Mass Effect 2

[dansdinosaurs]

Wasn't "Liara" an option in an SS poll recently, to see what characters from games should be made into SS figures? I think she did really well, came in third or fourth among a dozen or so. A Garrus bust would be awesome, though.

Spoiler

So I did my second playthrough and avoided all prototype upgrades just to see what would happen. I chose good people for each role, but the only casualty was at the very end: Morlin didn't make it.

So on Insaniy I'm stuck at the part where you have to fight 2 Scions plus a horde of husks. Any advice would be great. Just dying all the time now at every attemp

I assume you're at the end of the horizon mission. I recommend running and gunning. Run from the husks while whittling down their armor. I'm fairly sure shockwave will kill unarmored husks so use it if you have it. You should always keep a decent distance from the scions so you can dodge their attacks. Mordin might be useful for his incinerate.

Unfortunately, I doubt Sideshow would nab a "cult" license as timely as MASS EFFECT is right now. They usually either wait until the Momentum Train has left, or they luck into it (AVATAR).

I would pay so much money for some Mass Effect statues or 1/6 figures. Especially if they made Tali. I Tali.

Yea, shockwave works once I get rid of their armor down. Wanted to nuke (cain) the scions, but I already used it earlier and apparently you can only use it once Don't have Mordin with me, I have Grunt and The Merc (can never spell his name). I guess the main problem is that my 2 partners literally die within 15 seconds of me starting from reload. I run around, but they just stand there and die. I use the d-pad commands (left and right) to move them around, but that just doesn't do any good. Getting REALLY frustrated and considering just quitting insanity and getting the rest of the achievements on casual.

Plus, I'm a vanguard, so that probably doesn't help matters

 

[jediknight120]

Scions are b****es. Best tactic I figured out was to stay out of cover at maximum range and run left and right when I saw their shockwave coming in. Of course, that's much easier said than done, especially with Husks charging and Collector Drones shooting particle beams at you.

 

[IrishJedi]

Hell, Scions are kind of a chore on Normal... I can only imagine the horrors on Insanity.

I didn't know that. Did it include other ME characters or just her?

I'd go nuts with that line and probably buy everything. I'd really effing love a sculpt of the Normandy.

Scions are cheaper than people who play Sagat in Street Fighter.

I ALMOST killed 1 of the two scions earlier. Killed all the husks and of course my two teammates die in one hit as usual. Hate it that when I hold A he doesn't run sometimes....stupid Bioware

There appears to be some kind of cooldown on running that isn't displayed.

There 2 things I would like to know

1. I didn't play the first ME, is Cerberus a very bad guys? A lots of people seems to hate them.

2. I heard someone said they visits Normandy SR1 crash site. Where is it exactly?

They've done lots of morally questionable things. Various characters talk more about this in the second game, you'll find out as you go along.

The "cooldown" meter for running was visible in the first Mass Effect, though it's invisible in the sequel. I wish they'd remove the character icons from the bottom of the screen - kind of upsets the cinematic quality for me.

The SR-1 crash site will be a location you can visit in future downloadable content.

The Normandy crash site content is available right now actually. I thought it was pretty good.

 

[dansdinosaurs]

Scratch that, you're right; I finally logged into the Cerberus network, and the Normandy crash site mission is already available if you have Xbox Live. I'm also pretty impressed with Zaeed and his mission.

Cerberus is an extreme pro-human group, essentially doing anything in human interest without regard for other species.

As for the crash site, once you've downloaded it it'll have a flag in the Galaxy Map listing where it is. Other stuff that isn't main missions you'll have to find by going to the planets, usually there's one of those hidden missions in each cluster.

 

[SpawnFan]

Log in to the Cerberus Network tomorrow and you'll be able to grab the new Cerberus Assault Armour and Eviscerator Shotgun for free.

Cerberus Assault Armour increases heavy weapon ammo capacity by +10%, shields by +10% and health by +10%.

The M-22a Eviscerator Shotgun is a longer-range shotgun with armour-piercing loads, which violates several intergalactic weapons treaties, meaning the gun isn't normal standard issue.

Yeah just dled that, pretty sweet! Thanks Bioware!

An interesting tidbit on romances throughout the Mass Effect Trilogy, from Casey Hudson:

Spoiler

"One thing I'm really excited to see is the achievement data that will show how faithful players are to their ME1 love interest. And the best part is, even though I expect most (almost all?) players will cheat on their ME1 love interest, that decision too will come back to haunt them in the next game!"
