Is My PC Able to Run Mass Effect, Smoothly?

Hey, recently bought Mass Effect, and i thought my PC should run it smoothly, but audio and video seems laggy.



Specs:

Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4 ghz

3GB RAM

Nvidia Geforce 9600 GSIs My PC Able to Run Mass Effect, Smoothly?
MAke sure you dont have at max quality settings





The only way you are going to get really smooth play is if you have your computer fully maintained (defrag, tempfiles) and run a Crossfire or SLi configuration





But if you get 30 FPS then you are good to go.



Personally, the 9600GS isnt all that powerfull i would go for the 9800GT to run games at high quality



Hope that helpsIs My PC Able to Run Mass Effect, Smoothly?
Even on the 360 it sufferes from bad frame rate. I dont think it is your pc, I think it is a poorly optimised game.



Try patching it to see if it makes it better.Is My PC Able to Run Mass Effect, Smoothly?
Right well firstly i would have liked you'r Audio configuration and card etc. that would show me what type of card you have etc, there is a site which will auto detect systems for games etc. Google that.

Can I max out Mass Effect 2 at 1080p with this build?

Video card:

Radeon HD 4850 512 MB

Memory:

4 Gigs DDR2 SD RAM

Processor:

Intel Core 2 Duo Dual Core 3.0 GHz processor

OS:

Windows 7 64-bit



If not, what should I upgrade?Can I max out Mass Effect 2 at 1080p with this build?
Well,

See pal,your Graphic card is exactly what you are expecting,it can almost max out any games in 1080p,but

You have wrote your Cpu name wrong my friend,did you mean Core 2 Duo E7500 2.93?

(cause there is no Core 2 Duo Dual Core,there are only Core 2 Duo %26amp; Core 2 Quad,also Dual Core series are very different from Core 2 Series,they are much weaker _just for notice_.)

if so,

you can get all you want in any game out there in 1080p.

enjoy your gaming Dude.

PedrettCan I max out Mass Effect 2 at 1080p with this build?
I'm almost sure you should be able to. I can even get a playable framerate at that resolution and I only have a 9600 GT. I lower it 1600x900 to get 60 fps, but I think you should be able to run it fine.



Have you ever tried to run Mass Effect 2 on that PC before? Some players have problems with a 64-bit OS. If you haven't then try the demo first.

Mass Effect 3 release?

I know it's coming out winter 2011 but where are all these websites getting their dates from?

http://www.asda-entertainment.co.uk/games/platforms/xbox-360/mass-effect-3/10293230.html - 26th August

http://www.shopto.net/XBOX%20360/VIDEO%20GAMES/XB2MA26-Mass%20Effect%203.html - October 7th



It's annoying :(

Also, when will the collector's edition be announced and roughly how much do you think it will be?Mass Effect 3 release?
They try to guess, but later will try to correct themselve.

I think there is going to be collector's edition for $70Mass Effect 3 release?
dates are based on estimates but the real release date will be announced by EA/Bioware later in 2011 and most likely there will be a collectors edition my guess is between $70-90Mass Effect 3 release?
They're guessing. A Bioware rep said that they will be the first to announce a release date but they haven't decided on anything specific yet.

Why does Mass Effect run slow on my laptop?

Dell Studio 1558

Intel Core i5 M 520 @ 2.40 GHZ but turbo boosts to 2.93 GHZ

6 GB RAM

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Intel HD Graphics Core i5 card



I have to run Mass Effect on the absolute lowest video settings and resolution and there is still some hiccupping and massive video lagging, and it looks plain awful playing it this way. My laptop should be able to handle it on the highest settings with no problem. What's wrong?



I have the game from Steam with the latest patch and the Bring Down the Sky DLC. Help?Why does Mass Effect run slow on my laptop?
You have an Intel HD video card. They aren't too good with 3D games.Why does Mass Effect run slow on my laptop?
That'd be like me running out and buying a car at random, and then b*tching when I can't go 4-wheeling in it.

So you like learning things the hard way, and not reading up on what you're about to buy?Why does Mass Effect run slow on my laptop?
Probably need a better graphics card computer games rely on that heavily today.
CPU and RAM are both excellent. Unfortunately, your laptop is only using the integrated video card.



IGPs aren't any good for anything above flash games. To play most modern games, you need a dedicated video card.



For example, my laptop has an i5-460M CPU (turbo @ 2.66 ghz), 4 GB RAM... and most importantly, an ATI 5650 Video Card. Dedicated cards (like my setup) cost more, use more battery, and run hotter - but they're essential for gaming.



Now, if you were on a desktop, it would be as easy as buying some new hardware and plugging it in. But in your case, that's not an option.



You have two options. First, accept that you can't game on that laptop and either suck it up or get a new one. Neither one is a great option.



Or secondly, there's something called Vidock. It allows you plug in an external GFX card and output the image to an external monitor. Unfortunately, the performance is a fraction a laptop with similar hardware built it. Secondly, you have an external box to plug in - to both your computer and a monitor.



Sorry to hear that. Otherwise, that's a great computer - but not for gaming.

  • Earning squad points in Mass Effect 2?

    How do you earn squad points in Mass Effect 2? What is amount based on?



    Also are "romance" videos on web actually from game?Earning squad points in Mass Effect 2?
    When you level up, each person on your squad earns points to be used to upgrade their skills. If you have the auto-spend option on for squad points, then you won't be able to choose where the points go, the game will do that for you.



    There are romance scenes in the game, but all of them involve showing very little. There might be some showing of some back skin or something, but nothing remotely adult. I haven't seen any videos about the romances, so I can't confirm if they are really from the game, or just someone making it look like from the game.

    You should have an introduction video. If you want to make a Mass Effect LP video. You might want to play through the game first. In any event there are a ton of games you can play and upload video walkthroughs to YouTube.

    I got Mass Effect for my PC and when trying to play get this error message "Mass effect has stopped working"?

    I have a windows vista laptop with core2duo 2.00 ghz 3gb ram. Intel mobile series 4 chipset with 1.3gb video ram.



    Has anyone else had this problem and do you know how to solve it.

    I can get to the loading screen but then I get the error.



    I would be very greatful if anyone could solve this.



    ThanksI got Mass Effect for my PC and when trying to play get this error message "Mass effect has stopped working"?
    I have a very similar laptop and I have the same problem. I think it's something to do with the graphics not being powerful enough although this seems unlikely as my laptop can play call of duty 4 .



    make sure that you go to program files, mass effect, binaries and right click the main program shortcut (with the big m icon) click on properties then compability then make sure the run as an administarator is ticked. It might help but it didn't work for me. hopefully you get more luck.I got Mass Effect for my PC and when trying to play get this error message "Mass effect has stopped working"?
    I think it's your graphics card. I contacted the ea support and after about two weeks of them telling me all sorts of generic ways to fix it they finaly worked out it was my graphics card.

    Processor problem with mass effect?

    My cpu usage when I play mass effect reaches 100% and stays there for the most part and will drop down to 98 sometimes. I am wondering if my processor,intel centrino 2 duo, is just not enough for it even though the site I use to see if i meet the requirements for games says my laptops meets the recommended requirements. I can resident evil five and dawn of war 2 better then mass effect so far even with all the video setting on low and other stuff just off.Processor problem with mass effect?
    This is normal. This is good.

    The idea is that you want games to use every resource you have in your computer. Compare to some other game that would only use 60鈫?0% of your processor. The version of the Unreal Engine used in ME is just that efficient.

    I have a Athlon64x2 5600+ (2.9 Ghz) and it runs at 100% with both ME and ME2. I've heard of players with quad-cores and they run at 100% with ME. It's fine.

    The only problem is cooling. If your fan goes full fury while you're playing ME, you may want to look into a bigger, better heatsink/fan combo.

    I am stuck in Mass effect help please?

    Ok i am currently stuck in mass effect. I have just reached peak 15

    with the core, i dont know what to do, and it kinda sounds dumb, but im scared. I am not very good at video games, but what do i do now??I am stuck in Mass effect help please?
    You need to go into the core and go down into the core. There will be a very annoying puzzle.



    The best way to do this is to go to a previous save, get 100 omni-gel, and use it on the core to skip the puzzle. However, if you really can't do that, here is how to solve it:

    Keep this answer on the screen and do it very carefully, and you should get it right the first time. After you do that, you need to talk to the helpful AI about how to get the facility running again.

    you need to expand on where you are at. Don't be scared, explore, thats how you find your way.I am stuck in Mass effect help please?
    1. go to core. A: try to figure out the puzzle or B: use omni-gels

    2. take stairs, elevator to roof - fix landlines. return to core

    3. go to main room outside of core and go left. fix fuel lines (or whatever it is)

    4. go back to main room and go straight across to passenger trams

    5. take the train

  • Mass Effect Book Series.?

    This is kinda of a question/suggestion.



    Now. Mass Effect is a well known Video game but also has two books that accompany the story. Now, being a video game, that often is a turn off for readers since often, video games are mindless killing.





    That is not the case of Mass Effect. Mass Effect has an absolutely phenomenal story line and the books are enriched in detail. You don't need to play the game to catch onto the story, and you don't have to be a gamer to enjoy this book.





    The bottom line is, these books are amazing books for those who like either adventure, Sci-Fi and futuristic fiction. I would suggest 12 years old plus readers because of the descriptive words and occasional "dam*" word.



    That's the suggestion. Now my question is, who have read both or one of the two books? If you have, what is your opinion on them?Mass Effect Book Series.?
    You lost me at "often is a turn off for readers since often, video games are mindless killing." I am an avid gamer and an avid reader.



    I do plan on reading these books because I have enjoyed the game so much (actually, I have them on my save for later list on my Kindle).

    We are exposed to countless hours of television, radio, print media, and other mass media such as video games?

    We are exposed to countless hours of television, radio, print media, and other mass media such as video games and internet content -- much of which is increasingly violent. QUESTION: To what extent to you believe this violent content is having a negative effect on the socialization of our youth? Do you believe we should make a national effort to censor such violent content -- or do you believe such efforts would be useless and infringe on our freedom of speech.We are exposed to countless hours of television, radio, print media, and other mass media such as video games?
    1. Depends how our minds work, my dad was a mobster movie fan and he'd watch The Godfather, Casino, etc. whether I was with him or not, that gave me a fascination for violent movies and I became a fan. I don't regret it, as an EMT I can see some pretty gross stuff and not get sick, etc.



    2. I think it is the parent's decision whether this type of media should be censored or not. That is why TV networks made parent control so that the parents decide what they want their kids to see.We are exposed to countless hours of television, radio, print media, and other mass media such as video games?
    It's pointless. I grew up on Resident Evil, The X-Files, and Tales From The Crypt. I don't go around chopping up people and selling them in a restaurant. My parentd taught me this stuff isn't real don't do it.We are exposed to countless hours of television, radio, print media, and other mass media such as video games?
    I play Resident Evil, Silent Hill and other "violent" games but I don't go around hurting people. It's easy to blame video games rather than the parents for not doing their job properly.

    Need help with remembering a Mass Effect 2 quote?

    It is on Thane Krios' recruitment mission, when you approach the Eclipse trooper standing by the window. You enter the conversation, and it is possible for Shepard to threaten to throw the guy out the window. He says something along the lines of.... "Will you hear the sound when you hit the ground?"



    I can't remember exactly, so if someone could post a video of Shepard actually saying that, or just provide me with the dialogue from that particular scene that would be awesome.Need help with remembering a Mass Effect 2 quote?

    Mass Effect 3 same engine as Mass Effect 2 ?

    I recently saw some videos from the e3 expo where mass effect 3 was displayed...

    Im definitely amazed, but the graphics seem to be the same as mass effect 2 ...

    Maybe it's because it was played on xbox 360 and not pc maybe the pc version looks better..

    What's your opinion ?Mass Effect 3 same engine as Mass Effect 2 ?
    well its to do with this.

    Mass effect 3 Engine's
    Microsoft Windows: Unreal Engine 3 modified %26gt;(Unreal Engine 3.5 not verified)%26lt;
    Xbox 360, PlayStation 3: Mass Effect 3 engine (modified Unreal Engine)

    Mass effect 2 Engine's
    Microsoft Windows: Unreal Engine 3
    Xbox 360, PlayStation 3: Mass Effect 3 engine


    So you can see that 360 %26amp; PS3 are prity much using the same engine its a shame thy didn't w8 till 2012-2018 to bring this game out as the Unreal Engine 4 comes out around that time.Mass Effect 3 same engine as Mass Effect 2 ?
    ME2 and ME3 both use a modified version of Unreal Engine 3. When promoting the PS3 release they said it used the ME3 engine, but later a developer confirmed on the forums that's is the same engine as ME2 but with some tweaks.

    Officially there is no such thing as Unreal Engine 3.5.Mass Effect 3 same engine as Mass Effect 2 ?
    It uses Unreal Engine 3.5, which is still a pretty amazing engine. Unreal is up there with Cryengine and Source IMO. Very good. I'm okay with the fact they're keeping it, as long as they work on textures. It's always annoyed me that the textures for NPC's clothing, and various other objects is so 2004.

    Should I buy Mass Effect 2?

    I've been looking at the trailers and videos of Mass Effect 2 and all I can say is "IT LOOKS SO SICK!!" Now one thing I am really hesitant about is if it's gonna be like Dragon Age: Origins which was also developed by BioWare. At first I thought Dragon Age was going to be cool and I was going to like it, but when I played it, I was so disappointed and that I wasted 60 bucks. Now im just wondering, is Mass Effect 2 basically LIKE Dragon Age, like the gameplay and such but just in a more science fiction genre? Looking at videos of the gameplay, both the games are different being M.E. being a shooter and like looking more at a single character view than D.A. Can someone help me out before I waste another $60?Should I buy Mass Effect 2?
    They are 2 completely different games. DA is a throwback to the old PC RPGs bioware used to make. Mass Effect is a much faster-paced action RPG. It's new shooting mechanics can hold its own against other shooters, not just RPGs. Great custimation, interactive cut scenes, fast paced action, this game will have it all. It makes the line between movie and video game ultra gray. The best thing though is the emotional attachment you will have to this game and your squadmates. In ME1, there was this decision where you had to kill a squadmate. After doing this, I really felt hurt and sad for days, even while not playing. Not many games can say this.



    Definatley get ME2, will be Game of the Year 2010. And watch the launch trailer if you haven't seen it. Might be the best trailer I have ever seen in my life.Should I buy Mass Effect 2?
    If you play Mass Effect 2 as the Soldier class, it will pay a lot more like other recent action-shooter games. So the game is quite different from other RPG's like Dragon Age in that manner. I'll include a link to a page that has gameplay of the Soldier class, so you can see for yourself what I mean.Should I buy Mass Effect 2?
    I agree with you on Dragon age....sigh. I feel I wasted my $ too, the whole "point and click" thing along with pausing to set up your other characters was way too tedious for me.

    But...

    M.E. is nothing like that. It's fps/3rd person if I'm not mistaken(watched my brother play)so get M.E.1 used first to see if you like it. I bet you will:-)

    Also, it's part of a trilogy and if you have the first, you can transfer your last save to dictate the ending outcome of the second. Same goes for the 3rd.



    I recommend you getting it. Def NOT like D.A.

  • Will Mass Effect 3 be the last Mass Effect or will it become like halo and start making prequels?

    Mass Effect is my favorite video game series and I'm really pumped for Mass Effect 3. But I also feel sad knowing it might be the last one.



    So I was wondering if it will really be the last one. Like they said Halo 3 was going to be the last Halo but then they made Wars and Reach which are prequels without Master Chief. Will they do the same thing will Mass Effect only without Commander Shepard?



    I for one am hoping they make Mass Effect prequel games based on the books. Like I hope they make Mass Effect: Revelation a game and get to play as Captain Anderson just like in the book or even play as Kathleen Sanders in games based on Mass Effect: Ascension and Mass Effect: Retribution books. LOL.Will Mass Effect 3 be the last Mass Effect or will it become like halo and start making prequels?
    I guarantee you that Shepard will die at the end of ME3. I'm even thinking that no matter what you do, the Reapers will still win and the cycle will start again. So, yeah they might start making prequels.Will Mass Effect 3 be the last Mass Effect or will it become like halo and start making prequels?
    In an interview they said that the third Mass Effect will not be the last, but it will be the last in the shepard saga, they did not say what the next ones would be about, just that this would be shepard's last gameWill Mass Effect 3 be the last Mass Effect or will it become like halo and start making prequels?
    only problem i can see with doing games based on the books is how they tie into the ongoing story,



    with revelation being the prequal, there would be too much the develpers would have to pigeon hole you into (ie,no matter what you wouldn't be able to stop saren)



    I'm 1/2 through retribution, and we don't know what happens in ME3 yet....BUT....from what we seen so far, i definitely wouldn't mind kahlee and anderson having to go and rescue gillian from some sort of captivity, perhaps they then need to rescue shepherd (perhaps he's captured at the end of ME3), maybe the illusive man has a plan if something happens to him

    Mass Effect sound won't let the game start?

    After downloading the game and pushing play, it would load past the splash and then go black. I did some testing and found that my sound was the source of my problem. My sound and video drivers are both updated. I tried updating the game to 1.2, but now it crashes AT the splash screen, not after. I could play the game without sound, but that wouldn't be very fun... Anybody know the fix?Mass Effect sound won't let the game start?
    Well, remove and reinstall the Audio Driver. If its realtek, its prone for problems. And you might wanna reinstall the Direct X latest version thats get supported in your pc. The direct X will most probably be provided in the installation disk. I had this same problem for Black Ops. I rectified it later with this process :)

    Mass Effect 2 problem?

    This is a problem which has plagued me since forever it seems. I purchased Mass Effect 2 brought it home and it installed just fine, however there seems to be a problem, the game will not run properly. It starts just fine and runs through all the opening credits and such with no errors but when I attempt to create a character it freezes up irrevocably forcing a shut down via task manager.



    I thought it was my video card as Mass Effect 1 would not run until I updated to a new card and new drivers so I know it cant be that. Is anyone out there merciful (and knowledgeable) enough to help me out with this its really frustrating and I would be so happy for the help, I dont want to be stuck with software I cannot use, someone please help.Mass Effect 2 problem?
    If you have technical issues it would really helped if you posted some technical details about your PC. What hardware and driver versions do you have?



    You say the problem occurs when you want to make a character, but since character creation is not at the beginning of the game, can I assume you have already done the introduction scene on the Normandy?

    Is this a good idea for Mass Effect 3/questions ?

    I just recently became a big fan of mass effect. I thought about how awesome mass effect 3 sounded, and I thought "maybe I should try mass effect 1", and mass effect 1 honestly blew me away. I am so excited for mass effect 3, and I have it pre-ordered. But, It doesn't look like I will be able to finish mass effect 1 fast enough before 3 comes out, or even get mass effect 2. I plan to refund mass effect 1 for the mass effect 3 strategy guide. I truly think mass effect is for me, and I am good at it. I understand I won't be able to import save files, and that I will start over fresh. Will 3 still be as fun starting over fresh, as importing save files ? Will I also be able to romance Liara starting over fresh ? I ALSO watched a six minute video summary of mass effect 1 and 2 created by IGN, so I know what happends, what the story and situation is, etc etc.Is this a good idea for Mass Effect 3/questions ?
    im almost in the EXACT situation as you, but i didn't get mass effect 1. im just going to wait for mass effect 3. what game developers do is they make a recap, or they have a new story. since thousands of new fans start their mass effect experience on a sequel (like us) it wont be ruined if our first mass effect game is mass effect 3.Is this a good idea for Mass Effect 3/questions ?
    It won't because all of you choices will save and be transferred to your new game and you wont have to go through a half an hour menu to make your Character the stories are also one after the other so it is like reading a book series

    How do i get Miranda to hang out in my room in mass effect 2?

    I just beat the game and i did have romance with miranda but i noticed in a youtube video she also hangs out in your room, is this only in the computer version?How do i get Miranda to hang out in my room in mass effect 2?
    I have the computer version and this never really happened, even after romancing her. Not sure how you get her to do that...

    Dragon Age Planet in Mass Effect 2?

    I don't know if I am going crazy but I swore I remember seeing a video of Shepard and her/his team landing on the Dragon Age Planet and recruiting/training a few of them to join her/his team.



    I remember watching a video about it when Mass Effect 2 was first released but now I can't seem to find any information or that video anywhere?Dragon Age Planet in Mass Effect 2?
    You do not land on the Dragon Age planet (which if I remember correctly is just a parallel of medieval Earth) and you do not recruit any of them.



    The connection to Dragon Age is that if you have a copy of Dragon Age and have the code for the Dragon Blood armor, that unlocks a set of Dragon Blood armor in the Mass Effect 2 game.



    I don't think you're going crazy. We all remember things that didn't happen from time to time. But in this case you did not remember correctly. That never happens in the game.

    How do I find Legion in Mass Effect 2?

    I finished the Horizon part where you meet Ashley, and I was told by the Illusive Man that I need to recruit Thane, Tali and Samara. I was wondering if I find Legion here because I've seen people's video on how Tali reacts to Legion for the first time, so can I find Legion now? I heard he's towards the end of the game and I find him on a Reaper or something by the Illusive Man, is that in an email or something else. Thank you!How do I find Legion in Mass Effect 2?
    During a unavoidable main mission, you will come across him. Make sure to choose not to turn him over to Cerberus in the conversation following the mission, then you can find him in the AI Core. That room is access through the Medical Lab once you have the being that will be known as Legion.How do I find Legion in Mass Effect 2?
    You can get him by doing the Reaper iff main quest that the illusive man tells you to do after you recruit 2 of the new squad mates.





    ***SPOILER ALERT, AND WARNING IF YOU DO GET LEGION***



    After you do the iff quest, they install it in the Normandy, and then you lose your crew (not squad) and you can do only one mission before the suicide mission. After that you start losing your crew (this is meant to be able to do the Legion loyalty mission). The more missions you do after the first one, the more crew members you lose. It doesn't make Mass Effect 2 harder, but will it probably change your Mass Effect 3 story.

    Note: I have been able (on the PC version) to do the iff mission and Legion's loyalty mission before they install it and abduct your crew, but I don't know if this is a bug or not. (they install it right after his loyalty mission)



    ***SPOILER ENDS HERE***





    If you didn't want to read the spoiler, I'll just say that it isn't the best idea to get Legion before you get your other squad members.How do I find Legion in Mass Effect 2?
    It's towards the end of the game, when you get the Reaper IFF, you still have some ways to go before that. As for Tali's reaction that's after you have previously finish Tali's loyalty mission, and just finish Legion's

    What do you think about Mass Effect?

    Mass effect is a video game (Yes I know there's a video game section. Bare with me)



    Okay so Mass effect is a video game where an Intelligent life existed billions of years ago but died out leaving behind this massive city in space. I'm not going to get into the details of the game cause it isn't important.



    The universe is 13.7 billion years old. It's possible the planets began forming around stars after the first one hundred million years or so. That's basically 13 billion years of evolution somewhere.Alright so let be save and say a earth like planet formed somewhere in the universe one billion years after the big bang. The planet evolved life and died within two billion years. The details od there demise isn't important. Say a strange virus spread are kills all life so all that left is the massive city in space that they've built.



    Here's my question. Can a unnatural structure last several billion years in space intact? (there are no collisions or explosions)What do you think about Mass Effect?
    that depends on the elements that exist in the environment and the material the buildings were built with, which can cause deterioration/erosion of the buildings. so to answer your question, yes they could.

    Is Mass Effect 2 anything like the game Fracture?

    I was thinking of getting Mass Effect 2, but after seeing both the cover of the game and a few videos on youtube, it looks similar to Fracture. I got Fracture for free when i bought my Xbox 360 and I absolutely hated that game. Are they similar, or is it just that they are both 3rd person?Is Mass Effect 2 anything like the game Fracture?
    No mass effect 2 is nothing like fracture , mass effect 2 is a rpg its strongly story based and exploration based the game has over 100 planets to explore and is 2 discs long because how much data is present .



    This is the one thing i hate to see people do , get mass effect 2 without playing the first one , all your choises and decisions , endings , girlfriends and save data will carry over from part 1 meaning its a truly unique expierience playing 1 and 2 having whatever ending you got come over then talking to your friend and he carrys his game over but got a different ending , then you 2 had a different experience then each other . Mass effect 1 was so strong at making the littlest thing you do change everything that everyone whos owned it has beat it at least 2 times if not more to get different outcomes . And messing up on something in it is fun because you load a save go back and end up with a completly different event





    I beat mass effect 5 times 1 as female 4 as male and each time was different , so if i played mass effect 2 with each of my characters the games would start different





    Bottomline i say buy mass effect 1 play it , beat it and have that data carry over so you see how it impacts mass effect 2 , i own both and if you play 2 without 1 your missing out on something truly unique ,Is Mass Effect 2 anything like the game Fracture?
    No, definitely not! Well actually I haven't played Mass Effect 2, but I have Mass Effect 1, and it isn't just a 3rd person shooter like Fracture. Both Mass Effect games are RPGs and there is much more to them than shooting, such as exploring planets, completing side quests, and plenty of conversations (which actually influence the story, which is very good by the way).



    But anyway, to make a long story short, they're completely different types of games (and also Fracture sucks for anyone while Mass Effect is awesome if you like RPGs at all).

    Why is the Normandy on Mass Effect 2 painted blue instead of Red like Mass Effect 1?

    I watched the newest trailer and the Normandy has a blue streak instead of the red one. Why is that? Here is the site for the trailer.

    I DON'T KNOW BUT MASS EFFECT IS STILL AWESOME.

    What's the hype about Mass Effect?

    I tried ME2 demo on Xbox 360 and I was actually bored of it in the beginning, I watched the video "previously on Mass Effect" then the other cut-scenes, and played the demo but felt nothing good from it.



    Games shouldn't be judged from demos but demos help games getting recognized, and it's a method of playing it before it hits the stores.



    Mass Effect is basically based on killing space monsters as I seen? Like Halo?What's the hype about Mass Effect?
    Not one bit. Mass Effect 2 is best when played after completion of Mass Effect 1. (have you played/beaten it?)



    I too was very skeptical but after trying it myself it turned out to be a very detailed, and in depth game. Every action, interaction, and reaction has a result on the path you and your team takes, along with affecting the build of the team you encounter and claim as your own.



    Final Word :: Its nothing like Halo, if you like RPGs its more than worth purchasing.What's the hype about Mass Effect?
    If you just see the demo, then yes, Mass Effect is killing space monsters.



    However, if you actually play the game, you will find it's much deeper than that. You can actually make your own decisions that affect the game. Your decisions and character from the first game can be imported into the second game and will affect the story. Personally, it's one of my favorite series of all times.



    If you are tempted to get into it, I suggest buying the first Mass Effect. The second is a great improvement, but the first is a good place to start. It's cheap, and will really help you get into the story.What's the hype about Mass Effect?
    For me, Mass effect is about the story, the game play is good. But nothing amazing. But the characters..the story, you will quickly found yourself sucked in, thinking if i do this..what will happen? Nearly every action you take had an effect on everything else, and the actions that dont have an effect are probably just there for humor.
    It is a demo. You should never judge a game based on its demo.

    Is Mass Effect 2 playable with my video Card?

    I have a GeForce 6150SE nForce 430. Can You Run It says its not good enough, but ive heard that website isnt completely reliable. Any Help is appreciatedIs Mass Effect 2 playable with my video Card?
    That's not a video card, that's an on-board graphics chip and a really CRAPPY one at that. What did you pay for that computer, $200-$300? It will probably run it but not at any speed that is playable. The framerate will be so low that it will be ridiculously choppy and laggy. You probably also have an AMD Athlon 64 single-core processor which is not a good gaming CPU to boot. I've only recently seen that 6150SE in cheap eMachines microtowers that were meant for everyday home computer use, DEFINITELY not for gaming. You need an nVidia GeForce 6800 graphics CARD or better to play mass effect 2. You're not even close.



    It's like asking if you can pull a double-length U-Haul trailer with a Geo Metro. Good Luck.Is Mass Effect 2 playable with my video Card?
    Wow, really. Well then, just make sure you have a power supply of around 450W and pop in an ATi Radeon HD 4670. That should have you gaming nice.

  • Should I buy or borrow Mass Effect in preparation for Mass Effect 2?

    I want to purchase Mass Effect 2, maybe even preorder (if there are bonuses), but I have not played Mass Effect. I looked at some gameplay videos of the citadel missions and the story already has me very, very interested, but the gameplay looks slow paced and the game and scenery looks simple, dark, and dull. Would it be better to borrow this game, (I'd borrow a PC version while my copy of ME2 would be for the 360) what benefits are there in owning this game for $30?Should I buy or borrow Mass Effect in preparation for Mass Effect 2?
    I'm on my third playthrough of ME 1. Each playthrough takes 30-40 hours. If that doesn't say enough, I'll explain why you should get it:

    -excellent game. The only problems are minor ones, mainly that side missions take place in buildings which are designed similarly.

    -great presentation. Top-notch graphics and voice acting for the entire cast.

    -fun gameplay. You can be a shooter, force powers user, or tech expert.

    -fulfilling story. One of the best stories in a game I've ever played.

    -realistic conversations. You choose what you say in conversations and can have multiple results to each conversation. It feels real compared to other games.



    Why you should get it before getting ME2:

    -save file carries over. What you do in ME1, mainly key storyline parts, carries over into ME2.

    -will know story. ME1 is a long story, and it would be better to play it than read a summary before going into the second game.

    -it's fun by itself. You will probably want to play it again after beating it once. I recommend buying it.Should I buy or borrow Mass Effect in preparation for Mass Effect 2?
    i think you should definitely play the first game..it had a great storyline and if you want to get the second one i think its common sense to play the first one. i would rather get it for xbox...but that is just me.Should I buy or borrow Mass Effect in preparation for Mass Effect 2?
    if its just to see the story line then borrow it.



    buying it is for the people who want to do all the side quests. the side quests are actually kind of dull. i bought it but i LOVE the story line and i am a big ME fan but if you just want to catch up then borrow it for 3-4 days

    Mass Effect: Joker Question?

    I was just wondering, i have seen some Mass Effect 2 videos (I have Mass Effect 1 but not 2) and i have seen Joker walking. I thought he couldn't walk due to his disease in the legs? In Mass Effect 2 did Cerberus like cure his condition while Shepherd was dead or something? Can someone fill me in please?Mass Effect: Joker Question?
    J.E. is right. Brittle bones don't prevent you from walking. You'll see in the video of him walking in ME2 he's limping badly, it's not like he's skipping about.

    You know, the best way to find out would be to buy the game. If you have ME1, why not get ME2? It's fracking fantastic.
    He only has brittle bones. He isn't paralyzed. So he CAN walk, it's just very difficult for him. If you spoke with him during Mass Effect 1, he would've explained to you that he can walk around with braces and crutches on but has to be very careful because a simple mis-step can snap a bone. No Cerberus did not cure him.Mass Effect: Joker Question?
    He's got Vroliks syndrome. Basically, just brittle bones. He can hobble around, but chances are if he did so much as stumble something would break.



    And no, it's not been cured in ME2. You can hear Mordin talking about a potential cure...that wouldn't work for certain reasons.
    You can find out everything about him here : http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Jeff_%2鈥?/a> *possible spoiler alert*Mass Effect: Joker Question?
    yes he did he was cured and was able to walk after i have 1 and 2 of mass effect

    Mass Effect gay/lesbian relationships?

    I was wandering around Youtube the other day when I stumbled upon multiple videos of Mass Effect 1 and 2. It surprised me that they had female Shepard getting it on with any and all of the female characters, as well as male Shepard getting together with male characters. Is it possible to do this on the XBox 360 or PC? Or does it just mean that a bunch of horny computer nerds of a higher caliber than me just reversed engineered the graphics and such so they could place their fantasy scene in a video? I personally want my female Shepard to get together with Ashley, but that's just me.Mass Effect gay/lesbian relationships?
    I'm not sure if you can do it on 360 but I know you can do it on PCMass Effect gay/lesbian relationships?
    Male Shepard is always straight and he can only have relationships with Ashley, Liara, Miranda, Tali (in ME2), Jack and Kelly Chambers. Female Shepard is bisexual and can have relationships with Kaidan, Liara, Jacob, Thane, Garrus (in ME2) and Kelly Chambers.



    If you see a video or screenshot with gay romance it's because someone rewrote some of the game settings.Mass Effect gay/lesbian relationships?
    The "gay" Shepard is a PC mod. However, Fem Sheps can hook up with Liara in ME1, although Liara is only an alien that looks female, but is actually unisex. ANd you can be flirty with Kelly in ME2. Male Sheps can not hook up with any male characters on the Xbox version.

  • Space Movies? Mass Effect?

    Im looking for a space movie thats kinda like the video games mass effect. Not exactlyl like the game but the same idea. Humans and aliens working together to stop the bad guy kinda thing.

    AND NOT STAR WARSSpace Movies? Mass Effect?
    It's funny you mention Star Trek since a lot from Mass Effect was based on that franchise. I saw a lot of influence in the movie Star Trek: First Contact. I'm not a Star Trek fan myself, but I really like that movie.



    The idea of a "Prothean" artifact that advances civilizations comes from 2001: A Space Odyssey. In that movie an artifact is always present when humanity faces a new technological evolution. 2001 Also uses the "fear of artificial intelligence" trope that is very important in the Mass Effect storyline.



    Mass Effect also draws inspiration from Battlestar Galactica. The music is based on Vangelis' Blade Runner soundtrack, but that's not a space movie.



    There are also two Mass Effect movies in the works. One if an anime, the other is a live action movie by Legendary Pictures from the producers of The Dark Knight and Spider-Man. More info about the live action movie in two weeks at Comic Con.Space Movies? Mass Effect?

    Will Mass Effect run on a BFG GeForce 9500GT Video Card?

    Don't say "You can do better", my power supply can't handle anything higher then that card.Will Mass Effect run on a BFG GeForce 9500GT Video Card?
    Yes it should run Mass Effect 1 on reduced detail. That card has a 128-bit memory bus width, which is good for such a low end card even though it uses regular DDR2 modules and not Video card grade GDDR2/GDDR3 VRAM.



    You could also buy a Radeon 4650 or 4670 which should work fine on a 300W PSU. Both these cards draw power from the motherboard and not externally from the PSU. They are also faster than the 9500 GT.

    Is playing Mass Effect 1 a must for Mass Effect 2?

    Is playing Mass Effect 1 a must for Mass Effect 2? I saw a video a long time ago when someone from the gaming company that makes mass effect 2 will be based on your saved game from mass effect 1. I deleted the game months before they even mentioned they where working on a part 2.Is playing Mass Effect 1 a must for Mass Effect 2?
    It's not required but I would recommend it. What I've read about playing ME2 without ME1 data is that you get some rushed synopsis of the first game and then it's business as usual for the rest of ME2. I can only imagine without having played ME1 at length that this will inevitably leave you a little in the dark at certain points.



    ME1 is mad cheap though and Best Buy is currently having a buy 2 get 1 free sale on 360 platinum hits which includes ME1.Is playing Mass Effect 1 a must for Mass Effect 2?
    Yes or there will be a hostage situation cinematic sequence near the end of the game and you console will crashIs playing Mass Effect 1 a must for Mass Effect 2?

    Mass effect 3 confusion?

    i have seen the latest video of mass effect 3 on

    http://www.pagesportal.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=33%26amp;t=413



    1. Mass Effect 3 will have fewer party characters than Mass Effect 2. Is it true ? I mean they are fool not to have more party membersMass effect 3 confusion?
    Fans complained that you couldn't talk to all squadmates after a mission, like in ME1. Hence the now infamous line "Can it wait for a bit? I'm in the middle of some callibrations." The devs said ME3 will have less squadmates than ME2 so they can develop them further. Characters will have more depth and interact with each other on missions.
    Mass Effect 3 is cool, I'm loving it, so, emm, check this page, there you know the detailed information of your proble. Usuful indeed.Mass effect 3 confusion?
    will hav less from 2nd more from first game
    Confirmed Squadmates in ME3 according to the magazines:

    * Garrus
    * Tali
    * Liara
    * Ashley or Kaidan
    * James Vega

    So, 1 new and the 4 from the first game that make the most sense have been confirmed as permanent. There may be more, but those are the ones we know for sure at the moment, and we know it will be a smaller number than in ME2.

    ALL the other former permanent squadmates will be in the game in some capacity, but they have roles in the galaxy that they're filling during the invasion and bombardment of the Reapers. Some will be cameos (Jacob for instance is likely to be a cameo) but others, like Wrex and Mordin, have jobs to do which may result in you bumping into them during a mission on their respective homeworlds, in which they may be temporary squadmate.

    Word has it that Anderson will also be a temporary squadmate. We may even see characters like Aria and The Illusive Man as possible temporary squadmates.

    Fewer permanent squadmates sounds bad at first, but it actually yields some positive possibilities:
    * More temporary squadmates that you may or may not see coming.
    * Situation-specific banter instead of the silent deadpan faces of your squadmates in ME2 where they rarely reacted to anything. (Imagine if Thane had called you out for taking him down to Pragia, or if Miranda and Jack had more detailed reactions during each others' loyalty missions
    * More convos between characters, and more chance of those discussions evolving--can you imagine Kaidan/Garrus and Ashley/Tali banters if you romanced both of them?

    Hope that answers your question. :) This did take me aback a little at first, but it could end up working out even better than in the first two games.Mass effect 3 confusion?
    yes it is true, there will be fewer party members in mass effect 3. Bioware is doing this because they are focusing on making stronger bonds with certain characters. But, that doesn't mean you wont see any characters that USED to be party members. The main focus in mass effect 3 is to build a large army to fight the reapers. so you aren't recruiting people now, you are recruiting factions. And some of your former squad mates will help you.
    Mass Effect 3 Will have less newer characters but more characters from the original such as Ashley
    probably saving a few for dlc content like in masseffect 2 think there was 3 members that joined from dlc would not really worry till game is out
    Idk

    Are there any other good "Space Opera" games for fans of Mass Effect?

    I've run dry on video games to play, and I need something to entertain myself. I love the epic stories of space operas like Alistair Reynold's Revelation Space series and Peter F. Hamilton's Commonwealth Saga. Because I like these kinds of books, I love the Mass Effect series.



    So are there any epic sci fi games you can recommend? PC games only.Are there any other good "Space Opera" games for fans of Mass Effect?

    Which is better for me- Mass Effect 2 or Final Fantasy XIII?

    I LOVE Final Fantasy X, X-2, and XII and would really love to play XIII but I don't want to wait until March. Mass Effect 2 looks great- I like Resident Evil, Gears of War, and game similar to those and that is available now.

    I'm a video game novice and I wonder what you all think I should play?Which is better for me- Mass Effect 2 or Final Fantasy XIII?
    If you have a ps3 i would definitely say FFXIII. If you're not sure if you'll like it or not, go to the official website mentioned in my sources and look at some of the trailers. The game should keep you occupied for at least 50-60 hours without side quests. And you only need to wait another 34 days.Which is better for me- Mass Effect 2 or Final Fantasy XIII?
    well if you liked FF XII and X-2(supposedly the worst FF games out there) then you'd absolutely love FF XIII. and those are definitely not games you can rent. cant say much about mass effect but it simply has a different feel to it than FF. also i believe its best to play mass effect 1 before 2 if you haven't already.Which is better for me- Mass Effect 2 or Final Fantasy XIII?
    Unless you're dirt poor why don't you play both of them? If you get Mass Effect 2 now, you will have more than a month to come up with another $60 If that is something that is really hard for you to do, then you have bigger problems, and should be putting your priorities elsewhere.

    Which video game is better Oblivion on 360 or Mass Effect on 360?

    Oblivion will keep you busy for hundreds of hours.

    It ahs a REALLY long Main Quest, ontop of hundreds of Side Quests and Guilds to join. You will have hours and hours of fun.



    Now, I'm actually playing Mass Effect at the moment on my Second playthrough. What I like about Mass Effect is that it isn't like many other games, all the alians in it and 2 Squad Members of your choice fighting with you make it great. Plus, you don't run out of Ammo with your Guns. It just overheats once you've been constantly shooting out of it for about 10-15 seconds.



    So, try and figure out which one is for you from these 2 descriptions I have wrote.Which video game is better Oblivion on 360 or Mass Effect on 360?
    I prefere mass effect because I prefere Sci fi and there are so many choises, try and buy one then the other when it is cheaper
    I havent played mass effect, but as to me oblivion is a classic. You feel like you are in a living worldWhich video game is better Oblivion on 360 or Mass Effect on 360?
    Mass efectt. you know the xbox was basily made for shooters so thats what you should be doin, its a cool game to. oblivion is a good game for pc, but not for consoles
    Oblivion.

    Its free roam, the combat system is engaging, it can be scary and yet stunning with its graphics, and the way you play your character is very customizable. It can take up a lot of your time if you don't cheat, over a hundred hours easily. It also has incredible AI, the NPCs actually move and you have to examine them daily to know their schedules. You can befriend bandits even if you train in a certain skill. Though sometimes the AI can be a bit brain dead.



    Though if you choose the PC

    The best part is all the unofficial mods it has. You can add new quests, equipment, NPCs, companions, lands, enemies, models, and a whole lot more stuff.

    Go to www.texnexus.com and just the good content alone can triple your game contents.



    However, it can also become very difficult straining later levels, and a bit tedious. So I'd reccomend Mass Effect if you want simpler and less expansive gameplay.(Never played Mass Effect though)Which video game is better Oblivion on 360 or Mass Effect on 360?
    I havn't played either but i here mass effect is very good.
    Oblivion is pretty much the best videogame i have ever played and i have been playing videogames since Nintendo Entertaiment System and Sega Master System.



    To tell you the truth they are both amazing games and even trough i prefer Oblivion, Mass Effect is still a great game who deserve to be played by all RPG fans.
    i suggest oblivion because you can play for a long time and it has very good features and good down loads
    MAss effect, sweet graphics.and funny when evil.

    Can i run mass effect 2 with Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family video card?

    NO..u Cant..!!!





    As Simple as Tat.

    Is the end of Mass Effect really the end?

    I just completed Mass Effect and was disappointed to see the credit role after an epic video. Does this mean that I cannot continue and complete side quests now that the main one is done?Is the end of Mass Effect really the end?
    yea, just go back to your earliest save before landing on the prothean ruin place and play the side quests. Go back even earlier if you want to be able to go to citadel. If you feel it ended too soon wait for Mass effect 2.Is the end of Mass Effect really the end?
    Yea, you had to do the side missions before doing all the main ones. You can always start a new game and do all the sides this time. But if you rented the game, i woudn't waste my time on ALL the sides on all few to lvl up because i read it takes about 30 hours of gameplay for all of it so if you bought it, go nuts.Is the end of Mass Effect really the end?
    Well, you can "continue" Mass Effect. Basically you start a new game with your old characters and what not.



    Personally I've never gotten this to work nor has anyone I know. It just keeps kicking you back to your last save. However if you do a quick google search you'll see people talking about it. Also I asked a Bioware (Mass Effect's developer) rep this at GenCon Indy this year and they confirmed that you CAN continue a game in the mannor listed above...I just personally can't get it to work.

    Why can't I download the Mass Effect / Seth Green videos on xbox live?

    I just cant seem to find anything that will let me download it.



    p.s. This is after the new xbox live update.Why can't I download the Mass Effect / Seth Green videos on xbox live?

  • What video game to get...Dragon Age Origins, Forza 3, Mass Effect?

    I have Gears of War 2, Borderlands...i am getting Modern Warfare 2 and my brother is getting Assassins Creed 2, and i Still have a lot of spending money, and if i were to get another game, i would still have money for other things i want to get, so i want to get another game...the thing is i don't know what i want!



    Dragon Age doesn't look to appealing but if you can tell me otherwise go ahead.



    Forza 3 looks kind of cool, although i am not very fond of racing games at all.



    Mass Effect looks like it can be good cuz it is an RPG, but i heard it is still pretty linear which i dont like. How many hours of gameplay can you get out of that game?



    I want a game that was released this year mostly, so what do you suggest based on the genres i like: Role Playing and ShootersWhat video game to get...Dragon Age Origins, Forza 3, Mass Effect?
    well I have Dragon Age, it's pretty fun. There is a lot of dialogue though and it's very story driven. I can't promise that you'll like it, but it's a badass game regardless.What video game to get...Dragon Age Origins, Forza 3, Mass Effect?
    First of all im not a fan of racing games so this is a little biest, but i own mass effect (i assume your talking about the first one the second comes out early 2010) and have read a lot of articles about Dragon age. First of all both Mass effect and Dragon Age were created by Bioware in my opinion the best RPG company only challenged by Bethesda, so already they look good. Both have compeling stories and in Mass Effect you can chose from 3 options of youre past that effect the story mildly, but in Dragon Age you choose from 6 Origins that Greatly Effect Gameplay. You could probably get both since last year i got a used copy of Mass Effect for a friend that was only 15 dollars and its probably gone down.What video game to get...Dragon Age Origins, Forza 3, Mass Effect?
    I haven't played Dragon age yet, but do play to get it, however I have the other two.



    Forza 3 is just plain awesome. The driving physics are great each car truly feels different. The graphics are stunning. Lots of fun. Totally not a RPG like the other two games. And since you aren't fond of racing games, this should be at the bottom of your list.



    Mass Effect. Great game, very fun, repeat play value, cheap, sequel not to far off from being released. If you play a lot, you can finish this fairly quick. The side quests aren't too long, but the game still plays well. As for linear, sort of. The questing isn't linear, but the worlds are. No free roaming like fallout or oblivion...

    Why is Mass Effect 2 so awesome?

    I've never been much of a video game person. In fact, this school year has been so busy with academics and sports, that I haven't played a single video game since December. However, my dad got Mass Effect 2 5 days ago, and I've played about 12 hours.Why is Mass Effect 2 so awesome?
    "Why is Mass Effect 2" so awesome?

    it is a weird question,so you are just asking why is it so good???!!!

    maybe as you said you have not seen good games for a while my friend.you are right,games have got very enhanced %26amp; very impressive these years,

    but there are better games in graphics than ME 2 like,

    Assassin's Creed 2 with complete day %26amp; night cycles,that's unbelievable,it has got Scimitar2 Engine.Ubisoft has got a lot bigger.

    games like Resident Evil 5,i believe it is the best game ever released on PC,you won't believe it's Dynamics %26amp; Textures quality.Capcom is a big name as we remember in Devil May Cry Series.

    also Call of Juarez II is incredible in graphics specially in Textures %26amp; also in controls.you won't believe unless you play it.

    %26amp; in War games Call of Duty Modern Warfare II is just excellent.

    PedrettWhy is Mass Effect 2 so awesome?
    it's amazing because of the crossover from 1, the intricate story telling and characters, combat and the fact that it is unique for each person who plays it from their choices made through the series so far.

    Video Game Question: I have just started playing " Mass Effect 1"?

    I have just started playing " Mass Effect 1," and was curious to know what a good build for my character might be. Of course this depends on the class, but that is related to the " build" of the character. For those of you who have beaten the game on the hardest difficulty, and are experienced RPG players, what is the most valuable class/build in this particular game?Video Game Question: I have just started playing " Mass Effect 1"?
    My approach is to get to the highest level that unlocks the Master version of the power for each talent if possible, invest enough points in each talent to get at least the lowest level of the talent (and other bonuses), and max out both the class talent and either Charm/Intimidate. The only talent in my opinion worth progressing beyond maximum is Electronics for the shield boost it gives (270 points!) if you have a Tech class. It doesn't matter what class you use--that's a good guideline. Later in the game, once you get powerful weapons, you'll eviscerate everything in your path.



    For a beginner, the best class to use is the Soldier, since you'll be able to learn what weapons are good and which aren't. Once you get experience at the game and with the various abilities (you can use your allies' powers as if they were your own), you'll know what powers suit your play style best.Video Game Question: I have just started playing " Mass Effect 1"?
    It depends on how you want to play. If you choose the soldier class, you'll have the ability to use all weapons, such as heavy weapons, and that becomes useful against the harder bosses. That being said, having the biotics abilities are useful as well. It's always fun when you have maxed push or throw that you can blast someone halfway across the battlefield if you want.



    Also, make sure you when your building your character that you always have either your Paragon or Renegade as high as you can possibly get at that point in time. Wrex, one of the best partners in the game, will live or die depending upon if you get those maxed out. If it's not, you won't get the conversation option to save him. You'll be forced to kill him. That greatly affects your game and the gameplay in Mass Effect 2 (which will affect Mass Effect 3).Video Game Question: I have just started playing " Mass Effect 1"?
    Personally i enjoyed mostly the soilder class. In ME1 most classes are squishy and have 'issues' with the powers. Your sturdy enough to withstand the fights and that assult rifle is a godsend, also you can use any weapon and arent just limited to the pistol.

    Cerberus daily news in ps3 version of mass effect 2?

    I've seen videos of people playing mass effect 2 and when they are at the main menu the laptop at the side opens up and shows the cerberus daily news, when I play that doesn't happen the laptop stays closed and it only tells me that I am connected to EA servers.Cerberus daily news in ps3 version of mass effect 2?
    'Mass Effect 2' loaded with extras for PS3, When "Mass Effect 2" was released on the Xbox 360 and PC a year ago, it was a brilliant interstellar marriage of third-person shooter mechanics and RPG depth.

    A year later, Bioware is finally giving PlayStation 3 users a chance to experience the wondrous gameplay and story of "Mass Effect" with a souped-up release of "Mass Effect 2". Essentially, a loaded Game-of-The-Year edition, it's bundled with extra features and captures all the excellence of last year's mega-hit. But a handful of design missteps keep it from being truly superior to the 360 version.

    For anyone unfamiliar with the Mass Effect series, here's a quick primer. This is a space-themed RPG that casts you as Commander Shepard in a quest to save the galaxy. Humans are second-class citizens in this world, which is run by The Council, a group of alien leaders.

    The first game saw Shepard, a human, assemble a rag-tag team and save the galaxy. But "Mass Effect 2" takes place a few years later and opens with Shepard's ship being destroyed. You're left for dead, until Cerberus, a shady group in the first game, reconstructs you to do their bidding. The ensuing quest is filled with intrigue and action as you try to unravel the mystery of the alien race known as the Collectors.

    I have an HP dv6t series laptop that I am looking to upgrade it to play higher end games like Mass Effect 2?

    I am looking to replace the CPU, motherboard, and video card. How much would it cost me, and would it even be possible, to upgrade those to accommodate games like Mass Effect 2 - while I don't need them to run on maxed-out settings, Medium graphics settings would be fine. I was thinking about the ATI 5770 HD video card, but am unsure if that would fit in my laptop. Thoughts?I have an HP dv6t series laptop that I am looking to upgrade it to play higher end games like Mass Effect 2?
    All you can upgrade is the RAM and perhaps the hard disc. The ATI 5770 HD is a desktop card that can only fit in a PCI-e 16x slot that only desktop motherboards have. The card might even be wider than your laptop.



    Laptops have mobile versions of video cards which are slower and part of the motherboard. If you want a computer that you can customize, you're gonna need a desktop PC.I have an HP dv6t series laptop that I am looking to upgrade it to play higher end games like Mass Effect 2?
    You cannot do such a thing.



    Laptops have integrated video ccards and they only support one motherboard; the one that came with them.



    Might I suggest a gaming laptop or a gaming computer.

    Mass effect how does it end ?

    I played the game for 2 hours, i know basically the story. The Sicilius guy (or whatever he is called) is a traitor and you need to find him and kill him.

    Can someone please explain what happens in the game briefly so i know the story in mass effect 2

    That's all i want. The main story explained and how it ends. So i know what should happened in mass effect 2

    A video would be good to. Thanks in advance. Sorry if i made a grammatical mistake. I need fast answers so plz helpMass effect how does it end ?
    Well you become a Spectre, chase Saren with the help of Kaiden Alenko, Ashley Williams (Alliance soldiers), Garrus Vakarian (Turian, former c-sec officer), Tali'Zorah Nar Rayya (Quarian on her pilgrimage), Urdnot Wrex (Krogan mercenary), and during your pursuit of Saren you rescue and recieve the help of Liara T'Soni (Asari archaeologist who studies the protheans).



    Saren manages to stay one step ahead of you, but you manage to figure out the information that Saren was after at each location, eventually you catch up to him at a facility where he is breeding Krogans and studying Reaper technology, a major turning point here. Up to two of your squadmates can die here (Kaiden or Ashley WILL die, no way to avoid it, you had to pick one to save), and you realize that Saren is in fact being manipulated by the Reapers.



    Eventually Sovereign (the Reaper that was initially believed to be Saren's ship, but was in fact a Reaper itself) launches an attack on the Citadel and you come in right behind Saren, kill him, and give the call to either save the council or let them die, either way, Saren's defeat causes an unspecified malfunction in Sovereign that allows the Alliance to destroy Sovereign, thus humanity either makes a new council or joins the current one.

    Mass Effect 1 vs Dragon Age? video game?

    I like sci fi and fantasy both. I like rpgs too. For 360 BTW.Mass Effect 1 vs Dragon Age? video game?
    Dragon Age: Origins is my absolute favorites game (with Mass effect 2 not far behind).

    I would suggest you try them both (:Mass Effect 1 vs Dragon Age? video game?
    I like Mass effect. Mass Effect you can choose what you want your player to say you can travel to a bunch of different planets and it brings a good first person shooterMass Effect 1 vs Dragon Age? video game?
    I agree with speeddemon mass effect is a really good rpg, but mass effect 2 is even better
    They're both great games but the Xbox version of Dragon Age is flawed. If you can't get it on PC don't get it at all. Mass Effect 1 was designed for the Xbox 360 and has less flaws. It's not that they don't exist, because the Xbox version suffers from framerate issues, but the technical issues are less dramatic than those of Dragon Age.



    RPG fanatics will probably prefer Dragon Age because it allows more customization and has more traditional RPG combat. Mass Effect is an RPG/third person shooter hybrid that in my opinion is better than traditional RPG gameplay but many people seem to disagree. But as I said, if it's for Xbox 360 then Mass Effect is definitely the better choice.

    Want Opinions: Do you think the Mass Effect and Bioshock movies will be good?

    Video game movies have a reputation for being horrible. Now, Mass Effect and Bioshock have my favorite stories of any of my games. But, so did many ill fated video game to movie adaptations in the past.



    Thoughts? Comments? Post below. Basic discussion board, feel free to talk about any upcoming VG or comic book movies coming out.Want Opinions: Do you think the Mass Effect and Bioshock movies will be good?
    Yeah, that would be awesome, but we see the storyline as something that desires a movie, that would be an awesome movie, so we want something amazing, but we usually get another crappy movie which will disappointing. Another thing is that it would take a lot of time to make such complex movie as Mass Effect, because simplifying the storyline would be crap. That's my word.
    Mass Effect is being made by legendary Pictures who made The Dark Knight so these aren't rookies. Sure, they've made bad movies as well, but every studio has. At least they have good source material so if they treat it with respect it would be hard to mess that up.



    Bioshock could be a real challenge. The art is extremely important because Bioshock was an extremely pretty game design-wise. I think the quality of a Bioshock film is very hard to predict.Want Opinions: Do you think the Mass Effect and Bioshock movies will be good?
    video game --%26gt; movie adaptations always seem to come out better than if they were the other way around lol



    i think BioShock will have too much CG. There's really no other way to do it, but I just think it would look awesome if they actually built sets of rapture like Fort Frolic and Med. Pavilion, but I can see it being more like Sin City.
    If the production values are high, and the team that did the games oversee the project, then yes, the movies should be good.



    Read: I honestly thought the Mario movie was incredible. I know a lot of people thought it was mediocre, but as for me, I loved it.Want Opinions: Do you think the Mass Effect and Bioshock movies will be good?
    I can see Mass Effect being a hit flick, as long as Christian Bale plays Shepard. Horror films just cheese me out, so I probably won't like Bioshock even if it was well-produced.

    please help...I am shopping for a video card to play mass effect for the pc on my Acer pc is this one ok for me?
    Hey, I would NOT reccomend that card to anyone who is playing games on computers. That card is a few generations old, and likely will barely be able to handle new games with any sort of performance. I'd reccomend that you budget about 100 - 150 dollars, and buy something in that range. I'd reccomend the lowest you go is the Nvidia 8800GT. Even that won't run high graphics, but its much better than the 7300. Also you could go with an AMD 4850 , which runs around 160, but will let you play most games on HIGH settings. Hope this helps you out man. I know thats alot for a video card, but when you see these new games on highest settings it'll be WELL WORTH the money. Good luck and happy gaming !I am shopping for a video card to play mass effect for the pc on my Acer pc is this one ok for me?
    That video card will probably work, but it's very low end. You'll likely be playing Mass Effect with all the effects turned on "Low". Also, if the rest of your computer is low-end (which is probably is, since it's an Acer), the game will run poorly or not at all. There's more to gaming than just a video card. It'd be worth it to spend a bit more and get a video card in the $100 price range like a 8600.

  • PCI Video Card needed to support Mass Effect!!! HELP PLEASE

    I have a Dell Dimension 3000 series PC, and of course, it only supports a PCI interface. I bought mass effect and the msr for it required an NVIDIA GeForce 6800 or an ATI X1300 XT. Unfortunately, those won't fit my computer. I've been searching all day and I am stumped as to what to use. Please help me out, I'd appreciate it a lot. PCI Video Card needed to support Mass Effect!!! HELP PLEASE
    Can't do anything about it. PCI cards are very rare to find and are generally overpriced. Still you could look on newegg. PCI slots have VERY limited bandwidth that's shared between all the PCI cards in the system so you will notice significant bottlenecking.



    I would just return the game...PCI Video Card needed to support Mass Effect!!! HELP PLEASE
    You are saying you have PCI interface as your vcard input? As far as I know common vid cards are PCI-E or Agp. Please check your manual...whether its PCI or PCI-E. If its pci-e then you can buy any pci-e vid card that supports mass effect. The Geforce 8800 GT is a great card and if you are lucky u'll find it under $130 in ebay. If you want a good gaming experience and don't have a pci-e motherboard then you should upgrade. Upgrade to a mobo that has pci-e. I understand its a pain but that's how it is, without a pci-e slot you won't be able to play decent recent games.

    Which video game should I get- Bayonetta or Mass Effect 2 ?

    There two very different type of games, so its really what type of game you prefer, an Action RPG or Hack and Slash.



    Im a huge fan of the Hack and Slash genre, so for me it would have to be Bayonetta over Mass Effect 2.



    But, most importantly, you need to take into consideration on which genre you prefer out of the two in order to get the right game for yourself.Which video game should I get- Bayonetta or Mass Effect 2 ?
    I would have to say if you are looking for length in a game go with Mass Effect 2. If you are in for 6 hours of a lot of action then Bayonetta is the game for you.
    mass effect 2 because it has a lot more thing to do than in bayonetta,plus it have a very good graphics and longer gameplay.Which video game should I get- Bayonetta or Mass Effect 2 ?
    I'm sure you must choose mass effect 2,cause it's will give a new experience of playing rpg games.

    Mass Effect 3 Co-op Video?????

    http://www.livestream.com/biowaretv/vide鈥?/a>



    Now that you have seen the video what do you think. For me personally I don't feel like it really answered our questions that well, I would've liked to see more gameplay to see how it works, it was basically a video of the tweets, nothing really new :(Mass Effect 3 Co-op Video?????
    lol, how can it not make sense?



    have u played RE5, someone who just start the game can play co-op with some who has finished and has everything in the game already...



    ME3 Multi its not Multiplayer VS its Multiplayer Co-op.Mass Effect 3 Co-op Video?????
    Well I don't see how that would work because what if you want to join someone's match but their high level than you?

  • Mass effect 2 videos?

    Well, i just got the game not long ago, and i already got up to halfway. But when i was watching the X-play's mass effect 2 special story line preview, there were some videos that i seemed to have missed out. For example, When Jack escaped from her cell. I could see the video in the X play pod casts, but i can't see when i play the game, can someone please tell me what's wrong?Mass effect 2 videos?
    Well each person experiences the game diffrently, but getting jack is something that happens no matter what.



    Did you do the "recruit the convict" mission?

    Make shure you have done the Archangel and mordin solus quests first (And that planet mission you get from ceuberus during that time)





    If you stile can't do that mission.





    Then I suggets to return your game.



    Also are you shure your halfway?

    What would be a great video card for games such as Mass Effect 2, Napoleon Total War, CIV IV, and Borderlands?

    I got Nvidia Galaxy 8400 GS about 2 months ago, and it' not catching up with the latest games. I am going to get a bunch of games soon (some listed above) and I need them to look pretty disent. Games such as Mass Effect 2 and Napoleon Total War, I have to play on minimal reslolution and graphics settings on low for good performance. I'm thinking of getting a more powerful video card but not too expensive. Any edvice? Thanks))What would be a great video card for games such as Mass Effect 2, Napoleon Total War, CIV IV, and Borderlands?
    The 8400 is not a gaming graphics card. That series of graphics card judges power by the hundreds place (200,400,600,800). 8800 GTX is a great graphics card and not too expensive. The only thing is, you may need a larger power supply unit. The 8800 will run a lot of games smoothly for a couple more years.

    Mass effect 1 vs red dead redemption video game?

    I know they're different types of games but I like both genres. Singe player onlyMass effect 1 vs red dead redemption video game?
    RED DEAD REDEMPTION IS THE BEST GAME EVER !!!!!!! red dead is much better !!!the world is always feels alive and is full of surprises!!!! always expect the unexpected!!!!!! it has a longer single player and combat is always fun and is not always repetitive and even has online private multiplayer where you can complete multiplayer missions such as gang hideouts all by yourself without interuptions from other players !!!!!!!Mass effect 1 vs red dead redemption video game?
    Hello,



    I played Mass effect 1 and have played it at least like 6 times all the way through (just like Dead Space). I liked it but it is not for the faint harted that is not inclined to get and do everything. If you only follow the general game and decide not to scan every inch of a planet and if you brought the wrong skilled character or your character hasn't the skill you need to go back to the ship and switch your side kick that has the skill and go back for the task.



    I have not played Red Redemption but there seems to be allot of others who do. You can get a copy of Mass Effect 1 new between $16 %26amp; $21, used (which is no big deal to me) will be even less.



    This just means for the same price as a new game or less you probably can get both used.



    Heck Mass effect 2 is as low as $27 new. With tax and the first two used you could have all three for the price of a NEW just released game at $59.99 plus tax.



    Have a good day.Mass effect 1 vs red dead redemption video game?
    I would go after ME. The reason being is because of the story, not only do your decisions matter, they carry over to the other games. So decisions made in Mass Effect 1, carry over to the 2nd and 3rd game eventually. So it makes you wanna play it alot.



    Red Dead is fun, but i found it too be really repeative.
    get mass effect. its longer and a lot better

    red dead is also a great game. but not as good as mass effect

    Which video game is better? Oblivion or Mass Effect?

    They both seem really cool, im kinda leaning toward Mass Effect, but ive never really played RPG's that much in the past so...Which video game is better? Oblivion or Mass Effect?
    I'd say go with Mass Effect. By far. But look at some gameplay videos, check IGN or (my personal favorite) ScrewAttack, do your gaming homework. Then you can pick for yourself better than I canWhich video game is better? Oblivion or Mass Effect?
    Oblivion, that game is amazingWhich video game is better? Oblivion or Mass Effect?
    Mass Effect is fun, but it has the gayest 2 hour long intro in history, but I've never played Oblivion so I'll have to go with Mass Effect

  • Space Opera for fans of Mass Effect?

    I recently beat the video game Mass Effect 2 and am interested in reading some Space Opera science fiction. Does anyone have any suggestions for fans of that particular video game series?Space Opera for fans of Mass Effect?
    The most famous one is of course the Foundation series, by Isaac Asimov. The original trilogy is awesome. From Asimov also "The Caves of Steel" and "Pebble in the Sky".



    I also liked the David Brin's Uplift Universe series and A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge. Harry Harrison and Jack Vance wrote some good ones as well.



    Classic ones are the Buck Rogers and Perry Rhodan series.Space Opera for fans of Mass Effect?
    congrads try the game makers sitesSpace Opera for fans of Mass Effect?
    Star Wars. Now tell me what this has to do with Astronomy.

    Should I give Mass Effect 3 a chance ?

    Should I give Mass Effect 3 a chance ? I know what happens in the game, and it sounds so awesome, BUT, I have never, ever played a mass effect video game before, and most of the time, I think I am a noob/o.k. at shooters. But, I could at least handle myself on saints row 3 on hardcore. I think I was bad at call of duty, but I could be wrong. I'm not sure whether or not health will regenerate, but I absolutely hate constantly searching around for soemthing to increase my health if it doesn't regenerate. I also do not want to be scrounging around for ammuntion. Can you still play the game after you beat the story mode, do missions, etc etc ? Here is a list of games that I am good and bad at: I am really awesome at batman arkham city on hard, I am at least decent or good at saints row 3 on hardcore, I might have sucked at call of duty, I was a total noob at Skyrim, I think I am decent at Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, I am at least decent or good at racers, and I am sort of a noob/o.k. at fighting games, like marvel vs capcom 3, mortal kombat 9. Based off all this info., should I give mass effect 3 a chance ? Would I be good at it/like it ?Should I give Mass Effect 3 a chance ?
    I suck at Call of Duty as well, but I just started the Mass Effect series last week. I was worried I wouldn't be good at it so I'm playing on normal, funny thing is now I'm ready to go above normal. You'll quickly get the hang of it, but you should play the others first to get familiar with the series, plus they're cheap (better to get something cheap and hating it than something high-priced and hating it). I think you'll like it though. On the previous games you can still do side missions and dlc missions for new party members. It gets easier as you progress, I think it's because you get more guns. Once I zoom in with the sniper rifle I no longer need the assist of my team. Hopefully it doesn't get too hard when I go beyond normal difficulty.
    You should give it a chance. They actually have the demo out now if you want to try it on XBL and I am sure it's out on PSN as well.



    I would strongly recommend though it's not mandatory to play the two games before Mass Effect 3. It's a trilogy, stories are connected.Should I give Mass Effect 3 a chance ?
    You really should play it. Just turn down the difficulty. The shooting is a lot less intense as some of the other games. Although you should play mass effect 1 and 2 for the story. Your choices effect Mass Effect 3.
    Okay since you can't play the demo, look up the demo gameplay on youtube or something. The game is amazing, well the mass effect series is. You should definitely give it a chance. its one of the best rpg games out there.Should I give Mass Effect 3 a chance ?
    you should totally play 'cause you can play the game and you aren't shooting all the time, the game is quite good the storyline etc it is cool indeed give it a try with the demo
    I play demo, very awesome, I am sure it won't let you down, so try the demo, and then make you choice
    If your good at saints row 3 hardcore then your good at all 3rd person shooters like ME3 so yes.
    yes get me3 on a console
    Just play the demo.
    Do you mean, should Mass Effect 3 give you a chance?
