Do you care if another platform has a better version?

If you play on a console do you care if the PC version has better graphics? If the game re-releases on another platform with exclusive content do you go and get it, does it make the version you have seem feel less enjoyable?

It depends on how bad the inferior version is, or just how good the superior version is.

If it's something like Skyrim for the PS3 compared to the PC, I do care.

If it's something like the console version of Darksiders 2 compared to the PC, then the difference is negligible.  

Consolites do. 

Then they start to:

I went with the 4th option. I get all my multiplatform games on PC and I update my current PC/build a new PC alternating years to ensure that I am always able to play games nearly maxed out while recording.

If multiple versions release at the same time, and I have all the systems the game is available on, then sure I might care.

If a better version of a game is released years after I've already played it then it's not as if I look at my current system as if it's a piece of junk.

Yes, I would like the best version possible. Bugs and poor performance give me a lesser experience

No. I guess I'd care if the version I played is unplayable or something.

I play on PC, get the best version of most multiplats by far. If the PC version is crap, I'll just wait for the mods to fix it and then get it.

Think I may get some popcorn and watch how this one goes ;)

Yes, yes I do. Sometimes, I lie awake in my head, staring up at the ceiling in the cold, desolate night thinking, wondering, pondering, " Why...why did I get the 360 version? The PC was right there! How could I have been so foolish. Tomorrow....tomorrow I rectify that mistake and sacrifice myself to the almighty god of PC gaming....Gabe Newell. It is the only way...it must be done."

i do, for any game i'm not getting on pc or does not have a pc version i'm going to get the next best version.

it could totally be the ps4 getting the best versions this time around over the nextbox  and if so that's the version i will get.

Yes I do, I want the best experience as possible and that's why I game on PC.

When I go back to consoles to play some exclusives, it shocks me how big of a difference there is in terms of visual quality and the performance.

Since I got my PC any single player games I want to buy I get on PC. every multiplayer focused game or game I just want to rent I get on 360.

PC is always the best version.  I don't care because it doesn't effect me.

No,I'm constantly being told PS3 multiplats are a broken mess,but I have yet to find one that did'nt look and play great and I've played over 40 this gen.Guess its just fanboys sounding off,as usual.LOL

Graphics are 2nd to Extra Content.

Although sometimes the Extra Content doesn't satisfy and just getting any version works too.

Well, I don't play on PS3 or 360 so it's rare I get the worst version of something.

It depends on how bad the inferior version istagyhag

Since most multiplats are pretty much equal (in terms of gameplay and whatnot), not really. But if it's like Black Ops for the Wii or Graces for the PS3, then yeah , it matters.

Yeah I do care because I always have the equipment to play the best version, but sometimes they **** it up and I ruin a pillow.

I like to feel that they did a good job and got the most out of the platform, which %99 of the time on PC they don't do, rather relying on hardware to chew thru bad code.

I find bad software to be endemic of the PC starting with the OS itself, fragmented architecture makes it difficult to achieve any kind of efficiency.

Not so much that "PC gaming" is bad, it's the "architecture designed by committee" of the PC that I find utterly incompetent.

The world will never move on to better technology and innovation until "the PC" becomes a relic of the past, which is difficult because there are so many economic stakeholders that depend on it for their livelihood.

Yes, and that's why I play multiplatform games on the Wii. They're the best.

No argument?

Truth hurts.

Framerate/resolution is a big deal to me so I generally buy multiplats on the PC.

Otherwise no.

If it has extra content yes, or if it was something like in the case of Skyrim (which is pefectly fine on PS3 now). Otherwise no. I can't even tell which version is "better" anyway, I seriously doubt anyone really does either.

Most of the time I think the people that go around talking about "better" versions are just trying to justify their purchase.

I always buy the worst version of a multiplat I can find and then come to System Wars so I can damage control it.

Meh, the far majority of games play awesome on 360. I don't care if PC can get more juice out of the graphics, there is no game I played on 360 that suffered huge problems that the PS3 version was better.

I buy a console based on my preference for the overall experience, mainly exclusive games that I have grown to like sway me. I liked to play Halo 1 & 2 on Xbox, but I didn't like the controllers or paying to play online. It looks like times sure have and are changing in the gaming business. I like reliability in a console  & to feel like the company is being just/right in the way they charge for things. I don't really like the way things are trending to be so $$$ demanding to  play games. I guess it's a sign of the times and trends in gaming. 

Depends on how big the difference is, or whether one version is the main platform of development or not.

If it's a Bayonetta situation for example, I straight up passed on the Ps3 version even though I didn't have a 360 at the time.

Yep I always need the best version.

Nope. I have a life.

I'd rather be enjoying a game than making a hissy fit over something so trivial. I've enjoyed my PS3 for years and there's never been a moment where a "better version" of game has provoke me to run and buy a 360 or build a PC.

I like good graphics, but they don't have to be great or amazing for me to like the game. Terrible looking games definitely ruin the game for me, although that's not a very common thing.

My wife talked me into buying a 360 before the PS3 had come out. I started to lose interest for it pretty quick as I paid for everything and it failed twice. It was nice enough looking and all but the controls and feel was all wrong for me.

Lol same here. I remember seeing people fight over miniscule blades of grass in Red Dead Redemption, I was just like "WTF is wrong with you guys"? lol.

No argument?

Sure, why not? I have a decent gaming PC and I enjoy the better graphics and smoother performance. This is especially true for games I really love.

Not really since PC will always have the better version. ;)

In all seriousness though, it really depends on its graphical style, content and reinforcement such as better controls, online, downloadable stuff etc.

If its an artsy game, then I'll go for the one thats with the most content. If its a realistic game I'll probably slap it onto the PC.

Of course there are caveats such as exclusive content to them or less content on one or the other, but for the most part that extra stuff is gravy (rare on the less content and reinforcement from PC to console) and I'll stick to my above rules.

Watch Dogs is one of those rare times that might go to the Ninty system.

With most games? Yes. That's why I prefer multiplats on the PC.

The only exception is sports games. I prefer sports games on consoles even if the better-looking version is on the PC.
