Why you should buy the PS3 version and not the PC version of this game

[Enkidoh]

I have both the PS3 and PC versions of this game and have played the game somewhat on both. Here is why I feel you should definitely purchase only the PS3 version and not the PC version.
Of course the #1 reason is the size of the viewing screen. The game sure looks nicer on a 46" TV than a small monitor.

#2-The chat text from NPCs on the PC monitor is so small it will give you eyestrain to try to read the chat text. On the large TV the chat text is easy to read and more enjoyable.

#3- Clicking on chat text many times with a mouse on the PC version will definitely strain your wrist muscles. With the PS3 you use a PS3 controller and there is no strain at all, just tap a button for constant chat from a NPC.

#4-The graphics on the PS3 version is just as nice on my TV as on my PC version. So you will not be missing out on any visual beauty

I'm not trying to say that one is better than the other, but your reasons for saying that the PS3 version is superior to the PC are actually inaccurate.

Firstly, you can easily buy a large computer monitor, or, if you have that large HDMI 3D TV, you do know most TVs these days allow PC interaction? - just plug your PC into your TV and it solves your problem.

Secondly, chat window text size can be adjusted in System settings - default size is 12 (which is the default size for most word processing programs) but you can easily increase or decrease the size to suit your needs. You can also increase the size of the chat window as well by simply clicking and dragging it up or down.

Third point is pretty much the same as number two - increase the text size to compensate. I have no trouble reading the text at a default setting on my PC (and I'm playing on a smaller LED monitor too), although I do have good eyesight so I guess that helps (someone with glasses or poor eyesight however probably would struggle to read it or get eyestrain if the text is small), in which case, as mentioned, just increase the text size. And don't forget you can easily use a controller with the PC version as well - you can switch at will between keyboard/mouse and controller settings after all.

And your final point is purely subjective based on your current PC settings - if you have the hardware you can run this game at graphic settings that exceed the PS3 version's quality. This game was designed to run well on slow to medium range computers, so if you had a PC that could run 1.0 well enough, imagine what ARR will run like.

I'm sorry if it looks like I'm trying to say the PC version is better - it's not necessarily, as that's just purely personal choice, but I just wanted to clarify you main issues you have with the PC version are easily fixed. Personally, I prefer the PC version, even though I could have bought the PS3 version - I just prefer playing on PC myself.
