Re: Mass Effect 2

Jealous of those getting to play it right now for the first time. That opening scene where you are walking around in the blown up Normandy and can look up into space gave me chills the first time I saw it.

Re: Mass Effect 2

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.

I agree. I think if you haven't played the first game, best thing to do is either watch the cutscenes on YouTube or purchase the PC version which has been going for $10. The first game is worth going through as I've gone through it once on 360 and a bit on the PC. The comic book does a decent job, but not good enough to fill those in that missed out. Too bad Bioware couldn't bring the first game to the PS3 with enough changes to sneak it in. Oh well.

Re: Mass Effect 2

I looked through how long I played through the game with each of my Shepard's and I've played over 147 hours and I just started a new character.

Re: Mass Effect 2

I know the feeling, I'm on my fourth playthrough ME2 (setting up my main guy for the third) and have a Renegade Soldier fem-Shep I just finished for the second time (again, to set up).

I then have a new creation, and Adept fem-Shep, that I beat ME1 with a couple weeks back still on tap.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Am I the only one that has a tough time being a Renegade?

Ive finished the game on renegade but it didnt feel right lol

Re: Mass Effect 2

Yeah I made a character that was supposed to just be renegade but he ended up just being middle of the road. I'm gonna try to make this new character a renegade though.

I am like that as well. I finished the 360 version so on the PS3 version I made my character look like Bruce Willis. So as Bruce says if the moment says to smack ya, I smacks ya..but other than that I play the more traditional hero type.

BTW the PS3 version has made me realize while Miranda is still virtually hot Kasumi (whom I didn't have on the 360 version) is AWESOME! I understand from a story perspective why she may not be up to a romance, but I wish they had put the option in their. I love her one-liners when you talk to her.

It's so rare that I replay a game (only Batman AA and DA in the last few years) that I have finished, much less enjoy it just as much..well maybe more since I am taking my time now.

Re: Mass Effect 2

I played through Mass Effect 2 for the first time in September and loved every second of it. Jealous of you guys that are playing for the first time.

Spoiler

I played the last mission and had a few people die that I would rather not die. I.E. Garrus and the one masked purple girl, (I feel bad referring to her like this but it's been awhile and I forgot her name and her race xD.) At first I really wanted to play through again knowing what I know and use my second character for when ME3 releases. But now I'm thinking it would feel better if I lived with the choices I made and the crew members that died. Is anyone else using their very first character and sticking with the consequences?

It wouldn't matter what character I used. My Sheppard is a beast and no one on my crew dies! Keep it 100.
