Sure, I haven't been playing a ton of games lately, but how are the graphics bad.


Not Battlefield 3 graphics?

Sure, they aren't the best around. That doesn't stop them from being good. Or make them poor.

I dont understand why so many seem to have an issue with the look of the game.  Pointing at graphics and resolution.  I played the PC demo and it looked great to me.

On what monitor? 15"?

PC version looked great to me aside from a few texture issues - and I'm on a 24inch. I would like to increase the FoV a smidge though.

90 minutes of cut scenes worries me. I don't want auto-dialogue like in the demo, I want to direct what Shepard does and says.

That's some god awful reasoning.  You should want the best possible graphics even if it doesn't run as smoothly.  Mainly because you will get a better pc but the game in of itself won't improve.


Better graphics = higher cost = more cost passed on to the consumer via alternative routes.

It also means when I update my computer I actually have to take into account gaming, which I no longer do, due to limited funds to waste on new hardware specs. Console gaming is a budgetable hobby. PC gaming is an exercise in wasteful spending (for me anyway).

I don't need to update to the newest graphics and processing power every year. Nor do I want to.

I'm happy with the graphics in 90% of console games. I don't need them better, nor do I want to pay for them to be better. And the games whose graphics I dislike are usually due to the way they utilized them and not the quality itself.

I did used to be a PC gamer. It was great but I can't say I enjoyed the games anymore than I do now on consoles. The graphics never mattered to me or were bad enough to me to warrant me caring.

I'm glad to hear that review, especially that RPG-mode reminds of ME1 and that the game doesn't leave any loose ends or cliffhangers. Makes me look forward to the game again.

The 90 min cut scenes are the videos, not in-game conversation.
This is mentioned because ME1-2 had only a few min. of cut scenes.

Wasn't the demo on default action mode?

Aren't those the 3 variations - action/RPG/story, or something like that?

Common sense. When something costs you more to make you find ways of paying it off. Generally one makes a profit by making more money then they spent. Spend more, harder to make a profit.

ME2 had around 80 if I'm correct, while ME1 had a little bit less.

Actually ME 1-2 had 60 min of cutscenes, so 90 really isn't that much of an increase.

There was a heavy ammount of undirected dialogue in RPG and Story mode as well.

Why german has to be such a barbaric language?

Was hast du gerade gesagt?!

.
Is this german? or are you just randomly typing letters to make fun of me? 

Oh, ja.

Well as a fellow german countryman I support him making fun of people who call german 'barbaric'. Especially those with italian sounding names.


It's Greek.

I heard Liara speaks greek :-)

Isn't the really easy difficulty the only difference between Story and RPG Mode?

Guess who can't afford a new machine every two years?

I'm not happy at this 15-20 hours main quest playtime hope that was just the reviewer!
because me1 is usually takes 30 hours no sidequests and Me2 normally takes me 35 hours no sidequests.


How the hell does it take you 35 hrs on the main quest? ME2 mainquest takes me less than 10 hours.

If ME2 took you 35 hours, a 15-20 hr will probably take you 40-ish. you have to play slow or something, because the main questline just isn't anywhere close to being that long, even if you do the loyalty missions.
