Actually you keep repeating the same thing over and over and yet you yourself havent even played the Mass Effect games to even understand what I am talking about. If YOU HAD, you would have figured out for the ninth time ive repeated it, that just by playing ME1 on Xbox 360/PC and THEN playing ME2 on PS3... you CANNOT get the full experience. And the comic does NOT offer up the full missing experience. I have disproved you many times, but because you have zero experience with the topic in question, you don't realise it. It says RIGHT THERE, clear as day in the Joystiq quote. Blind much?


I absolutely agree with you there.  I never said it, I never implied it, and no one else said that playing a comic recap is better than the actual game.  You keep circumventing my point because it's all you can do.  So let ME make this VERY clear.  Here is how you get the potentially best ME expereince on consoles:

1) Play the original ME on the Xbox 360 to get the full effect.

2) Play the PS3 version of ME2 to get the better graphics, and the downloadable content gives you better value.

3) What about influential decisions in ME that will effect the outcome at the start of ME2?  It's possible that the options in the comic recap will be sufficent enough to result in the same as if utilizing a saved file transfer.

4) So if the the comic recap is just as effective, no loss while you get a cool interactive comic recap intro by Dark Horse.

So this is how we gamers can get the best ME experience.  Joystiq's quote has NOTHING to do with the playing and experiencing of ME2 itself and the  outcome of the decisions made in ME whether it's the actual game or the comic recap at the start of ME2.


I have played the games for hundreds of hours, you have not. Trust me when I say I know wtf im talking about.

1)For the 900th time....Playing ME1 on PC or Xbox then ME2 on PS3 is NOT sufficient to get everything. Certain decisions and actions in ME1 are required to be able to get some quests in ME2. Without having that save file you cannot do it.

2)The comic DOES NOT give the option for the lesser quest's choices... AS JOYSTIQ SAID: "what would you do to a fan that seemed a bit too obsessed with you?" But you DID NOT understand the meaning of that. Because you HAVE NOT played the game. That quote is referencing a lesser quest and a decision point in ME1 being made which is NOT available for ME2 PS3 people. GET IT?
