Posted January 19, 2009 Finished my first playthrough of Mass Effect last night. Rather epic at the end. However, I didn't get teh achievements for the teammates I'd selected for the 'majority' of the game. There were two side-quests I didn't finish - one I couldn't, as it required going back to the citadel, and the otherone I just couldn't be arsed - Getting some info on a disc from Feros for some dude. Finished on level 50, so I'm playing through again on hardcore with the same character, and don't know whether I should just race through the story again or try and do everything again. Scouring the planets was getting a bit tiresome after my fifth 5-hour session. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got it on PS3 and found it one of the most frustrating games I've ever played. It just seems random. Controls, CPU performance, score. Random. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, the JSR court games are the worst. Where you have to perfect the tags. Jesus, it took me 30 minutes and i was swearing like crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 19, 2009 Yeah, the JSR court games are the worst. Where you have to perfect the tags. Jesus, it took me 30 minutes and i was swearing like crazy. That was virtually impossible. Especially as the yellow and green look exactly the same (to me). Still, the rest of the game was a lot of fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 20, 2009 Hmm problem. Tried setting up xbox live last night, ideally it should be relatively easy. But apprently my ''mtu'' levels aren't high enough? 1. What the heck is that? 2. Can it be sorted? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 20, 2009 Hmm problem. Tried setting up xbox live last night, ideally it should be relatively easy. But apprently my ''mtu'' levels aren't high enough? 1. What the heck is that? 2. Can it be sorted? It stands for Maximum Transmission Unit and, as the name implies, is the largest size (in bytes) that a data packet can be on that network. To get the most out of your bandwidth you want an MTU that's high but isn't too large for your connection to process smoothly; better to take bites than nibbles, but you don't want to choke. It can be sorted! How? Well, I started getting out of my depth with the food analogy. A quick Google says that the minimum MTU required by Live is 1364, but I'm not sure if you're actually able to change things at your end; I've no idea if you've access to your router, and it's possibly something that has to be handled by the university's ISP. That said I'm sure the campus staff can do something about it if you ask them, and I find it very unlikely that you're the only student that's ever wanted to get onto Live. So, my suggestion: complain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 20, 2009 University squats might have their own bitchin' systems that quash online gaming; they don't like the potential bandwidth hogging sadface! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 20, 2009 Mine were alright with it, just had to give them my mac address so they could let it through. Even better in Portsmouth uni; just plug in and play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 20, 2009 Gotta pay £20 to ask4 broadband to play Live in my halls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 20, 2009 My old halls let you unblock 10 ports or 5 ranges of ports (or any mix of the two) and that was your lot. Made PC gaming possible for most games if you planned a day or two ahead (the rounter rebooted at midday each day so you had to edit your port selections before then) but Live just didn't work. Daft thing was it was all done to stop people from torrenting. In the end all that happened was the guys in the Student Village used to bittorent 24/7 and then share it with the rest of the uni over the LAN (the SV was on the Uni network but each house also had a phone line and cable, pretty much everyone had private net connections).

Posted January 21, 2009 1600 Points? Daaaamn thats alot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 21, 2009 1600 points? hmmmm quite a bit :S Argh this is annoying me so much. I'm finding it bloody impossible to find a shop stocking Rock band 2 (with a guitar) for the 360. Don't think i've found one shop with it, which is frustrating because I want it over world tour because i know the RB instruments work on WT. Hmmm I assume world tour instruments work on RB though right? Looks like I might just have to buy that then... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 21, 2009 Rock Band 2 instruments still aren't out yet afaik. Pick up a Rock Band guitar on its own and the game separately. The only differences between the RB1 and RB2 guitars is the self calibration stuff on the guitar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 21, 2009 Just got Beautiful Katamari in the post (was £10 on Play)... All I can say after 15 minutes is wow. It's quirky, odd, yet fun. Hopefully it's not time consuming so I can get through it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 21, 2009 Mmm. 1600 points is a little steep. Will have to see reviews to ensure it's big enough to justify the cost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only differences between the RB1 and RB2 guitars is the self calibration stuff on the guitar. Oh right! Well went into Gamestation and they said they'd only recieved 3 copies of RB2 when it came out and haven't recieved stock since I'll order it off amazon though and then search around for the game. Cheers for that Jordan, the whole RB/GH thing is so confusing, argh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 21, 2009 Get World Tour, the guitar is a lot better! I prefer the game as well, but that's a matter of taste really. You can get RB2 later when the instruments launch (hopefully there'll be some sort of Mic, Drums + Game pack like there is in the US). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then when Guitar Hero metallica comes out i'll get that with a guitar! Sorted. Hmmm came across the Alan Wake trailer earlier..damn i realy hope we hear more about it soon. That and Splinter Cell were two of the reasons I really wanted to get a 360 in the first place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 21, 2009 They'd better turn out to be good, i've been waiting on them both for near 2 years! Anyone else think 2009 could turn out to be better than 2008? The high quality games sure are mounting up! http://hotukdeals.com/search.php?action=search&keywords=guitar+hero&category=&type=1 Can't believe how cheap these Guitars are becoming.
