Sand Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) More platforms the better I say but I am still glad I got it on the XBox360. I am getting sick of the bugs most games have when playing on the PC side. I just want to put int he game and play, not worry about CTDs or missing textures, and whatnot. Consoles are just more cost effective and stable than PC gaming.

Bokishi Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 Consoles have crappy resolution though Current 3DMark
Sand Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) The resolution on my XBox 360 is no worse than the resolution I have with my PC. Not everyone can afford a PC like yours, Bok.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Actually, consoles can have great resolutions, as long as you have HD. And in any case, next-gen consoles don't have terrible resolutions at all. They look fine, to be honest. "Alright, I've been thinking.

Bokishi Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Not really, I mean 720p is only 1280x720, and 1080p is usually just upscaled 720p Current 3DMark
Sand Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Your point? It gets the job done and the job is done well. I mean, if I am getting photrealistic graphics on my console what more does one need?

Bokishi Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 My point is that 720p stretched out on 60 inches looks very jaggy Current 3DMark
Sand Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Yet when stretched out to 19 to 24 inches it looks fine.

Sand Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Its more like to each to what they can afford. Not everyone has bucket loads of money to spend on this sort of stuff.

You won't see any pixelishness or whatever you want to call it. Not everyone needs a 1700x1200 resolution. "Alright, I've been thinking.

Morgoth Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 A little OT, but I just found pictures of different versions of Mass Effect's boxart (and imo they're much better than the final boxart): Rain makes everything better.
Musopticon? Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Wow! The last two are pretty great. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Meshugger Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Why did they get the "nay"? They are superior in every way to the final one.

Hurlshort Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Why did they get the "nay"? They are superior in every way to the final one. Probably has to do with art costs. The more complex, the more expensive a printing job tends to be, especially based on what colors are used. The current cover is fairly simple. I really could care less. It's not like I hang my game boxes up for display.
Sand Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Its been officially announced that Mass Effect is coming to the PC in May. Hopefully that means that Dragon Age will come to the XBox 360.

Volourn Posted February 12, 2008 Author Posted February 12, 2008 WOW! That was a rather quick announcement. More evidence that BIO doesn't forget PC gamers... and, their money. L0L DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Sand Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Here's hoping they don't forget about their XBoxers with Dragon Age.

SteveThaiBinh Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Its been officially announced that Mass Effect is coming to the PC in May. Hopefully that means that Dragon Age will come to the XBox 360. Yay!!! No need to buy an XBox 360 now. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
Azure79 Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Yay! I knew ME would come out on PC eventually, but not this quickly. Still have to get a 360 for Ninja Gaiden 2.
