[Bokishi]

Ok it's release day today hope some of you got it at midnight, so post pics of ME2 awesomeness

[Bos_hybrid]

Damn it's a fine looking game. Thursday seems so far away.

[Bokishi]

I know it looks almost CG!!

 

[kirottu]

I hate you and your freakishly large screenshots.

[Bos_hybrid]

Those lines and that sitution will become slash fic.

 

How are the loading times? Apparently if you have multiple cpus, it's pretty bad.

[Hell Kitty]

So, do you plan on posting big ass spoilers?

Loading times are decent, not the best but I'm not complaining, they took out the lame elevator rides though which is good

On the bio forums, this supposedly fixes the issue.

 

For people that have gotten the PC version of Mass Effect 2, there is an unreal engine related problem (supposedly) that causes loading times to be several times longer than they should be. Using the elevator on the ship was such a chore until I found this fix. Unfortunately you have to do it each time you start the game, but it is simple.

 

Basically once you have started ME2, open up the task manager and set the CPU affinity for MassEffect2.exe to one CPU. Press OK to confirm the change, then immediately set the affinity back to both (or all) CPU's. This will result in a massive decrease in loading times.

 

I hope this issue is fixed soon.

That's idiocy, you have to do that sort of thing for games like Thief, System Shock in other words for old stuff. To have to kill one of your CPU's to play the game as it should be played is aaaaarghh. Bioware needs to get a patch out asap.

 

Btw why are you playing as the default Sheppy?

[Bokishi]

I dunno I was in a hurry to play

[RPGmasterBoo]

Cool

 

I'll just import my thug from ME1. Ugly as sin he is.

You didn't transfer a save game? BTW do you start of with the extra content(Pre-order/Collectors)?

[Bokishi]

Don't have any previous games saved on this computer

[Azure79]

Nice. Will play as soon as I get home tomorrow.

 

I just use Default Shep too. I seem to have subconsciously matched the voice to the face when ME 1 promos were going on, so it felt weird with a different face to the same voice. I guess I have a horrid imagination.

[Monte Carlo]

The graphics look nice but the costumes look awful.

 

I won't be getting it, for some reason the whole thing leaves me cold.

Joker looks like he has been working out. But doesn't he have some brittle bone disease? I didn't even know he could walk.

Maybe he's now a zombie cyborg, too!

[Morgoth]

Nice view.

 

[GreasyDogMeat]

Nice view.

 

Looks like Taris from KotOR.

[Morgoth]

Yeah, kinda. It's Illius, an Asari world.

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Does it get bombed from Outer Space by the Collectors?

[Jaesun]

Here is my current ME2 screenshot..

 

 

:/

Looks like he still hasn't smiled though and never will since he "never smiled as a kid". Some of the goofiest dialogue right there.

 

Screenshots are looking good.
