Ah cool, I was wondering what the patch was for when I downloaded it this morning. Need to download Zaeed and even that Normandy crash site one.

Wish they'd patch those horrible textures - they're beginning to be a distraction, I just can't stop staring at them and thinking of PC games circa 1998 :/

Montrealien5962d ago (Edited 5962d ago )

these are 98 textures ryuzu...

yeah, fail.

I am actually happy I can appreciate the evolution of graphics since I actually saw it all first hand. To bad kids these days are so spoiled.

With that said, yay for the patch, I want Zaeed!

lsujester5962d ago

Yeah, that looks about the same as ME2. LOL JK

GUCommander5962d ago

I personally haven't noticed any bad textures. Can someone give me an example?

I have noticed that at the very beginning of some cutscenes the textures will be low-res while it is still loading the hi-res textures.

BLuKhaos5961d ago

Blame that piece of sh@t Unreal Engine, it's not the console's fault just the engine.

Myst5961d ago

Officially 12 hours into my play through and haven't really noticed anything bad. Then again I've been playing on an SDTV ( all I have now ) and straining my eyes. When I move to the HDTV one I'd probably see something, but due to the massive amount of things/energy going on in a fight I'd think anyone would hardly notice unless your pausing every few seconds.

If not in a fight, I don't know. I still rarely notice it, seems to be rather seamless in loading things ( from my perspective ), but as I said I'm still on an SDTV until Friday.

@Montrealien: Holy crap! Carmageddon 2! I loved that game.

I still need to buy the Cerberus Network... :-P

MSpence5165962d ago

It came free with a PURCHASED retail copy of the game. That means you rented it, borrowed from a friend, stole the disks(I used to do this when I was in high school) out of the case or you're a dirty dirty pirate.

GUCommander5962d ago

@MSpence516 lol calm down there you feisty little boy.

Due to my excitement of the game, I completely ignored everything except the first disk. Earlier today I actually looked at everything in my game box and I found my code. Now I have the network, wohoo.

MSpence5165962d ago

ok, returning to normal cranial flow. Everything appears to be fine now.

I didn't mean to come off like that, but I guess you wouldn't know that without my tone or body language.

GUCommander5962d ago (Edited 5962d ago )

It's quite alright. The typical member of N4G is either a fanboy or a raging lunatic (actually...there isn't a difference between the two). So I must respond accordingly :-P

Would be funny if this is anti-pirate virus.

pimpmaster5962d ago

what good would that do, my modded 360 is banned. i also could of bought this game legit but SP only game isnt worth it.

JudoChinX5962d ago

It would be worth it if you wanted to see a Mass Effect 3, no?

-MD-5962d ago

I agree that most SP only games aren't worth it but a handful are. FFXIII for example, are you really gonna finish that game in one rental? I've read it's 60 hours long.

This game has great replay value from what I hear, hell I had friends that beat the first Mass Effect like 6 times.

Montrealien5962d ago (Edited 5962d ago )

pimpmaster flaunting modded consoles and pirating...

*golfclap*

GUCommander5962d ago

Typically i'd agree with you. I only buy multiplayer games for the most part. With gamefly around, there are very few singleplayer games that I would buy. Any BioWare game, Elder Scrolls, and Final Fantasy are the only single player only games that I buy.

I played Mass Effect four times and I plan on playing Mass Effect 2 more than once as well. Most BioWare games have excellent replay value because of their length and wide array of side missions.

pimpmaster5961d ago (Edited 5961d ago )

whats wrong with pirating, pretty much even MS allows it , all they do if they find out your doing it is ban your console from live, its just a slap on the wrist really. im enjoying tons of games right now, i have another 360 just for buying only the must haves which have online to play with friends, the rest i get on my banned 360

Bnet3435962d ago

Not trying to be a d*ck, but it helps if you read:

IAMRealHooman532d ago

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast532d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine532d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast532d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman532d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast531d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman531d ago

it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave780d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan780d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave780d ago (Edited 780d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
