[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.

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
