SO now that we have the inferior copy of DA will you still buy it?

Well i can't say i was following DA for a long time, only about 3 months and i had high hopes for the game but seeing how the reviews go, at least here on GS, will you still buy it? I actually might, I was going to get LFD2 until i played the demo and since i did i wont be getting the game. However, I also might not until more reviews come out. So far, IGN and Game Informer has give both version on the PS3 and 360 the exactly same score so maybe it was just over exaggerated on GS review.

What are you guys going to do, and if you did buy the game is it as bad as GS says?

EDIT: Well its good to note that not all reviewers say that the 360 version is the worst, in fact IGN says the exact oppisit. No matter what though since i don't have the PC i wont be able to get the BEST experiance. Moreover, now that i did preorder the game i'll have to pay for the DLC. IDK, i wish i had every thing lol.

Will be getting the more superior version, the PC.

The PS3 version has better textures, but framerate problems. The 360 version has smoother frames, but the textures had to be compressed to get a 20gb game to fit on a DVD-9. In the end it doesnt matter really. But something to consider is once youve seen the graphics, you get used to them and just play the game. Frame problems wont get fixed unless there is a heavy patch on PSN.

All in all, PC version is far superior. If you have to get a console version, either will be fine.

Not yet that's why I have gamefly should be here tomorrow or the next day :) XD4NTESINF3RNOX

We in the same boat. Hope it gets here tomorrow :D

Who the **** cares about graphics? If people decide to not get a game due to graphics that's their loss.

I bought it for 360 today. Wish now I had bought it for PS3. I will probably buy it for PC if i get windows 7 working.

I already the 360 CE preoered and it arrived today. I really could care less about the graphical flaws. I'm enjoying the game so far so I don't regret getting it for 360 instead of PS3.

This is slightly off topic, but, does Gamestop not carry the CE of the 360 version ? I have asked two different employees before launch on two different occasions at my local store and was told they did not know about a CE version for 360. The odd thing was however, that when I went to pick up my 360 pre-order, I saw one of the guys behind the counter put a couple of the PS3 CE versions of the game on the shelf behind him. I meant to ask him about it, but just didnt, now however I wish that I had. If there is, and I am assuming there is, I wonder if they would allow me to return the game for the CE edition that I am almost 100% sure exists (Probably a dumb question). What gives ?dukerav

Uhhh, yeah. People are making it out like the 360 version of the game got a 3.0. It's 1 (ONE) step lower than AAA. An 8.5 is a good score and I'm not a stickler when it comes to graphics. Bioware knows how to make a good game with a good story. This game is definitely a purchase, regardless of which version is better.

I"m a diehard RPG fan. And i do not own a PS3 and my computer will not meet the requirements for the PC version. I also prefer to play games with a controller as well. All in all, i'll be getting this game no matter what. It looks to be a great game, and a game without FANTASTIC graphics, yet an amazing story and some amazing characters, isn't always a bad thing. Conclusion, yes i'll still be buying the " inferior " version.

yes though im dissapointed my computer cant manage the game, for rpgs i always perfer to play them on pc, they just dont feel right for consoles

If I had not done the preorder I would have got it on the PC because I used to be a big PC gamer.

Having said that, I think its fine on the 360.Still fun. The graphics don't bother me.

It's pretty disappointing that we're getting the shaft here, but I don't really care that much (haha, I guess I care a little). I obviously prefer better graphics, but I really miss the character interaction you get with Bioware games. Seems like a great gaming experience regardless of the platform, and I imagine I'll be picking it up today after work.

I already bought it on the 360, the graphics aren't good but the game is so far. I'm not real crazy about the combat either but the story and character are great.

About the whole "inferior version" thing, I think GS was way too harsh on the 360 version to give it an 8.5 and the PS3 version a 9.0. After all, in the video review, the reviewer says that the PS3 version "looks noticeably better" but that it also has a few more graphical hiccups. To me, those two should balance each other out, but it certainly shouldn't be enough for a 0.5 score difference. Anyway, I don't think the score differences should cause anyone to second guess their purchase of this game because I feel that the score differences shouldn't even exist.

i was iffy on it, i may pick it up later but to say the least, i was never a huge fan and for me to buy it would be a small chance. HOWEVER, in response to your feelings, i never trust gs reviews anyhow. theyre usually way off my feelings. i much prefer ign and gametrailers.mattg90520

PC versions of games are 90% of the time a whole lot better than the console versions. It usually always ends up that way.

Never really planned on picking it up for either my PS3 or Xbox 360, always seen it as a PC game & that is how I'm currently enjoying it.

I'm currently running through Tales of Vesperia right now so I can't really handle another 60 hour RPG. However, considering that my 360 is the only machine that can properly run Dragon Age, if I do pick it up, it will be for the Xbox 360. However, I think I'll wait until Mass Effect 2 and then get Dragon Age after that game... or if I get lucky someone will figure, "OH HAI!!! DRAGONS AND NEON MAKE A GREAT PAIR THIS CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!"

I've played through the origin story so far, and I am absolutely LOVING this game. Although, the reviewers weren't lying, this is a fairly ugly game on the 360. Really wish I could've played on a PC, but, meh,the gameis still ridiculous fun on the 360.

I Bought the 360 version. i have a highend PC and a ps3 but most of my friends play on the 360 so being able to chat and stuff is nice.

Plus i'm ashamed to admit it but i like 360's achievements i guess they kinda matter to me / ps3's trophy system is kinda lame and a 2nd class after thought to me.

I pretty much play only ps3 exclusives and blue ray on the ps3 - everything else goes to the 360.

We'regetting the shaft because the consoles versions are a slightly lesser experience than the PC version.

Yes I will still buy it. For my PS3 :P

Even if I only had 360 I would still get this game on 360. It looks awesome and even with the "bad" review its still a 8.5 lol

Why not, it's better to play an 8.5-rated game (that's basically as good as the 9.0-9.5 versions other than a slight graphical downgrade) rather than not play it at all.masterpinky2000

Well I have played the game for twenty hours and only noticed one bad glitch. I think it was well worth buying it for the Xbox 360.

The framerates are MUCH smoother on the 360 and the water looks better, the PS3 has better textures though

If you guys had watched the comparison video, you'd know Gamespot was wrong :o
