[Official] Mass Effect 2

[SimplySchizo]

Well never too late hey

For me it looks like it is.:unsure: I'm done with 360. Think 4th time around would be the charm? hehe done with it.

As for pc, I have a 5 year old Alienware which I really have no interest in upgrading as the PC gaming scene isn't what it used to be for me.

So I guess I'm pretty much done with that as well. I know, its a shame.

Maybe if Onlive ever takes off. :D

[Massiveterra]

Quick question, how do I obtain the Nuke Launcher?

Reminder - Everyone is entitled to their opinion, both good and bad.

Reminder # 2 - Sometimes regulars here take what I would call playful jabs at each other because they are regulars and I have seen that not work out at at least 50 times, probably more. My advice would be unless you talk to the person on a daily basis and you can call each other actual friends, it is not worth it to try and joke around with them, as no amount of smiley faces can cover up or mask what is at it's essence an insult.

So, what's the trick to romancing kelly? She's stupid hot.

And did anyone post this yet?

Ah, yes! Finally. Mordin is hilarious :D

Ooooo Larry is a mod again :)

(guess what the intention of the smile is)

just finished up meeting the collectors, man this game on the hardest level is hard. Toke me a long awhile to defend that tower. Jak is useless, she can't use her powers against people who have armour or shields which make her useless. Zaeed and Garrus are the best two in my opinion because i'm a vanguard. I just let them two chill in the background sniping people while i take them on in the front. Beating the warden was really really easy with this strategy because that guy just chilled on a platform. Grunt is pretty good too, watching him charge like 3 baddies and shotgunning them is pretty funny.

didn't arrive in the mail today :cry: Twas my free day as well!

Jack was one of my favorites to haul around with me, but I never really took now of how helpful or useless she is. She has always done fine but I never experimented to find a better squad member. And she can use her powers on shielded and armor targets fine from what I have seen, its only Biotic shields that protect from biotics (and that goes for all biotics, not just Jack). Grunt is pretty sweet though, I brought him with me through the entire game and he has never died once, its always my other team mate that dies or me coming close to death.

from talking with other people playing the game, the harder the game level is at the more you have to manage/direct your AI teamates because the enemies are really really smart. They flank the crap out of me sometimes. If i let my teamates run loose, they will die. guranteed.

[sanctified Veteran]

I cant wait for playing this game. I already got it but I'm replying the first one.

I dont care about gameplay, I can adapt to any gameplay, just give me a great storyline and character development.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Grunt + Thane + Shepard = win

The problem with that is you can't move them when you press shift and you can't tell them who to shoot which is annoying, when I played the game on normal you think the bots are fine and then when you play on Insanity and actually need the bots to help they don't do anything and spend the entire time charging the enemies, dead or hiding behind a wall and wont stand up to shoot or help it's bizarre, there seems to be a few problems with the bots pathing as well, there was a bit on Horizon and all the bots had to do was walk down a few steps and take cover behind a well placed concrete barrier instead they ran back they then entered the buildings to the right of where they were which takes them ahead of the enemy then tried to walk back to the cover before they were then killed it wasn't a one time problem either, you can leave the bots behind a barrier and it just seems impossible for them to kill even one enemy and when theirs usually around 7 enemy it get's slightly annoying. :|

anaron what class is your shepard?

weird i have had issues where they go to a dumb place to cover, but usually they are pretty good and hiding and shooting, especially the snipers, and especially when you tell them who to shoot.

[undu]

Got it today, I still have a lot of people to meet, but played it for about 5 hours, this is great :D

[rajputwarrior]

i don't know why people have beef with the graphics, they look pretty good, nicely detailed on my PC. running it maxed out @ 1440x900 and looks great. It may not be on the same level as say uncharted 2(nothing really is) but it still looks pretty good and runs great.

[WastedJoker]

Thane + Zaeed + Shepard using Miranda's Loyalty Power = win

Let Zaeed and Thane hang back while I take point - use Thane's Throw power (fully maxed) to hit close groups then Zaeed's Incendiary grenade - super hurtful. Both the snipers can take pot shots while I use my fully maxed Adrenalin rush + Revenant Machine Gun w/ Assault rifle accuracy mod to take down the big enemies with ease.

[Osiris]

Does anyone know how much renegade they had or you need to

Kill Samara and get her daughter on your team instead?

Thanks

[+Mystic MVC]

Joker where do you get that machine gun?

Anybody else loving the detail they put into the Krogans, especially Grunt?

I have minimum of paragon...1 bar. I think it depends on choice in conversation rather than paragon/renegade.

Yeh! He is so damn detailed..i think more than everyone else. I would prefer all that fine detailing on miranda :D

Yeah I think so too, my Shepard was 100% Paragon and I was given the choice

to kill either Samara or her daughter, obviously as a paragon I saved Samara :p

[KiHu]

Just finished the game last night...

I was very satisfied.

[spacer]

I finished the

derelict collector ship mission

last night. I'm guessing I have one more mission (

get the Reaper IFF

) before the suicide run? I'll be going around and doing all the character personal missions next before I do that though. I can't wait to get to the finale. But, I'm not really looking forward to having to do a lot of scanning in order to buy all the upgrades... :pinch:

[Treemonkeys]

Well I am about 4 hours into the game so far, I am really enjoying how improved the graphics are plus it actually runs smoother than ME1 on my PC. The story is also very intriguing so far.

I was starting to get a bad feeling that this is really dumbed down from ME1 but hopefully there is still just parts of the gameplay I have not seen yet.

Is there any way to view a map while you are in combat? When I press M it just brings up an arrow pointing me where to go.

Can anyone give me an overview of how to search planets for resources? I was messing around with this last night and ending up wasting all of my probes on one planet, couldn't find where to get more probes.

Is there any way to access your "inventory" when you are outside of the Normandy?

Do you find more armor as the game goes along? Right now I just have the standard armor + pre-order armor which looks incredibly stupid during the cut scenes (why no helmet option?) so I just use the standard one, despite it's lack of stats.

Is there any way to change your teamates armor or inventory?

[Treemonkeys]

Oh yeah one more thing is there anyway to see the stats for your different guns? All I have been able to find is a basic description and I can't tell which gun should be better than the other.

[Massiveterra]

Hey guys, so far I'm about 25 hours into my game and still haven't gotten Legion yet, and he's not showing up in my Journal. How do I obtain that character? Do I get him in a main mission or side mission?
