Mass Effect 2 - Graphics King Fail

I just watched some Mass Effect 2 gameplay right now and noticed that the enemies and your partners don't even have self shadowing. So did they really have sacrifice self shadowing just so the 360 can keep a decent 30 frames per second? I mean this game IS on the super ultra powerful 360 right? Then how come they have to sacrifice self shadowing just so the game can keep the framerate locked at 30? I mean Killzone 2 had tons of lighting & self shadows running in real time and the game runs at 30fps......Not to mention UC2

LOL and some people were saying this game is on par with Uncharted 2 in terms of Graphics lol. Advice, to qualify as a Graphics King runner up against Uncharted 2, you must first need self shadowing......If you don't even have self shadowing, then you should try competing against the Wii's Graphics.

Graphical Hype Fail

There is a sticky at the top for your convenience if you want to talk about this game.

who said graphics king, proof?

better game than KZ2 overall, at least.

Halo Reach could be CE all over again and still be great:roll:

Get over your graphics-only phase.

still no proof, though. Heard it many times vs. me never seeing it, a stand still.

Now if you're talking GOTY, plenty.

I'm sorry but if a system can't handle self shadowing at 30fps, it must be weak

Can't handle the Truth?

Even the PS2 can handle self shadowing at 30fps

cant handle reading the rules of this message board? there is a sticky on anything mass effect related at the very top junior

Ok well does it have no Self Shadowing, or does it have some but its poorly implemented, make up your mind.

If a system can't handle a game and needs mandatory installs after each section, it is OBVIOUSLY weak:roll:

Wow, this managed this long without a lock?

So they had enough framerates left to self shadow the main character.

But left all others without a shadow? Even last Gen platforms can handle self shadowing at 30fps

give him credit, he makes ME2 actually look like an exclusive.

Keep digging, you're amusing a good many people.

reading comprehension says: person A, he never said exclusive,

and obviously TC has no PC to play this game, otherwise he wouldn't bash it.

I'd rather play a good multiplat game than a crappy exclusive.

Sorry about the delay on that one. He'll be taking a little vacation now.
