Mass Effect 2

[Matt S]

it's like KOTOR/Mass Effect but the LOTR version....if you like their engine it's basically the same but a different setting but longer 75-100 hours but to be honest it hasn't felt that long.

Thanks....I'll probably pass. Just not into Fantasy

Reading the reader/user comments in that review page made me laugh.

Me too. Some of those people are just retarded. Especially the twits comparing it to Uncharted 2. I guess they just can't handle it when a 360 exclusive gets a high score.

~~I personally cannot wait to drop this in my PC and hook it up to the 50" to get my game on.

Is anybody getting the strategy book to go with the game? I rarely, if ever, buy strategy guides/books, but I'm tempted to get the one for ME2. I bought the strategy guide for the first Mass Effect, but that was in part because the limited edition book came bundled with a really great art book.

I wouldn't, the only things that might stop you are the little puzzles, but I've only had that happen once in a Bioware game.

Yeah, I don't expect to get stuck in the game. I did use the ME1 guide book so I could complete all the sidequests though. Some of them are a bit annoying, especially the medals, scientific samples, and assorted items you could collect.

That's one thing I'm wondering--I'll be playing on PC so are there Windows Live achievements for this?

 

[SOLIDSNAKE]

I dont have a 360 but man!
after I saw this trailer I want to get a 360 more then ever.

how is part 1 guys ?
I have to play this saga for sure.
This trailer blew me away.

is this game on pc ?

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Yup its on the PC as well.

 

[SOLIDSNAKE]

Man ! that trailer is so epic.
I am picking up part 1 today for the PC.

I cant wait to get sucked in the game.

 

[dr_teng]

Part 1 is excellent but I'm going to give you guys a big tip that'll help you enjoy it more. DON'T do all the sidequests unless you're absolutely hooked on it. A bunch of them have really cool stories, but they get very very repetitive and the driving is awful.

That was my main issue with what was otherwise an incredible game.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

I'm going to suggest otherwise. Whenever I get into an RPG from start to finish I have to try all of them,and completing all the sidequests adds to the total experience of the game.

 

[Mighty_Jabba]

Some of the sidequests can get boring - I'm talking about the ones where you land on an empty planet, drive about a little and then shoot something. I enjoyed pretty much all of the sidequest on planets connected with the main storyline, especially the ones on the citadel.

I do that too for standard linear RPGs, but I usually play the game through once doing the minimal amount of side quests, then play through again trying to get 100%. Now, that doesnt apply to ME, since there are so many classes and whatnot, so I try to do as much as I can in each play through.

Yeah, the driving on the planet stuff almost ruined the game for me. So bad. I'm glad they reportedly got rid of that completely in ME2

 

[Mighty_Jabba]

Sidequests or not, what makes this game into such an amazing experience is a great, epic story, well developed characters and the richness of the world. One thing I recommend while playing the game is read the codex. It really deepens your experience and gives you insight into how well developed the universe of the game is.

i believe they are still there...something about since you aren't on the company's dime because you are an outcast you have to mine for minerals for fuel.

 

[Darth Caedus]

Probably asked before, but are you guys getting the collector's edition??? I'm still unsure if I want to get it.

Yup LE is a must buy for me.
