Mass Effect Reaches 2 discs

[Edgedancer]

From Kotaku:

The sheer number of foxy blue alien women in Mass Effect 2 has pushed the limits of the DVD format’s storage capabilities. As a result, BioWare is spreading the Xbox 360 and PC game across two discs.

While that won’t mean that much to owners of the PC version—it’s a two-disc install—poor Xbox 360 owners will suffer the galactic inconvenience of a disc swap at some point. Chris Priestly, community coordinator of BioWare, says it’s not so bad.

“Even though there is a disc swap, it occurs at a carefully planned place in the game (that does not interfere with gameplay) and is done once,” Priestly wrote on the Mass Effect 2 forums. “You do not swap back and forth. 1 swap and then done.”

...I just burned my next to last disc on that shump thinking nothing else would need the disc until ME2.
Wow I'm depressed as hell now. Thanks a lot.

I mean yay that obviously means the game's big as hell but still....dammit.

Eh. I am going to play it on the 360 and I dont care about disk swapping. I would rather they did that than scale down the game. Plus, I don't see why people hate doing that. I have had to do that with Lost Odyssey, Star Ocean 4, Baten Kaitos and Resident Evil 4 and believe it or not, I couldn't care less. Some people act llike it is the devil incarnate.

No sweat, had tons of games like that on the PC already.
Wouldn't mind doing it on the 360 either, no biggy.

swapping is not tht bad esp since the most famous PS game had 2 swaps ( disc 2 and 3... no need to mention the game)

Indeed, I don't hear anyone bitching about that or its sequels... Must be just XBOX hatred then.
