why do people even care about performance?  the game runs fluidly, graphics DO NOT MATTER! 

in fact, when I installed the game on steam after getting it on PS3, I cranked down the graphics as low as they would go because I Wanted the best performance.  You people and your obsession with graphics....sheesh.  


you cranked down the graphics because your GPU couldnt handle it, not because it doesnt matter.

 

No, but the real reason I cranked it down was something nobody on this forum would even consider rational, resulting in my inevitable laughing right off the board.  Long story short, I'm kind of an eco-nut and every bit of conservation helps.  Lowering the specs and making it run smoother that way means less battery loss, and over a long period of time can effect your carbon footprint.  I live a life of relative quaintness.  I don't have a big house nor do I produce a lot of waste, and the closest thing to excess I have is a lot of videogames and movies, so I try to minimize my impact with them as best I can.  

My computer was more than capable of handling it at it's highest settings.  I don't know if maybe you get off thinking you're inherently better than others for thinking your computer is beefier, but I enjoyed the game every bit as much as you did without worrying about processor speed.  so you can get off your high horse now.  (and don't bother claiming I'm on my high horse for attempting to be environmentally friendly, I didn't tell others to do it or treat people bad for not mimicking my actions.)  

LMAO, do you even believe your shit?

As expected, the PS3 version clearly wins, 3 games for the price of 1!


Fixed. You get the PC and Mac versions of the game with the PS3 version.

And this is precisely why I don't usually talk about this kind of stuff.  Also, mockery using LMAO is void.

Well I need to steal one of my parents macs then... Only 2 usable copies



Can we stop with the arguments? ^^; This is worse than a console war when we are including environmental issues in a gaming thread.

BTW, best way to protect the environment is obviously not to have children, because if you don't fucked it up, they prolly will do it in your stead, and most likely be a lot more efficient at it.

performance isnt a matter of graphics. even you just answered your own question with that's bolded. performance is the ability to have a game run properly. graphics is only visual pleasure that is wanted after we know a game can run and be played with minimal issues.

wtf, seriously? Im an environmentall guy, and what you said is crazy talk. If you were trying to be environmentally friendly you would have bought the steam version and not a version that has physical media!
