[Sharkweather]

It's at more like 2:20.

At 1:45 he is using an assault rifle I'm pretty sure.

 

[Leftwich]

He's using a missle launcher.

 

[Sharkweather]

also, how far am i from the game being over?

 

i still have to recruit tali and zaeed, and i've done two loyalty missions.

 

Still have a decent amount left if you plan on doing all the loyalty missions.

 

[Tengo Juego]

I feel stupid. I didn't upgrade all biotic and tech powers at the research terminal before the last mission. And

 

Legion

wasn't loyal to me after his confrontation. So I had to talk to him.

For anyone playing, make sure you get all the research you can. It really will help.

I didn't upgrade anything all game, and really paid the price.

ps3 code found buried in mass effect 2

Rumors of Mass Effect coming to the PlayStation 3 have been given a fresh dose of fuel thanks to some new source code dug out of the PC version of Mass Effect 2. According to Polish site Kikoo, the code suggests that a PS3 version of the game exists somewhere, perhaps locked away in a golden vault in the polar region.

Electronic Arts has offered a staunch "no comment" on the situation, neither confirming nor denying the code and what it might mean. For what it's worth, here is the code itself:

[SFXGame.BioSFHandler_CharacterR?ecord2]m_nMaxRenegade=1900
m_nMaxParagon=1957
m_srXPFormat=340881
m_srSpendTalentPointsMessageXBox?=348754
m_srParagonRenegadeMessageXBox=3?48755
m_srSpendTalentPointsMessagePC=3?48753
m_srParagonRenegadeMessagePC=348?755
m_srSpendTalentPointsMessagePS3=?348755
m_srParagonRenegadeMessagePS3=15?3007

could mean nothing, but thats the same code that was in bioshock before they announced it was also coming to ps3 :shifty:. it wouldnt make any sense for them to release just the second game though since its so story driven. i think theres gonna be a me1+2 blu ray bundle before the third comes out. its just doesnt make financial sense to keep games exclusive nowadays.

 

[Sharkweather]

Finding all sorts of new missions on the 2nd playthru.

It's awesome.

 

[Tengo Juego]

Just got lucky with Jack. But I didn't get the Paramour achievement wtf?

 

[Saluki]

Just got lucky with Jack. But I didn't get the Paramour achievement wtf?

You can "fuck" jack or u can romance her to get her in the sac before the final mission, you gotta get sombody in the sac right before the final mission to get paramour

Microsoft developed and licensed the first game, has Halo ever gone to PS3?

I guess ME2 would be possible, but that wouldn't make much sense.

 

[SethMode]

Man, Purgatory on Insanity is...well...fucking insane. Jesus Christ.

 

[Maynard]

man, wtf is up with the scanning? they got rid of the mako, but add somthing like scanning to takes its place. is there an easier way to scan for resources?

 

[Sharkweather]

No.

You get 50,000 of each to start off on your 2nd playthru, but even that is not enough. Have to do a little scanning.

 

[SethMode]

Scanning is stupid, and I hate it, but I still like it more than the fucking Mako. Mostly because there is a REASON for scanning (i.e. upgrading weapons) the Mako was just a fucking chore. Just mine for shit as much as you need to. Admittedly, it's about the WORST mini game I've ever played, but it still isn't as bad as that goddamn Mako!

 

[Saluki]

As to scanning

 

I got a mission off scanning a random planet thats spread out into like 4 other missions now, one of them was to stop bartarians from blowing up a colony with these two missiles, turns out you can only stop one, so u either kill 150 civilians or let them live but destroy the spaceport which houses all the supplies making the planet uninhabitable.

 

[Maynard]

i just got ship enhancement. hopefully that helps

 

[SethMode]

i just got ship enhancement. hopefully that helps

Honestly, it doesn't.

I mean, it's a little better, but it's still an exercise in tedium.

 

[Tengo Juego]

When you scan, tap the left trigger and move the thumbstick instead of holding it. MUCH faster.
