Re: Mass Effect 2

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.

Thanks chefdad. So there is no right or wrong in doing missions/sidequest?

It doesn't seem like it to me.

Re: Mass Effect 2

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

Just pick it up off the ground. Also if you see any of the weapong changer things opening up those refills your ammo.

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

If your second time is on a harder difficulty play as Vanguard first and Infiltrator second.

There IS but you won't learn anything if I just tell you.

Re: Mass Effect 2

I played the demo last night on ps3 for this and it seemed a little over whelming for me. I've never played any of the previous games, but read all the reviews and stuff so I somewhat knew what to expect. They tried explaning the story, but i felt lost with it. Also on the demo I keep on killing and killing the same people and didnt advance on the one part where they keep coming out of the door. I'm not giving up on the game just now have a few quetions

Would it be better to buy this game new or used? The new game comes with the comic book feature right?

Will the story and everything make more sesne if I start from the start of mass effect 2?

My friend was telling me about fallout 3 for ps3, are they kinda similar and style of play?

Will the story and everything make more sesne if I start from the start of mass effect 2? I'm thinking no. I went through the DLC comic, and started from the beginning and I'm still kinda lost on the story.

My friend was telling me about fallout 3 for ps3, are they kinda similar and style of play? Yes and no, the one obvious is FO3 is in first person and ME2 is 3rd.

I liked fallout 3's style a little better. It was an open world but the game was much more straight forward and had better ambience.

ME2 so far has been a little overwhelming with all the different weapons/upgrades/teammates etc..

I liked how in FO3 they had ratings on weapons/armor. So you knew which were the most powerful. In ME2 it's like a guessing game. You get a new weapon but don't exactly know if it's better for a certain characture or not. The one thing the 2 have in common though are they are both considered Shooter RPG.s.

My opinion in bold.

My opinion in bold.

Thanks for the help and it sounded like you said what I was thinking. The games I like are pretty simple concept like uncharted,mafia and resistance. I'm not saying I wouldnt like this I just think I'm gonna hold off for now.

You can play FO3 in 3rd person.
FO3 only has guns and melee though,no throwing out biotics or anything like that. There's no cover system like in ME either.

Project Overlord.

Wow. No shortage of "ambience" during that mission. But make sure you have your surround sound on and cranked up.

Hm. Did a Renegade run with a female Shepard. Fun. But even though I sold myself to it, I don't like giving TIM the Collector Base. But I don't know, I wonder if it'll ahve a positive or negative effect on the world. Gotta admit, Mass Effect is the first game I can't wait for a sequel solely for the story.

Also, anyone know how much time you get after the Collectors take your crew so you can make sure to save everyone? I wanna make a 3rd run and not lose anyone on the Suicide Mission. I know I need everyone to be Loyal and have to go ASAP. But I tried to position things so I could take care of everyone's Loyalty mission by getting the Reaper IFF just before I recruited Tali (I also kinda wanted to see how the quarians react to Legion). But I had Tali's Loyalty mission left before the Collectors came and took everyone.

I wasn't sure if I had the time, so I immediately went after the crew. Could I have done that Loyalty mission and still have time to save everyone?

Re: Mass Effect 2

The Reaper IFF is what triggers the countdown, do everyone's loyalty mission before you get it or the crew will die if you do missions after getting it

Re: Mass Effect 2

about loyalty

Spoiler

I dont know if you have to have everyone's loyalty...I didnt have Jack's, Zaeeds, Legions, or the assassin's loyalty but Legion is the only person I lost in the last mission

I believe you have time for 1 mission after the IFF. I usually use that 1 mission to do Legion's loyalty mission.
