Mass Effect 2

[darthviper107]

Yeah I noticed I get 4 or 5 Renegade points sometimes too and I don't know why. I'm going Paragon and the amount of those I have is still alot more than Renegade but I just don't know why I get them sometimes.

Anyway, still an amazing game so far. I've logged about 32 hours and I have 2 more crew members to recruit. After that I'll be in the final stages of the game I think. I'm trying to take my time as much as I can and I'm loving every minute of it.

It's really interesting how time passes with this game, I feel like I've barely played it at all and I've got 5 hours on it, it's a really different game than ME1--but that's a good thing.

I beat the game with an imported paragon vanguard and I must say I really enjoyed the game. It's much better if you've played Mass Effect 1 recently since there are quite a few jokes and cameos you from the first game. I started playing insanity with an imported infiltrator and it is difficult in some spots. It's not annoying difficult like the first one (where killing things take forever), you just need to be aware on using your teammates abilities.

I am totally getting one of these:

That is one piece of gaming clothing that I would consider buying.

Kain and I beat the game last night, thanks for the help after the Omega 4 Relay I was quite suprised that I got the Tali Paramour scene, I was flirting with Kelly pretty heavily; even brought her up to my cabin for some dinner. AH well, maybe I waited too long to go through the Omega 4.

Going to start playing it on Insanity tonight, have a couple of achievements to pick up.

Have a couple of videos here: one's great and one's kinda creepy.

Here's the great one

it shows as Small and Large

I only saw medium last night, and now there arent any sizes at all.

 

[Darth Caedus]

So I started Insanity today and that is just bloody disgustingly hard. One of those stupid little robot dog-things on the very first mission actually managed to kill me. You actually have to pay attention to cover at this difficulty.

Well, you were never that great at video games if Gears was any indication of your play, Nick.

I'm about 15 hours in and i'm really enjoying this game so far.

Just a note to you guys. If you want to do a second playthrough on Insanity and use your ME2 character, you lose your previous save with the same character. (Had I known, I probably wouldn't have it had I known that)

Hahaha...awesome reply. I love Achmed.

Ok question when do you get into the omega four relay and also I think i got miranda but jack is mad at me.

Do almost everything in the game before you go through the Omega 4 Relay; also, make sure you upgrade all the ship's defences

I would say do as much as possible before getting the FFI not going through the Omega 4 Relay.

Spoiler

After you get the FFI the game trigers the collectors to board and take your crew. The longer you wait between them taking your crew and the Omega 4 Relay the more of your crew dies. I waited a long time and the only crew that was left by the time i rescued them was the doctor chick. A friend of mine didnt wait and all of his crew survived.

Yea

I shouldn't have waited, I wanted to save Kelly. She even came up to Shephard's room for dinner and was feeding my fish. OH WELL, hopefully on the second playthrough I'll do it

 

[ironwez20]

What do guys mean, what happens if you wait.

The longer you wait to go through the Omega 4 Relay after the collectors take your crew the more of them will die when you try to rescue them. So in other words the collectors take your crew and you decide to do a lot of side missions before going through the Omega 4 Relay....Kelly, the cook, and all the randoms will die. I dont know if the doctor is the default that lives but she was the only one who was left for me cause I took to long to rescue them.

I'm having tons of fun with this game! Loving it! I think I have to recruit two or three more people for my squad, but I'm taking my time. Great gaming experience!

 

[ironwez20]

well right now Im helping thane stop his son. Hope thats not a spoiler.

 

[ironwez20]

Quick question where do you get upgrades for your ship ?

 

[plasmid303]

Talk to your squad mates on the Normandy. They allow you to buy specific ship upgrades.

Think I have earned the title, 'slowest gamer ever' with this game. About 22 game hours in, have yet to recruit everyone, though getting close and have yet to actually do any Loyalty levels except Miranda....and didnt realize she would get an outfit option upgrade....

Just finished getting Samara - love her...great new character. And Thane has really grown on me in the short time he's be a member....digging it.

Think tomorrow Ill do the Zeed mission.......for a free DLC character, he is pretty cool

I do like how you can redo your skills every so often. I have found that very helpful.....

Picked up the Katana Shotgun....WOW.....gets the job done. So far, I am a level 16 Vanguard...will see how high I can get on my inital playthrough. Glad I ported over my level 60 Vanguard Shepard. My skills now are allowing me to get thru the combat without as much difficulty as before.

Its amazing how many cameos are back for this game, beside the original crew....just about every little side character is in it, meantioned, or given closure via the email system...pretty cool that way....curious how much of this is different when you DONT port a character over from ME1...

Please tell me the Geth are back at some point? I know there is a Geth character, but I kind of miss seeing them in this one....as cool looking as the security bots are, the Geth are way more interesting to me

So glad I got my 5.1 sound going for this game...really, really, really adds to the experience
