Yeah the Incisor is broken. I haven't tried the Geth Shotgun with my Vanguard but from what I've read, you charge up your shot, Charge, and then unleash it's full power at close range. So it maybe useful with a Vanguard as well.

Sounds good for single enemies, but for it to be better than the Claymore we'd need the charge-up time to be lower than the Claymore's reload, and that only works against two - MAYBE three - enemies before that stops.

But I love me the Eviscrator.

I'll test it out next time I play Vanguard.



1. No Lair of the Shadow Broker info today, though it was kind of expected by a lot of people (even if that was mainly in the BioWare forums).

2. Confirmation of this game coming to PS3. May remake this topic in the Gaming forum soon.



ME2 only confirmed for PS3

no ME1, how strange.

I got here first.

And yes, it is strange. They'll need some kind of solution for carrying data over into the second game, or decisions, or something - otherwise every PS3 owner is going to start the game off in a very crappy place. The default is all-renegade choices, so the Council is gone, you didn't help anyone in the past, Wrex is dead, on and on and on.

Maybe they'll just play it that way, though. Pretend ME2 is a standalone game.

I wonder what studio they contracted to develop the PS3 version?

Yeah that would suck cus I "saved" the council.

Maybe they will have a start up where you make choices....like a text screen just asking what you would do. That could be a solution

Guess we'll wait for journalists to INTERVIEW bioware cus I'm sure EVERYONE has this question on their mind....

Well apparently MS retains the rights to ME1, so there will be no ME1 on PS3. So basically PS3 owners are getting screwed.

As long as my ME1 choices carry over to ME3 as planned, I'm fine. If the ME1 decisions get marginalized. I'll highly pissed off.

There's almost no way ME3's incorporation will be hurt. All our decisions alreayd reflected in ME2, and the developers have said you'll see big effects reflected in the third game as a result of your decision over the entire series.

The PS3 version will not harm ME3 in any way. I guarantee.



I still have to play Overlord...but I guess this means no big expansion for ME2 ala DA huh...bummer, as I was hoping for one this winter, and there's no way Bioware would launch that, as they are launching the game for PS3 as it would only emphasize how ps3 owners are getting sloppy seconds.
