Forums - Sony - Mass effect 2 looks much better on PS3(video comparison inside)

myabsolution on 20 December 2010

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?

So, what you trying to convince everyone about is that PS3 owners have no right to be happy about their Mass Effect Version?



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

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?

ME2 on the PS3 is the same as the 360 version. When you import the save file in the 360 ver, it acts as the decisions you took in the ME comic in the PS3 ver.

"how will this have any bearing on ME2"

Right there you concede that you didn't understand joystiq quote.

That is referencing a quest which is in ME1. The fan (a fan of shepard) only reappears in certain instances in ME2 depending on what you did in ME1. Similarly other characters return or do not return depending on what you did in the first game, there are many instances of this, joystiq referenced ONE of them. Certain quests are available or arent available depending on tons of small decisions made in the first game... you say "oh but the comic has the decisions you make..  Joystiq said there was NO OPTION as to what decision was made in terms of the fan quest for the comic. So I think it is safe to assume that some of the lesser quests might not appear. The bearing it ultimately has is that tons of minor quests/characters may or may not resurface in the PS3 version. That is likely.

No offense, but do you jump into every debate without even knowing the source material? Has anyone here actually even played the games?

@mantlepiecek

Some of the decisions made in ME1, actually, a lot of them.. are NOT in the comic. NOT. Joystiq confirmed this. But you probably skim read and missed that tidbit of info.



d21lewis on 21 December 2010

^^^^I'm laughing my ass off because myabsolution keeps saying the same thing and everybody keeps ignoring him!!  It's halarious!!  Anyway, there are some choices that we get to make in ME1 that make you say "Holy shit!  I didn't even think that was something important!" when you see that your choice is reflected in ME2.  Still, I don't think those choices will be something that PS3 owners are going to miss because they'll still get the gist of the story and what they don't know won't hurt them.  It's like missing a great episode of a TV show you never heard of.  It's no big loss because you never knew it existed.

Virtually everything I have asked and stated are with reason.  I NEVER claimed I knew something that I didn't because, again, I used words such as "potential" giving the possibility that I'm wrong.  With that being said, I really appreciated your specific example above.  I just wished you had been a little more specific earlier to clarify the matter.  Therefore, I take back my accusation of calling you a troll, and I apologize for coming off as an ass.  There was no ill intent.  So we'll know far better the results of ME2 when the game actually comes out.  Thanks.

Well, Joystiq got a hands-on time with the interactive comic that supposedly lets you make decisions. And like I suspected, it does NOT allow you to make all the minor decisions. You may have thought I was trolling you or something, but I have played both games for hundreds of hours and was not kidding when I meant you are missing out on hundreds of little tidbits that follow you from ME1 to ME2 that make the experience richer.

"I would've loved to see some of the less crucial decisions make an appearance in the story, as they add so much "flavor" to the Mass Effect universe. For example, what would you do to a fan that seemed a bit too obsessed with you?" - Joystiq

The definitive version cant be the one with less content.

sooooo...your saying me1 me2 x360 > me2 ps3?

if we were to just play me2 and only me2 for both consoles without and i repeat without me1, which would have more content?
