Are Fallout 3 + Mass Effect 2 best played on console or PC?

Mass Effect 2 on 360 looks hideous. Poor textures & very dated looking lighting. On PC it looks much better but the controls are really poor so its a hard choice between the 2. Buy Dragons Age2 on PC & they will give you a free ME2 PC copy but hurry the offer does not last long! http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18260836

Fallout 3 looks good on 360 considering the dated hardware but PC is obviously better looking overall & loading times are slightly quicker so PC is best here get the GOTY edition its under £13 if you look around online the retail version is quite cheap.

That's one of the most ridiculous statements I've seen on this forum in a long time. Does the PC version look better? Yes it does. Does the 360 version look 'hideous'? No, it quite blatently doesn't, and only an idiot or a blind man would say that it does.

It does to me the textures are ropey, the characters lack polygons & the lighting is dull/flat. PC looks better but its still a very dated looking game but that ok I can think for myself & know a good looking game when I see it. I do not need reviews or other players to guide me............. Only an idiot or a blind fan would say that it does not look bad in many places. Graphically most of it on either plaform is bland/generic UT3 looking surfaces. Maybe 3-4 years ago it was state of the art............

Lol what a load of rubbish, Mass Effect 2 is one of the few games that I noticed very little difference in graphics between PC and 360, the obvious difference being sharpness, PC definitely won there.

Played it on PC first, replayed on 360 earlier this year. Mass Effect on PC vs 360 is completely in favour of the PC, it has a better interface and doesn't slow down to a crawl, the second game is a much more even fight.

I really Enjoyed playing Fallout 3 on my 360, I found it a lot easier to follow the storyline and just relax playing it, where as when I played it on the PC I got bored of it quickly for some reason.

Same goes for ME2 really though I've not got it on PC.

Games with a storyline I definitely like playing on my console more as I can just relax playing, PC is more of a multiplayer machine for me now.
