    I've been putting off beating the first Mass Effect for so long, but I've finally made an effort to get to the end and now I'm almost there.

    Although doing Noveria at level 40 was a mistake.

    Still, at this rate I'll be done with Mass Effect this weekend, can power through Dragon Age and when Mass Effect 2 comes out I'll be ready to enjoy this collector's edition.

    WTF Bioware?

    I'm starting a petition and boycotting this game.

    OMG, what are they thinking?! They're ruining the franchise!!!

    Soooo angry....

    PS - who is Shepard fighting that would leave marks like that, Wolverine? Uhhhhggg....

    Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 on the PC were awesome-tastic. Baldur's Gate on console was...alright, but just feels really awkward to play. "Spiritual Successor" to Baldur's Gate? Definitely going to play it on the PC.
    Mine sits somewhere between the minimum and recommended, and your review there gives me hope that it will run just fine. #dragonageorigins

    I really want to play this game on my Mac...but I dread partitioning my drive, buying Windows 7 and running boot camp. It's a bit too much of an undertaking and money-suck just to play a slightly better version of a game I could experience on my 360. #dragonageorigins

    @ThisCharmingMan: Just torrent windows xp and do a 32gb partition install windows and install dragon age

    Dragon age origins is around 20 gb
    Windows xp is around 5 gb when it's installed

    So you'll still have some free space for mods, skins and all that crap. #dragonageorigins

    It's not always so black and white though. I like Xbox achievements and have the vast majority of my gaming friends on XBL, so it would make more sense for me to cop it for the 360--even if my PC rig was gaming quality.

    It's cool to hear that PC gamers aren't being shafted, though. #dragonageorigins

    @Trey: Because the multiplayer in Dragon Age is so important. And fyi the achievements are lame, it's just the usual story progress, get level 20 with the various classes, romances, etc. The only interesting one I saw was to do like 280 damage with a single hit. #dragonageorigins

    @Trey: I like achievements if they actually feel like achievements, or if they're interesting/fun to do. I'm struggling to keep playing this game as it is, I'm sure as hell not gonna play it like 10 times to get all the endings or whatever. #dragonageorigins

    In reply to Dragon Age: Origins - PlayStation 3 Versus PC
    From everything I've read, the PC version is the version, reflected by higher scores. The PC version is more tactical, has better graphics, and is $10.00 cheaper.

    But then again, I used a similar assertion in the Call of Duty MW2 thread and got flamed.

    Don't be jealous because the PC is superior. I don't give a damn if I'm a PC elitist -- There's a reason for it. I have all three consoles and a monster gaming rig connected via HDMI (except the Wii with component) to my TV, and given the choice, I always get it on PC. Better graphics + better controls = better experience. #dragonageorigins

    @Strangelove: There is just no doubt at all that pretty much ANY GAME is going to be prettier and better on a pc. This is especially true for a bioware game.

    That said, i do most of my gaming on my PS3 cause theses days im a cheap bastard so i do the swap out thing with blockbuster. Even though i greatly prefer a mouse/keyboard to any controller barring maybe the N64 controller. #dragonageorigins

    @Eulatos:

    That's exactly my point. I'm really not trying to be a dick so much as stating facts. It looks better and controls better.

    But there's different reasons to get games on different platforms. Example: I bought Borderlands for 360 because I have friends who only have a 360 and otherwise wouldn't be able to play multiplayer with people I know. It kills me, because it would look sooooo much better on PC (higher resolution, higher resolution shadows and shadow filtering, elimination of slowdown whenever you use the caustic/electric/flame attacks), but it was worth it. #dragonageorigins

    I'm not surprised by the results of this comparison. I think the PS3 version is fine for those who do not own a decent PC. If you have both the PC version is obviously the better choice. #dragonageorigins
