1/26/2010 7:03:30 PM

I alt tab'd and thought it wasnt working. Managed to glitch something to the point where I cant shift-tab out of the game in steam and am now redownloading the content after uninstalling it...

ANGER!

Do the questions the chick asks on the shuttle leaving the station in which shepard is revived do they effect the back story even if you import your character?

1/26/2010 7:51:37 PM

ANGER!

1/26/2010 7:54:41 PM

When you click login with your EA login in the game, what is supposed to happen after that?

1/26/2010 7:59:56 PM

I have a seperate email for xbox bioware games and for pc bioware games

I enterered the wrong one on the site so I can't use my dlc on xbox

I emailed them but who knows what that will accomplish

Fuck it tho, got a nice 2 hour distraction coming up in 55 minutes or so

1/26/2010 8:06:38 PM

I can't find my Mass Effect 1 saves anywhere. Apparently a "save" folder was not created when I installed the game. Fuck.

1/26/2010 8:29:44 PM

What classes have u all picked so far?

1/26/2010 11:06:25 PM

Vanguard

pew pew pew

1/26/2010 11:08:56 PM

yeah i'm starting over to be a vanguard. Tried infiltrator and i miss the shotgun to much.

1/26/2010 11:10:56 PM

^^^^Should be under user/name/Documents/Bioware/Mass Effect/Saves

That was mine for the Steam version of Mass Effect 1.

1/26/2010 11:23:12 PM

I'm a infiltrator.

I love freezing my targets and watching them shatter into a million pieces

1/27/2010 12:51:23 AM

^^Yeah, I found the saves roughly 15 seconds after I posted. I imported my level 46 soldier, so my gameplay will be rather straightforward: tank and shoot big guns.

"Wow from reading these reviews, i am not sure i want to buy this game anymore. Sounds just like a new "Halo" run and gun type game now with few "choices" added to it as an attempt to label it a RPG."

It's just as much an RPG as the first Mass Effect, without the cumbersome and retarded inventory/loot system (really, this gun maker makes 10 different types of the same gun? I mean, really?!).

Played it for about 9 straight hours so far

I heard a rumor that you can select a new weapons class during the main mission within the game. Is this true? If so I may keep my infiltrator and get the shotgun this way.

1/27/2010 1:03:27 PM

I liked all the customization options from ME1 that are absent from this game. Just four places to put skill points is pretty weak.

And am I crazy, or is there no place to toggle Sheppard's helmet on and off when he's walking around planets and talking to people?

Yep. I was about 20 hours in and I was given the opportunity to choose a specialization which allowed me to pick which weapon I wanted to add. I'm not sure what triggered it to be honest though.

1/27/2010 10:34:36 PM

I don't know if it was posted, but:

haha i got the doctor drunk and now she's passed out.

1/28/2010 12:00:11 AM

^haha yeah i got drunk with the doctor too...

1/28/2010 12:02:23 AM

i made a toast to the joker.

1/28/2010 12:06:20 AM

Heh, and then the screen gets all wonky after you're done drinking.

1/28/2010 12:06:34 AM

haha I found a Turian peeing in the Dark Star Lounge while i'm puking on the floor.

Was I supposed to ask that Quarian chick from last game if she would join me?

1/28/2010 10:52:32 AM

I asked her and she blew me





















off

1/28/2010 10:56:02 AM

So...people out there with pre-order armors (blood dragon, collectors, terminus) do you actually use these?

Personally I like the N7 armor (and customizations) so much I just use that instead. I like being able to see my characters face (especially renegade so far) and not being able to turn off those helmets annoys me a bit.

Also, Collector rifle FTW

1/28/2010 11:11:45 AM

Yeah I got a big problem with the helmets...the armor is cool but I feel like goddamn Boba Fett with my helmet on all the time

So I'm mainly just using the default N7 suit since I like to see my grill whenever I tell someone to shut the hell up

1/28/2010 11:14:18 AM

I got the Terminus armor and am using it. I feel like the bonuses of the N7 are better though, since I don't know what "+10% Storm" and the other bonus it gives are.

I remade my character's face, but it doesn't match the voice at all and it annoys the shit out of me. I probably should have just restarted the game, but I didn't feel like going through the 15 minutes or w/e of initial cutscenes that you can't skip. Now I'm like 2 hours in so I definitely can't restart so the constant helmet action kinda helps that.

I haven't used the blackhole gun yet though.

What do you people think of the new planetary exploration/scanning thing? Seems like a pointless minigame of how efficiently you can scan a planet. I've just been doing a grid where I pull the trigger to do a very short scan and look for any spikes on the radar. Then I move the circle 1 space down and pull the trigger again. It takes awhile, but I figure the research rewards should be good.

Kinda like this, where it takes 5 circles to go from the north pole to the south pole of any given planet.

OOOOOOO
OOOOOOO
OOOOOOO
OOOOOOO
OOOOOOO

The scanning, I'll agree, is a little tedious, but at least you're working towards something with it this time around rather than want to throw your controller at the TV when the MAKO couldn't make it up that last hill to get the pointless ore in ME1.

I love the new hacking and bypass systems...dont have to have an engineer in my party anymore

1/28/2010 11:52:55 AM

I don't even bother scanning a planet unless it's either rich or has an anomaly. The scanning upgrade makes it go much quicker.

1/28/2010 12:03:33 PM

I used the black hole gun a few times and found it really useful for clearing out large spaces with heavy cover quickly. I use the Terminus armor for now, but once I get enough upgrades for the N7, I'm going to switch back (I agree with the annoyance of not being able to see Shepherd's face). I also enjoy the hacking a lot more this time around.

I dunno, I've gone through the Archangel and Doctor story lines so far, and while I really like the game so far, the story and dialogue does feel a little thinner than the first Mass Effect. Not as emersive, I suppose. Still a lot of fun thus far... costing me a lot of sleep.

1/28/2010 12:16:48 PM

Just Finished and it was a great game. I dunno about game of the year, but great. Only gripes I had were the ones already mentioned. Dialogue seems thinner, and personally I wish character power and such were a little more diverse.

1/28/2010 5:02:37 PM

Damn, what did you skip all the side missions or something? I got the game 3 days before it came out in stores and I've been playing it more per day than I care to admit and I haven't even started the main "push" yet.

BTW, everyone should make sure to probe Uranus. Shit's hilarious.

1/28/2010 5:28:55 PM

I wish I had bought ME1 instead of renting it through Gamefly...I mean I kept it long enough to beat it with 2 different classes, and I made some different storyline choices on each one so I'll have a couple nice saves to import, but I'd like to be able to pop it in and screw around with it a little to get ready for ME2

also I was a fucking champ driving that Mako...probably because you have to drive it so fucking much, but I was a damn master at knowing which angles to take and which hills weren't passable

1/28/2010 6:27:05 PM

When do you get to wear the preorder armor and shit?

1/28/2010 10:18:40 PM

Immediately

"There have been some CRAZY rumors floating around about EA seeking to sign a deal with MTV's Jersey Shore cast in an effort to put them in some future DLC. The premise centers around the Jersey Shore cast being pretty upset over the fact that Flux Nightclub was not re-built after Saren's attack on the Citadel. They feel that Afterlife and Dark Star Lounge and don't provide the fist pumping and partying atmosphere that the original Flux nightclub had. Plus Flux had gambling just like Atlantic City! They call in the help of Shepard and the DLC starts off from there. Supposedly there is a love triangle between Shepard and Sammi which causes Ronnie to get in a rumble with Shepard. Shepard helps locate the latest DJ equipment so Paulie D can spin his fist pumping beats. Shepard even kicks the a$$ of some Turian that punches Snookie in the face. Another mission supposedly involves Sheppard stopping a pink eye outbreak in the Citadel curtosey of Vinnie. The Situation and J-Wow are also set to have missions and Shepard will also search the galaxy for the missing Angelina. All this action for a reported 800MS! Should be sweet! Can't wait to see if Flux is rebuilt!"

1/29/2010 12:46:35 PM

96% score on Metacritic. Haven't paid full price for a game in awhile (last one was C&C3 in 2007, and horrible QA issues in that game made me regret it). Just finished downloading today. Will finish ME1 with my lvl60 and then see what happens in ME2 shortly.

1/29/2010 7:15:06 PM

i'm enjoying it so far. i really like the QTEs in conversations. combat seems to work much better than ME1 too.

1/29/2010 7:27:25 PM

I would insta-buy Jersey Shore DLC no joke

1/29/2010 7:31:28 PM

You queers need to stop fagging up this thread with stupid ass Jersey Shore shit.

1/29/2010 8:40:00 PM

^so did you pay for a game this time?

1/29/2010 10:36:18 PM

^I would have to wager no since he's been playing it before launch.

1/29/2010 11:46:19 PM

I found this face online and just had to use it.




Let off some Steam, Bennet!

He's going to go full renegade, and will end up looking more and more like the Terminator.
