My PC version has the same bug that Dragon Age had for me: the load times get absolutely ridiculous (like 2-3 minutes) after I play for ~3 hours, and I have to restart the game completely to get them back to normal.

Hmm that's odd.  I ran into that issue with DA.  I can't even describe how bad it was when I was in the Mage's Tower and finally rebooted.  I haven't run into that AT ALL in ME2.  Interestingly enough, both my DA and my ME2 are the Steam versions.

It's possible it might be a memory issue, or maybe you need to defrag your drive?  I've had no issues with ME2 at all and I'm running it with all the details maxed through nHancer.  DA gave me issues as I played, and also when those aura effects were on.  Allegedly they fixed that though I really haven't had the desire to play DA again.  I do miss Ohgren though.

nothing really wrong with the game mechanics.



my only major gripe was not seeing Tali's face. hopefully they will show in the last part.

I found the loading times to be sufficient. I agree with HK74 about the mission screens. However, I have an even larger concern with it feeling like a Gears of War game with immensely stripped down details and RPG elements. I miss ME1's gameplay style. Yes, it's more streamlined now, (entering cover, etc) but it is a much faster paced, shooter style game. Anyway, I'll keep this nice and short.

If you're running a multi-core system, you might want to mess with the core affinities. A lot of people said it improved their load times.

Loading wasn't a big deal for me. My biggest gripe was the lack of 3-way conversations.. I mean, come on. There were so many times where I'd be having conversations with one of my teammates and the third just sort of stands back there. They have nothing to say? Granted they did a couple times but not nearly as much as I thought they should.

Not to mention I figured bringing Garrus or Tali to go see Anderson, Wrex, or Liara they'd say something to eachother. Nope. Not even a "Hey we destroyed Geth together that was cool."

lol I still love the game but that was one of my biggest gripes

This is a bug with the game. I get two-three minutes loading times sometimes until you fix.



The way to fix it is you alt-tab, ctrl alt delete to bring up the task manager, right click mass effect 2 process. Set affinity, and bring it down to 1 processor. Wait a few seconds and then recheck all your processors.



Load time on elevators dropped from 2-3 min to 5 seconds.

I had alot of problems with ME2. The only thing having 2 discs seemed to fix were the long load times and texture pop ins. ME1 should have been on 2 discs.



I was unimpressed with the graphics, not much of a leap over ME1. The clothes still look painted on, it looked horrible in 1080i. The graphics certainly weren't as good as the CG shown in the trailers and I was expecting at least one or two cutscenes to look as good, but no.



The frame rate drop sucked. 30fps, thats a DS game. It looked so jerky going from scene to scene. Terrible, ME1 was better than that.



Control delay was was annoying. Whenever I made Shepard get in cover I would tap A once and then again because he wouldn't do it the first time and he would get in cover and end up vaulting over the cover in one motion.



There is alot to cover, the characters, the side quests, the last mission, the story, the gameplay, the music. This game was cutdown so much, it lacked so much. I remember one of the devs said the test file kept crashing and I wonder what they took out.



Mostly likely everything that would have made the game epic.



Maybe they had a bunch of good ideas and said, "Wait a minute guys. We can't do this stuff. This game is going to be on the XBOX 360. We have to take it out."



At best I give this game a 7/10.

I have no real issues with the loading times, tops would be 10 seconds but all and all it is relatively short. I much preferred the elevator rides as it was a great opportunity to listen to the "Galactic News" which I found in most cases very informative. Basically I much prefer listening to it on the endless elevator ride than having to stop a various consoles to listen to the news.



I would even love to have an All News Galactic Radio channel in my Captain's Quarters where I can listen to it while feeding the fish or reading my emails.



I do agree though that the after Mission summaries are so non-immersive maybe there we could get the Gallactic News while reading it.

For me, loading times were not a problem. I did notice, however that for me they tend increase in time the longer I play. A restart of the 360 solves that, and I just installed both discs to my HDD to see if that has any benefits.



The biggest "gripes" I had were these:

1. Ally interaction> As someone posted above, there are not really enough times that your allies interact with each other when talking to another person, ESPECIALLY a character from ME1. I can understand that the "elevator loading screens" were kind of boring, but they were also very informative depending on the quests you have done and what allies are with you. I would much rather stand in an elevator and listen to my allies argue/joke/talk, etc and have the Galactic News (which is awesome, IMO) playing than have next to no interaction outside of loyalty missions, and having to stop at little TV screens to listen to the news.



2. The Mako. Seriously, I LOVED the Mako. I didn't always like going from planet to planet to find anomalies and resources (which were useless) but that thing was fun as hell. The new resource/mining system is pretty neat and effective, but INSANELY boring when you need to get a large quantity of resources (ie; ship upgrades). I wouldnt mind going planetside in the Mako to scout out a big huge source of Platinum or something. Anyways, the absence of the Mako or a ground vehicle in general was disappointing. In the Normandy Crash Site mission I was so stoked to see the Mako again, and I honestly thought that I could take it.... :'( And the tomkah's from Tuchanka were another close one. I SO thought that i would be able to grab one of those.

(on a side note -- why would they give you the option to talk to the Used Ship Vendor on the Citadel if he doesn't do a damn thing? I have not seen a quest associated with him..)



Which brings me to my next point

3. The Citadel. I did not like the lack of explorable area. At first I thought "Well its probably all damaged because of Sovereign". Nope. Its all fixed up, save for 1 Ward. I miss walking around talking to all the shop keepers and other people. The Presidium was the worst. When I fast-travel to the Presidium, I would think "The Presidium" meant the whole thing - not just one room...



Lastly;

4. Control sticking. There were too many occasions where I would press 'A' to get into cover, and Shepard would just stand there, resulting in me mashing the 'A' button and ending up with Shepard vaulting over the cover and getting shot in the face. This happens mostly after getting hit with a rocket (even though I'm behind cover) in which Shepard stumbles backwards. if you don't hit the cover fast enough, the enemy usually can hit you with another rocket..



I might mention the fact that with the Terminus Armour, you cannot modify it in any way. The reason I'm saying this is because I always wondered how the hell people could recognize me with my big ass, fully covering helmet on. (Also, the scene where you see Liara for the first time and she kisses you... Yeah. How does a kiss work THROUGH a helmet?..)



Other than those carefully detailed things, I liked everything else! Gets a 9.5/10 in my book because I'm generous.



PS: In the mission where you kill Morinth, the battle between her and Samara, my sound cut out for that whole dialogue between them... I checked my cables and they were fine.. Did anyone else have that problem?
