Inventory systems designed for consoles always suck. I miss the good proper inventories that can only be properly taken advantage of with a mouse.

You know, that got me thinking, the Wii U's touch screen being used for an inventory could pretty much approximate the way a mouse based inventory works...
I really wish they'd release a Trilogy edition of this for folks who don't have the original games. I have the first on PC but I'd love a way to get all three on 360.
Or PS3.
Bah... they gave you something that lets you make all the decisions that carried over. Anyone on the 360 HAS to buy the original game to make those decisions.
Actually, they released a DLC for the comic book thing for the 360.
So you can use that instead of playing part 1? Because that would make it much easier for me... I'd just buy part 2 and 3.
Yup, it's like 320 points, so $3 or $4, I guess? Not really sure.
I thought Mass Effect 2 just had a summary opening.
Yeah, so I'm left with either getting a 360 or waiting until I get a gaming-capable PC after taxes in 2012.
I must concur with Jay...
PC ALL THE WAY!

Don't be hatin'.
In my opinion the smaller choices didn't carry over in any meaningful way really other than "oh hey look it's me, you saw me in the last game remember we did this? ya." For some that is enough though, and perhaps they will make it into 3 (which i think would be great if they brought some minor chararacters back).
The comic thing in no way can replace the first game but I don't think it's complete shit. It does its job and gets new players into the world quickly for PS3. Plus I can't stand ME1 controls so I'm glad I don't have to play it if I don't want to.
(I base my opionion on having played pc, 360 and ps3 versions).
I noticed on the PC that if you didn't play ME1, in ME2, you don't get a choice for the status of Wrex through the "history areas" of Miranda and Jacob's questions before Freedom's Progress.
I played it through but tried it out to do a new ME2 character to see what happened and noticed that from the ones I imported. To me, Wrex is one of the best characters of ME1 and to not be given a choice was a disappointment.

You need the comic add-on for the ME1 choices and plots to continue on. If you play ME2 without playing ME1 and have no comic you are given a default plot that does not have certain things and removes certain references so that they have less to explain.
Which I understand, less to explain, just was disappointing if you don't have the comic. But since I have ME1, I import my characters anyway - just wanted to see what was different if I didn't.
Show me this magic PC.
Same. Your looking at around 200+ for the memory and the mother board alone. A decent video card is going to cost at least another hundred off of Pricewatch. That still leaves a power supply and the actual case, not to mention the cost of updating your operating system (hell... I'm STILL stuck using XP) if you need to do so.
Now if we're talking $500 dollars then yeah, you could do it and you'd do it well. But your going to be pushing it at the $300 mark and once it goes over that, it would be simpler just to buy a console for the same experience.

Well it' 400$, but close enough: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-pc-build-a-pc-overclock,2739.html (and that's from almost 9 months ago)
And ME2 can run on a 6800, with 1GB RAM even... but yeah, you're better off just going to 500-600$, i was just pointing out that ME2's reqs are pretty low.
And of course i wasn't taking into account the OS, as that's never been something you buy over here... and it's not like ME2 needs 64bits, so your old XP will do.

I think I'm just a little pissed at my PC. I've been sans video card for over a year now and it's because I have an endless parade of used parts going into my PC to fix parts that go bad. If it's not my video card, it's my mother board. If it's not the motherboard, it's the DVD drive. If it's not the DVD drive, it's the memory going bad. If it's not the memory, the hard drive fails.
I like PC gaming a lot, but I HATE having to fix my own PC.

Who the fuck pays an extra 20 bucks for a DLC armour, different looks and a pet?
Why not just wait for a GOTY-type edition?
Or buy from Steam and forgo the items entirely? I don't see why people get upset about the Day 1 DLC and exclusivity--it's a lame business practice, but if you ever stop to look at the DLCs, it doesn't seem like you're missing out on anything great.

Yeah, the only enjoyable launch day DLC so far was Shale, and she was actually free, and was supposed to be in the game anyway, they just decided to use her as a new purchase thing (which is why she's actually integrated in to the Orzammar story).
For 20 bucks I'd better be getting AT LEAST a feelie, a soundtrack, AND an art book. You can substitute a DLC for one of those, but not ALL of them.
Figured I'd throw this in here. More confirmation that a Mass Effect movie is indeed being worked on:
