*** Mass Effect 3 ***

Perhaps but it does kinda lend itself to the environments being designed to such a degree that it would make someone with OCD blush. You'll get chest high walls lined up neatly so you can roll from cover to cover. It is a pretty major restriction as far as environments go...

I don't really see it as much of a problem tbh. ME2 was little like that to some extent anyway, and the games before have hardly had great environments either.

Saying that, I went round a mates house the other night and we were all playing GOW3 (i never played it, was the usual madness!) and it was getting ridiculous seeing all the areas neatly set up:p


btw, I actually completed ME1 just now, breezed through Virmire, Ilos and the Citadel rally quickly. I left so many side quests undone:( but I just wanted to get through it tbh. For one, the inventory was doing my head in!

I might take my time a bit more in ME2

I think Jongo was saying he was crashing during it too. I'm going to attempt it next. I guess we'll see.

Will repost my previous post incase you missed it, as I fixed the issue.

For anyone who gets the issue I mentioned above, i found a way round it. There are 2 info pods you must go to for the mission. If you get CTD on one of them, go to the other one first. All was fine for me when I did that :)

Just had a good hour bash at it and I really like it. I find the voices slightly out of sync with the mouths though, anyone else got this? It feels just like ME2 but a little more refined. I think anyone wanting to play ME3 for the graphics has the wrong idea. Its in no way bad, but its not going to win awards.

They both have their fair share of mundane side quests. I will never play ME2 without using a save editor to give myself an excessively large quantity of minerals to avoid that ridiculous planet scanning too.

I might do that actually, as I am thinking about trying to keep everyone alive, so I will need to do all of the upgrades.

Now the fun part of trying to install of the dlc. I haven't tried yet but this is Origin so my hopes aren't high!

There were people on Bioware forums saying that Shepherd's face wouldn't import properly if the original design was done in ME1 and then imported into ME2 and then into 3.

Has anybody here noticed that?

Yes. Happened here. It was close, but still required 5-10mins of messing around to get it looking better.

And the ME2 face looks better than the one I have in ME3 after all that too.

ME was never about graphics, was it?

Of course not, but that is a bit of a kop out tbh. The textures in ME2 are unnecessarily bad and apparently 3 is not much better. bioware seem to care very little for graphics, which I find a little strange for a company who are all about immersion in their games.

I am not saying I particularly care about the graphics, but sometimes I find Bioware games a little too ugly when they really shouldn't be. An example would be from ME2, great facial animation on Anderson, but his uniform looks like it was coloured in with crayon!

Frankly, I think the immersion is just fine. Nice graphics are just icing on the cake. And the graphics are slightly improved over ME2 I think.

It's because they were made for consoles and ported to PCs. I'm not saying that as a PC fanboy, that's just the way it is with most games these days. You won't see massive texture improvement in multi-platform games until the next generation of consoles is released.
 
Actually, maybe they might release a high-res texture pack. I know there has been a call for one on the Bioware forums and they did do one for DA2! (yeah right, that is exactly what that game needed:p)
