The mining can get a bit draining though I found out I'd been doing too much of it, lol. There are way more minerals than items to spend on so a steady maintained tally is enough

Was gearing up to buy this when I popped on Metacritic: several user reviews claim their saves got wiped with the PS3 version, and since they're locked there's no way to back them up.
Is this true? Because bloody hell, I'm not dropping money and time on a game that corrupts willy nilly!

@Sketcz: there was a big problem with that at launch but it was patched about a month later, or so I understand.Comment

Good to know if true, but one commenter said that even after the patch his saves corrupted... I might wait for a few more PS3 owning peeps to comment on this. Or maybe I should just wait for ME3?Originally posted by Golgo View PostComment

New DLC at end of this month, maybe a new patch will be smuggled in via that...
BTW, here's some info on what previous patch was meant to do (although whether it does it or not is another matter. I haven't fired it up yet...): http://www.qj.net/qjnet/playstation-...1-for-ps3.htmlLast edited by Golgo; 25-03-2011, 11:38.Comment

Sketcz, I waited till the patch was released before buying teh game and can confirm so far that the game runs fine, bar a few stupid bugs, the save file is fine... (grabs pencil to touch some wood). Dunno if that helps you at all? I seem to be one of only a few peeps on here to own the PS3 version, as most peeps own a 360 version - I do dislike being late to a party for the sake waiting for a price drop - sign of the times.
I probably won't buy the the last DLC at the end of the month (i got a thing about paying for DLC
).

Yes, it does help knowing another PS3 owner has been so far (touch wood). Cheers. Price drops don't bother me that much, I was debating waiting for this to drop a little further.Comment

In total I'm circling the 40hr marker on the PS3 version and no save errors as yet. Come on DLC!!Comment

Started playing this the other night have just completed the first.
Vast improvement over the first – graphics are a huge improvement, combat is far better, interface slicker.
Problem was the “import your old character” isn’t really much cop. You import your looks, but start back on level 1. Lost all your stuff, powerups, etc. New set of powerups so I can kinda see why, but I’d of least liked a kind of “hey have 10 skill points for free” after all my hard work last game. They’ve basically gone for the easiest way they could deal with previous characters and decisions.
. Shame.
Good game still, really enjoying it. More cinematic, far more polish. Looking forward to putting some time into it

Arrival DLC.
Short even if take the time to scan the new planets. No interesting gameplay, just more of the same. The story is okay and the only reason anyone should buy it. If you aren't invested in the story and you don't care about having a persistent character for ME3 then there is no need to buy this.
No where near the Shadow Broker but better than Overload. Not worth the 560msp.
High points

Sounds disappointing, i was looking forward to Arrival
Will no doubt purchase it in a few days anywayComment

Took me about 90 minutes to do Arrival. Definately one of the weaker DLCs and arguably it wasn't needed at all. Out of the whole thing I only found the final five minutes interesting, but the good news is it hints towards starting ME3 in quite an interesting way.
I'd recommend the DLC but only if you are crazy in love with all things Mass Effect. Oh, and if you do buy I recommend you finish the main story first.Comment
