MASS EFFECT TWO: GIVE GARRUS A HUG - Page 42

Sithdarth · 02-14-2010, 01:53 AM

The little bit I played before I decided I wanted a maxed out ME1 save brought me into contact with the Illusive Man and his ability to smoke a cigarette through his chin. Like he'd put it to his lips and then move his head and the cigarette would just stay were it was generally taking a detour through his cheek and then down to his chin.

What the fuck how would I miss that.

They... glow...

Its probably more noticeable on the 360 than the PC, I assume you are playing on a PC. In general the cigarette had a horrible habit of sinking halfway into whatever it was put on. This oddly did not extend to the Illusive Man where it simply stuck to his chin with filter and all showing. Apparently the Xbox just can't handle things that small.

I'm playing on x-box.... for now... and his cigarette looks fine to me.

Also, Azisien, you like scanning and liked the absolutely terrible inventory system in ME1.

I'm revoking your game reviewing license.

Yeah, the cig moves fine on the 360, Never noticed it doing anything odd other then maintaining a pointy tip constantly

It might just be my Xbox. It has a tendency to be asinine. Like recently it's decided to take like 10 seconds or more to fully load textures so Turian faces are big blurs for the first few seconds of conversation. Also earlier today while taking the tram to the hot labs on Noveria it decided I didn't deserve to ride in the tram and spawned me halfway through the roof. It then decided that was silly and kicked me up onto the roof where I was promptly stuck between two beams.

I'm halfway convinced that the game randomly introduces harmless (and not-so-harmless) "bugs" into each new game. I'm playing as an Adept now and my biotic powers keep rapidly changing direction on the way down, which looks stupid (since the tail shifts left and right about 10 times per second) but doesn't affect the game. My housemate has never encountered this, but he keeps running into enemies that scream constantly after he uses a single ability on them.

BTW Sithdarth: The original Mass Effect (which I think you must be talking about since you mentioned Noveria) had a bunch of texture pop-in issues so it isn't just your xbox. In addition to that, I kept having the issue in my "canon" playthrough (the one I brought to ME2) where Shepard would get trapped inside the railing next to the Galaxy Map. I forget how I solved the issue.

I'm not sure 100% but I think he said that it had some serious problems but he isn't sure if he liked the ME2 streamlined inventory/upgrades or the ME1 illusion of choices more, problems notwithstanding.

Also also scanning on PC is far less fingernail-tearingly painful.
