Oh that's not the case, I appreciate it as a good game nothing wrong there. But where is it so different to the MGS series in that it is a great story telling game. Yet people bang on as if it's a big snoozefest of a film. This so far seems no difference in game/story balance.

Dont worry about those. They too are missing something, their brain.

Believe me, you'll be impressed by the end of the game.

somehow i never noticed him in the game, or i just forgot about him.

Thanks for the linkie though!

I didn't even know he was in Mass Effect 2. He was noticeable in Mass Effect 1 if you received his transmissions. Basically, he'd send you an audio-only message with mission details. You had the choice of accepting or declining, if I remember correctly.

Wow! I hope it's as long as Lair of the Shadow Broker.

Unfortunately not. It's not bad, a nice tie-in to ME3 I suppose, but (at least for me) was pretty underwhelming compared to Shadow Broker. Not very long, no big surprises and was fairly predictable. Definitely can't wait for ME3 though..

thanks for the heads up Viper, i went and got it for the 360. i enjoyed all of the downloadable content for ME2, i don't think this one will be an exception. it will be nice to have ME3 conclude the current story arc...mostly because it will mean ME4 will be on the next round of consoles :whistle:

Anyone got any good tips to get my paragon up? As you see I only need a lil bit, but its hard and I lost Jack off the argument and trying to get her back before I go rescue the crew.

Here's a morality guide for Mass Effect 2: http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Morality_Guide_%28Mass_Effect_2%29

Has anyone played The Arrival? It's pretty good.

I was surprised that I could still play after "dying". It was right after the part where the doctor betrays you. When you wake up slowly, you see her with blurred vision. You also see her eyes glowing, similar to the way the Collectors eyes glow. I thought it was an interesting change to the standard "Resume/Load/Exit" you get after dying.

Thanks and yeah I played it

I was trying to survive, I lasted about 4 minutes before I died using rocket launcher and my skills. Yeah it is part of the DLC though, I doubt anyone can survive because more and more come. haha yeah her eyes were crazy!

That is suppose to happen, it's part of the story to

move you forward in time to move you closer to the deadline. :p

I survived all the

rounds with enemies for the achievement and they knock you out at the end either way with the reaper artifact.

Yea,

it got pretty bad near the end, and this was on easy.

I pulled through after many uses of unity though, eventually the bar at the bottom fills up and lets out a pulse which knocks you unconscious, then I would assume you wake up the same way you do if you get killed.

I survived it ...on Insanity, with my Infiltrator.

Everyone, including the YMR-Mech ignore you while 'cloaked' ..so I just found a spot in a corner, kept cloaking and letting rip with the Widow sniper rifle and (once the widow's clips ran out) the Locust SMG :D

..On playthroughs with other classes though I didn't even last the first wave :(

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.

      26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By WrongHead™ · Posted

      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.
