do I need to play mass effect 1 first or can I get into mass effect 2 immediately?
I think she's just referring to the presence of the spiders and doesn't mean "messed up" as in "broken".

I'm half Mexican and don't know a lick of Spanish, probably my biggest shame. Really need to get back into it now, had bad luck in Jr High/High School as one teacher kicked me out and another was absent 75% of the time as her daughter lost her legs in a car accident. Haven't had that excuse for a few years now so I just need to get to it. Need foreign language credits anyway to transfer to UT.
My grandmother is fun to talk to sometimes as she'll randomly start speaking in rapid fire Spanish mid sentence and you have to calm her down a bit.

Potatoes grow in darkness. The root of all evil.
Also, anything I should know before starting up Bioshock? Going to play through all the games starting with the first one since I'm almost done exams.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
ME2 has some neat stuff that's affected by your ME1 saves. You can import pre-made ones off the internet to get what you want, but I'd kinda recommend playing ME1 for the full experience.
I don't really know how to speak to how well it's aged, since I remember it being a pretty rough when it came out.

Played it for the third time last year, still great.
Cool glad you got it working even if it was some strange weird jedi IT related mind trick!!!
oh yeah
paying money so i can get a certificate
no thank you
with 400 usd i can buy like so many things
.
added more spiders everywhere
well i would recommend that you do since it's pretty nice to see how everyone changes through the series and some repercussions pan out
also it's arguably the best of the three (tho i guess a case can be made for me2), so i don't think you wanna miss it
I will put it this way. Play ME1 if you want to get know characters, story and universe in general. But if you play ME1 there is chance that you won't like few things in ME2. For me ME1>ME2 (i still need to play ME3).
you should play System Shock 2 before, that's all you need to know
as for ME, of course it doesn't make sense to start from ME2.

Ooo, never knew it was by the same developer. Adding to my download queue.
Thanks for the tips! Hope I'll be able to finish it before anything comes up because I hate to take a break from a game for a while and come back to it, forgetting the story line and how to play.
probably not
i think you have to go to the keybindings menu to actually set the zoom key to something more comfortable like middle mouse button or something, cos it's mapped by default to z.
i think in bio 1 it's not even ironsights but it's pretty useful
i'd say try to read the least you can since the story in that game is really satisfying to experience for the first time
one thing i would say that it's a bit of a spoiler on how you get the different endings but imo doesn't really matter is:
when you're given the choice to save/kill the little sisters, just save them. the ending you get for killing them is dumb and makes no sense while the other one actually feels fitting and appropriate. you can kill a few afaik and still get it but still, just don't kill little girls

Has anyone played that online Shadowrun game that isn't the fps? Always weird to see it pop up here and there.
Meltdown already stated in Batman Arkham Knight Sys Requirements thread.

not again...
the same situation, only I bought mine recently, just couldn't afford any with more than 2GB, prices are beyond ridiculous, especially after Euro dropped like a rock.
Yes, please don't skip ME1. It's the best game in the series.
It has its problems, but the other 2 games didn't manage to capture the same feelings of adventure, exploration and epicness of the first game.
I really need to by new card even though i bought my GTX 760 last year XD But it is only 2GB version. But how can i buy new one when prices here at my place are ridiculous XD
The more you put off upgrading your GPU, the more Steam games you can buy.
it's not too long of a game
you can probably rush it in a weekend or something iirc
it hasn't aged all that well but i think it's a really cool game anyways
bio2 is a bit more playable and you might end up liking it more, but the shock (ugh) that was bioshock 1 in its story (
i know it's a repeat from ss2 but still so well delivered...
system shock 2 is awesome (when there are no spiders around) and it's crazy memorable in its own way but stylistically bio is just above most games ever
really really cool games all shock games (well haven't played ss1 but i guess it's pretty decent too...)

thanks for the suggestions guys
FFS, with all these games requiring more and more VRAM you would think nvidia/AMD would put more VRAM into their GPUs

It sort of is... but those fucking elevators.
Elevators > Loading screens in my opinion.
yeah like the grind of the elevators and driving that fucking mako around is pretty bad but it's imo the strongest rpg of the series, even if it's the worst shooter
they're both really annoying but at least loading screens don't have door opening/door closing animations that last as long as the real load
The 4gig or whatever card was actually only 20-30bucks more I think when I got my 2gig, but I remember people were telling me I'd never have to use more than 2gig so I thought I'd save the money to use on something else.
I love the elevators, getting in and out of the ship when on foot and generally having to walk where you need to go, instead of just selecting the corridor you want to be in.
ME3 and especially ME2 felt just like a collection of different areas, while ME1 felt like an interesting universe to explore.
Of course the elevator rides could have been shorter, but at least we got some little banters between the companions
they're both really annoying but at least loading screens don't have door opening/door closing animations that last as long as the real load
At least it doesn't break immersion. They could improve things for ME2 for example elevator talks between team members.
it doesn't do anything to my "immersion" specially when it's like a rpg full of like stats and menus and crap
it's cool in theory and i like the dialogue in the elevator rides but i would've loved to have a skip button

Happy Birthday! Surprised that we're pretty close in age.
not here, there are not many 4GB to choose from to begin with, I've seen only 2 and both are twice as expensive as any 2GB, well maybe not any, not that looked up every card.
I can't pay more than 400€ for a videocard, never could and probable never will be able. It just sucks that there are no older cards with 4GB on board.
edited: Happy birthday, fantomena
that's crazy =0
I still think I'm just going to roll with a 760 2gig for another 2 years though, it's not like I'm going to be playing everything day 1, and turning down texture quality or whatever probably isn't a big deal. I still would prefer spending a few hundred bucks on something else than a gpu

Maybe mentioned on the last three pages but before I forget there are still items using the old store system. For example http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/570/Genuine Free to Play Collector's Pack.
Cool, thanks for the reminder.
Oh Samsung.
i dunno about skip it, for all its shit me3 actually has cool conclusions to the stories of some of the characters that are unfortunately trapped in that disappointment of a game
just prepare yourself to be disappointed when you play me3

Even with the ending thought ME3 was better than 1.
well, that's nice piece of intel! Thanks for posting this.
edited: is there something a little cheaper? this particular pack isn't particularly useful, considering the price.

I feel really old all of a sudden.
Happy birthday, whipper-snapper!
ME1 was more clunky(on the 360 anyway) than ME2 but a really enjoyable experience.
I started ME2 straight after finishing it and although 2 is a much more polished game it didn't feel quite like the space opera experience that the first one did.
I've just picked up the triple pack from amazon so looking forward to having a less clunky PC ME1 experience.
Strangely enough it was playing (and not being able to put down till I'd finished it) Deus Ex HR that got me back to ME1 after getting about half way through it.

No need to be so extreme, simply shut off the game after you got on the Crucible and mind-canon the ending.
