Mass Effect 2

[Fargoth]

Is anyone else extremely hyped for this game as well? I can't stop thinking about this game it looks really nice and its the only game I know that can get so complicated and can have imported saves between games. I'm definitly looking forward to all the new changes and the different endings is definitly going to have me play this for quite a while

[Unreal]

I am looking forward to it. I started another soldier not that long ago and he is at level 50. I am trying to finish up as much as I can with what I am playing because you will only see my play Mass Effect 2 when it comes out :)

[Vampero]

I will be getting this game for sure!!:hump:

Every copy of the game has Cerberus card. Nobody knows exactly what you will get but I'm excited. I really like how Bioware actually listened to the problems and fixed it. New characters are really complex and I love it.

I'm getting the terminus and the blackstorm weapon.

I'm getting the terminus and the blackstorm weapon.
I have the collectors edition pre-ordered. So I am hoping the the armor and weapon are better then the Dragon Age one. If not its still cool looking.

Blood dragon armor gives a 15% bonus to power

Collector armor: Regenerate 10% faster, Increase storm speed 10%, Increase health by 20%

[Variation-XBA]

Bah, so I have to choose? :(

[Vampera13]

I know my boyfriend is definitely going to get this game... He's been playing the first one and he already pre-ordered the second one... I will definitely give this game a try.... :rockout:

[Ainokeatoo]

I guess I will wear one for my first play through and the other for my second. :D

[Fargoth]

Techinically if you haven't heard yet the armor system is a lot different. Normally most armor in the game is just cosmetic which you can change colors and camo and head gear and such now. Although what does matter is the armor upgrades you pick up so there will be a lot of different kinds of attachments you can add to make it better. Also apperently if you pick up a nice weapon and equip it. It copies over to your team mates so they get it also.

You could always not get MAG and get something good instead ;)

[Ainokeatoo]

Yeah, but then I wouldn't have any other games than Fallout 3, which is fun for a few hours, :P but i'm an online person. I'll probably end up getting FFXIII if and when I get the money, don't get me wrong ME2 was fun as hell, I played through the first one four or so times the first week I got it. But that was kinda the downside, after the second time I started doing the evil and good ending/all quests or at least most of them, kinda bored me to tears.

I love this part. :D

The first Mass Effect I can only say is the greatest game I've never finished.

Hopefully, I'll be able to get into the second one more than I did the first and hopefully I won't be too lost in not knowing exactly what's going on (or why) due to not finishing the story of the first in the series.

Still, can't wait to give it a try!

The developers said they madde it so that anyone can come and play this game even if they haven't finished or played the first one

You are right my friend!!

[Meeknweak]

It's not a matter of not being able to play, but more as to not knowing exactly what is going on and why that I am going to have to work through.

Without a doubt, playing through the first one will yield some advantages as far as the story of the game goes.

No matter, however, as I still can not wait to pop it into the system and lose a lot of sleep over the next few days!

[Ainokeatoo]

lol This game looks good, I haven't gotten to play it yet just went and picked up mag, almost got Mass effect and MAG due to the new guy's screw up, but he corrected himself (darn). Anyway, the game living up to the hype?

[Variation-XBA]

Well I just realized it was midnight...so that's 7 hours straight. Yup, it's good.

LOL You and I both buddy, XD now it's going to be a fight between ME2 and FFXIII whoever gets my money first, not really looking for a game right at the moment, but soon.

Edit: Var what do you know about the rumors of ME2 coming out for the PS3, I heard it a few months ago, and it resurfaced just yesterday, though granted that it's already out I doubt it.

I'm telling you crap traitor....first MAG now this? pfft...

[Ainokeatoo]

Lmao, I need more than two games on this damn thing, I have enough games for my xbox.

[Bakeman]

I'm not really a big RPG guy... I'm liking this game quite a bit.

I'm having a little trouble with research.. the things I have available (like 7 things, weapon upgrades, ship upgrades) all cost WAAAY to much.. like one thing cost 10,000 of something, and i only have 2,000 of it.. that ship upgrade is like 50,000 and I only have like 3,000... how do I collect more of that stuff, and I am not even sure how I got what I got in the first place haha

I also picked up Dragon Age a week ago, and almost didn't get ME2 because i didn't want to stop playing DA altogether as I usually do with games when I get new ones. But I like how these two games are still quite different and offer different things even though both are RPG's.

You get money for like hacking terminals and such. I know if you hack one of many bank terminal in Omega you get 5k per

[Variation-XBA]

When you see planets, go to then and hold LT to start scanning, when your controller starts to vibrate and the readings spike, then use RT to send a probe and that's how you gather materials. The planet will say if its Rich or Moderate or Poor in resources (just ignore poor)

[thAshAdyOne]

I just picked mine up yesterday. Thing is...since my xbox was stolen, I started playing ME1 but didn't finish it before I gave it to my bro...But I did grab a copy from Blockbuster. Now I have to wait to finish the first one before I start the second one. I'm even wondering if I should play through it again before starting ME2. Does anyone know how long ME1 is if I just play through the main story line and ignore everything else? I only have the game til Monday.

[Variation-XBA]

If you focus on the story and no side quests you'll finish it on the weekend no problem.

Problem is you won't get levels or any of the side quest things that carry over. Ex: Helena Blake, Nassana, Geth data, such and so

No your not getting ME2, or Gears, or Crackdown. You guys got lucky with Bioshock. We have to keep some titles to ourselves.

Am I the only one experiencing that when you resume after you die, it goes back to the OLDEST save rather than an autosave?

Umm... No it doesn't happen to me... Not sure whats up with that.. Do you have autosaves?

[Vampero]

Far, I hope Bioware will make ME3 co-op. They can do it just make the host make all the choices .Have two of your friends go on the quest with you.That would make that game over the top and my GF could play...ahahahahahah!!:yikes:

When I hit resume it always goes to the autosaves, something must be wrong with yours

[thAshAdyOne]

Yeah, I have to manually load up the autosave. SMH Then on top of that, it seems that they designed the text to damn near unreadable on an SDTV. I read the comments on Kotaku and everyone was like "OMGZ Everyone should have an HDTV by now!" I'm sorry that I have other things to do with my money...like survive.
