You know, when I posted that photo, I knew someone would ask where the hovis was :p

Thats alright then :) I thought it was something like messing up an order by posting it late or something.

Nah, they're generally perfect and I always get things next day from them - Like I said, kinda trivial really :p

Drat. I just realised. I won't get access to any of that Cerberus DLC stuff with a rental copy, will I? :(

Not unless you spend 1200 MS Points to buy your access.



I didn't get in very far before I had to leave for work but I'm very impressed with what I've played so far, really looking forward to getting back home and playing some more :)

So far no noticeable texture popup associated with the U3 engine, thanks to a hard disk install. Cut scenes look great as usual, lack of AA is very apparent but not noticeable at a distance from your screen.

Just running around the Citadel atm, seems easier to navigate around there than before.
 
Well thats just ****** great, payment declined, I'm really peeved now, the one game I get excited about and I don't get it on release :mad:
 
Well the games good, but I just lost the first 3 hours because me xbox crashed after I died. Im so ****ed off right now :( I scanned the first 3 planets for mining stuff which took me probably about 45 minutes alone! :mad:
 
Well mine was dispatched today at half three, so it should get here tomorrow. Only problem is the parents in law are moving tomorrow and staying with us all weekend! Gonna have to do some late nighters when everyone's asleep.
 
mines been dispatched now, though ive just now realised that its going to my home address and not my uni one :( so will have to wait a while for my parents to post it over here lol.
 
Hhmmmmm think I might of made a mistake starting as an infultraitor, cloak lasts for 5 seconds and I really want to be able to use an assault rifle :(

It does auto save, you can't have lost everything? Unless of course you turned auto save off and never made a manual save?

Yup, I did infact lose everything! :( I didnt create a manual save from which to load it. I just used the Auto save, and seeing as it was my first go, when it crashed it lost the auto save. I rebooted the xbox and loaded the game and there was no option to load! :O

Was a bit gutted but have just rushed through to where I left off, and am getting more out of it now :)

Fantastic game, the combat is a million times better I think. Nice weapon sounds and effects, lot easier to use the biotics and stuff too.

Loving it :)

EDIT: and the galaxy map music is still freaking awesome

EDIT 2: and the manual smells fantastic :P

No probs. I went for max achievements in ME1 so it listed all 10 of my old characters lol. They imported across fine, it even gives you a summary of the key plot decisions that you made with your chosen savegame.
 
Tis epic! Im only 4hours in and so far i havent touched a main mission other than the first two mandatory ones, ive just done side quests and spoke to people! Think their will be another long or longer session on this tonight
 
Im on my 2nd play though :)

this game is indeed EPIC, no wonder it gets very high reviews
from the over the sholder gun fighting to the spectacular CGI aswell as in game graphics, this game out shines even crysis in teh graphics department well i think so anyway.
it also runs so god dam smooth its unreal

you guys should check out the CGI video if you leave the game after it loads up on the menu where is says press any key you will see a very cool CGI video :)

graphics like this cant get anymore epic imho for a RPG that is.

btw what renderer is this game useing DX9 ? dx10.1 ? dx11 ?
i get the funny feeling this game is running your bog standard dx9.oc .
