Mass Effect 2

Well, I guess I wanted to emphasize how worse they actually look like. I tried to mess with the settings but I guess the TV Screen bass sort of image is just part of the game. For a release of that time I expected better.

But obviously sarcasm has to rule over logical assumption, right?

 

TV screen bass? You mean film grain or something?

I recall the texture pop in ME1 was horrendous though, I thought my 360 was having disc read errors.

 

That's exactly it...I have no idea why they opted for that.

But oh well, it's been interesting so far. Citadel is freaking enormous!

 

IIRC, you could turn the film grain off in both PC versions of the games.

 

I remember that setting on the 360 as well. But I never messed with it.

 

Lair of the Shadow Broker is the first that's supposed to bridge between ME2 and ME3. I think they're going to release another small DLC or two (think weapon packs), and one more "big" DLC a few weeks before ME3 comes out. Wouldn't be surprised to see that one deal with Ashley/Kaiden.

 

Bummed me out when I got to Citadel in the 2nd game and it was so much smaller, loved getting lost in there in the first game and coming upon all the different aliens and learning about their history/place in the universe.

Nice. I'm hoping that the final story DLC won't deal with Sheppard at all but instead the invasion of Earth and maybe that guy from the VGA trailer.

 

Well, if you go through the save file, it means that whatever outcome there was in ME2 (not sure if DLCs included) will continue in ME3. Meaning that if Shepard died along with other characters, they simply won't show up in the sequel. I suppose you might be given the freedom to pick one of the survivors or build a fictional character with an already pre-determined last name (like Shepard was).

Based on this, it leaves me questioning if Shepard is obligatory for any newcomer in ME3 or it's optional like in the save file process.

 

What your quoting pretty much means Shepard is obligatory.

This so many times over and not just for a $5 price point. The Case Zero route will give newcomers and those who don't have the game anymore a chance to play the DLC and more importantly will let Bioware show off any improvements in graphics or mechanics in Mass Effect 3.

 

If your Shepard dies that's it, there's no moving that save file forward. You'd have to start a new game in ME3 with a default Shepard.

 

Yep, should of read the whole page properly.

 

I do believe you can switch off the film grain in the options screen on all versions of the game.

 

Yep, I changed right after that post. Option available while in-game.

It makes the whole difference.

 

I liked the Film grain though

 

So do I. It's especially awesome during the cut scenes and dialog.

 

right, started my game, im a soldier who 'gets things done' sheppard

just got onto the normandy 2 lol

any advice on who i shoudl recruit to my team first? the scientist? sniper? warrior?

 

No real advantage to any of them so do them as you please.

I went for the Sniper first BTW.

 

Guys, I just had a wet dream involving Tali.

Does that make me gay?

 

No, but it does mean you might need a girlfriend ASAP.

And holy TMI Batman!

 

No shit. And Tali's a chick. So you can't be gay. Just f**king weird.

 

But Captain Kirk had sex with Alien chicks all the time and he's awesome!

The worst part is I have a fiancée.

 

Paint her blue.

 

And throw a gas mask over her face.

 

But I though Quarians were purple?

Oh god.....so seeeexxxyy....
