So, I've only just started Mass Effect 1 a few weeks ago and I am loving the hell out of it. A place in Australia is doing a sale for PS3 copies of Mass Effect 2 for super cheap (... well, for Australia). I was wondering, should I get Mass Effect 2 on the PC and continue from my load, albeit at a more expensive price, or does the PS3 version's comic do justice to most decisions you make in ME1 that I can just start ME2 on the PS3? It's also much more comfy to play... what do you guys reckon?

I liked the comic but heard that there were a LOT of micro-decisions that weren't even mentioned that could potentially have a very subtle impact on Mass Effect 3.

However, the PS3 version does come with all of the DLC.

Depending on your PC hardware definitely the PC version.  PS3 version has some known technical issues/glitches.

I would just stick with PC. If your computer can run it at good settings then I dont see why not. But if you are doing everything at low and don't mind carrying over your decision through the comic on the PS3 version then go with that. Either way you are going to end up playing a great game.

Yeah my PC right now is rocking Mass Effect on low, so I don't expect it to look good on the PC at all, so I was leaning towards the PS3 version actually. Oh, that's cool that the PS3 version has all the DLC, I think I might go for the PS3 version then... had a look around at the technical issues with the PS3, and they seem to be resolved apparently. Alright, cheers guys!

PC all the way. Being able to import Mass Effect 1 saves makes it a much better experience. The comic misses a lot of stuff and you'll miss a fair amount of references from characters in the second game. Plus I wouldn't be too surprised if the PC version on low at least equals the quality of the PS3 version. Either way though I'd take slightly inferior graphics if it meant I could have the complete experience. I should also add that Steam sales are on for another 5 days. You might see Mass Effect 2 show up incredibly cheap.

It was $5 on D2D last week.

pc save for sure

@filthreaper: Hmm, that sounds alright. Did you play ME1 on the PC and load your save over into 2 when you did the PC play through?

I'd say watch the Steam sales first, then make your decision if it doesn't show up.

When NPC's related to the first game comes up and greets you depending on the choices, you feel like you accomplished something. You miss out on a lot that wasn't related to the big choices.
