Re: Mass Effect 2

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!

Also keep an eye on majornelson's blog, there have been several promotions run where they discounted the DLC by 50%.

Well it's really your choice. I seen it on ps3 and it really don't look a whole lot better than the 360 however there are noticable texture differences in certain environments. If you played already played for 360 and still have it then I would suggest 360.

What does it mean to scan planets for N7 missions? I've scanned a few unexplored planets and it looks like all I got was money or something.

I also notice there is like 2 or 3 different currencies. How do those work? I've noticed I'll have 50,000 of something to purchase an item or upgrade and then when I look to buy something else it'll say I only 2,500 of some other credit.

Trying to grasp all this stuff.

Re: Mass Effect 2

There are 3 different type of materials and you mine those when you are scanning the planets.

On some planets you will find an anomaly and you can then land on those planets and explore it. You will notice it and you scan until you find a white circle. The line in the scanning circle points to where it is located on the planet.

And that is what is used to purchase items/upgrades? So I imagine that for each type of upgrade they all require a different mineral?

I heard about there being a shuttle on the Normandy. Do I need that in order to land on those planets? Or can you land on them with the big "mothership".

I swear I read the instruction manual but it was quite vague on some these things.

Yes you are correct.

NO, you can just land. I think its X but it will tell you on the screen which to hit.

Hope this helps.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Hint: When you see the scene with the actual shuttle get your butt in gear.
You have it already. It's the load screen usually.

Each one does different things better,bit strange as these things are at least normally consistant.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Was there a patch that went out for the PS3 on this? I've heard there were some file corruption issues and freezing but I haven't experinced any and I don't remember DL'ing an update.

How do I get more ammo? I keep on running out half way through a mission.

Re: Mass Effect 2

I got some questions. If I plan on playing through at least twice, should I be Soldier or Vanguard or Infiltrator for my first playthrough?

I'm torn between Vanguard and Infiltrator by the way. ha

Re: Mass Effect 2

Just wondering if you guys recruit everyone before you do some of the side missions? I had to restart when my system died. Thanks in advance fellows.

I use infiltrator but I've only been playing for a little bit and I don't really know the differences of even if there are any to the other classes. It feels like no matter what the game would play the same way. But like i said I'm new to it so I don't really know.

I've been mixing up side missions while I'm recruiting. When I got garrus I did all the little side quests available in Omega. Then after I got him I went back to completed one more.
