[PS3] Mass Effect 2 coming to PS3

[PepperNY]

I loved this game on xbox360 and was considering getting this for ps3 until I saw the $60 price tag :nono:

 

[killgod]

i was kind of surprised by the section they chose for the demo. i guess they want to show how the action portions played out. But that area is not a great representation of this game imo

Which did they choose?

 

[CCBrink]

I am getting it from Amazon. $56.99 with no tax and free shipping.

 

[Buzzman]

go to Kmart. $63 plus a $20 coupon.

interesting. where do you get the $20 coupon

Which did they choose?

they used the section on omega where everyone is quarantined and u have to fight through and meet up with the Dr. You start after you have entered the area....so u dont even know why you are in there when playing the demo

not much of the story is shown probably to avoid spoilers. and even the action part of that area is somewhat slow

 

[Buzzman]

interesting. where do you get the $20 coupon

after you buy the game it prints out with the receipt.

 

[PepperNY]

ah ok, i will look into this. thanks for the heads up

What? It's an amazing deal and it's the first time on PS3!:saythat:

 

[Juggernaut]

It also comes with all the dlc so it is a good buy.

 

[Maynard]

plus the mass effect 3 engine....i wouldnt pay $60....i wouldnt pay $1. I already played it 3 times. if i didnt have a 360 and i didnt play it b4 i would pay $60

i bet if UC2 was ported over to the 360 with the UC3 engine and all the dlc that twigg wouldnt think $60 is too much

$40 would be more like it. But ME2 has nice campaign DLC whereas UC2 only has multiplayer.

But yeah, you got me. I think that if ANY PS3 exclusive was ported to the 360 it would be well worth $60. I would pay $60 for the 360 version of Haze right fucking now!

So was the 360 version of ME2 on multiple discs? Just curious.

:yep:

The PC version does as well but after you go through an installing process, you only have to use one afterward.

The XBox version makes you switch discs at a point where it doesn't jar you out of the story or anything...

Like how FFVII did for example.

 

[killgod]

Started a new playthrough last night. Gonna whoop this game on hardcore, then follow it up with an insanity playthough. :smug:

My Shepard looks hilarious, got him with short white blonde hair and a nasty black beard. Looks like a deranged war vet.

you know the answer to this. its one of the gripes you have about the game and used it to bash the 360....did you forget that?

No I didn't. That's why I asked. I knew Castlevania, Forza and Final Fantasy were. And that is a legitimate reason to "bash" the 360. Multiple discs is so 1999. At least like Jay said, with this game it's only one swap during a time that doesn't screw things up. Whereas a game like Castlevania you could be switching discs every few mintes if you want to go back to an area to get something you missed.

I guess that would be another reason to justify the price. Upgraded graphics, all of the extra content and all on one disc? I think I'm starting to warm up to the price tag.

im sure i heard this somewhere before :shifty:

I honestly would like to give ME2 a chance. Someday, but that day isn't any time soon. I am seriously considering getting the PS3 version. Mainly because 1) It fixes all the stupid atypical RPG bullshit from the first, 2) It fixes general problems from the first (I heard driving the Mako and the elevators are fucking retarded as fuck), 3) You get to skip the first and 4) It's all on one disc.

I'm not trying to completely derail this thread but I honestly have no idea how 360 guys deal with changing discs in this day and era. I had no idea until a few days ago that Castlevania was two discs. What a fucking joke. You finally earn an ability in chapter 15 that you need to access a special item in Chapter 3 and you decide you want to go back..."Please insert disc one". Is this fucking 1999?

and to further the point that you used it to bash the 360

Yeah, seriously. This isn't the PS1. Changing discs is fucking ridiculous.

It has nothing to do with 360 vs PS3. Well, it kind of does only because MS still chooses to use antiquated DVD technology that is limited. They try to act like they are so forward thinking yet they are still using standard DVD's with limited space and old ass disc trays on their consoles.

As cranky as you are, you can honestly say it's not bullshit that some of these 360 games are multiple discs...in 2010? I'm not just talking about ME2 where it's not as important. Look at a game like Castlevania like I mentioned. It's completely ridiculous. If you want to go back to an older area, switch discs. Go back to the later area? Switch discs.

There are tons of games that I'd be more than glad to list for you if you like. Final Fantasy is another one. What was that? 17 discs?

The bottom line this era is all about "now". MS is all about how they provide you with content instantly. XBLA. Games on Demand. Indie Games. Game Room. Etc, etc. Yet you have physical games that require multiple discs because they are too stubborn to adopt bluray?

This is honestly all new to me because I don't own any of these multidisc games and it's only recently that I've been hearing all these podcast hosts complaining about these multi-disc games.

a mind is a terrible thing to waste. Lucky for me i remember everything. It allows me the opportunity to call you a fanboy :wave:

Yeah, I honestly didn't remember that at all but thanks for pointing that out. I still stand by my opinion that changing discs is fucking dumb.
