Re: Mass Effect 2

Man everything looks great but this is the closest I've seen a game come to looking like a movie.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Mass Effect comic is coming. Mass Effect: Redemption. This is going to be a comic about the events leading up to Mass Effect 2.

The story is written by BioWare's Lead Writer Mac Walters, scripted by John Jackson Miller, and drawn by Omar Francia (Star Wars Legacy). The series will be released in four parts and examines the events leading up to Mass Effect 2. Walters and Francia will also be at Comic-Con to sign autographs on Friday between 4-5PM at the Dark Horse booth.

I'm getting it.

I just picked up the 2nd ME book to read while traveling on my vacation...looking forward to it, enjoyed the first one quite a bit as well.

At first I wasn't as grabbed as by the first one in the beginning but it was a great read once I really got into it and perhaps deeper than the first one. It gives very good information about the Mass Effect universe.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Just finished playing through it. Very awesome. I'm going to fire up a new playthrough and try to hit some of the side missions. I feel like I rushed through it the first time. I'm going to be patient and marinate in it this second time around.

Yeah I played this game 4 times or so and even on the 4th I found a side mission I didn't find before.

Re: Mass Effect 2

4 part interview with Casey Hudson:


Part 1

In part one we cover Mass Effect 2's development cycle, lessons learned about narrative pacing, and what's tucked away in your original Mass Effect save game.

Part 2

In part two we cover Mass Effect 2's revamped dialogue system, getting 'physical' in conversations, ethical nuances, and maintaining emotional intensity.

Part 3

In part three we cover Mass Effect 2's galaxy, making every world unique, artificial intelligence, squad behavior, and permanent death in the universe.

Part 4

In part four we cover Commander Shepard's level drop, the game's updated abilities, new vehicle attributes, the overhauled interface, and Casey explains why storytelling in at least some games doesn't suck.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Jump forward two years. Now you're playing Mass Effect 2, and oh my god, who's this, it's Conrad Verner! And based on what you've done, you realize that while the moment in the first game maybe seemed throwaway, now Conrad's back and involved in another plot in a game you're playing two years later...and what you did two years ago is meaningfully affecting what's happening. That's a small example.

I knew it, although that one was pretty obvious.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Horrible but hopefully the Limited Edition cover is better.

Agreed, I'm not liking it really either.
