Mass Effect 2

[JP]

That just for PS3 John?

The patch or the DLC?

I would imagine that any issues with the 360 and PC versions would have been sorted out long ago. I'd be amazed if the DLC was PS3 only, I don't think it makes any sense for them to handle it in that way irrelevant of the fact that EA seem happy to throw PS3 exclusive content around with other games.

I just don't see it happening and wouldn't want to see it happening either.

Thanks Mr Parry, looks like I get to FINALLY see what all this Mass Effect 2 fuss is about now... PS3 version ordered...

It needs to be played, each version has it's own advantages and disadvantages but there really isn't a bad version which ever one you choose. When you factor in the price that you paid for it and how much it would cost you to buy the included DLC separately there probably isn't much of a difference in price now either.

In my mind at least it's easily the best game to appear on the 360 with Crackdown being a very close second and I do think it's something that everybody should try to play.

Both I guess, but yeah probably been patched up on 360 a long time ago.

Was gonna post this on the Firstplay thread, but noticed its only 360/PC only (dunno if the title just needs updating). Anyways, Ive finally took stock of this now, and im planning on getting stuck in this weekend, but will need to start with the interactive Dark Horse comic first, as I have no clue about any of it (bit behind the times i know...)

Anyways, what I wanted to know is, can someone please tell me - will whatever I do in the interactive comic, like decisions, fights, etc affect how ME2 plays? Or do you just start with a clean slate in ME2?

Very mysterious. Doesn't half look like Dr Chakwaz (spelling?) on that screen.

Been waiting for this one, as I plan to do the shadow broker one at the same time.

Looks like I'll be saving me points then, awesome.

Sweet. I know I shouldn't care, but if it rounds off the achievement total to a sensible, round number it'd be the cherry on the cake.
