Just watched someone playing the first hour of the game online. Fucking awesome. (I don't mind spoilers, never have.)

I'm itching for next Friday. Can't come soon enough.

(Half-jealous of you BoB, but on the other hand, I've ordered the CE, so I'm happy (ish) to wait for all the goodies. Also, you won't have access to the free Cerberus Network content, which includes a new squad mate, amongst lots of other stuff.)
 
there is a reloaded release out for the pc version ( it is however 14gb )

I think i may just wait.....

Read a review yesterday in the magazine 360 , it gave it 5/5 , says the combat is more akin to gears of war 2 now , if so this could well be a truly special game
 
was working late, and then went off to do more stuff so didnt boot it up, but got a mate over tonight to chill so will stick it on then :)
 
:D

The first comic is included in the Collector's Edition. I'll likely read it while I install the 2 dvds to my HDD next Friday :D
 
OMG I just found a version that has all the languages except english ripped out , all movies and everything else are in tact and its only 4.34gb. :cool:


Just installed it....

Thats my weekend gone :D
 
Playing on 360. I've just picked up Mordin and have headed out of the galaxy onto the next quest.

First impressions are that the weapons feel better, the sniper rifle may get used more than last time and the upgrades are much more user friendly.

Combat is better, it feels more responsive, squad members are on auto-powers and they are using them more often.

Dialog is smoother, the responses you can give seem more individually tailored.

Pretty good game imo.

I also started playing Uncharted 2 yesterday and I have to say, it's the only game where I find the story to be of filmic quality, say a good Indiana Jones. The story in ME2 is good but it just doesn't seem to flow between all the characters, there is a relational element missing imo. Talk to this character, get info, go there. Uncharted 2 suffers from this too at times but at its best it flows and you can just enjoy the story.
 
ok so been playing for about 20 mins and first impressions are good , lovley visuals , combat does feel a lot better than in ME1 , audio is great , its just soo Mass effect so i loves it , my only concern is lack of gamepad support for the pc version . I have found a link to somewhere unofficial that does have a 360 pad mapping utility ( or its already done for you ) so I may try that in a bit.

however im back off to the terminus system :o :D
 
About 12 hours in now , im not worried about using a gamepad as using keyboard and mouse is working really well :)

Still loving it and without giving away any spoilers its nice to encounter some old faces.

If you havent played the first game , go get it and play it first as it will make you feel much more immersed...
 
I've not played ME - not sure how this happened as it looks right up my alley. Should I both or should I just dive straight in with ME2? Can see that some things carry over between the two, but not sure it justifies buying the 1st and playing through.

Edit: Scratch this, have been swayed by VP's ealier posts and have bought it. Just waiting for Steam to download it and we're off!

:cool:
 
been playing this for about two hours or so now, cinematic as ever, though I'm getting annoyed at the lack of dialogue options challenging Cerebrus on their racism and how the story arc has become much more human centric compared to the last one.

Also just found out there is no possibility of same sex relationships so apparently my hot fem Shep will either remain pure or have to touch cock, all joking aside this is quite a large step backwards from a games company that has never shied away from such things before eg Dragon Age Origins, Jade Empire etc and being a cynic I reckon it's cause they are looking to market ME2 at a wider more 'mainstream' audience or some such marketing shit.
 
Just finished it, was quite good. You can start it again using the same character. That might have been the case in the first one but I couldn't be arsed to finish the last boss battle so never found out.

I did import my character though so there were a lot of reference to things I'd chosen in the first game and I could see they were setting up stories for the third one.
 
how many hours have you clocked up ?

im on 29hrs atm and still have 2 spaces in my recruit slot and loads more exploring to do .

Still loving it :)

Probably not as many as that tbh. I don't bother with the dialog beyond what I have to and I didn't do much collecting. Just upgraded Shepard and the ship as much as possible then went through the Omega 4 gate. I bought my way through the upgrades I wanted, sticking to the machine gun and sniper rifle and upgrading biotics to the max. I took biotics people with me on missions and got them to back me up whilst I did the shooty bits.

Wonder how VP is getting on. Probably won't see her for a few weeks yet.
 
Ran out and bought it this morning, struggling a bit to get to grips with combat right now but enjoying it and I'm sure I'll get the hang of it soon. I imported a character (paragon femShep) from the first game (oh and thanks to whoever on here suggested I might like it!), evidently that's been causing some people problems if they didn't sit through the credits at the end of ME, as apparently it saves your character right at the end and not a moment before, thankfully I'm a bit anal about sitting through endless credits scrolling up the screen :o
 
Well I'm loving it so far, there are details from my previous game strewn about the place, nothing major as yet (I haven't got very far into it) but just lots of little details concerning previous decisions embedded all over the place, which is great in terms of immersion into the new game.

I'm having a bit of bother with the new 'interrupt' dialogue feature atm - because I rely on full subtitles I can easily miss the interrupt signal flash up at the side of the screen, having a hearing problem I do actually need to concentrate on the subtitles which leaves less room for looking at the side of the screen - I am sure I will get used to it though.

I assume that everyone else who may be interested in this thread is busy playing it... which is what I am now going back to after a short break. Loving it so far :D

Oh is that why? It crashed when I tried to import my ME1 character. I'm guessing then that all the references to the first game were generic ones that everyone gets. I'm gonna go back and finish the first game and do the credits and try it again. Thanks for that.

I'm going to have to do the same with my renegade manShep, I wasn't anal enough to sit through the credits on the second playthrough!
 
Finished it last night with 37hrs being clocked up ( im sure theres a few missions i havne t found cos i got bored scanning )

Thoroughly enjoyed it , will prolly have another bash and change my career. But its got to be one of the most polished and engrossing sci-fi stories ( on any medium ) ive encountered :cool:

I never found any missions by scanning planets and god knows I scanned a few. I even had a system. Start right at the very top line on a planet, rotate it 360 degrees then move to the next line. Each planet took about 15 mins to scan. I was using 30 probes a planet doing that and getting loads of resources but I never found a mission.

Post up the planets and systems if you get chance please, would be appreciated. :)
 
blimey , il need to jot them down on my next playthough.

As soon ( if not before you scan when you enter orbit ) a big ' ANOMALY FOUND' should appear then you follow the instructions to find it then launch a probe and you should be able to land :)
