Mass Effect 2 Love Fest

[Flak]

Congrats Sjosz, I don't know anyone who is not playing it. Well, except my Dad.

 

[cooloola]

I have a few more free weeks left and I was hoping I could use them to sort some **** out, but now it seems I have no other choice than play ME2. **** you Bioware!

 

[AKWolf]

I think, this may be is the most awesome game I've ever played...

 

[SkaarjMaster]

Sounds like a good game.....let me know how the PC version looks and plays.

 

[Darkdrium]

It plays great. I am surprised how well it runs on my computer. Recommended specs really are what you need!

Maxed out at 1680x1050, have yet to see any significant frame drop or tearing.
Q6600, Asus P5K-SE, 2GB OCZ Reaper RAM, 8800 GTS 640MB OC1 by BFG, and I know you have better than that so you won't have any problems
This runs better than Mass Effect 1, for now at least. And it looks better than Mass Effect 1 by a mile.

 

[SkaarjMaster]

Can you save at any point in the game? Do you have to install Steam to play?

 

[AKWolf]

Yes you can save, and yes you can play in Steam offline mode...

 

[SkaarjMaster]

I'm not installing Steam to play a game (offline mode or not)........oh well, back to other games I guess.

 

[NeoNite]

Oh yes you are, skaarjmaster. Yes you are. You will install steam to play a game. Or else.

Just too bad.

Get it retail, big brains?

You are not alone there...

(when I buy a game I want a freaking package)

Thank you! I hope everyone enjoys the game.

We love you too!

If you get the retail boxed version for PC in stores, you do not require Steam to be able to play Mass Effect 2.

 

[shoptroll]

Just too bad.

Seriously. A friend of mine missed out on the CE and wanted the art book. Digital Deluxe Edition all the way man

OK then, I guess it's settled. I didn't know there was a difference. Is this the same with other games like GRiD, etc.?

I would imagine so? I think the only games that may require some sort of Steam connection are maybe Valve's own (Team Fortress 2, Half-Life 2, L4D), or digital download only games (Trine, Torchlight). I don't know for sure of course, since I use Steam. Most PC games released in shops can be installed to PC and played without the use or requirement of Steam. There is a possibility for a lot of games to be connected to a Steam account, should you so desire.

 

[Fuzzle]

The only non-valve game that has ever required me to fire up steam when installing from the disc was Last Remnant I think.

Good thing too, since I lost the disc.

 

[SkaarjMaster]

...must explore other worlds.....there are more than Unreal/UT/Quake/Doom.

I quite liked this week's Sessler's Soapbox, made me antsy for the game. Got it preordered and should be here any day, starting tomorrow.
