Is everyone who had clipping issues playing on the 360?

I played it on the PC and never got stuck in anything. I did have one Geth get embedded in a ceiling, but enough of him was visible that I was able to kill him. That's the only clipping I noticed in the game.

PC, but other than that it's been flawless.  Team AI is a bit dumb at times, but whatever.  They make good distractions and stay in safe places if you tell them to.

I'm on the 360. The other minor annoyance is that it restarts some major battles before the dialogue sequence if you're killed. So every time you die, you have to watch 3 minutes of cinematics before you can try the combat segment over again.

That's weird, because you can skip dialog and cutscenes on the PC version.

You can skip in segments...kinda like fast forward, but other portions aren't skippable. And if you had a dialogue exchange, you have to do it all over again.

Reminds me of another pet peeve...you have to go through sometimes laborious dialogue exchanges to use shops.

I'm nit-picking, I know.

There were some extra long RP sequences before some really hard fights in the first one.  Haven't run into that problem in ME2 yet.

I once got stuck on a blow-up-able tank and had to blow it up to unstick myself ^_^

I have all the upgrades I can get so far and a good 150k of each thing, except for element zero... so now, I still go and scan planets, but only quickly to see if there are anomalies or if the planet is rich or if it's heavy in element zero.  So I can go through a solar system in a good minute or two if nothing good comes up.

I'm too methodical. even when the planet is moderate or poor I still scan the whole damned thing.

I was playing a renegade play through and choose to kill Samara over Morinth, at the end of the game Morinth encourages you to mate with her suggesting I wouldn't die... or course, I can't resist having hawt lesbian sex and it was epic win... read the last paragraph.

Just saw a commercial for bioshock 2... my god why do so many great games have to come out right now? >_>  At least they are predominately single player

New free DLC is out today.

[jaypee]

oh so that's what the "New Content" was that the game mentioned when I booted it up last night.

I'll have to check it out.

[Christoffer]

Man, that DLC armor is fugly. But the shotgun seems pretty decent. Havn't tried it out yet.

I'm just going to say it, the main quest of mass effect 2 was simple and stupid.

Game is still awesome to play... but the story went from EPIC AWESOME in ME1 to boring and stupid in ME2.

I kind of agree. In ME1 you spent all your time trying to figure out this mysterious force threatening the universe and it comes to a close when you finally face down the threat. In ME2 you already know what the threat is and you end up spending most of your time recruiting people, which is kind of boring but it does actually make sense.
