That's why my shep got toasted.

Wouldn't an option to go talk with Samara about Liara have been really cool? It would've been nice to have Shepard ask for advice about these young asari maidens, and for perhaps Samara to give us some insight into just what Liara is going through.

This is a pretty good story, dunno if you've read it or not, sort of along those lines. Samara and Liara are both very accurately characterized. Kinda short, but still good nonetheless

Hmm, well I'm just tired of PC games lately, most them suck these days, and I wanted a change. I kicked the habbit of MMORPGs, they all suck too anyway...I'm waiting for SWTOR now. Been kind of bored without much to do gaming wise.

I dont think you have to worry too much about 360 fail anymore, if u buy the elite model. I replaced my bricked xbox with the elite, but i havent really played it much yet, planning on getting ff13 when ME2 stops being fun to play.
In terms of graphics i think its more about what kind of TV you have, but the elite is supposed to be able to support HD better. One thing that pissed me off was that it didnt come with HD av cables so when i went to hook it up to my good TV for guitar hero i found it lacking them just in time to disappoint at a party

Ahh yes good point. You need the 360 elite for all the good video support. That's what I bought, and HDMI cables make games look awesome.

I'm running on an Arcade model with HDMI and ME2 looks great, even on a 1080p TV. Wish I had a gaming computer; although I honestly prefer the 360 controls to the PC controls, which was my main reason for not upgrading my computer.

I take back the elite thing, for some reason I thought the other models didn't come with HDMI.

The older models didn't (I think) but mines about 1 and a half years old, so it's the newer version.

Yeah, the 360 version looks nearly as good as the PC version (you lose the AA and super high def, though); I'm sure that ME1 runs better on the PC though as the 360 version has terrible framerate issues.

does ME1 on the PC have that annoying ass texture popping issue that it did for 360? i was so glad that crap was fixed for ME2, i cant remember how many times i sat there waiting for the asari councilor's spots to appear =/

That was terrible. There was only one spot that happened in ME2: Joker during the suicide mission beginning. They finally optimized their engine (pretty well.)

That's true. ME 2 looks better and runs much smoother than ME 1. The technical aspects in my opinion are the only real improvement over ME 1. I think any hardware that runs ME 1 should be able to play ME 2 too, now that the single core bug has been fixed. And given that ME 3 will be made for the same console again, there's actually no reason at all why the game should not still run on the same hardware, if they don't go and create artificial problems again like the mentioned single core bug.

I don't play very many games.  Usually I have a select few games and just play them to death.  Im on pause with ME 2, but I still love the whole "universe" which is why I post here.  Ill probably start up BG 2 again soon.

I've been having problems with ME1 crashing on my PC lately. I think it's Windows 7, since I didn't have this problem before I installed it. Other then ME1 though, Windows 7 is much better for gaming.

I built this PC back when I raiding end game in WoW, used to run everything max settings and have 75fps or so in full raids and pvp. I left WoW for Aion and ran that at like 120fps at max settings in some crazy world pvp. Have been upgrading it once in awhile for the last couple years.

ME2 runs great and it has never crashed on me yet, but ME1 does from time to time. It gets stuck when you're talking to people, the wheel will just freeze up and you have to tab out and close it down.

I don't have a console but I've been thinking about getting one, I'm not sure if I want to now. Does the 360 fail that often? Are the graphics not better or atleast the same?

Almost caught up, but so far the 360 has never failed for me -- then again, for various reasons I've had three 360's.  The first got stolen a bit more than a year ago, the second was a loaner, I discount the one we got next because it was specifically bought with a RROD from someone who'd lost hope in the warranty system just a little too soon -- they extended the warranty on E74's AND some other faults to three years shortly after that -- and the one we got from Microsoft because of that one, has worked pretty well.  So the longest I can attest to it lasting is a year, but if it lasts less than three they'll send you a new one, almost-no-questions-asked and totally-worth-the-phone-wait-times.  (Almost.  Took us eight total hours on hold to get through when they sent us one that didn't work with the power brick we had -- they changed those midway through the production line.  Oh, and it wasn't eight consecutive hours, but two three hour stints and an hour.)

And as for graphics ... goddess-damned Saints Row 2 plays ten times better on the 360 than the PC.  Then again, it's a legitimate Porting Disaster according to PCGamer and Game Informer.  Still, the graphics are often so good that you need to get HD or the VGA cable to fully appreciate them.  (I think they're about 720p usually, good frame rate -- but there are a few five-second pauses in the dialogue.  Not nearly as bad as Bloodlines's intro, and it seems to be in line with quality-of-disc nowadays.  (Not a single lag with my ME2 game, but a couple of them with my ME1 game, and apparently GTA4 was running a few by the end, before it got stolen.  And I'm almost insulted that that got stolen and ME and my Matrix box set didn't. <_<  Do thieves have any taste?  Seriously.)

EDIT -- and no pics still?  Someone post the Happy Liara is Happy pic, before we go pic-less )

Ahh... great game still. Those were the days, BioWare were independent and quality came first. My favourite romance in any video game is still the one with Jaheira.
