Deadly_Nightshade Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Mass Effect - I've got to get some saves for ME 2. "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
mkreku Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 I've re-installed Spellforce 2 and am currently replaying it. Not because I find the game so good it deserves a second chance (I never finished it the first time), but because I have an RPG itch that just has to be scratched and nothing seems to be released. Ever. There are like a ton of interesting games on the horizon, but they will all be released within a month of each other. Annoying. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Guest Slinky Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Mass Effect - I've got to get some saves for ME 2. Same here, only virmire to go before mu relay.
Morgoth Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Mass Effect - I've got to get some saves for ME 2. Same here, only virmire to go before mu relay. Just to be clear - ME2 doesn't require to have ME1 savegames, right? What advantage do I have if I use ME1 savegames in advance? Rain makes everything better.
Guest Slinky Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Just to be clear - ME2 doesn't require to have ME1 savegames, right? What advantage do I have if I use ME1 savegames in advance? No, ME2 doesn't require a save from ME. But you should get some extra scenes/dialogues if you use a save from ME.
Purkake Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 I still presume that they have a "canon" version of the events in ME1 that will work as the default choices for ME2. If you import your save, it will override the defaults and use your own choices.
Guest Slinky Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 When you start ME2, it will ask a bunch of questions where you can decide what happened in ME. I think some dev at bio said that there is no "canon" but who knows.
Purkake Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Then who cares about having a save? Geez, you crazy people grinding ME to get a save.

Purkake Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 That's weird. Doesn't seem like a thing that EA would do. Why hold content from the majority of your players? I could import, but I'd rather start fresh and maybe make my character look like a human being this time
Amentep Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 I've started playing Dungeon and Dragons Tactics on the PSP. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
Hurlshort Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 That's fairly annoying, my saves are on the 360 which I no longer own.
Purkake Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) PC FTW? I'm sure you can trick it into thinking you had a save with some evil magic. Edited August 31, 2009 by Purkake
Guest Slinky Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 That's fairly annoying, my saves are on the 360 which I no longer own. I don't think you will miss anything big if you don't use a save, most likely the extra stuff is just some epilogues for minor characters from ME1 who gave some little quests.
Bos_hybrid Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 I could import, but I'd rather start fresh and maybe make my character look like a human being this time Apparently you can do that while transferring your saves. I'm still thinking about getting the steam version of ME, since ME2 will be released on both PC&360 simultaneously.

You know that the retail version of ME is by now a lot cheaper than the Steam version? Rain makes everything better.
Purkake Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 But does the retail version live on the cloud, to be downloaded on your every whim?

You know that the retail version of ME is by now a lot cheaper than the Steam version? Depends on where you are. Mass Effect (Steam) looks like the same as retail price here if you don't count the exchange rate which would add a couple dollars to the total.

You know that the retail version of ME is by now a lot cheaper than the Steam version? Not in Aus. $49.99 retail, $29.99 on steam(works out at $35AUD).
entrerix Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 BATMAN! I bought it after hearing the good reviews. about ten minutes in I was thinking "I've made a big mistake..." - the game felt shallow and stiff and lifeless, the combat seemed terribly unfun and maybe even bad two hours later: I love this game!! - level design is fantastic, - animations are decent (still a little stiff sometimes compared to assassins creed or prince of persia) - art direction is great (arkham island is very cool to just wander around) - character design is strong (particularly croc and scarecrow) - boss battles are fun and varied (scarecrow v bane = TOTALLY different) - combat eventually becomes very satisfying, I actually wish there were more enemies around for me to beat on. those knife guys can be a bitch when there are more than 1 in a group and choose to just jump into the fight fists first - its really really nice to be able to choose how to attack enemies (either pick them off slowly like a predator, or just jump in and pound some faces in) - bullets kill batman!!! now I want this new studio to make every superhero game!! they would be great for a spiderman game or captain america, or a TON of others, as long as they put the same amount of care and thought into each and made efforts for them each to stand out as different.... I smell the sweet smell of success!!! 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.
Guest Slinky Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 But does the retail version live on the cloud, to be downloaded on your every whim? No, it lives in my closet, waiting to be installed in 3 minutes, instead of 3 hours.
Morgoth Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Yeah I played the Batman demo. It was pretty good, but I'll wait for a major price drop before I buy it. Rain makes everything better.

No, it lives in my closet, waiting to be installed in 3 minutes, instead of 3 hours. Your internet sucks Also, it takes up space in your closet and could get misplaced/destroyed/lost.
Kaftan Barlast Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 You can register your retail copy of any steam-enabled game on steam so you can download it from there anytime, you know? ME2 has simultaneous release? :D Yay! My saves are on the 360 which is a broken pile of crap, but now I can get the PC version right away and fix me up some saves 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.
