I hope their will be a lot less driving in this game. That was by far the poorest part of the first game

Also, I hope their isn't anything similar to the 2 hour Citadel mission in the beginning of ME1. That was the reason so many people I knew got turned off to the first game.

Well Bioware has said that there will be a ton of planet side missions but they will actually have meaning this time. Whether or not that includes driving is yet to be seen. :p

For many, if they had a complaint with ME it was because of the side missions. In the game developer interviews they have shown that there are a variety of side missions ranging from 10-15 minutes or upwards of an hour long. That sentence made me smile because it already is showing that are caring 100x more to make some variety this time.

I'm assuming you haven't watched any of the videos showing off planet exploring which has a completely revamped system which means planet exploring is even more emphasized so you can bet it will be even more fun this time around.

i enjoyed the side missions even the insanely unrealistic driving .. is actually funny being able to drive on an almost 90degree slope. i just hope that after you find some people and save them you can go back and see how they change or maybe they could hep you in your quest

besides i am a little worried about that guy that knows everything (forget his name)

I think for once I'm going to play this game as a jackass, I always can't help myself being good in games with the first playthrough :laugh:

Only difference was in those two awesome star wars RPGs that I forget, just because I wanted to be on the dark side and found it cool when your skin turned all grey and evil :p

Thinking maybe of KOTOR possibly?

Watched it earlier this morning and hopefully this next week flies by fast! I need this game! :p

I have played the first hour of the game, and will finish it within the next 2 days hopefully. (yes it is the PC version from a source we do not talk about it) And I have to say, it's already my number one game of the year, it's fracking epic!

I will be getting the 360 version on the 26th and it's going to be awesome, when that happens I will be using my character from ME1, I didn't do that with the PC version. Believe me it's better to have your character from the first game.

I'm torn whether to buy the game or just to rent it from Gamefly. Usually, my rule is that I rent single-player-only games and to reserve my purchases for popular multi-player titles.

Is the cerebus network incentive enough to actually buy the game? (As well as actually playing the game on launch day?)

Since there are a lot of achievements based on recruiting your squad, I wonder how challenging it is to actually "recruit" or if they're just story progression achievements

You don't need to recruit everyone to finish the game, though each person is unique and it's worth it to get the XP and upgrades. They have a further loyalty quest which furthers their back story and is also required for at least 2 crew members. Reasons I won't go in to due to spoilers.

Jovial concurrence. That is a great post.

Tell me you've seen the Macbeth advertisement on the Citidel? Had me in bits. :(

No driving at all (over 14 hours in).

      It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.

      Microsoft, totally not confusing /s 25H2 - Current for non-Arm based Windows 26H1 - Current for Arm based Windows 26H2 - Only for non Arm Windows
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      After I installed those, my older but capable Win 11 laptop (16GB RAM) reported it as 26H2 26300.8697. Then I installed it on my big laptop (128GB RAM! Hehe sorry), it reported it as 25H2 26220.8690. Ugh. Do I have to switch Insiders channels from Release to Beta?
