MASS EFFECT 2

So, this very month, the sequel to Biowares narrative juggernaut is releasing in stores, on steam, in back alleys, etc. My question is, who is getting it? Who loved the first one? Which version are you getting? I'd just like this to be a little thread discussing what is sure to be one of the top titles of this year. The games cutscenes are more cinematic, the graphics are better, the combat has received a massive update and is more physics involved than the original. Relationships are said to have been overhauled as well, it seems that you need to take a little more care in who you knock cold, and who you have wet slippery Kirk on alien sex with. A few more things to point out:

-The story must be longer, now has 2 discs
- Environments are even more distinct, no more generic tunnels or landscapes to explore
- Ship now uses fuel so you must be smart about where you travel
- Weapons now take ammo, not sure on the specifics
- New "candy" weapons are added like RAWKET LAWNCHAIR
- Biotic powers have been overhauled
- New classes
- New looks for custom Shepard
- The story from your ME1 game transfers over to ME2, who you killed, who you saved and whatnot
- The story will include more characters from the two ME Books, Revelation and Ascension
-This game will be awesome beyond belief

I'm going to get it. I remember liking the first one a lot even though it had a lot of flaws. Supposedly all of those flaws are fixed so it should be just wonderful.

Same. I liked the first one even though the car driving was awful.

Erm so yeah should be good. Not liking the whole DLC thing though, I mean why can't they just let us have it a week later anyway.

for those PC players upset about the DLC already planned before the games release, remember
1. They want to hit the release date, they probably couldnt do that if they finished up the DLC.
2. So far, for the PC all ME DLC has been completely free, just downloaded bringing down the sky not too long ago

Want. NOW.

The first one was one of the best storylines I've ever experienced. Cannot. Wait.

I wonder if they have some options to choose how Shephard did in ME1, because I have no saves of it on my new computer...

Want want want want want.

:3 Nothing more to say. I'd be interested to find out what the whole thing regarding Shephard dying in ME2 is about, especially as ME was planned as a triology. Dunno if anyone else has heard that though. But yeah, can't wait; played ME1 through 4 times hehe.

Should be interesting. As you said it's a triology and so they must have planned for a new character to play as in ME3 since they said it'll carry on. Maybe they'll go down the clone route.

I really enjoyed the first one, only things I disliked was; vehicles driving(steering was a pain), look-alike weapons/armor/environment, and a few little things . I can understand the look alike objects when a game is so big, it's hard to make all new content for every single place.
Have a question related to modding or something I posted? Something that needs staff attention? I haven't been active lately, but feel free to PM me or message me on Steam(link below)
