AnCafe14 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Is it just me, or does it this game have alot of graphical issues on the PS3? My games skips alot, there are stupid weird glitchy things that happen, and sometimes (like the begining where shep and anderson are talking before the reapers attack) the graphics just look like shit. I don't know if i'm just playing to much in one sitting. I noticed multiplayer is fine, but the story mode is shaky. Don't get me wrong i'm enjoying the game, but it is preventing me from thinking this is a GREAT game like ME2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalboy921 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I have to agree to an extent. There were some areas in the beginning on earth that just looked really kinda bad, like the city not too far in the distance. The game sometimes seems to need a bit more sound effects too, especially in the cutscenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnCafe14 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 I've kinda noticed that the game plays better in the original armor. I was wearing the gamestop N7 Defender armor, but after switching the game seems to play a lil better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanH Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Problem is the game doesn't have installation to the HDD, which ME2 had. It would have helped so much with the framerate which is a nightmare especially the Kalros section. Ironically, the 360 version has an install option.

AnCafe14 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 I was thinking that. Can they patch that in, cause id gladly let it take some room in my hard drive to make the game look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felatio Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Any issues I've had are relatively minor. I love the game, the only thing I can think of that I liked better from ME2 was being able to mine for resources. It gave a reason to explore the galaxy. Now if it isn't Reaper controlled and doesn't have a mission there's no real point in going there which is a bit disappointing as the galactic exploration aspect is one of the many things that appeal to me with the franchise.

Sidar80 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I guess I got a good copy because aside from the game freezing twice in 40 hours which isn't nothing to complain about. The only real game play issue I've encountered is sometimes when I zoom with the sniper it will turn me sideways or completely around but that only happened about 3-4 times my entire play through.

HaoleDave Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) I noticed some glitches in conversations... (faces not looking at each other) Then there was that black out/no screen on Citadel D2.. Heard there were some glitches with side missions on Citadel like Aria: Eclipse and Hanar Embassy Edited March 11, 2012 by HaoleDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnCafe14 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Well like when you are riding in the Trucks on Tuchanka or however its spelled the framerate is terrible. I really think that is what i mean by saying it looks like shit. its just bothersome. Combat looks great, multiplayer is great, just the cutscenes are just subpar.

CoolMarquis97 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Another reason is that the PS3's memory isn't as great as the 360's so while some games are smooth on 360 that same game is laggy on PS3. Not trying to troll or anything as I am a HUGE ps3/sony fanboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunterelf Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 i have alot of choppyness in my game, always freezes for a sec when it loads. also the character's head sometimes may twist in an awkward pose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecto69 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 It keeps loading when walking back and forth on the Citadel, and it pauses each time. NOTE: PS3 has the same amount of RAM as Xbox however the memory architecture is different (PS3 256/256 split, Xbox 512 shared) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong i'm enjoying the game, but it is preventing me from thinking this is a GREAT game like ME2. hey, you know at first i totaly agreed with you, initialy i too (and still) found it to be 'skippy' and i was having a hard time deciding if i even thought this was half the game ME2 was, which was a 2011 top 5 for sure - for me. But like a lot of ps3 users (i presume) playing ME2 for the first time, having no concept of what ME1 was about (dispite the back story comic and referensing me1 a lot, i found i still never felt like i was totally in the loop). My first playthrough was all about learning about this new "mass effect", second playthrough i mainly tried just to make all different choices and go opposite karma rating cos i wanted to learn more about it. anyway, to cut it short, i went back and played ME2 again to change some of my decisions which previously i just went opposite just to see, i wanted it to be a true reflection of the choices i wanted to make... point is this, me3 actually is much, much better graphically and gameplay wise, its smoother, controls better. dont know why but i thought it was lagging to at first, but i think after so long since ME2 i became unfamiliar with it, but me3 is the bomb. http://www.yourgamercards.net/trophy/1200/thedarknessof66.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon_2535 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 What I experienced in my play-through: Frame rate isn't always stable. Cut-scene camera sometimes pans to where someone should be standing, but aren't. Character shadows sometimes disappear or snap to a certain position. I have quick freezes or hangs when walking around the Citadel or the Normandy. The characters sometimes wait a bit before saying their dialogue. Cinematic cut-scenes aren't stable at all. They stutter quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheViper561 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Yeah I kinda stopped playing the game for the past few days. With the annoying lagging in the Citadel and the blacking out while going to the docks is garbage. There are a lot of frame rate issues that cause to the game to stall which is stupid of bioware not to notice, OH I forgot its EA running the show now...not a surprise there...hope they get their act together and fix this piece of shit. Its like a really good game dropped the ball thanks to developing issues. http://www.yourgamercards.net/trophy/1173/X2AStrikeFreedom.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaD Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 The only thing that bugs me that I've noticed so far (other than minor skips every once in a while I don't really care about) is the slight static noise it gives off if you play with a headset. I've loved the new Sony wireless headset since I got it, but this is the only game that has a constant static sound as soon as it loads up. It's a minor nitpick but it made me think my headset was shot or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have the 360 version but can't play it because the optical drive of my 360 Slim crapped out and have to send to Microsoft for repair We might have lots of framerate issue, but from the 360 forums, the 360 gamers have to constantly swap discs like 4 times in a couple of hours.
