The intergalactic hunt for minerals may not be Mass Effect 2’s most marketable feature, but BioWare’s latest update to the Xbox 360 version of the sci-fi role-playing game has “optimized” its mundane planet scanning, resulting in many happy players.
“Scanning for minerals has been optimized” may sound vague, but the small change has been met with glee at the official BioWare forums, where the latest update was announced.
