Gorth Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Start of old thread End of old thread I've mentioned it a few times before. I've tried ME for all of 30 minutes. Didn't like it. I doubt ME2 is going to be my cup of tea. With that out of the way, those looking forward to it, discuss is the pc version just a glorified console port or will it really feel like the superior version (like dragon age) because if its a port i'm just gonna get the 360 version to continue my save but if its really a superior version in every way then i'll get the pc version anyone know??? I haven't actually seen much that's said how the pc differs from the xbox... I mean going by how they handled ME, everything was tweaked up to take advantage of pc hardware more and the control system/HUD was shifted to work better with keyboard & mouse rather then gamepad.. I'd assume there'd be something similar this time around ... but it's just a guess. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Raithe Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) Gee, and I was only just thinking the thread was about due for pruning.. And on a seperate note ; watching that new launch trailer.. I loved the score. Looking forward to getting ahold of the soundtrack if the rest of it's like that.

Oner Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 is the pc version just a glorified console port or will it really feel like the superior version (like dragon age) because if its a port i'm just gonna get the 360 version to continue my save but if its really a superior version in every way then i'll get the pc version anyone know??? Not a port, coded separately, like DA.

Killian Kalthorne Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 ME on the PC was superior to the XBox 360 version so it stands to reason that ME2 will also be superior.

entrerix Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 the difference between dragon age on the console v pc was enormous, mass effect not so much correct? so if it stays that same proportional difference as ME 1 then it sounds like it doesnt matter much? Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

I'd say it comes down to personal preference more than any kind of technical stuff(unless you want full 1080p or really like mouse/keyboard).

Killian Kalthorne Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 MEPC had a much better interface in my ever so humble opinion and allowed greater tactical ability when using party members.

Kaftan Barlast Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 The bare minimum of what is better on the PC version starts with -Much higher resolution -Hi-res textures that arent compressed and full of artefacts -Better framerate -Faster loading times ..and so on.

Raithe Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I did like the pc's shift away from the "wheel" . Maybe it's more aesthetics, but it felt easier to use when it was split into the three seperate boxes around the edges of the screen rather then a glowing wheel in the middle of it.. But then I'm big on keyboard and mouse, tend to find gamepads clunky. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niten_Ryu Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Someone bitchslapped EA / Bioware again. First Dragon Age DLC was leaked early and now ME2.

Kaftan Barlast Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 You already are... except with less panache whats the drm scenario? disc check? or activation limit etc bull****? They havent really said, but I suspect the hardcopy uses Securom7 and knowthat the digital dowloads is STEAM. You can also run your hardcopy through steam, so you wont need the disc to play DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

Deraldin Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 whats the drm scenario? disc check? or activation limit etc bull****? They've said they are using the same method that was used in Dragon Age. Basically, Disc Check + online check for the DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maria Caliban Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 It's the same as Dragon Age. Disk Check. There's day 1 DLC including a new squadmate that you get with the Cerberus Network Card. The CNC is included free with all new copies of the game. So, basically it's EXACTLY what they did with Dragon Age and Shale. I'm going to guess they'll do this with all their titles now. What I'm wondering is if Zseed will be as well done/integrated as Shale. Something tells me he won't be because I know the writers on DA talked about Shale from the very beginning (2005), but Zseed seems to be something they added when they saw how well it worked for DA.

Shame.. especially as offical EU release date is still week away. I bet many don't want to wait Interesting. Personally I think if that's the case and stores have copies of said game, they should just start selling it. I remember the first ME street date was broken by K-Mart here in Aus, which started a chain reaction, by the end of the day every store was selling it. What I'm wondering is if Zseed will be as well done/integrated as Shale. Something tells me he won't be because I know the writers on DA talked about Shale from the very beginning (2005), but Zseed seems to be something they added when they saw how well it worked for DA. But will it be noticeable? The only way it would be is if there was banter between party members, which was to say the least poor in ME. I'm not really expecting the characters in ME2 to be as.... talkative as they were in DA. I expect he will get his quest, a bunch of dialogue after each mission and thats about it.

Maria Caliban Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) Good point. There won't be nearly as much banter, but character do interact on the Normandy sometimes.
