Mass Effect 2

Re: Mass Effect 2

I always play soldiers/warriors/fighters in games and never feel like I'm getting a second class playing experience.

Same here. I see why people are saying it's second rate class as you are more of a plowing through tank. Some enjoy it that way more than sitting behind cover using magic/biotics.

Neither way is wrong. I always go soldier/warrior and than mess with the others later for a different experience.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Well I'm playing through Mass Effect again. I'm about 4 hours in playing as a female soldier. I love Jennifer Hale (Bastila FTW)

I was reminded just how fantastic this story is- I can't wait to get ME2! This would make an incredible movie someday...

I personally don't want a ME movie, to be honest. The game itself has a huge cinematic scope as it is, plus there's no one "true" story out of the many you can inherit. Something also tells me that whatever filmmaker inherits the story may turn it into a Trek clone if not personally attached to the story and characters. Maybe someone with a good record of good sci-fi such as Joss Whedon could direct...Serenity/Firefly has a lot of similarities to the ME series, after all...

IMDB lists a "Mass Effect" as being in development for 2012, so I'm officially scared: http://us.imdb.com/title/tt1482455/

Re: Mass Effect 2

i wont believe it until it's in theaters. just like the Halo movie that keeps getting talked about for years now which IMDB also happens to have listed as a 2012 release.

I would really like to see JJ. Abrams do the movie. I feel like he would do a great job with the space battles and everything else. It would end up being a very very long movie.

Another potentially good director would be Neil Blomkamp from District 9. That would be an interesting rendition.

Re: Mass Effect 2

District 9 feel would be great. That is how the game is more than a Star Trek feel imo. The universe seems like a dirty, corrupt place. And I would love to see the takes on the ambassador and such. But I don't want to see a copy of a past sci fi movie.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Spoiler

I'm not ready to have any characters die on me. I've grown too attached to them throughout the game, and if any of them were to die, not only would I be missing out on great achievement points, I think I'd be destroyed for a week. Pathetic, yes, but you can credit that to some pretty great characterization and writing. Usually Schindler's List and Let The Right One In can only do something like that to me.

So I've been upgrading everything in sight, hoping everything works out. Although from what I've heard, that may not mean anything when posed with the "crucial decisions" I still don't know much about. I wonder if the loyalty missions you perform has anything to do with it. Oh well, it won't be long before I find out.

Spoiler

I thought that was part of the point?
The loyaty mission do have something to do with it but that's not everything.

Some enjoy it that way more than sitting behind cover using magic/biotics.

You can do both with all the other classes but the Soldier doesn't even get bioitcs or tech,well gets one eventually but not to the extent of other classes. Doesn't help that 2 of the other classes also get a time slowdown ability tacked onto to their exsisting ones. Not saying they're no good,they do have high damage output,it's just that you're only getting the shooting like that.

BTW...Vanguards don't use cover

Re: Mass Effect 2

^too bad you can't do that with a legit copy/install of the game. that video was made with a modded .ini file that eliminated cooldown times.

I had fun with my vanguard though. to me it's the most fun class in ME2. Sentinel was the easiest to get through Insanity though. they are tanks in ME2.

I was just gonna say I didn't realize Vanguard was that bad *** lol...now I know it's not quite that awesome. I can't imagine fighting like that on any somewhat higher level, you'd get smoked hardcore.

this is more of what you'll see as a vanguard on Insanity

Re: Mass Effect 2

Idea is still the same.

Then there's this...

Everyone else has to go right or left (well not the Infiltrator,they can stay in the window supposedly),straight up the middle for Vanguard.

[Solidice]

Re: Mass Effect 2

yeah, I tried to do that with my vanguard, I got killed. lol

I wasn't as lucky as he was, when I did that, all the other geth enemies spawned around there and I was trapped and slaughtered.

[Cyros]

Re: Mass Effect 2

Yeah, I was sitting there wondering why none of the Geth spawned on either side.
