So this thread got me thinking about my multiplatform games and thinking why I got each game for each system.
So I'm curious for you people who had to choose what platform to get a game, why did you choose the platform you chose? Note that I'm not interested if you only have X system and that's why you bought the game for that system.
For me:
- Dragon Age: Origins (PC) - I wanted the editor and it's not good on consoles
- Left 4 Dead 1/2 (PC) - I wanted the editor and played often at work with coworkers
- The Orange Box (PC) - best version and cheaper
- The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PC) - best version
- Unreal Tournament III (PC) - best version and I wanted the editor
- Red Dead Redemption (360) - friends on XBL
- Super Street Fighter IV (360) - friends on XBL, D-Pad equally bad on both, I could get a snazzy controller for the 360 easier
- Bioshock 2 (360) - achievements
- Bayonetta (360) - best version
- Borderlands (360) - friends on XBL
- Left 4 Dead 1/2 (360) - friends on XBL
- Call of Duty: Modern Warefare 1/2 (360) - achievements, friends on XBL
- NCAA games (360) - achievements
- Madden games (360) - achievements
- Red Faction: Guerrilla (360) - better version
- Bioshock (360) - only version at the time
- The Orange Box (360) - achievements, better console version
- Gears of War (360) - PC couldn't run it well, prefer controller/couch
- Mass Effect 1/2 (360) - PC couldn't run it well, prefer controller/couch
- Saint's Row 2 (360) - Achievements
- The Elder Scrolls IV - Game of the Year Edition (360) - Achievements
- Eternal Sonata (360) - only version at the time
- The Force Unleashed (360) - achievements
- Fallout 3 (360) - Achievements
- Blur (PS3) - only version I could find
- Final Fantasy XIII (PS3) - best version
- Batman: Arkham Asylum (PS3) - free DLC
- Dead Space (PS3) - wanted a game with trophies
Note when I say achievements, I mean I prefer achievements over trophies. Simply a personal preference.
