Great…except I have the PS3 version. I guess this just proves a theory of mine. The PS3 version was just an afterthought to generate extra revenue. Numerous reviews I’ve read stated that the graphics just weren’t up to par on the PS3 which is ridiculous considering its specs…so if it isn’t up to par, that was deliberate, or sloppiness on the behalf of Bethesda. The only reason I didn’t buy the PC version was due to the age of my PC (ancient). Oh well, I still enjoy the game on my PS3. I just wish the industry wasn’t so “let’s make a version for every single platform out there” - good at generating revenue, poor at making the best games as they inevitably have to work towards the lowest common denominator. I wonder how many other PS3 games get shortchanged as a result?
