Team xbox making up shit again. Look at the pictures you can clearly see it looks better and plays better. Do you not have eyes?

You can tell it plays better by looking at pictures?

Weird, Eurogamer played the game and that wasn't the conclusion they came to.

Quote

The tweaked lighting is the biggest differentiating factor and in our opinion it is rather hit and miss: BioWare talks about revising it to make the game brighter, but while some scenes undoubtedly benefit from the revised light positions, in many other cases some of the wonderful, nuanced texture work on the original game seems quite flat in comparison. The sense we had from the demo that the lighting is sometimes inconsistent carries across into the full game too, where it sometimes seems as if the positioning of the light sources even seems to change mid-scene.

Quote

The PS3 game doesn't feel especially clearer or more vibrant, but there's a definite sense that it's rather more inconsistent than it was before, to the point where the lighting in the occasional scene just doesn't seem logical. In other cases, there are changes but they are subtler - a slight tweak to the ambient lighting level, perhaps.

Quote

The overall impression is that BioWare's work on the art has been outstanding, and in motion there's very little in the way of difference whatsoever.

yeah I heard a lot of the side-mission stuff form ME1 doesn't transfer over, one example is that one widow who is arguing with her brother in law about a genetic modification procedure for her fetus to prevent the rare heart condition that killed the father, if you tell her to go ahead with it then they sent you like an email in ME2 saying the baby was born healthy and all that.

You can't get stuff like that unless you actually play the real game and are pretty thorough about the side missions.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #2251 on:** January 23, 2011, 05:23:24 PM »

Alright, downloaded everything I could for free off the Cerberus Network and finally started my ULTIMATE INSANITY PLAYTHROUGH.

I'm Terry Shepard. Infiltrator. Renegade. I am going to do EVERYTHING ME2 has to offer (sans those bullshit 160MSP costume and weapon packs)

Okay. So I reloaded my Level 60 ME1 save. Got a fuckton of bonus credits and resources since I've already beaten ME2 once also, so I'm getting upgrades up the wazoo already. Definitely making Insanity easier off the bat.

Got the Cerberus Battle Suit, one of the Cerberus Network freebies. It looks awesome and gives nice bonuses to health and shields.

one complaint is that the helmet isn't optional and Shepard leaves it on wile he's talking to people. You can still hear him fine but I like to see the facial expressions and stuff. Oh well.

Also got the Arc Projector (another freebie DLC). It's fairly broken, does huge damage even on Insanity and hits multiple targets. Seems to be making the game a lot easier, as it can fry a whole group of enemies without too much trouble. Really fun gun!

Infiltrator class is fun as hell, I put heaps of points into the cloak ability and now maxed it into Assassination Cloak. So you cloak in cover, then pop a sniper headshot which one-shots even through shields and armor. Awesome.

Just did the Kasumi DLC. It was great! The bad guy was South African which had me in stitches. Really cool mission too. The SMG you get is dope as fuck. Fires real fast with no reticule bloom so it's super accurate. Even more awesome with the cloak damage bonus. I'm starting to think I'm having an easier time on Insanity with all this DLC eqiuipment

Kasumi herself seems to be a really good sqaudmate, her Shadow Strike kicks ass and she's great at keeping herself alive during firefights.

Might tackle the Overlord DLC next. Fuck this game is so awesome, I forgot how sweet it was!

Just beat it for the first time, 26 Hours did every quest I could find except one (Lost Operative) because it never showed up on my map.

Managed to save everyone but 1, which was Samara my most used companion. Pretty bullshit way of her going too I feel gyped. That one part where you select who to put the force field around you, I selected Miranda because I use Samara in the party. Then all of a sudden at the end of that segment I guess Samara forgot how to use Biotics because all of a sudden she can't put up a shield for herself against the fuckers and dies . That kinda ruined the game for me, similiar to how in FO3 originally you couldn't send the mutant in to shut off the reactor. ugh.

Also finished the Firewalker DLC, wasn't terrible but I'm glad it was free! Wasn't bad for a nice little EXP boost.

Currently on the Collector ship tearing them a new one. Sometimes I wish those Harbingers would shut up

"You feel this", "My attacks will tear you apart", "We are your destiny", "You feel this", "You feel this", evey three seconds. It's kinda funny I guess.

BioWare has acknowledged a problem affecting game saves in its recently-released PlayStation 3 version of Mass Effect 2.

Posters on the developer’s official forums are complaining that game saves are becoming corrupted, with some players losing 30 hours of progress through the sci-fi epic which finally launched on PS3 last week, almost a year after its Xbox 360 and Windows debut.

Some users are even reporting not just corrupted saves, but entire systems, with hard disks becoming corrupted and needing reformatting.

“Just to make it clear, we are aware of this issue and are working to understand what is occurring and how we can fix it,” wrote BioWare’s Chris Priestly. “If you are encountering this issue, please provide details about your PS3 and your playthrough.”

They fixed it in a patch and they submitted the patch to SCEA for approval, which means it should be out in about a month

Until then they say to restart your game every couple hours to prevent the crash.

Patch Notes
Fixed a crash related to memory fragmentation. This fix will also resolve the crashing that corrupted Save Games.
Slightly improved load times and level streaming.
Added some telemetry to better improve future titles.
Updated some strings to fix spelling mistakes (Sorry Kaidan!)
Fixed the picture frame in Shepard's Cabin to accurately reflect your love interest choices in Mass Effect: Genesis.
Fixed a rare crash in the PSN version in Shepard's Cabin.
