[754boy]

I got this game preordered so I'm not gonna dl it. EXTREMELY tempted to though!!!

 

[bodean]

So you did nothing special on your banned console to have your ME1 saved games appear? Odd.

Like not playing it early is gonna make a bit of difference. Sooner or later ban hammer will come for you. All the precautions in the world didn't save anyone last time, ooo don't play online early, don't play out of region games, verify with abgx blah...blah and end result, fuck all, all got banned anyway.

Yes it's pointless, I think that even with this new version of ixtreme ban hammer will strike again sooner or later, the only precaution is to not play games not officially released yet.

NO YOU ARE WRONG. My friend has had a modded xbox 360 since 2007 pro he didnt get banned and has never played a game unless it was verfity completely, also he never played wave 4 games ever in this xbox well because it had 1.4firmware so he couldnt.. He had a elite modded with 1.6 iexteme also he got it for christmas in 2008 played wave 4 games online i think teeken 6 was the last one he played. and got banned in the novemebr banwave. I had 2xboxes a 2007 pro with 1.51 iextreme and a 1.6 elite i got in august. I just got done playing dragon age orgins a wave 4 game. very next day i got banned. My pro got banned 12days later. There are people out there that did surive the banwave, but very few. I think it's all luck really.

Same here. Banned console, was able to use my save.
I am in love with this game.

I'm going to be up all night playing this.

What a shame. Wish I knew why my ME1 games are not showing on the import

So far I have played ME2 for about 5 hours and I already miss so much from ME1.
Here is a small list of things that really bother me:

I can't read any text on the menus, pickups, hacks etc. on my 42" SDTV. This wasn't a problem with ME1. I know this is a HD console with HD games but I don't see why the text is SO small.

The 'Equipment' tab on the pause menu is gone, the game uses like a loadout menu before missions, or you can use the armory on the ship, which is way smaller than before but is apparently a clone of the Normandy.
The whole upgrading weapons/armor and loot is integral to an RPG, for me at least; the new system is horrible.

You need to BUY FUEL to travel to further away systems!

You can melee with B (good luck ever using it lol) instead of holstering weapons (how do you holster!?).

Objective map markers have been removed, along with the mini map, instead you can click LS or RS to bring up a map.

Skill tree has like 5 traits..

Shepard's voice sounds strange, is it the same VA?

The Shepard regeneration BS at the very start of the game, sure I understand this is so that people who have not played ME1 can make the character how they want, but I think Bioware could have gone about this better.
The level is really well done and the cinematic is amazing but the overall premise is ridiculous.


Here is a list of changes I like:

Improved graphics/textures throughout... (reason for 2 discs?)

No elevators (so far).


Earlier this week I posted in a thread on this board about the game being 'stripped down' to which another user replied 'it isn't stripped down, it's streamlined'. I disagree and believe many fans will enjoy the game but like myself, miss the things that made ME1 such a great RPG experience.
I'm not sure whether this is a move by Bioware to attract a broader audience, or whether it is EA making cuts and pushing the release date, or something else altogether, I just hope it all comes back for ME3.

Please don't take this post as a bashing of the game, I am still enjoying it and will see it through to the end, I just wanted to see if anyone else felt some of the changes are questionable, and disappointing.

For now I am going back to ME1 for the save carry over.

Not everyone got banned you know. I had a liteon drive flashed with ixtreme 1.6 that wasn't banned. I did keep it offline as soon as the mass banning started. Recently updated it to the new LT firmware and have been on live after that, still not banned. It also passes the warranty check on the xbox website.

As of 4:44am and about 28hours of playtime, I completed my first playthrough of ME2.
And god damn what a rush towards the end.

 

[Sappoide]

Yes maybe we went a bit OT, but just say "stop the OT", it is not kind to shout the mouths like that (I'm referring to the moderator), well now let's stop the ot

 

[cthg]

If anyone was able to import there ME1 characters, let me know. On my banned console, I am able to play my ME1 with characters. But when I try to load them into ME2, nothing is found on the storage devices =(

I believe this is because with a banned xbox profiles and saves are corrupted except on the banned xbox. Since ME2 is looking at the savedata it sees it as corrupted and it doesn't show up.

It is possible to make it so this doesn't happen but it involves dumping your NAND with soldering...

pm me if you want to be pointed in the right direction to "uncripple" your xbox after a ban.

Guys this is a topic about Mass Effect 2 not getting banned on Live.
