lots of people are reporting freezing with Mass Effect 2 on PS3

http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/292/index/5768874

of course this is just a theory, but do you think that because ME2 is using the ME3 engine on PS3 that it could be a beta test for ME3?

I've beat it once and Im on a second playthrough already. Its frozen once. Not a big deal. Does not hinder the amazing game experience at all and Im only 5 trophies away from plat. Maybe I should go outside for a bit?

i need to know where i pick up my check for being the chosen one.

i hardly ever seem to get these problems.i never had a prob with me2 and even new vegas ran like a champ for me.

activision needs to pay me to play blops on ps3 so my presence will make it work for the entire world.

Mass Effect 2 on 360 had a glitched Blu Suns Side mission (The one where you have to choose where to launch the missile at the end) that froze all 3 times I tried to complete it until I just gave up on it so, I'm not surprised.

You think an extra year in development would get rid of all these issues. I have never had it freeze on me, and I was playing the 360 version. The only problems I had were when you suddenry start walking in the air

Never had that problem. I'm assuming you installed it to your hard drive? if not that might fix the problem

Of course

While throwing PS3 owners a bone they're also doing the beta testing for 3

I don't install games on my 360 harddrive unless they're unplayable with freezing like I had to with Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope. I only encountered a glitch on that mission in ME2 everything else was fine except for some framerate issues every now and then.

I played SO4 without it installed and ran just fine. The Last Remnant however....

I own the PC version, played it through multiple times and no crashes, sucks for console owners I guess.

SO4 for me started freezing constantly every 20 - 30 minutes after the first 5 hours of gameplay I put into it. After installed it, that was no longer a problem though. I haven't played The Last Remnant but I hear it has alot of issues on the 360.

It's probably a system by system basis, I doubt everyone who has ME2 PS3 is experiencing this freezing.

I'm sure if you type in any game's title and freeze into Google it will look like an epidemic with every game.

Interesting. 2.5 playthroughs, zero freezes on my 360. 2 different models, fat for the first playthrough and a slim for the second and half playthrough.

I have both versions and I'm playing the PS3 version and have not had any freezing problems. I however ran into a few glitches and one freeze playing the 360 version. I was actually surprised at how well the ME2 ran on 360 compared to ME1 which was a moderate glitchfest

I'm just happy to have ME2 and ME3 on the PS3, the fact that I can enjoy the game with a whisper quiet console compared to my loud 360 is a godsend.

XBOXSTRONG

Played the hour-long trial of ME2 last night. If it's using the ME3 engine, then ME3 is going to look like crap on PS3. Just saying.

Having said that, it didn't freeze on me. It went hella-slow a few times though.

I suspect that ME3 will look much better than 2. Remember there is still almost a year until ME3 comes out, and that's assuming it doesn't get delayed.
