The PC version is coming out soon and I would like to ask a question. I bought the Xbox version since I figured that would be the game's main platform, as Sonic games are mainly for consoles. The thing is, I would also love to play the game on PC. Do you guys think it would be worth it to get both?

Not really I would get the 3ds version if you already have the xbox version since the 3DS version has compelte different levels. The only real difference between the xbox and PC version is the graphics difference.

well,if you have it on xbox i dont see why you should get it on pc, but i would have bought the pc version in the first place, what are your specs to see if you can run it

Probably not worth it.

I don't have a 3DS yet, but I will get one soon. I will also get the 3DS version of Generations because it has different levels.

My PC is a little bit better than the recommended, so I certainly can run it well. The thing is, I don't know if they'll release DLC on PC, so I got the Xbox version to be safe. I am interested in getting the PC version for the convenience of having it on both platforms and the ability to just press a button when I'm on the computer and be playing the game. I think I'd enjoy it on both systems.

then more power too you, if you feel that way go get 3 versions of it and support this awesome game

lordbarni · 11-03-2011, 02:45 PM

Nope. Buying 2 versions of the same game seems like a waste of money, you should buy something else instead.

But, if you're really committed to buy this game on pc, at least try to spend as little on it as possible, the game is ~18€ on greenmangaming (not sure about the american prices), it's a steamworks game, so no matter where you buy it, you'll have to activate it on steam.
I bought an hour ago, already preloaded, now can't wait for the release

3 more hours

I own a few games on multiple formats, but in those cases I've usually had the console one first and then got the pc verison when it was on sale sometime, but then also in those cases the PC versions tended to release a month or two after the consoles.

I mean really, it comes down to your feelings on the matter. if you think you will get your worth out of playing it on the pc over the consoles, and can spare the cash, why not buy it here too.
Or alternatively, wait and see how the pc version goes and buy it later in a sale or something.
Sega are pretty good about their stuff going on sale later down the road. Not like say, Activision.

I believe Sonic's been a PC boy back in 'Sonic CD' days.

And mmmm, I would if you're a turbo nerd and you're going to collect like myself. I bought a Collectors edition to open, and one to store away for 10+ years. The PC version now - 'cause I'm sure it'll be a better experience. (Hopefully if ported correctly)

To answer your question; it's only worth it if that's what you want.

brotherlar · 11-03-2011, 03:45 PM

Hell i say buy it on both pc and xbox i did and i dont regret it for a second.

Amy · 11-03-2011, 03:46 PM

1. Get it on PC.
2. Sell your 360 version. And use your 360 controller on PC.
3. Enjoy the better game graphics on PC.
4. ????
5. Winning

I think it's the best way and not having to spend a lot on the game.
