multi-platform games

[sonoma1993]

I cant stand when companies make mutli-platform game, they take away multiple features of the games but just leaving them on one platform.

for example easport madden 07

The Season Begins in Mini-Camp (XBOX 360 only):
Create a player then build up his attributes by running him through skill-based, combine-type mini-games. In the off-season use Mini-Camps to condition players or rehab injuries to get back on the field faster.

Madden Gamer Level (XBOX 360 only):
Track your career accomplishments in Franchise Mode to earn Madden Gamer Points, and then wager your rewards against the computer or against live online opponents to reach the ultimate reward?the NFL Hall of Fame.

I think that be cool to start the seaon in mini-camp. But it sucks how that feature is only on the xbox360. I rather play the game on my pc, since I down even own a xbox360.

I want to play Final Fantasy VII on the PC because I don't have a playstation anymore, but the PC version won't work with any modern ATI video cards. Only option is to buy the PS version _again_ and play it on an emulator.

Yes.
It will.

Get the official 1.02 patch and run it.
Then find the hi res patch from a person called "The Saint".
Use that patch and then run the game.
If you have problems with movies (of any kind) then get and install the Upside Down movie patch. It fixes most everything. This includes the opening movie not playing at all and you not being able to start the game.

You dont need any other patches, especially not the so-called "WinXP" patch.
I have run FF7 from beginning to end on a eVGA 7900GTX and a Radeon X800 Pro.

In reference to the OP's issue:
It seems we have this problem mostly on PC games. Oblivion is a prime example.
They already had a good inventory system from Elder Scrolls 3.
You could access everything very easily and it was also clean and neat.

The menu for Elder Scrolls 4 was incredibly painful and made me like the game a lot less. It was designed with the console-user in mind.

Hey thanks! Guess I didn't search hard enough.

'btmod' improves the interface greatly, and you can customize it too.

Search here for it and many other great mods like Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul: http://www.tescreens.be/oblivionmodwiki/index.php/Main_Page

No. You did.

I remember the thread where I learned about this and I STILL cant find it. It was definitely within the past 3 months. Pretty sure we had the discussion in Software or Video.

But I've been searching for over half an hour and I still cant get to it. I know I personally made about 5 comments in it. Not the least of which was my congratulating the OP for helping me out.

How on earth did the search function die so horribly?
