I admit that I'm surprised such is the case, but at the same time I am happy it will be an even bigger game than ME 1. Not going to hamper my enjoyment a bit. In fact, I am even more excited.

I wonder what they have on the discs. Dragon Age was 1, Oblivion (despite much recycling) was 1, Fallout 3 was 1. Crysis, installed is still 1. Game must have a lot of dialogue or cinematic. Hopefully this implies that there will be minimal to no recycling, less of that twin brother, twin sister npc effect, and that the campaign itself will provide a whole new meaning to epic....

Oblivion, like you said, was one disc due to heavy recycling. Fallout 3 is one disc again due to a fair amount of recycling and disguising the fact that not much of the game map has unique points of interest. Crysis's levels are big, but there aren't really that many of them, plus there's limited dialog.

[QUOTE="iwasgood2u"][QUOTE="Spanks113"]

Who cares I like this game even more now that I know it is so huge it cannot fit on one disc

hey doesn't this obviously tell ya it's better not to buy the 360 version? It's better on the pc n meant for it. Mass effect 2 would have been better off for the ps3 becuz u would get the ultimate experience.... Uncompressed sounds n more contents .... Shoot bluray can even fit mass effect 1 on the sequal disc.

The PS3 ain't getting ME2 or ME1, and even if, it would most likely be an inferior port as always.

I'd buy it anyway, though. I mean, inferior ports are usually so minimally inferior that they hardly even deserve the word "inferior" tacked in front of them.

I would much rather it was on one disk and I dare say Bioware would as well.

Who cares how many disk... On PC, nobody will care, since it's installed on the HDD... As for the 360, Hope people have a reasonable HDD to instal it... would be awesome if you could get rid of the swapping by installing, and getting faster loading time...

AS for those who say blu ray is needed... HELL NO... Screw the slow read speed. There a reason why so many ps3 games have mandatory installs.

Yes, waiting 10 seconds is such a pain! I could almost swap a DVD in that time!

you can on the 360 also. just like forza 3

That only works if the game is designed like that. Forza 3 and Oblivion GOTY are an exception because they just install extra content. For a game like Mass Effect, they're not going to want to ignore people without an HDD.

Wait I thought you could do that with LO too? Install all discs and then just play on one. I would assume the same for this too. Some one correct if wrong. I didn't install Lost Odyssey but I thought that it was possible to this with Multi disc games.

That's pretty sweet i guess. Does anyone remember back in the day when fanboys used to declare that 360 games would ship on four discs, and the fact that it used DVDs was like an EPIC problem? :P

Wow, disc space is becoming more of a problem as the years go on for 360.

Not a problem at all, considering that you can install them. (I know I will be doing this.) This is great news, imo... it means the game will be meatier than most. And seriously, show me the gamer who passed up a great game because it had a one time disc swap, and I'll show you a moron fanboy.

discs dont matter, cant believe some people are so lazy to change discs.... "ME2 will be on ps3 because it will have one disk" Just because a developer can fit more on to a disk does not mean they are going to.... I really dont know how I am going to be able to stand up and switch disks, oh the pain *sarcasm*

Was this a problem for FF7 - 9? How about any other countless number of JRPGs that spanned the PS1 to PS2 time? Yet suddenly Sony fans are too good to get up and put a new disc in, ONE TIME? It's already been announced that this was a one time deal. And you would not have to swap back and forth.

FM3 was the first game to use the technique. All the others before that you'd need to switch discs even if you cached them onto the hard drive.

It wouldnt be bad if they let you DL them both, and only need one to activate both DLs.

Also, games like Oblivion / Fallout 3 which released entire expansions did not require the expansion disc to play it.

Probably because its not the same situation, I'm swapping a disc to go from games to movies, disc swapping in Mass effect is to move to a different part of the same game, something people did in the 90's

I'm positive that if you had reread your comment you wouldn't have posted it because that logic just sounds ridiculous. I also have to get up and swap discs when I want to move from one game to another game. . . Hey also controls still have a D-pad, just like they did in the 90's. JRPGs still have turn based combat, just like they did in the 90's. Mario still controls like he did in the 90's. Nobuo Uematsu is still making game music like he did in the 90's. Akira Toriyama still draws the same looking characters as he did in the 90's. Coca-Cola tastes just like it did in the 90's. Checks still look like they did in the 90's. Alcohol still tastes the same as it did in the 90's. What's wrong with our society??????

So swapping discs to move from your game to your movies is the same as swapping discs in the same game? Okay... :roll:

[QUOTE="FIipMode"] So swapping discs to move from your game to your movies is the same as swapping discs in the same game? Okay... :roll:

No, my argument is that to call swapping discs "something people did in the 90's" as if it were an aweful thing is quite stupid since there are plenty of things we still do everyday that we did the same way as we did it in the 90's. Heck the Dualshock controller has basically been the same since the 90's. Besides, you're right about the ME2 situation and the Netflix situation being totally different. The Netflix situation IS WAY WORSE!!!!!!!!!! With ME2 you swap from disc one to disc two ONCE. That's it. You're finished. Done with. No more of an issue. With Netflix EVERYTIME you want to watch a movie after playing a video game you HAVE to swap the disc. Stop trying to create some imaginary ownage because ME2 is on two discs. I have played and enjoyed countless other games on Sony's systems that required a disc swap before. This is a NON ISSUE.

You are exaggerating. We've had several multi-disc games this millenia prior to the 360's launch. How soon we forget. (Maybe because it wasn't a big deal then, and it isn't a big deal now.)

EDITED!
