HankBukowski Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 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.

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted March 22, 2011 Veteran Share Posted March 22, 2011 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.

Jen Smith Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 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.. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/866956-official-mass-effect-2/page/40/#findComment-593836516 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ionium Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I bought this for Xbox today and am dissapointed that I cannot have entitlements to DLC since I bought them for PC already.

YounGMessiah Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Just finished the Arrival DLC and it was pretty good, I must say; wish it was longer though! It has me hyped more for ME3, and the Arrival DLC was pretty challenging (fighting).

George P Global Moderator Posted March 31, 2011 Global Moderator Share Posted March 31, 2011 I don't expect it to be long but I do expect it to hype you up for ME3. In which case it'd have done it's job well.

neoadorable Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 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: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/866956-official-mass-effect-2/page/40/#findComment-593842824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
YounGMessiah Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 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.

akav0id Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 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 :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/866956-official-mass-effect-2/page/40/#findComment-593863782 Share on other sites More sharing options...
