Iāve been playing Mass Effect on a 50ā³ screen, and even I noticed that in some places the game has some tiny, tiny text. So spare a thought for people playing it on a standard-definition TV set.
In the latest example of a developer building games for only half the market, itās been revealed that not only does Mass Effect 2 feature text that for some people is too small to read, but that thereās no way to really fix it.
Responding to user complaints on the matter on the developerās forums, BioWareās Michael Gamble writes āIāll have to talk to Casey about this (as any way to address it would have far reaching changes in the game), but please donāt expect any decisions or a fix in the near future (as we are supporting a number of issues at this time). This was a design choice, not a bugā.
Inother words, donāt hold your breath. Actually, I think he means donāt hold your breath, then go out and buy a bigger TV.
