Re: Mass Effect 2

Re: Mass Effect 2

I have not been able to put this game down. No matter how much i try to detach myself i find myself saying "i gotta see what happens next" lol. Next to Metal Gear this has to be the most gripping and engaging story I have ever played in a videogame. Hats off to BioWare for going above and beyond with this. My life is over lol.

This game has that kind of effect on you. Wait untill you start recruiting/missions and it really takes off. Early nod for GOTY perhaps?

Engineer.
Sentinel to some extent but that's on the overpowered side. Had an easier time with that on Insanity than I did Vanguard on Easy.

I did:

Infiltrator on Veteran)
Adept on Hardcore (slightly regretful choice considering the shiedls/barriers/armor you have to wear down to use your abilities)
Solider on Insanity (I need to finish this playthrough).

Yes, this is the best source. Just make sure not to click on any of the ME2 links so you don't ruin the experience.

All three were imported from Mass Effect and I kept the classes consistent:

Vanguard
Adept
Sentinel

I might go through the game yet again with an Infiltrator since it's completely different from anything I've used in either game.

Watching that comic is cool and all but it seems to lack the emotion of some of the decisions.

Like for example, the rachni queen. If I never played the first one and just went by the comic then I would have no problem killing her based on how the comic is set up.....

But when I played the game and ran into her it was more emotional and you feel a little bad about her situation.

I strongly recommend you PS3 users goin to YouTube and watching the sequences that the comic tells you about to at least see the emotion of the story and decisions.


Sent from me, duh.

The ones that notfiy the codex has been updated? You're supposed to read them in there.

Plus the comic leaves out options. Like never even meeting Wrex or Garrus.

ahh thanks.

i didnt know what those were.


another question, oh and thanks for the inputon the 'class' choices u guys have made. still deciding as a do an early run to get used to the controls, how do I access all the Cerberus Network DLC as well as the Bonus missions?
i donloaded and installed all, but not sure if the missions get intertwined in to the story or where to get the weapons/armor/vehicles or Zaeed.

oops, actually i was just playing again and it wasnt a codex thing.
it was STILL super fast, but i caught a glimpse, it said something about 30 headshots i think.

Re: Mass Effect 2

That's just a notification of what in-game challenges you've done. It's a feature in the Unreal Engine, it's not anything important.

jmood, thanks.

wow there is a TON of content as far as codex's go.
has anyone read all of it?

[jmood88]

Re: Mass Effect 2

Yeah I've read all of it. The voice-over in the primary codex entries is really well done too.

yes, love the VO.

in FFXIII the data was put into a log as you came across it, which made it easier to read as it was coming in one at a time.

its a bit overwhelming, but i figured it'd be best to just sit back and read it all before i dive into the game, since I am new to the game/universe.
