Forums - Microsoft - Mass Effect 360/PC Question

Go with the X360 version, simply because it's on a console, it's a great way to start off your X360's life, and you get acheivements.

There are achievements on the PC version as well. Though they obviously don't have any other use outside the game unlike a gamerscore. As others have said, you get better graphics if your computer can handle it, the texture pop-in exsits but it's minimal compared to the 360 version, the keyboard and mouse will give you better control in combat, and I believe the bring down the sky DLC was free for the PC version (don't know about this new one).

You can't go wrong either way. If your computer can handle it, then I'd be tipping the scale to the PC, but that's just me.



if you buy it on consoles get ready for massive texture pop ins. when the game starts and only part of it is loaded in, it is a freakish sight.



Texture pop in? What the hell are you guys talkin ab....

 

Oh yeah it does have horrible texture pop in and it does kinda lag.



Your save file from the first is supposed to carry over to the second on so that any team mates that have died, or other choices you made in the first, will carry over to the second.

Therefore, if you intend to get ME2 for the 360, I'd get the first for the 360 as well.

Yea, when you see a texture look all muddy for a while before becoming normal.

Aight PC it is. Thanks!



XBox Mass Effect should be dirt cheap used.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

PC version apart from better graphics , no pop-in textures and no ugly frame drops also has improved team managment and better Mako controls.
