EA - thanks for releasing this on PS3 with all the DLC included

Bioware - thanks for making a masterpiece. This is one of my top 10, top 5 even, games of all time.

Bring on ME3!

This is the Technical Support area you know...

[ssjmichael]

Kiss more ass please.

[johnny532]

And why are you thanking them? It's not like they gave us the game for free out of the goodness of their hearts. Also this game has some major game ruining bugs that need to be fixed still. I'm not trying to be rude I just find it curious when people thank companies for products when our payment to them should be thanks enough IMO. It's especially curious in this case when we paid full price for an unfinished product that still has major technical issues.

how is he kissing ass? He just thanking BW and EA theres nothing wrong with that

[half_empty80]

I know it's the tech area but I thought I would post in a PS3 specific forum. Yes I have paid £40 for the game, but there are so many so so games released it's great when something like this comes along. It's the only game I've played for two weeks, I haven't been this sucked into a game since Resident Evil 4.



Regarding the game being broken, I've been bricking it for worry of losing my save. Thankfully all I had was one case of the rainbow bug and one reset needed when I got stuck on the scenery. I've purposely left the shadow broker missions till last. It's a bit crap that a major release gets a big problem like the corrupt save issue and I sympathise with everyone that had it happen to them.

The game isn't broken. It's got some bugs, but it's not broken. If it was broken, nobody would be able to play it. Obviously if you use the work-around, you can play the game. This has been proven. So stop complaining about the game being broken.

You know, unless you just like complaining about stuff. If that's the case, complain away.

It's most definitely broken

[Rockpopple]

How is it broken? Plenty of people have played through the game with only a few problems several times. How is the game broken for them? It's the same code, right?



So how is it "broken" and not just buggy? I take "broken" as something that seriously impedes people from playing the game at all. Being buggy and being broken are different things.

[ssjmichael]

Your definition of broken is too restricted. It's not either playable or unplayable. Anything that leads to a significant percentage of people encountering a game-breaking bug is what I'd consider broken. And from the looks of it, ME2 has qualified.

[Rockpopple]

You have no idea the percentage of people that have encountered this bug, which has a workaround. It's not broken. If you choose not to play it, that doesn't mean it's broken. I can play it. Plenty of others can. In fact, if you use the workaround, just about everyone should be able to play it. That's not broken. That's bugged, and it's getting patched. Relax.

[ssjmichael]

Please tell me the workaround for playing the LotSB mission and then trying to recruit Samara. A game-breaking bug that has no workaround besides loading up a previous save that the user may or may not have.



Do you also believe the majority of people playing the game now are actually aware of the courrpted save problem and know to backup their saves constantly? I guarantee they do not.

[Beezlebubz]

But that's the thing, people should not be using the workaround. Broken.

[Rockpopple]

Fandago, you're making a choice. An easy workaround is available to avoid the corrupt saves, but you choose not to do it because you feel it's not your job to workaround a bug. That's fine. That's your decision. That doesn't mean the game is broken. If the game was broken, everyone who could play it from beginning to end with minimal issues wouldn't be able to do so. It's bugged.

SSJ Micheal, there have been plenty of people who have both done the LotSB mission and recruited Samara without issue. If the game was broken, it'd be broken for everyone, and no one would be able to. As for your other point, I didn't know about the corrupt save. I came here because of a weird graphical glitch, and found out a lot of people were having problems with corrupt saves. I didn't, but I was playing ME2 and quitting every couple of hours. Without knowing it, I was working around the bug. How many people are working around the bug without knowing it?

In any case, this all comes down to your definition of broken. To me, a game is broken when it's universally unavoidingly unplayable. Superman 64 comes to mind.

Rockpopple, the only reason you are still playing right now is because you have a USB and are creating backups. People shouldn´t have to do that. A game should be perfectly playable by just inserting the disk in the system and just playing through. No other precautions should be necessary.

[Rockpopple]

Beezlebubz, actually, my PS3 ate my USB stick and destroyed all my back-ups. But I haven't been playing from my backups, so no, you're wrong. Or you're just misinformed.

[ssjmichael]

rock, you're clearly unfamiliar with the samara bug. It happens to everyone if they happen to do the lotsb mission before asking anything about Samara. This bug is also present on the 360 and has not been fixed for at least 5 months now. People had to start their game over because of it.

[Beezlebubz]

Rockpopple, are you talking about having to take a break every hour or two? Because that is not guaranteed to work you know. There have been reports of people getting the bug anyways. Sure, you're probably more unlikely to get the bug, but its not a sure bet. And this is an RPG, some people play for hours at a time. People should not have to stop every hour or two.

[Rockpopple]

SSJ - okay, I didn't know about that bug. I'll admit, that bug breaks the game, but you can workaround it by not doing the Shadow Broker mission first. If people are aware of the workaround, they can still play the game.

Fandango - It sucks that you lost all that time playing the game, but nothing's stopping you now from starting over and playing from beginning to end with few issues.

Beezlebubz - I played last night for about 6 hours straight. Every couple of missions, I quit the game, then restarted it. I didn't restart my PS3, just the game. That's the workaround. It takes only a couple of minutes each time you do it.

Knowledge is power. I get being pissed off if you encounter a bug that breaks the game, like the Samara bug or the Corrupted Saves bug, but you can workaround them. You could start playing today and have a blast if you wanted to.

Rockpopple- You obviously have a different definition of what constitutes a broken game, that's fine. Most people however consider a game broken if it has a single bug or more that prevents you from finishing the game. It's awesome that you haven't encountered any game breaking bugs but that doesn't change the fact that they are in the game.

[Rockpopple]

Fair enough. I admit that there are definitely bugs that can break the game, and those are bad and should be fixed. I do think, however, that if you know those bugs exist, and how to work around them, nothing should stop you from playing and enjoying the game. That's probably all I'll say about that.

And what of those people who are currently unaware of the problem?

Exactly. Most people only found out about the bug when they actually got it. And don´t say "Well they werent using the workaround", because they didn´t even know about it in the first place. In fact, YOU should not be using a workaround to play this game, you should be enjoying it like any other game. Put it in, and enjoy.

[half_empty80]

Put it in and enjoy, got it in one. It sucks to have to backup your saves everyday and worry about losing your game. Jeez I wish I never started this thread and bet I'm not the only one.



Fandango I feel your pain, I lost a 30hour save in GTAIV due to a fatal mission glitch.

[TehFuZion]

on my 5th playthrough and never backed up a save

i dont know what you people are doing wrong O_o
