Re: Mass Effect 2

Yes it's true.
PS3ers must be missing out on Conrad!

ME 2 on the 360 + DLing everything comes out to $54.

$20 for the game
$10 for Lair of the Shadow Broker (they really should start dropping DLC prices when the game does )
$7 for Kasumi
$7 for Overlord
$2 for extra outfits #1
$2 for extra outfits #2
$2 for extra weapons #1
$2 for extra weapons #2
$2 for extra weapons #3

You most certianly don't need the extra weapons or outfits either. Depending on your class and difficulty you might not even need guns period so you can save yourself the $10.

The best shotgun is free,the best SMG comes with Kasumi's DLC,best sniper is in the game,best AR is available in game,best pistol is in one of the extras but those are last resort at best.

yeah I don't care about outfits, guns maybe Sounds like the better deal is the 360 then, assuming there are no existing gameplay issues with the 360 that went unfixed that the PS3 doesn't have. I definitely want to continue what I've started in the first one if that's possible. Thanks!

Re: Mass Effect 2

The only glitches I remember seeing were good ones. One making what's normally a very difficult battle a lot easier and one for extra skill points. You really don't need the extra guns. I guess maybe you'd get them right away and it'd make things easier in the first half of the game.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Just back into this after a little over two weeks of not playing it.
Oh how i missed it.

Question about battle:

Your squadmates, will they do pretty good on their own, mixing up attacks without being given orders?
I am new to this game and sometimes its hectic and I just let them do what they want. lol

Plus, is it necessary to move them into positions with the d-pad or is that for special instances?

On easy and normal yes. You still have to watch their ammo types though. If they have an individual one and you're trying to use a squad one sometimes they switch to their own. Ex: Setting Jack's Warp ammo to squad and then Jacob switches to his own Incendiary. Not that you should ever use Jack and Jacob at the same time.

On veteran they'll need a few orders.

On hardcorde they'll need the d-pad and orders.

On insanity they're bullet shields/distractions.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Is there any way to pause the little windows that come up when you unlock something after a conversation or event? They come and go too fast and I can't read them. I got an upgrade for something and some new weapon but didn't know what they were cause I couldn't finish reading what they were for.

i asked earlier and was told they arent big deals.

he was right.

it will give u a notification when u gained a level, opened up a new journal entry, when a codex was added., etc, etc,
I've learned to just read the top part as it pops up.
thats the most important part.
but i do also think it should be on there a bit longer.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Just beat it. What a ride!

Spoiler

I had the Against All Odds ending. Only lost two people. Legion, who somehow got taken away by the bugs, which shouldn't have affected him since he was a friggin' robot but he was uninteresting, but then he was the last member I got on the crew for some reason. And Jack. Who, if you read my last post, wasn't loyal anyway and I decided she was a lost cause. Thankfully, the characters I liked the most, Samara, Kasumi, Tali, and Grunt all lived. As did the ones I was so-so about: Jacob, Mordin, Miranda.

I choose Tali as Shepard's...girl. I liked her personality. And accent.

I hated seeing Yeoman die like that. But I knew I choose right making Grunt be the ones to escort the doctor and the other survivors back.

I told the Illusive man to fornicate with himself and blew up the ship. Somehow, I knew that giving him all that power would turnout badly somehow. I don't know how...and I'll find out in my Renegade run I'm gonna do next, but I'm certain of it.

Nobody spoil that for me.

And is it just me or is Shadow Strike one of the best moves in the game? Nasumi made fighting Harbingers a breeze. Because you never really talk to her like anything but an NPC you see hanging around the Citadel or something, I thought she'd die. But I guess the game developers didn't have time to give her a full plate of conversation options for whatever reason.

Grunt made me jump up and cheer when he charged the Shadow Broker. And I cheered again when I punched the ugly freak in the face a few times.

You could've saved her.

Kasumi was DLC on the 360/PC so she wasn't as full of a character. Same with Zaeed. They can die. Everyone can,even Sheppard.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Re: Mass Effect 2

just did Kasumi's introductory mission, the party one.
WOW.

most fun I have had in a while.
after the stale missions of gta iv this was really fun and a breath of fresh air.
the scenery during the end mission battle is spectacular!
Doe the missions get even better?

Re: Mass Effect 2

A few more questions.

1. The galaxy map. I saw somewhere about acquiring fuel. I don't understand though. I don't see a fuel gauge anywhere. Do I use fuel as I move from one place to another on the galaxy map?

2.

Spoiler

On the mission to get professor mordic (sp? The fast talking doctor guy) there was some side mission or something that was about talking to aria in the club. However after I got the professor I wasn't allowed back out into that area to do that "quest" and they sent me back to my ship. Did I lose that chance or can i go back and see what it was all about?

Thanks

1. You don't use fuel going from planet to planet or using the mass effect relays, but you do use fuel going from system to system within a star cluster. Just go to the edge of a star system and you'll see.

2. You can, and will, go back down to Omega.

So there's more to the galaxy map then what I have actually seen? I've just seen the first part and headed to Omega get the Dr.

Yes...much more. As mentioned you only use fuel when you leave a system, and you will be able to see the fuel amount as it declines so you can decide when you need to refuel.
