Mass Effect 2

Slargos' experience sounds like user error to me.

I suppose EU CTDs are also user errors. 

In the sense that the user made an error in buying the title and attempting to play it, I guess you're right.

My apologies.

Sounds like an ID: 10T problem.

Just got the first one of Steam for €3 and I'm loving it. Bring on the 2nd!

The real thief is Bioware.

Selling me the equivalent of a car that spontaneously combusts the second time you attempt to start it. Probably in order to deter car thieves.

Which is in itself not a bad idea, but when the owners start going up in smoke, it's a pretty fucking douchy thing to do.

I may have experience one crash, maybe two, I don't remember precisely, but what I do remember is that the game was very very stable.  Never had the problem you're describing.

Is it out?  I keep hearing of the 1st one and with Dragon Age fresh in mind (still playing actually - 3rd playthrough) I feel benevolent towards Bioware - depite the goddam DLCs.

Yes.  After Dragon Age, Bioware has built up an enormous amount of goodwill with me.  They'd have to kill my dog and molest me with a plunger before I'd pirate one of their games right now.

Am gonna pick up Mass Effect this week, never played it and am getting worn out on Dragon Age for now.  Have no idea what to expect really.

Looks like a cross between FPS and RPG...

Indeed. It was lovely. Very space opera, very good voice acting. It was like watching an interactive cheesy film, cheesy in a good way.

I started seeing the same problems with Gears of War 2, so it's likely a problem with my console.

It seems to trigger mostly in movie sequences, but Halo 3 runs flawlessly.

I guess I need to revert to blaming Microsoft.

Like a nice Castello, as opposed to Muenster.

That's a good description.

I very much liked the first Mass Effect, but however you should be advised that the leves are quite repetitive.  Secondary missions are there only for the experience bonus, and the planets tend to look all the same (well, maybe 4-5 variations of 'em).

But it's still very damn fun to play.

From what I've ready of ME2 we are going to see more variety in sub plots and planets are going to look less generic.

I am worried though about the "scanner mini game" that they've been talking about where instead of push-button-scan-planet-done you're going to have to go through this goddamned mini game every fucking time. I hope it's done well.

It would seem to me though that since it's essentially the same engine they should have plenty of time to work on the maps and quests rather than spending it all on physics, so I'm expecting a fleshier experience this time around.
