In a new entry on 1UP’s RPG blog, the author compares Mass Effect 2 to that of a Macintosh in that it’s so “streamlined” (why do I suddenly despise that word?) that players can just roam the galaxy killing aliens and saving humanity without having to “fiddle” with any numbers or statistics.

…

If RPGs keep going in this direction, I hope some developer at least has the sense to add a switch that will enable the display of all the numbers (armor ratings, damage ranges, resistances, etc.) that are being calculated behind the scenes. They can even default it to “off” and require the editing of an INI file or something, I don’t care. Just give me back my numbers.

Hellz yeah. For me, as a concept, PC pwns Mac any day. To be fair, I *am* an obsessive-compulsive masochist.
