Mass Effect 2

[cHodAX]

Dear god it is good, once you adjust to the new control scheme that is. The amount of recruitment quests, exploration missions, loyalty quests and main storyline quests is outstanding. Don't rush the main storyline, do everything and explore every planet because you will be well rewarded.

As a game it works on so many levels but for me the story is everything, Bioware have done it again and proven why the Old Republic MMO is in safe hands.

Oh and buy the game, the sheer amount of quality gameplay hours makes it worth every penny.

played and completed it once. it is awesome. now i just recently started a new game with the same character, because i didnt like how some of the stuff worked out in the end and i am sure i missed some stuff (even though i was pretty damn thorough). cant wait for ME3 tbh

 

[cHodAX]

3 years it seems bud.

 

[Rulke]

Didn't they say 2011 for ME3? They're gonna use the same engine as ME2 so not as much work to do

And ya, tis good

 

[fl3a]

its listed as TBA 2011 on ign. i think the earliest release we can hope for is Q1 2012

[Fafnir]

My copy was mailed this morning, hopefully its delivered when i get home.

 

[Moriath]

whats the advantage of using a me1 save over a fresh start ?

 

[leviathane]

apparently decisions you made in the first ones have an effect on the story line in the 2nd, so best to play it twice through i s'pose once with the save once w/o

 

[Ch3tan]

I'm going to avoid this till I am bored with Startrek online. It will help me save some money!

There's a buttload of characters who reappear in ME2, even if it's just as an email they send you saying "thanks" or "i hate you!" depending on your actions in ME1.

Conrad verner one made me laugh

 

[Lethul]

My comp managed Dragon Age, you think it can handle Mass Effect 1 then?

 

[Hawkwind]

Still finishing ME 1 and Divinty 2. How the heck am I going to fit ME 2 in before the Dragon Age Awakenings is out. Add to that Early Start of Star Trek and Global Agenda it's all too much to handle. Gonna have to cancel real life for a couple of weeks

what i find weird is how much of a fps hit the game takes when you put on AA (rename exe to ut3.exe and force it from driver settings). running at 60+ fps smoothly, and when i force AA it goes to 50+ in combat and only 20+ in cutscenes (and it doesnt make any difference if i use 2x or 4x, same fps hit) kinda sad i cant comfortably use AA

 

[Helme]

Sounds like an nVidia issue since I can force AA without any FPS loss at all(Radeon 4850).

That said, finished the game as a female shepherd and really liked it. Tried to replay it as a male and jesus christ, they really need a new voice actor for this guy. He's horrible in comparison to the female one.

 

[cHodAX]

Just completed, ending is a little weaker than I expected but it sets the scene for ME3 nicely so I can't complain. Still more than worth the price.

 

[Vladamir]

Session it much Cho?

Got my copy today, going to get started on it tommorow

[Rulke]

Finished it last night, really enjoyed it

Comment above about the ending is true though, end of game baddie/boss is a little weak - just took one shot from my Cain mini-nuke and a couple bursts of AP bullets (on hardcore as well!)

(I think that was the only time I actually fired the cain the entire game )

im on radeon 5770
and regarding the voice actor, i think that the guy does a pretty decent job, but you cant compare him to jennifer hale

Spoiler
