Decision on 2 Game Versions Created 15 years ago2009-02-16 02:03:19 UTC by TawnosPrime

OK, so I know I want to get both Mass Effect and Lost Planet, but I'm not sure if I want them for the PC or the 360 (PS3 version of LP is out since I heard Capcom crippled the quality of game). While I usually lean towards a PC version of a shooter since the control scheme is better, is it really a good idea in these cases is the console version the better one?

I've played the Lost Planet demo on both 360 and PC and I would say go for it on 360. It's design kind of caters more towards the console, and the PC version is a crappy port anyway (sluggish mouse control etc).

Mass Effect I wouldn't know about.

According to the ever-reliable Ant, Mass effect for PC is super buggy.

Most companies don't spent time porting, and so there's tons shitty ports. It's usually better to get the game on the console it was originally made for.

unless you dont have it and cant get it

My brother got Mass Effect on the PC and never had any complaints. It looked like everything was fine.

What kind of bugs are you talking here?

Mass Effect for PC works fine. I've played through all of it personally without any problems.

No, I believe it's his dial up messing up the game. I have it on PC, I completed it on PC and I LOVED IT!

Wrote a blog a while back:

It managed to convince a few people to get it.

I had some time at work today to do a little searching on the net, and from all the images I found comparing the two versions of the games, the PC one is better for both of them.

Guess I'll just have to wait 'til I get a better comp before I play these games.
