New Mass Effect 2 Patch Available for Xbox 360

Explicit Gamer: "There is a new patch available for Mass Effect 2 on Xbox 360. While it is still unknown if the patch contains any actual game updates it has been confirmed that Zaeed is now available on the Cerberus Network."

[Myst]

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 :/

[Montrealien]

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!

[lsujester]

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

[GUCommander]

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.

[BLuKhaos]

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

[Myst]

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.

[GUCommander]

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

[MSpence516]

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.

[GUCommander]

@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.

[MSpence516]

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.

[GUCommander]

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

Good news?

[Godmars290]

Would be funny if this is anti-pirate virus.

[pimpmaster]

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.

[JudoChinX]

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

[-MD-]

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.

[Montrealien]

pimpmaster flaunting modded consoles and pirating...

*golfclap*

[GUCommander]

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.

[pimpmaster]

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

[TrevorPhillips]

I just picked up the game and I was wondering wat the patch was for? anyone know

[Bnet343]

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

"While it is still unknown if the patch contains any actual game updates it has been confirmed that Zaeed is now available on the Cerberus Network.""

[Typical-Guy]

Is this game really worth buying?
I really want it but I need to know if it's any good.

@Enjoi915111 I don't trust reviewers, I only trust real gamers.

thanks any way. I'm gonna get it.

[Enjoi915111]

have you not seen the 5/5 10/10 goty/goty articles on n4g the past couple days. its the hottest game out right now

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

yes it is worth it.....anyone who says it isnt is not a gamer.

[Enjoi915111]

but when 18 0ut of 20 reviewers give a game 10 out of 10. your pretty much set that's its a really really good game. but if you have the time and patience you should play mass effect 1 (still amazing but no where near ME2 lol) either way you have to get it. pc or 360 pppl need to play this game

[4Sh0w]

I would say definitely Yes, but honestly you should never ever base your opinion off of comments and opinions made on this site, its mostly full of biased gamers. I think reviews are pretty reliable as long as you dont take any 1 review too seriously. In the end if you want to be sure before you purchase then rent, playing a game for yourself is the only definitive way to know if you will like a game, of course if you have a good "eye" like I do, then I pretty much can tell from reading previews, waching vids and then reading reviews from a few sites I generally follow, I know most of the time whether I will like a game or not.

[NoOoB101]

Lol

Bubbles to you drop dead fred.
For the comment and awesome movie.

[N4GModsAreBallbags]

yawn

[N4GModsAreBallbags]

Hooray.

[ZombieRollz]

Buh buh but Mass Effect 2 is a 9.6 game with no imperfections.
