Re: Mass Effect 2

Just a reminder: the gametrailers tv episode with all the Mass Effect stuff is on 12:30am eastern.

Spike HD is horrible.

It's nice seeing the different ammo actually do something. Shepard froze a guy then knocked him over and the guy shattered.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Those charge attacks look awesome. Definitely going to have to play through as a vanguard at least once.

Re: Mass Effect 2

My first character was a Vanguard so I can't wait to go through it. The new powers look great.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Vanguard definitely looked awesome. Combat overall just looks so polished.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Some info from OXM:

• Stats don't affect aiming anymore. Bullets go precisely where you aim them. "Your character's stats support the improved feel of combat while providing more tactile effects on gameplay."
• Inventory system is replaced by entirely new systems. You can customize your armor, select components such as helmets and shoulder pads piece by piece, then choose material and color combinations to create the exact look you want.
• Your old love interest will NOT be in your squad! Because you're going on a "suicide" mission, some of your party members may die, and they want the romance to carry on through the entire trilogy if you so choose.

Possible spoiler, but if you watched GTTV this was talked about a little bit.

Spoiler

Shepard gets a facelift. That spooky image they released before Halloween? Shepard undergoes extensive reconstructive surgery at some point in the game (probably early on). Your skin will heal up nicely through the game if you're paragon, but will fester and swell if you're a renegade.

Re: Mass Effect 2

One of the Bioware guys said that it's not happening, I can't find a link right now though.

Ahh...I see. Oh well, Gamestop it is I guess, if you want the armor//weapon.

This sounds really good. The depth of story was already great, but the added touches and polishing of the combat should really make things awesome. Can't wait!

Re: Mass Effect 2

Gametrailers has some more videos:

The Illusive Man--- People on the Mass Effect forums said this was Martin Sheen and on the gametrailers tv show I didn't think that it sounded like him but it sounds alot like him in this clip.

More Vanguard gameplay

BioWare teased on their twitter some time back that they had a major actor in doing the voice of one of the characters. They also mentioned how the actor was nearly 70. Considering the voice and the fact that Sheen is a major actor and he's 69, it seems to fit.

Euro box art: http://kotaku.com/5406137/europe-did...box-art-either

Also horrible I think. Hopefully I'll be able to get the LE.

[Sandman42]

Re: Mass Effect 2

I might get the LE just so I don't have to look at that awful box art.

That's a good idea.

Re: Mass Effect 2

I'd get the LE even if the cover art for the normal was good. Anything ME is a must buy for me. Even that crappy ME iPhone game.
