy (or cd key from online shops) or you're not playing ME3 on the pc.

Blame GameStop.  Their second-hand crap is leeching God only knows how much money off of the companies who make the game.  When you buy a game new, you're supporting the company that made it because the store paid them for that copy and will pay for more when they run out.  With GameStop, they buy people's used copies and then resell them for $5 under the new price.  But the developers aren't included in that transaction at all.  Not a penny of the nearly full new price goes back to the people who spent millions creating it.  As you can see from the GameStops popping up across the nation (world?) like pustules on a plague victim, they're doing a great deal of business.  And their parasitic business practices are costing companies a LOT of money.  So those companies are looking for ways to discourage reselling of games.

Blame game companies who dont make games that actually are worth the full 60 dollars, hence why a lot of people (like me) laugh and buy the games for 20 bucks used.

I bought a code from http://www.cdkeysdirect.com/ and they email it to you so no need to wait for shipping or anything. I left my xbox live account with everything maxed out except for a couple gear items and the URs (I have a ton of all of them). I'm really glad I made the the switch. It's actually really fun to unlock all the guns again and you end up using characters you wouldn't have touched otherwise. It's made me a better player and a bigger fan of the game. The keyboard and mouse make it a million times easier to move around, shoot, and use your powers. BTW it took me about a month and i've got a handful of ultra rares, all the gold guns (not maxed), most of the gold characters (just missing a few). Then again, i'm a decent player and I play A LOT.

[jabber27]

btw it was $30 for the game. and it's new so you get to start your own account.

[Matiasvidi]

Again, ps3 is free! Sorry, had to say it, feels good to let that out every once in a while.

[SierraGHOSTN7]

Well, I'd go for PC. It's much better.

[Knight Isaiah]

Yes.
