Mass Effect

[Valmy]

One really fun thing about Mass2

Is there a demo out already?

Neil has connections with Bioware.

[Caliga]

Oh yeah I keep forgetting that... Bioware is headquartered there, right?

My problem was that it oversteered like a motherfucker.  Drive along, tap the left turn key, and almost instantly you have changed course 90 degrees!  Hated that, especially when it also insta-killed you.  It was almost as if the thing had been designed to infuriate the player.

Oh yeah, I remember the oversteering now... I got used to it though.

I played it on PC too, but I had remapped the movement keys to the arrow pad, as I always do with every game.  I did find it difficult to adjust to at first but a blast once I adjusted.

I was more annoyed by some of the impassable terrain.  Sheer cliffs pissed me off.

Maybe it is a PC thing, but "driving" the rover with left/right buttons was annoying as all fuck.  I hated it.

I was playing it on the 360 and it was uncontrollable.

Exactly.

Huh...I didn't even notice I guess I just got used to the 'logic' of how the Mako steered.

Mako didn't piss me off nearly as much as those elevator load times, especially the one on the Normandy. I hope ME2 will let me load the game to the hard drive.

See, that was your problem: using a child's gaming system to play an adult game.  Now, do like us old people, and use your PC for gaming so you'll stop complaining about 'uncontrollable' vehicles

The elevator on the Normandy was terrible, and even on the Citadel where there was dialogue, they could run a little long.

I had no problem controlling it on a 360.

I thought the elevator scenes were kind of cute though.

I honestly don't think I would have been able to control it any  better.

The problem was on the PC version! 

If it existed on a console version, I wouldn't know, as I put away children's toys some time ago.

Don't you play with toy soldiers?
