[PS3] Mass Effect 2 coming to PS3

[killgod]

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.

I would have to counter with being ignorant to why changing discs is required, is fucking dumb. In addition, arguing for the duration of time you have spent about something that requires a whopping 5 seconds of your life, is also quite dumb.

Not that I expect anything to sink in though.

/sarcasm
I suppose you'd rather them just make games with less content? Or large pre-downloads before playing? Those seem like much better options IMO.

I know WHY it's required ass. My point, from the beginning of this generation, was that MS chose to use an old format, DVD. They could've used HD-DVD or paid Sony and licensed bluray but instead they went with regular DVD.

Just like they still, even with the new slim model, choose to use a disc tray that NOBODY uses anymore.

But again, I'm saying that this game being on one disc is great and would be another reason I would be swayed into playing it. And I already agreed that this game only requires one change so it's no big deal. So shove your "5 seconds of your life" up your ass. Whereas a game like Castlevania is a completely different story. Fucking unreal.

What is so funny is that I'm the one that's made to look like a bad guy here. I asked a simple question I there was honestly know malevolence behind it at all. I thought I heard ME2 on 360 was on 2 discs but wasn't sure. And I had even asked before as Maynard pointed out but it is not uncommon for me to forget shit like that. I'm sure Maynard could also find plenty of other shit I've asked or mentioned several times before, 360 or not. But then he comes in calling me a "fanboy" as usual. And then you have to add how changing discs isn't a big deal. Well couldn't you say that about anything? Just like when Maynard constantly mentions how party chat on 360 is so amazing but no one gives him shit? Well I could say "But no one really needs it anyway." The double standard around here is laughable.

Sure changing discs for some games, like this one, is no big deal, but if could eliminate it altogether wouldn't that be the ideal situation???

your arguement is invalid. changing discs is a non issue. a game like this that has as much content that it has. insert disc 1 play for 20 hours. insert disc 2 play for 20 hours. insert disc 1 play for 10 hours.

its not that big of a deal and its better than buying a disc and waiting an hours for an install, then waiting another 30 mins for the latest update to DL and install

They could have used HD DVD? No, that format DIED.

They could have contacted Sony for Blu Ray? Are you fucking serious? They are going to pander to their direct competition, to use their technology on MS consoles? Are you so blind to the idiocy here? You don't fund your competitors to this degree! You don't ADMIT INFERIORITY to your competitor! ABSURD to even think that this is a reasonable idea!

Regardless, these suggestions are what you would do to overcome a 5 second disc swap?!?! Talk about managing the situation!

But Yes, you are right, it would be ideal to be all on one disc, but you fail to comprehend how completely unfeasible that is for the situation, because it simply isn't an easy task to work around. They made their bed with console design SIX years ago.


p.s. This thread is about Mass Effect 2, thus that is what i'm speaking about. I don't know, or care, about Castlevania or what it was like. I would agree that constant disc changing would be an annoyance, but still otherwise not all that big of a deal, but again I don't know specifically what it was like with that game. I've only ever seen disc swapping in RPG's in the past, like Final Fantasy games where it's segmented into 4 discs, again, what's the big deal about changing the damn disc every 20 hours? Nothing. Probably a benefit to getting off your ass for a moment more than anything.

agreed. I had no issue swapping discs at the point in time where you had to so the game could continue. takes 5 seconds, no big deal.

 

[SethMode]

Are we seriously talking about multiple discs? Twigg, you sound like more of a fanboy every day. Who the fuck cares if you have to change a disc every now and then? Are you seriously THAT lazy? Even IF the fact that most games that come with multiple discs allow 10-20 hours per disc, the fact that you're bitching about something that takes 5 seconds is seriously retarded.

He's trolling for reactions.

You're falling for it.

I would like to posit two questions to your response. It's not like MS knew HDDVD was going to fail when the 360 launched, just lke Sony had no idea bluray would be successful. So why would a forward thinking company like MS who pushes things like digital downloads not go with a media oltion that has far more space? And yes, going bluray was definitely an option. Yes its Skny, but its a totally different branch of the company from the gaming division. Its no different than MS licensing their dvd drive from Phillips or another electronics company.
Do you really think that MS will stick with the dvd format with tbeir next console?

in response to the first part of the question....isnt it possible that M$ (keep in mind the $$$) did in fact know that hd dvd would not be the standard moving forward and chose not to use that format because they knew blu ray would win out?

sony owns blu ray so they have a vested interest in making it succeed. MS has no vested interest in hd dvd and would only have wanted it to succeed to fit into there profit needs. Plus the fact that blu ray is pretty irrelevant to this generation of game developers. So why would they worry about using any format other than dvd when only a handful of games suffer from the use of this format...suffer meaning a lack of space and forcing some games to use 2 discs

:nope: :tiptoe:

 

[Twigg4075]

While out at Best Buy I was going to pick up ME1 to give it one last go. They were sold out.

I think I will give the ps3 demo another shot though.

I should've just googled the two disc issue because I should've known a few dicks woukd blow it out of proportion.

 

[Twigg4075]

im sure i heard this somewhere before :shifty:



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



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:

Can you also pull all of my quotes from when I bash the ps3 for stupid shit? Or does your 360 Defense Force only come out when I talk negatively about that?

 

[riley420]

What's the big deal about having to get your fat ass off the couch and change a disk?

I remember playing King's Quest on my Apple IIC and I would have to change disks every ten minutes. Get over it.

LOL. Not so much a big deal, just a convenience. The Apple II was what, 20 years ago, when you were in your 30's? I think we should all expect a little more from technology these days.

If you had a choice, ala Final Fantasy or Castlevania, owning both consoles, which version would you get? The one that has multiple discs and in most cases less quality audio because it's been compressed to fit on the disc, or the one that has everything on one big bluray? Just sayin'.

ME is a bit of a different beast because it started as an exclusive on the 360 and you will never get to play the first on PS3 so it's much easier just to stick with the 360 version and deal with the rare disc change.
