Forums - Microsoft - EA PR Confirms Mass Effect 2 PC/360

Methinks you haven't played Saints Row or Mass Effect to understand the difference.

Well, you're wrong, I played both Saints Row 2 and Mass Effect for PC

Then you'd understand that Saints Row 2 was loosely connected to Saints Row 1. Your character dies at the ending of SR1, which does pave the way for SR2, but in such a way as to not interfere with a new player getting in on a Saints Row game for the first time.

On the other hand, Mass Effect is very plot-driven, and I highly doubt the story is going to be as forgiving as the story arc from Saints Row 1 to Saints Row 2.

It's like putting someone in the middle of The Empire Strikes back, and thinking they're going to already understand the whole idea of the Star Wars series vs. having them thrown in on a Friday the 13th sequel. Big difference.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

It wouldn't really make sense for the sequel to go to a system that doesn't have the original. It's one big story unfolding.

Then it wouldn't make sence for 360 owners to get Final Fantasy, the 360 doesn't have the originals like the PS1 and PS2 do, why should they get 13?

You'd have a point if the Playstation 3 could play the 'originals'. Also, the 'originals' are on Nintendo systems. Not Playstation systems, so your point is kinda bunk there too.

 

 

Well, you kinda get what I mean, they originated on nintendo yes I know, but the majority of it came on playstation 1 and 2 afterwards (yes I also know they came out for DS aswell), then they decide to put one on the 360, doesn't really make sence imo.

6 Ninty exclusive

6 Sony exclusive

1 soon to be Sony/MS

 

That's not much of a majority

 



great I can save some money and not buy a 360! (I'll be getting the pc version), and I don't mind if I have to wait in case the pc version comes out later than the 360 version. Still, might get a 360 anyway...? but not at the current price & packed in games.

Good to hear for Microsoft, it helps them to keep differentiating themselves with more exclusives, which I'm all for! Mass Effect 2 will be AWESOME, can't wait :)

 

When I think exclusive, I think one platform. If people who don't own an xbox 360 are able to play it, it isn't exclusive.

When people say exclusive, they mean console exclusive. Sure, it is not what the word exclusive means, but it is the implied meaning when used in context to video games. People arguing against that are as bad as the people that say "to be fair, all computer games are CGI since they are computer generated." No, that is not the meaning of CGI in the game industry and neither is what you believe exclusive to be.

It's fine that you have an opinion as to what the word should mean, it's just not correct when applied to the console industry. 



Good news Everyone!

I've invented a device which makes you read this in your head, in my voice!

we had a rumor form a source who works in EA that said the game is coming to PS3 and it will be announced in GDC . this source just doesn't confirm the PS3 version.that's all.they might do it in GDC like the rumor suggested.

I think if it was only for 360 and PC they would come right out with it and not play all these games like:


"the PS3 information is inaccurate"or "we are not confirming the PS3 version".

As long as EA doesnt make the PC version for GFWL its good. Still PC/360 is not 360 exclusive since its being released on PC.

This. I went to a couple Gamestops and they said the game - SR2 - wasn't selling and even returned because folks just didn't get it. You really needed to play the first Saints Row to understand what really went down. I even got an Achievement for tracking down Julius from the first game. You wouldn't even know what he was all about by just playing SR2.
