 Okay I have played ME1 on my XBox and liked how it played, my question is was ME1 better on PC or Xbox? What was the different between the 2? and is there going to be a tool set for this one like DA:O?

1 word: "RRoD".



Even ignoring that, PC is better. ;P

I think it really depends on which control set you like better. I'd hate to see this degenerate into a "console versus PC" thread, but having played ME1 on PC, I can tell you a few about it. First of all, BioWare outsourced the majority of the port and a different studio handled most of the work. They came up with a radically different interface that has quick slots (like an MMOG) and all of the squad commands and Shephard's skill on a screen accessible on an overlay that pauses the game and pops up when you hold down the space bar. The revised PC system works very well. Most game sites reviewed the PC version very well. It does have some small, minor problems, but I imagine most of those won't plague ME2 (although I'll be seriously annoyed if Garrus still has a low-res face texture).



As far as a toolset release, I doubt it, but there's been neither an official confirmation or denial, as far as I know.

The PC version was superior in many ways, such as the UI, but was slightly hampered by being caught up in the whole intrusive DLC phase EA went through.



If you have a decent PC, I'd say it's worth buying ME1 for PC and doing a canon run. You can get it for $10 or something now, I hear, and you've still got around two weeks to complete it. Hiweverm if you prefer console gaming then I doubt the Xbox 360 version will be too different.

PC version is always better. If you've been gaming on a console your whole life, it might take a little time to get adjusted to the m/k setup, but you (like everyone else) will find they're better than the controller.

People are still asking this? That's like making a "Maserati vs. Chrysler" thread. LOL!

The PC version was....well....the PC version.....bug ridden with tons of issues and waited over a year for a proper patch and so on. You get the idea....a complete nightmare for an unnoticeable improvement in graphics with the privilege of having to put up with a much smaller screen and the uncomfortable desk as opposed to the awesome couch and much larger TV screen along with far more comfortable controls of the awesome controller and the ability to have some snacks and a drink nearby without risking to fry an expansive computer.

PC=the expensive, non-cinematic, buggy and uncomfortable way to play a cinematic game.

360 and PS3=the non-expensive, very cinematic, clean of bugs and absolutely comfortable way to play a cinematic game.

Now I know this game is not going to the PS3 but I had to list because this comparison applies to all next-gen games on the market today. The better choice is very obvious.

The PC version of ME1 played flawlessy for me. I had no bugs of any kind.

The second point you make is one that console players seem to make often, which I find hilarious. I play my PC games on a 42" 1080p LCD TV. On my couch.

That being said, it really is personal preference. I don't tell console players to play game on PC, and I find it comical when they tell me to play them on consoles. I actually have a 360, but waited for the PC version of ME1 because I greatly prefer a mouse and keyboard for both shooters and RPGs.

Yes, in the end that's what it's all about. Whatever you feel more comfortable with is best.

I was expecting as much...the typical PC gamer denial response which extends to "I had no problems" while completely ignoring the well documented support forums and BioWare's own admission that the game was in desperate need of a patch even as the gamers were getting angry at its absence and had to wait over a year after the PC version was released which was 6 months after the console version was released and so on.

Frankly I don't even bother with the denials anymore....the FACTS are very well documented.

As for linking a PC to a TV....that's just impractical. I don't want to bring a computer there to either have wires lie across the way for my family to trip on daily and to deprive me of being able to have a drink and some snacks out of fear I'll fry the damn thing.

He always comes in spouting the same bull**** everytime one of these threads pops up. The guy probably hasn't even touched the PC version. His entire post is so completely wrong, I ALMOST feel bad for him.

PC:
Better graphics, Mods.

Console:
Can sit in a recliner chair while playing.

Honestly, I find it fairly comical when console gamers try to use the argument "PCs are expensive". An argument that is kind of null considering a machine that costs $400-$500 can play DA on high settings. Also, a console costs $300, and you need a TV to play it, so theres another 300-few thousand right there depending on quality, on the flip side, a PC gamer can go competely overboard and buy a system that will last them for years and years.  A friend of mine bought a computer for $1000 3 years ago, and he can still play DAO on high. Therefore, each "side" if you insist on referring to that, can say that the other alternative is too expensive. In reality, the only factor that should come into play is the preference for controls. A controller, or a keyboard + mouse. A PC user however can use a gamepad if desired, but a console user cannot use a keyboard last I recall. PC games can also use mods, which have kept games like Oblivion and Mirrowind alive for years, whereas consoles can be attributed to having a larger user base and the center for friend's getting together to play.

In short, you can **** and come up with reasons why your system is better, but you just look like an idiot doing so. Spare yourself and just stfu and say what system you personally prefer.

This topic seems like the perfect candidate for a poll (hint hint, OP). I prefer PC, for what it is worth.

You gotta think though the average persons PC isn't exactly in pristine condition.  But of course if you keep it junk free PC is superior.

But I'm getting the xbox version first so i can beef up my gamerscore.

Yeah and then at the lack of reasonable arguments the PC gamers start throwing insults and namecalling and spam insulting images.

And there's always the one that goes on to explain that you can get a top knotch computer for really cheap.....sure if you start checking dumpesters for broken parts and then god comes down from heaven to miraculously fix them. Not to mention assembling and the hours of work to get it running and the high chance it still won't run the game.

I just my biggest question is, was ME1 a port from PC to XBOX360 or the other way around. When it comes to FPS games I like my XBOX360 only because my laptop is great in every area but the graphics card only like 64mb so most of my games are on XBOX.

I like the 360. I just like it better. A computer is too complicated for me. I'm an idiot.
