[Official] Mass Effect 2


Recommended Posts

I can confirm it does not support the gamepad - ME controls are much better on Pc than 360 because in the console you're forced to use a wheel thingy to select guns/powers for squad whereas Pc supported Quick Slots via number keys and weapon slots via Function keys.

I suppose that's true but I'm glad the option is there.

With my WoW addiction right now I'm just liking seeing some good usage out of my PC whilst it still has some running power in it.

Option isn't there though :p Gamepad isn't supported.

LMAO I misread your post, damn meds make me sleepy. I thought you said it was.

Now is that just for ME or can you also confirm ME2?

Having the nice key commands are a bonus on the PC, no doubt. For me however, overall the controller still gets the nod. I had ME1 controls down on the 360 controller to a "T". I have always gamed on my PC with a control pad, and I love it.

No official support in ME/ME2 but there is partial support through tweaks for ME.

No idea if said tweaks will work in ME2 though.

Meh I don't care much, you've already convinced me the kb/m combo worked well in ME (Y)

don't we get it as pdf?

I don't know which format it's in but you definitely get a digital version of the art book and comic book. I just wanted a hard-copy. You know, one that I could carry around with me.

its nout out till 29th in uk :(

sad panda :(

wonder if an american can gift it to me, hmmm :D

It's the 28th for the PC version and 31st for the X360 version here, I have no idea why the release was staggered in Australia :unsure: unless it's just EB Games? it's not too bad anyway, only a few extra days and in a way it's good, means I'll be getting my copies by around the weekend :p :) I'm so pumped for ME2, just hurry up and release it damn it! :D

I have about a week to try and finish the original ME then. I'm still not sure whether to buy ME2 for PC or XBox though.

Could always do what I did, buy both versions :p I have the original ME on PC and X360 anyway, so I wanted to get ME2 on both as well. I like the PC version slightly better though because the menus/controls are done better (mouse/keyboard user) but X360 version is still good as well :) However, if you only want to buy it on one platform, it's highly recommended you get it on the same one you got ME on, so you can import your ME character into ME2 :)

OMG I wasn't going to bother getting this because I thought the first one kind of sucked a little, although that is my personal point of view. But the GFX on this game look awesome, it's got my attention and one to be added to my list of games this month.

Just finished playing for the last hour. A LOT better than ME1. Very easy to transfer your character from ME1 into ME2 though, which is a big added bonus.

Probably not a good idea to say you're playing a game a week before street date....

It's gonna be amazing, can't wait to play as soldier, gonna use My save file from ME1.

I never waited so eagerly for any game before this, and the trailer... DAMN, can't wait anymore. :)

Infiltrator > Soldier.

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
