Mass Effect 2

[YellerDog]

I like how characters try to shill the dlc in the game, it's classy.

Finally played some Shadow Broker DLC, this shit was good. It was a little stupid how they quoted Monty Python during what was supposed to be a serious reunion scene, but I can forgive one bad line for the excellence of the rest of it. Makes the year or so wait until Mass Effect 3 seem so much further away.

I think I only have Firestorm to finish up and then I'm totally done with every mission, which makes me a little sad because I'm still 1.5 levels from the cap and need about 100k more credits to get the last couple upgrades. So close to having everything done in one playthrough.

Side note: I did some planet scanning with my continued-after-the-end save and it's fucking lightning fast now, the way it should've been the whole time. Was that patched in or just an aftergame thing? I'll load up a new character and check that shit later, for a take-no-prisoners asshole run.

Was also a little sad that hooking up with Liara again in the DLC didn't get me the paramour achievement. I suppose Bioware is telling us the only real winners are the people that cheat.

You should get the Paramour achievement if you bang anybody before the suicide mission. Nothing cheating about that. I bed Jack and Liara before the jump gate.

Only if you didn't play the first game. Or you're not sure what cheating is. Either way you're a bad person.

Played the first game, didn't finish it.

So apparently the improved scanning was just a general patch from Bioware from forever ago that I didn't know about, good on them for that. Sadly, it also removed the infinite powers glitch that they said they wouldn't remove, but I guess it's because there's a chance any saves with the glitch might mess with the ME3 importing. Not really sure why they don't know if they have the ability to code their own upcoming product to check and enforce a points limit, but whatever.

We got the PS3 version in today.
I never played ME2, and haven't heard much about the PS3 rev aside from DLC is included and there are two extra characters.
Has anyone heard if the port is shitty like most 360->PS3 transfers are, or is this THE console version to get.

[Opaque]

Developer claims it's the version to get because it uses the new engine.

That's the thing though, it's using a new engine. So while it may have problems, it's not really a port in the same way most other games are. They're probably speaking the truth.

If the demo is anything to go by then it's an upgrade AND a downgrade. Some things looked great and somethings looked worse.
