you want the developers to make a great game for you? get the console edition, crashes are guaranteed to be fixed, bugs are immediately corrected, as long as you give the money.

you want to make a great game by yourself? get the PC version, tedious bug solving and crash fixing, but everything is yours, you can make your own weapons, your own places, your own animations, even your own game from scratch. Or you can just download free mods made by other ppl.

Oh yeah people, I just realised something while looking at the Fallout:New Vegas interview on the Playstation Blog.

The game on PS3 has an install of 5GB, which obviously will help towards loading/overall game performance.

If I remember right, Fallout 3 on PS3 only had cached data, and no install that we had to allow beforehand.

Why spend $299 on that when you can buy a $130 PC, an $89 copy of Win7, and an $85-$125 graphics card and have access to mods. :shrug:
(and if you have a PC.... Just spend the $299 on a better graphics card and power supply)

Well, for me, it's mainly due to knowing [censored] all about computers.

There is really no call for that. So they had problems, and decided to not let that happen again. It happens. Don't condemn them for that. :cryvaultboy:

(this is from parts... you can get bare-bone PC's that are mostly pre-built.)

I have an old 360, and yes the first one I got smoked and blew fire out the back. I took it back and have no problems since.. I got FO3 when it launched and never had one issue, maybe I was lucky. I am concerned by this pvssyr of the 360 having a memory leak and multiple issue this go round.. I s there proof or some thread or post that could back these claims up or is this just hear say.. I look foreward to tonight when I get my copy at midnight!!!

Oh no...please tell me they aren't shipping the game in ant colony form like FO3... :facepalm:

I dunno...better graphics and sound, mods, a PC can do a lot more than run games, etc. To me the question is, "why spend $299 on an Xbox (that can do nothing but run games at low/medium settings) when you can have a PC for $500 (that can do everything a PC can do plus run games at higher settings)?" To me the answer to that question is "simplicity," which is a totally valid reason.

Anyway, I have both. I just like to play devil's advocate.

Lol @ "viruses" as a reason to avoid PC gaming, though. I've been gaming on PCs for 22 years (gaming overall for longer than that, and I've always had consoles too) and I've never gotten a virus. Ever. I install NOD32 and forget it's there. Done and done.

Also: telling people to "get platform X" to solve their problems on platform y is unhelpful and rude. Please don't do that. People deserve respect and have the right to choose whichever platform they want and have their games work properly.

Still not sure of the purpose of this thread.

If this is thread for PS3 issues, we have that. If this is a thread on Platforms, we have that.
