If you ask why ? ... the PC reviewers liked it better (the community thought otherwise) and the Xbox360 version sold more units
So you have to Pick : play the Original Vision a Gritty Realistic Western on PC but on DX9 Pixel Shader 2.0 , aka normal version ... or patch it and Censor the game , replacing all PC maps to the ones of Xbox360 but adding DX10 with Pixel Shader 3.0 (Depth Bump Mapping , Paralax Mapping , Water Physics)
Oh my god,it is so lucky to have you replies,are Original Vision big different from the 1.1.1?
can you set an example ?
can just using DX10 patch to Original Vision and leave 1.1.1 update patch alone?
yes they are WAY different , maps are bigger and longer ... then the XBox 360 maps ... i mentioned what was cut , nearly the whole second campaign when you play as the Indian Boy (Son of the second brother)... they just left some of his maps to make the story coherent ... i played the Original 1.0 version to the end ... and played it back again when i got a pixel shader 3.0 GPU card to see the DX10 effects ... and ouch what a disaster it was , the patch ports over the Xbox360 version to the PC replacing all maps ... the Preacher campaign has no longer so many interactive NPCs that you could talk too , that explain the story ...his section became a mindless shooter , then a investigation Adventure with Duel Elements ... and the Indian campaign was halved , with removed puzzle sections , whip jumping and platforming redesigned ... that made sense if you played the game on a XBOX 360 PAD and wanted a dead brain Western FPS... but when you use Keyboard and Mouse , it is a mess ...
but wait for it ... PC Cover magazines that covered this game, said ... the patch made this game better
... yeah... lest half the second Indian camping , remove the Whip Jumping platform sections (only leave like 4 moments when you have to whip jump), Logic puzzles , Tits and blood , make the maps smaller , remove NPCs that you had to talk to as the Preacher ...
and from a Polish Western game , that i placed on the same pedestal as Lucasarts FPS "OUTLAWS" ... when they patched it... it became Gears of War trash... a mediocre sheit game , that its console quality followed them till part 3 ... then in part 4 they finally made a Sequel to the Original game (since part 2 was the Prequel and part 3 played in modern times) ... and guess what , the Xbox360 version was trash but the PC version well a mix bag ... they aped BORDERLANDS look mixed with BULLETSTORM game design (Skill Shots) ... meh if you ask me .. but some liked it "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC5EYVwpP7o"
