Spinitus6590d ago

lmao dude u should do stand up.

Juevani6591d ago

And u said I need an Xbox for what??

SilPho6591d ago

I find it funny that you say that, yet your picture depicts p*****g on the very platform you will be playing it on.

I'll be interested to see the specs for this one though, if it's not as bad as Crysis or Assassin's Creed then I might have a chance.

green6591d ago

Why do you consider this a problem?Dont forget what OS you will need to play Mass Effect on.

So in the end Microsoft still gets your money one way or the other,and guess were some of that money could be pumped into?Developing more games for 360 and Micrsoft games for windows

gaffyh6591d ago

This was so obviously coming to PC, hopefully it will be a little more bearable on PC, because on 360 is very very annoying. It seems like this RPG was based on talking and that's it, most (if not all) of the side missions make you just talk to a few people and then go back to the person who gave you the mission, that's it!

games4fun6591d ago

everyone who tells me to get xbox has nothing in any way to persuade me i would rather spend some extra money on a high end pc and enjoy pc gaming AND the 360's "exclusives" ill have gears,me, and gears 2 which will go pc months later lol and then ill remember i can pirate them just to stick to msoft if i want lol

pc(with pirated 360 "exclusives") and ps3 are great

Juevani6591d ago

ya all jumped on me like ya saw a golden d1ck.. damn, I also own an xbox 360( and bouth it for this game only) but if I kno i was comin to PC so soon I would have never waisted money on an xbox and rather used em to upgrade my PC cus I've already got a badass PC that just need a better graphic card.. see I waisted 4800 krona = 700$ which can get me a very good grapich card for the PC.. ya'll see my point?? or still green blind??

deeznuts6590d ago

While what you say is true, the fact of the matter is most people have already bought an OS, for you know, their PC. So MS isn't getting any extra money. MS owns the OS market, with Apple and Linux somewhat chipping away at it. They're not selling extra copies of Vista for 360 games being ported over.

They are losing sales on the 360 side though. For instance me. I was definitely buying a 360. Bioshock, Mass Effect, Gears of War. I havent' played them yet, and was waiting for 65nm to come. Now with this, I might as well just upgrade my video card. My PC already has a QX9650 in it.

I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed

Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.

toxic-inferno112d ago

I feel the same way.

I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?

Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.

Profchaos112d ago

Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year

jznrpg112d ago

I still haven’t beat Andromeda. I am waiting for a lull of good games in my backlog

P_Bomb112d ago

So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?

Rebel_Scum112d ago

Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”

ApocalypseShadow1008d ago

Good games but no Phantasy Star?

merlox1007d ago

Why do people forget Phantasy Star? That is one of my favorite RPG series. Another ther good but overlooked series is ,Y's.

anast1007d ago

ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.
