Re: Mass Effect 2

The demo for this game is sooooo good. I should have never played it because now I'm itchin' for the full game. Gonna try to cop it tomorrow hopefully.

They came out with a demo? On the 360?

Yup. You get to play what I think is the beginning of the game and another early part. It's a pretty good length of playing time too.

Also, you can set up your Shephard and the decisions you make in the demo will carry over to the retail version if you want to carry the demo save over.

Oh wow that's cool.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Anyone get the Overlord DLC? Is it an hour long like the rest of them?

I played it but in 3 sittings so I'm not sure how long it was. I enjoyed it though.

ME2 is so much more enjoyable post patch, it doesnt take 20 minutes to mine a planet!

What is different about the patch?

I beat ME2 in the first 2 weeks and haven't picked it back up since. Mostly because I don't want to go through the mining process again.

The reticle is really wide and moves extremely fast. The only problem with it going so fast is that you'll sometimes pass by a spot with a lot of minerals but it's much better than it was before the patch.

Yep, can't wait. Loved the first two books.

Same here, though not just because of the mining. I don't know what it is, but I haven't been able to get myself to play ME2 at all. Surprising considering the hours poured into 4 or 5 runs through ME1, when ME2 is that much better.

You know, I kind of have that going on too. For me at least, I was more engaged in ME1's story than ME2. ME2's felt shallow overall. Now, the character development was definitely better...I'm just talking the main arc/plot of the story. ME2 just seemed a bit disjointed (and yes, I know that was at least partially due to the intended pacing, etc).

With that said, ME2 is on my short list of awesome for 2010, and might be my GOTY. So if they have a more engaging story to go along with all the improvements ME2 brought along, ME3 will be damn near perfect IMO.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Finally, I got the game. Bought it a few hours ago from EB Games. About to get started playing now.

I messed up big time though because I grabbed a new copy and was ready to pay for it and the guy asked me, "Would you like to buy a used one instead?". So thinking to myself, "Yeah, I guess I'll save a couple of bucks" I bought the used copy instead. But now as I open up the case I just remembered buying used means I have to pay to get the Cerberus Network thing. ****!!

EDIT: On second thought, the Cerberus Network isn't neccessarily needed if I'm just starting the game, right? If not, I'm just gonna start a game up now and then go to EB tomorrow and ask to exchange for a new copy and pay the extra money for it.

Damn I hate this world of pre-order exclusives and being punished for buying used games.

Re: Mass Effect 2

The Cerberus Network gets you some free goodies. I forget what exactly, but buying the new copy does come with some pretty good benefits.

Plus I don't think I can download any DLC without it, which is pretty stupid. But yeah, I'm just gonna go back to EB tomorrow and pay the extra couple bucks to get a new copy instead. This way I don't have to pay $15 just to download DLC.

Anyways, just finished putting in close to 2 hours in this game. About half of it was stuff I already experienced in the demo but was still awesome. I'm hoping my Shephard gets to hook up with Miranda.
