Did anyone else get Mass Effect 2 on both PC and 360?
I know it's kinda dumb, but I played it through twice (Paragon and Renegade) on 360 and then bought it for PC while it was on sale at Amazon because I heard it looked even better. I am now on my 2nd playthrough for PC.
Has anyone else done this? If so, which do you think is better? My money is on PC.
Mass Effect 2
Game » consists of 21 releases. Released Jan 26, 2010
After a violent death by an unknown force and a timely reanimation by the human supremacist organization Cerberus, Commander Shepard must assemble a new squad in the seedier side of the galaxy for a suicide mission in the second installment of the "Mass Effect" trilogy.
ME2 double purchase
" I've not done this, but if I had a PS3 I'd consider it as there's a rumor that the PS3 port of ME2 will be made with the Mass Effect 3 engine. "I didn't think it was a rumor.
How are hte textures on the PC, on the 360 some NPC's clothes were signifiacntly worse looking then their heads or other characters. That was one huge annoyance I had my first playthough, I'd imagine selecting powers to use would be easier but im not a pc gamer and trying anything besides portal is far beyond my comphrenshion skill

I played ME1 originally on my laptop (where it looked fine) but had to buy it again on the 360 so I could play ME2 on the 360 (because ME2 wouldn't play well on my laptop). When I eventually get a kickass PC, I am going to go back and buy ME2 again for the PC and use my original PC ME1 saves for continuity.
In short, I'm apparently insane. I am going to have two copies of two of the games in a trilogy.
Yeah, the unreal engine being used for ME2 on the PS3 is the one that will be used for ME3 on 360,ps3 and pc" I've not done this, but if I had a PS3 I'd consider it as there's a rumor that the PS3 port of ME2 will be made with the Mass Effect 3 engine. "
Well, it will look better, i doubt a lot, or atleast hopefully the textures will be more consistant
The PC version of a game is almost always the best version :/
PC version of ME2 has much higher framerate and image quality than the 360 version using just a mid-end card. It's also highly moddable, so you can get your Shepard to look almost any way you want. M+KB is also arguably a better control scheme.
I thought about this. I was thinking of getting both ME1 and ME2 for PC after playing them so much on 360. The only reason was to just play them again but with a bit more difference. I didn't do it in the end because I tried the ME2 demo and it felt odd. I've never played a cover based third person shooter on PC so the controls with keyboard and mouse felt as strange as Halo does on PC.
Meh, I still might end up getting them if I see them on sale before ME3 comes out.

You can see for yourself by downloading the ME2 demo for PS3. I don't think it looks any better than the 360 version and it actually glitches like a motherfucker.
The PC version looks better than both the 360 and the PS3 versions.
To answer the OP, I bought both the 360 version and the pc version (during the steam holiday sale).
" The PC version of a game is almost always the best version :/ PC version of ME2 has much higher framerate and image quality than the 360 version using just a mid-end card.Yeah, I was surprised by how well it looked and ran on my old 8800GT.
To answer the question, I have it for both 360 and PC, I greatly prefer the PC version.
Well, I got Mass Effect 2 for $25 but I know I'm getting the PS3 version. It makes sense to me since I never got any of the DLC anyway, and I sold my copy for $20.
Me. The gameplay is WAYYYYY better on PC but when it launched I didn't have a good enough PC. Now I do and I bought both games for PC. They look and run way better and play MUCH better.
