Enoch Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 No. The floating drones in this case are the ones that killed Jenkins 5 minutes into ME1. These guys. I thought those were Plot Drones. Those specific ones might be plot drones. They show up in other places as Geth Recon Drones. Ah. I was thinking of Tali's loyalty mission, not her recruitment mission. Sidenote: Doing Tali's recruitment mission with 3 characters with Overload was comedy gold. Based on the ability's visual effect, I started referring to using Overload as "popping" the Geth. Most enemies were "popped" as soon as they were spotted.
Volourn Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 "Oh yeah, and ME2 has no elevators. ME2 citadel wins just for that. " I prefer the elevators because at least while the game was laoding the characters would chat o, the radio would play, and hell you'd even get a quest or two. Oh, and one other thing, load times in ME2 are 2 or 3 times longer. LMAO "The Dark Star Lounge had more atmosphere than Flux and Chora's Den put together." Kiddin' right? DSL was friggin' boing in comapriosn. there wa snothing really do to. Flux and CD were awesome. Dancing, games, QUESTS, actual converstions, nice music, and just sweet awesome. DSL had what? I cna't even remember oustide of it being needed to go outside fo it to talk to one guy about either Garrus or Thane's quest. hell, I cna't even remember which one. LMAO " I liked the comments from the used game salesman. I liked giving shopkeepers endorsements to get discounts." Yeah, these were definitely cool. "Captain Bailey is an infinitely better cop than any smug Turian." O RLY? No difference between the two except Bailey is a crooked cop who allows punks to get away with what they wnat as he accepts blackmail. Pathetic.

Hurlshort Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 My load times in ME2 are super fast, 2-3 seconds, whereas the ME1 elevators were a good bit longer. I imagine this has more to do with system setups, probably available RAM and all that.
213374U Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Dear Volourn, Stop being always wrong. Kind regards, The Internet - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
Deadly_Nightshade Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 There's also a bug in ME2 where, on certain systems, you have to go and manually re-enable one of the CPU cores for that particular .exe - I had issues with loading and when I did that they went away. "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

Not anymore! Until BIO releases a proper patch, at least - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

I think I had that issue too. I believe a restart of the game or my PC worked. It only happened one time.

ME1 load times: 5-10 seconds tops ME2 load times: upwards of a minute + "Dear Volourn, Stop being always wrong. Kind regards, The Internet" Dear NumbersU, Stop speaking for me, Hateful reminder, The "I Can Never Agree On Anything Even With Myself Since Opinions Are like Butts Everyone Has Them And They're All Different" Internet P.S. It's funny you calim my good buddy Volourn is wrong since you agree with him on various ME2 topics. LMFAO DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Hurlshort Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 I'd be worried about my 360 if it was taking a full minute to load areas. Have you had any other issues with it? I was having problems with Fable II loading up, and eventually the system RRoDed on me.
Nepenthe Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 I'd be worried about my 360 if it was taking a full minute to load areas. Have you had any other issues with it? I was having problems with Fable II loading up, and eventually the system RRoDed on me. Definitely didn't take longer for me, when BOTH games were installed on the HD. I suspect this is the reason for the difference. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Nepenthe Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 I noticed that the Geth in Tali's recruit mission seemed to keep spawning until you killed all the floating scouts. There are also a couple side missions where mechs keep coming at you, until you do a specific action to effectively end the mission, like shutting down a production line, or reaching your shuttle. Completely forgot about those ones. The area right after talking with Tali right? Has a geth prime at the end? Yes, except on Insanity at least, there's more than one geth prime, and not just at the end. If not exactly endless, they certainly seemed that way. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Deraldin Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Yes, except on Insanity at least, there's more than one geth prime, and not just at the end. If not exactly endless, they certainly seemed that way. Okay, the one you can see at the start isn't exactly at the end, but he's at least 3/4 of the way across the area. I've never stuck around in that area long enough to see how long the drones keep spawning.

I've never stuck around in that area long enough to see how long the drones keep spawning. On Insanity, when I enter that area, I'm immediately engaged by one (1) Geth Prime, with subsequent ones spawning occasionally along with drones on the way to Kal'Reegar. I hope I was a bit more unambiguous this time? You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
LostStraw Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 On the Grunt recruitment mission there was a spot where Krogans kept re-spawning until I got close enough to their spawn point that they stopped. I don't know if there would have been an infinite number of them had I stuck around longer than I had but there was definitely a steady stream. Although not an infinite spawn, on Zaheed's loyalty mission in the final big room there were two small rooms off to the sides that enemies would spawn in. Entering a room would stop the enemies from spawning in the room but upon leaving they'd start again. I don't recall seeing any other doors inside the rooms which confused me as it meant the enemies must have been popping out of thin air. The strangely spawning enemies didn't bug me too much but then again I've never really had a problem with monster boxes.

I hoped a fix for horrible low mouse sensitivity, I had to stab the Coalesced.ini to get it better.
jaguars4ever Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Just stumbled upon this website: http://www.masseffect2faces.com It's awesome. Essentially, it's a database of of people's creation code ID thingys for your Shep's face. Best one's I've found so far: Gillian Anderson Liv Tyler Milla Jovovich Michael Jackson Vin Diesel And the best for last: President Barack Obama I'm starting a new character just for this. Vote SPECTRE Barack for Galactic President! ^Even though Barack is awesome, he cannot compete with Abe Lincoln, back from the dead, emancipating humans from collectors!
HoonDing Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 I guess Vin Diesel's looks & Mark Meer's voice kinda cancel out... sold! The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 You missed one. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

Asol Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 Milia looks more like Chris Pine in drag. All deception is self deception all hypnosis is auto-hypnosis
GreasyDogMeat Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) Some of them are very close, like the Vin Diesel, MJ & Barack face, but the Gillian face is the only one where I immediately recognized the face without having to look at the name under the face. In fact, I was wondering why someone was posting a picture of Gillian Anderson in a ME2 forum for a split second before I realized it was from the game. Edited February 21, 2010 by GreasyDogMeat
Calax Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 Best one I saw was Vin. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Morgoth Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 Some people sure have too much time on their hands. I just took the default Shep and was ready to go. Rain makes everything better.
Oner Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 Wow, the only reason the Liara reunion wasn't crap was because the Giana Parasini reunion not two minutes later made it look pathetic in comparison. Giveaway list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DgyQFpOJvyNASt8A12ipyV_iwpLXg_yltGG5mffvSwo/edit?usp=sharing What is glass but tortured sand?Never forget! '12.01.13.
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 Wow, the only reason the Liara reunion wasn't crap was because the Giana Parasini reunion not two minutes later made it look pathetic in comparison. This. Giana Parasini FTW. Playing Paragon is so much more fun - you get to see more people from ME1 since you didn't... you know, shoot them in the head. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager.
