My PC could run this just fine, but I prefer console gaming. I like sitting on my couch playing on my 50" HDTV instead of sitting at my desk playing on a 21" screen, better graphics or not. That's just me though.
@rpe33 you definitely don't know about PC. You can use an HDTV as a monitor and have an Xbox360 controller and you can sit on your couch with your games and windows OS.
I have a Radeon X1900 GT and an extremely powerful processor, with Windows XP. I want to be able to play Mass Effect 2 with anti aliasing, but that is not a graphics option. I want to know how to access the control panel on my graphics card to force anti aliasing (poor anti aliasing is one of my pet peeves). Please respond if you know what to do. Thanks.
This argument must have been a long time ago considering I don't even know which comment you're referring to and I don't remember the video at all. It sounds like a pointless console war, to which my answer is it doesn't matter. I prefer PC over all consoles, but that's my opinion. You can have your opinion too, but honestly, I don't give a shit.
@Mog087 If you said so, i ll have to believe you. But if they are on consoles, they are not a pc exclusive. And those 2 are on consoles. The only recent game in years i know is a pcexclusive and i´d like to play is the witcher 2 and half of pc users they´ll have to change their card to play it. Most of games today are multiplatform, it´s quite logical. Even mass effect 2 looked very similar in pc and xbox360, same textures, no antialising, this guy had to rename files and tweak things to get AA.
@ResidentRetro Agree. That´s a game that made me feel i m missing something, but again i can´t spend in a super pc now just for 2 or 3 games i´m interested.
Hey everybody! I have released my new album 'Progenitor' which has electronic music inspired by great games such as Mass Effect. You can check it out and download it for free on my youtube channel if you're interested!
you'd best be joking, kid. all games are made on pc. bf3 and skyrim are releasing on consoles and pc at the same time. they're fucking multiplatform. go back to elementary school and learn what exclusive means. fucking moron...
lol if you want to play console games on pc and make it look "10 times better", you'll have to pay "10 times" more than what i paid for my console. also, i don't really give a fuck how much money you could throw away to make games look better, if it has no exclusives, then it's a dead platform. there are no noteworthy pc exclusives coming out this year.
@ResistanceForever Unfortunately for pc players is true. It is a dead platform for many reasons, probably piracy the main one. Crytek was so pissed off with the leaked alpha of crysis that they developed crysis 2 for consoles, they thought to not publish the game on pc, they finally did it and,,,another alpha leak on to the net months before release. The industry is heading clearly to console gaming. And about look 10 times better, that´s not true. They look a bit better for the trained eye.
I was a PC gamer for the most part until I bought a 360 in about 06 or 07. I haven't really delved back into PC gaming much (other than buying SC2 and Metro 2033) but this shit would be awesome as long as you hooked it up to at least a 40"+ TV. I have a 22" 1080p monitor for PC gaming but it just doesn't do games justice.
@Ponimaju That´s what i allways say, the level of inmersion you get with console-wireless controller-playing comfy on your sofa-home theatre-and 40" hd tv....you won´t get that on a pc, even if graphics are better.
@Ponimaju sorry i forgot to mention one game, if you like Bioware games....Dragon age! that one is worthy buyin it again for the pc even if you played on console.
Should I get Mass Effect 2 for PC? I already have it on Xbox 360 along with my Mass Effect 1 import and if I want to play it on PC I have to buy a new graphics card and RAM and I can really only get Mass Effect 2 for PC.
@soldierassasin Nah, mass effect 2 is a multiplatform game...you won´t get better textures or antialiasing unless you tweak the game...plus i loved how it plays on the controller. If it was another game i would say...yes. I ´m sure Batttlefield 3 is gonna look better on PC.
@ResistanceForever are you fucking retarded? go take a look at Steam and say that again. Excluding console EXCLUSIVE games (aka Infamous, Uncharted, ect.), PCs can play any game that a console can and then some.

@ResistanceForever Even if that were true, which it is not, you forgot the part where PC gaming is > Console gaming. Trust me, being a console gamer, I know.
Damn PC's... Being expensive... I'll get you one day!!!
@ResistanceForever The Witcher 2, Minecraft, Shogun 2, Star Wars old republic and Diablo III are all high profile games WELL worth mentioning. How many exclusives is Xbox getting? Enjoy Gears of War 3 and... oh wait that's it. Wii is no better. You get Zelda and... that's it. Only PS3 has decent exclusives.
@ResistanceForever Well at least the pc has real games, not those newb streamlined titles like on the consoles. Have fun with your halo and cod12 lolololol
well my laptop is average but i find it's still more powerful than current gen consoles, so games like this, that were developed on consoles 1st tend to run awesome on it... ;)
only thing pc version had different was more complex lightning and for me the story is more important than gfx, for example the dragon age origins wasn't best graphically but it was the best medieval rpg after the baldur's gate II
the 360 version on a proper hd tv in 1080 looks 90 percent identical. and i would say the same if you haven`t spent enough on a machine to be aqble use aa/16 aniso.
honestly this lks the same as the 360..... you guys can argue about it all day but thats just my opinion...im a pc and a console gamer so i get best of both worlds anyway :D
Uploader mentioned running AA with nVidia graphics cards, but I take it it should be possible with ATi Radeon cards as well?
Also if anyone could maybe provide a link how to properly do it I'd very much appreciate it. I've heard you could use AA on ME2 but never bothered finding out how to do it, but it definitely does look much better. I know I have the rig to do it, I just want to do it now. My eyes need to orgasm some more.
I agree, the best quality is on PC, but X360 has nice graphics too (i've x360). But when i saw Mass Effect 2 on PC i've to say : PC kicks ass of all consoles (PS3 too).
Ok i have a ATI HD 4870 graphics card, 2gb ram and an amd athlon ll processor, so nothing fancy im running on max settings with a 32 bit OS and it is smooth it doesn't take much to run this game ok? lol. In other words you don't need to spend $1000 to play this game on max settings just about $500. I knew nothing about building computers and i put this thing together in a couple nights. just look up computer building guides on the internet there all over.
will someone help me out i have 1 1000 dollar budget and im looking to buy gaming pc laptop alienware is out the picture im gonna buy either an dell m1730 with 8800m sli ,an toshiba 18.4 qosmio with gts 360m or sager 8700m gt, or asus g71 260m,
m1730-790
qosmio-960
sager-400
asus-899
which should i buy and why?
also email me at amarioell@yahoo.com bcuz im kinda close to buying
@OmglolNarutorules You should be able to get acceptable fps if the rest of your system is up to par -- far more than just the GPU matters. Fiddle with the settings, measure FPS with FRAPS -- that's what PC gaming is about. :)
This game is one of the best games i have played, ever...
Ah, man, hope to see you around in a close future, i bet you are a busy person, but if you ever find some free time in your free time, i know there are other sites where you can find help and tweaks, but sometimes you get to know a site and feel certain trust to it...
i was expecting this game to thrash my pc to its limits but its optimized brilliantly with windows 7 64bit . quad q8200 2.33ghz , 4gb ram @1066mhz and 2x9800gt's sli'd runs with 80+fps on my machine...so glad they sent me a second 9800 by accident XD
If you can run Mass Effect decently, you should be able to run Mass Effect 2. (in fact, it performs better than ME1 if you ask me) Do bring at least a good dual core CPU though and a decent graphics card.
Just got the game myself, and even though some of the gameplay changes are a little questionable in my view (I did prefer the thermal system in the first game over the thermal clip system in this game, for example) I'd say so far it's at least as good as Mass Effect 1 overall. And I lost myself on ME, I'll tell you that much.
Not like he can, that's for damn sure, lol. I think you're gonna wanna upgrade from that 9600GT to a GTX260 216-core if you can afford it, that's probably one of the best upgrades I've ever done, there's a reason those cards cost so much.
@bethbearmacethatguy it doesnt take a high end gaming pc. get a hd 5770 combined with an athlon ii x4 would be perfect to run this game with a budget of like 800 dollars. just sell your xbox and all your games. and your old pc you should have enough but i still dont have one tho lol
@bethbearmacethatguy you dont even need anything near high-end to play mass effect 2 on maximum settings, i can play it on my GTS 250 (like 130$ only) maxed out.
@ciobanica Indeed, I bought an HP mid tower for $450 AMD Anthlon II 3.0 ghz quad core (pretty good for it's price), 6GB of Ram, some very obscure motherboard (Narra 6 I think), and changed the Power supply (500W) & Graphics card to a ATI Radeon HD 6570 2 GB DDR3. The game runs at 60 fps or higher on 1080p with all the settings notched up to the limit. The game also runs decently on my 2009 256mb GeForce macbook pro (with Windows 7 installed) Although at a lower resolution and settings. But Still
Same game, so of course it would work. Although to be honest all you need to tweak is the trilinear filter. You can easily adjust AF in the ME2 Configuration Utility.
I have a Core 2 Quad Q6600 and a 9800GTX. I can run the game at max. My monitor native resolution is at 1920x1200, I playe ME2 on 60 frames all the time.
I plan to mess with the gamersettings later.
Just a question at 1920x1200 resolution do you really need that much AA or do you just prefer it?
The textures on the faces look really good, can't really compare the graphics to Crysis as Crysis has fully interactive environments and full on physics so it would be like comparing COD 4's graphics to Crysis- they both look very good but Crysis obviously needs a lot more power.
The game developers still need to work on the lip synching though, hasn't changed much since the 90's lol if they could perfect that than matched with the graphics it would look very realistic
Mark Meer (the male Shepard) has improved in this game (was really monotonous in ME1), but yeah, Jennifer Hale does a much better job. And yeah, this game is an improvement over the original in almost every way. Better voice acting, graphics even more beautiful, and the gameplay is better too. Can't wait for ME3...
i played it also; but i did it with a girl character; i don't understand why most guys play it with male characters.. I mean I like women, why would I want to see a man's ass in front of me while I play? :))
Very very close minded opinion...especially since the female Shepard has NO ass...but Miranda I always die when I have her in my squad. That ass is amazing
still it's better than seeing a NO ass from a guy.. the voice of the female character is nice.. and even if you say it has no ass, I like the way she speaks, and her face.. and so on :)
Not artifacts, just some repeated micro stutterings of half a second when I'm walking on certain places like the club where you first go to talk with Aria, i don't remember the name right now, I just started to play the game few days ago.
makes me wish i owned a powerful pc.

I knew nothing about building computers and i put this thing together in a couple nights. just look up computer building guides on the internet there all over.

@OmglolNarutorules You should be able to get acceptable fps if the rest of your system is up to par -- far more than just the GPU matters. Fiddle with the settings, measure FPS with FRAPS -- that's what PC gaming is about. :)

@OmglolNarutorules I think a 7800 should be able to handle most of this game, though theirs no way you're gonna be able to run decent anti aliasing.

Anyway I can add AA for ATi cards? Or will renaming the executable to UT3 allow me to force AA in CCC still?
I get constant 60 frames (locked at 60) so I'm happy to put AA on.

sheogorath19 2 years ago
If you can run Mass Effect decently, you should be able to run Mass Effect 2. (in fact, it performs better than ME1 if you ask me) Do bring at least a good dual core CPU though and a decent graphics card.

sheogorath19 2 years ago
Just got the game myself, and even though some of the gameplay changes are a little questionable in my view (I did prefer the thermal system in the first game over the thermal clip system in this game, for example) I'd say so far it's at least as good as Mass Effect 1 overall. And I lost myself on ME, I'll tell you that much.

Maxed out settings (with no AA) for sure at resolutions like 1440x900 and 1280x1024, 1680x1050 may be playable, too.

Not like he can, that's for damn sure, lol. I think you're gonna wanna upgrade from that 9600GT to a GTX260 216-core if you can afford it, that's probably one of the best upgrades I've ever done, there's a reason those cards cost so much.

@bethbearmacethatguy it doesnt take a high end gaming pc. get a hd 5770 combined with an athlon ii x4 would be perfect to run this game with a budget of like 800 dollars. just sell your xbox and all your games. and your old pc you should have enough but i still dont have one tho lol

Yep, game is already over a year old so.
My €300 PC runs on max, although not with highest resolution and aa filtering but graphics look almost identical to this.
This just looks a little bit "softer" thanks to higher res and filtering.

@ciobanica Indeed, I bought an HP mid tower for $450 AMD Anthlon II 3.0 ghz quad core (pretty good for it's price), 6GB of Ram, some very obscure motherboard (Narra 6 I think), and changed the Power supply (500W) & Graphics card to a ATI Radeon HD 6570 2 GB DDR3. The game runs at 60 fps or higher on 1080p with all the settings notched up to the limit. The game also runs decently on my 2009 256mb GeForce macbook pro (with Windows 7 installed) Although at a lower resolution and settings. But Still

Same game, so of course it would work. Although to be honest all you need to tweak is the trilinear filter. You can easily adjust AF in the ME2 Configuration Utility.

I have a Core 2 Quad Q6600 and a 9800GTX. I can run the game at max. My monitor native resolution is at 1920x1200, I playe ME2 on 60 frames all the time.
I plan to mess with the gamersettings later.
Just a question at 1920x1200 resolution do you really need that much AA or do you just prefer it?

The textures on the faces look really good, can't really compare the graphics to Crysis as Crysis has fully interactive environments and full on physics so it would be like comparing COD 4's graphics to Crysis- they both look very good but Crysis obviously needs a lot more power.
The game developers still need to work on the lip synching though, hasn't changed much since the 90's lol if they could perfect that than matched with the graphics it would look very realistic

Mark Meer (the male Shepard) has improved in this game (was really monotonous in ME1), but yeah, Jennifer Hale does a much better job. And yeah, this game is an improvement over the original in almost every way. Better voice acting, graphics even more beautiful, and the gameplay is better too. Can't wait for ME3...
