Forums - Gaming - Wait for PS3 Mass Effect 2 or buy PC Mass Effect 2?

PC all the way. If you can play Mass Effect 2 on your laptop you should be able to just about play 3 when it releases. If you wait for the PS3 version you could be waiting a long time. Mass Effect 1 worked quite well on PC, even for a console port and KBD+MS make the shooting feel much better.

Should I go ahead and start playing the Mass Effect series on my laptop which most likely will not be powerful enough to play Mass Effect 3?  And not be able to carry over my save games.  (I have no reason to invest in a powerful gaming laptop in the future because I only need MS Office for work.)   Or wait for the eventual PS3 port for Mass Effect series?

Why not get it for the PC, if you can run it.

Mass Effect 2 on the PS3? must have missed the announcement.....It's hard to believe Mass Effect 2 coming to the PS3 if they haven't released ME1 for it, or announced it(maybe a double pack collection set!!!(inner fanboy thought)

 

dead rising one wasnt on the ps3 but yet capcom is bringing dead rising 2 on the ps3 and pc even though the first one wasnt on either platforms, same with saints row 



Get it on PC if your rig can handle it instead of w8ting.



I got Dragon Age on the PS3 and really enjoyed it. But I do think that if you don't mind playing on a PC then Bioware games do tend to be best there.

If there ever is a PS3 version of Mass Effect 1&2 I think we would first hear about it in about 6 Months. Judging by the standard lenght of exclusivity agreements my guess would be that Microsofts old agreement with Bioware would be due in about such a time. Unless of course Bioware signed away for all 3 games from the beginning, and thus exclusivity would only end about 6 Months after the release of the third game. But that would be a rather unique agreement if it was the case.

That's because the PS3 wasn't out at the time, and Capcom never had a publishing deal with Microsoft.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

I'm definitely not investing on a xbox360, and it seems that EA/Bioware is not denying a PS3 port. This Geoff Keighley character says it's coming to PS3, but EA/Bioware can't say anything about it.


We get it, you don't want to get an Xbox 360 but want some major third-party games that it has.  Your decision is a no-brainer since we know for sure there's a PC version and if you really wanted the game that badly you would have gotten it along with the first Mass Effect on PC.



I would wait for it on PS3, despite what some may say, there is a very good chance Mass Effect 1 and 2 will be available on PS3 in the next few months.



I think your ps3 guts is telling you to wait so



Are you going to wait for the 360 version of MGS4 and the Wii version of RE5 while you are at it?
