Mass Effect 2

I loved it too.

As far as improvements for #2 I'd like more crap in the gameworld too, and in city-type areas, make the interactive spots more condensed, and more of it.

I'd like a better inventory system and a better economy. If were going to be in the mako again, make upgrades something you can purchase. Make buying stuff mean more, maybe giving clothes and weapons more creative 'perks'. Borrow from fallout a bit and have some colonies 'lawless'

Some of it did seem to take a little from total recall, but they could 'borrow' even more, like venus-ville (chick w/ the 3 cans lol) and there were things that you should have been able to use but couldn't (like computers)

put in a better melee attack like a good, solid, punch to the face. a la RE5.

The game was flat out awesome though and had the most creative characters i've ever seen (the gorilla/elephant hybrid that declares its intonation before it speeks!)

Isn't there supposed to be additional DLC for the first game? I've gone through it twice, good and evil, and have the "Bring Down the Sky" pack and was planning on going through it a third time to set up my character for ME2.

Easily one of my most anticipated titles, though. I loved the first one.

EA: No concrete information on Mass Effect 2 at GDC09

Quote:

EA has told videogaming247 that “there won’t be any concrete information provided on the Mass Effect franchise” at this year’s GDC09. The company was referring to the CMPEvents listing that revealed two of BioWare’s developers are holding an hour-long seminar entitled, ‘The Iterative Level Design Process of Bioware’s Mass Effect 2′ at the conference this year. “Bioware has always stated that Mass Effect would be a trilogy,” a senior company representative told us today. “This GDC event is an academic panel, but there won’t be any concrete information provided on the Mass Effect franchise other than what has been outlined on the GDC website.” Last night, EA confirmed to VG247 that rumours pertaining to a PS3 port of the original game were “inaccurate.”

Coming next year

Quote:

BioWare's Mass Effect 2 and a sequel to DICE's Battlefield: Bad Company will arrive in the first three months of 2010, Electronic Arts CEO John Rictiello has revealed. Ricitiello appeared to confirm a multi-platform release for Mass Effect 2 in today's conference call, suggesting that it will hit both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 at launch. The first Mass Effect was a console exclusive for Xbox 360, trailed by a PC release a few months later. BioWare has suggested the sequel may follow that model. The Battlefield: Bad Company sequel will presumably follow in the footsteps of the console-only original, which hit PS3 and Xbox 360 in the summer of 2008. Both games will be released during the fourth quarter of the publisher's 2010 fiscal year, which runs from January 1 to March 31.

So far way... but at least we have a release window.

Thanks for the update Flawless.

So it looks like I'll occupy my early 2010 with a definitive, final, playthrough of 'Mass Effect', prepping my Shepard for ME2.

It's mentioned again that any saved game, you should be able to carry that over to Mass Effect 2. They talk about how Mass Effect 2 will have a darker tone. The choices you make in Mass Effect will carry through the entire trilogy (multiple endings and alternate versions). Also, a Fight Club (Arena) is the next DLC for the original Mass Effect.

Mass Effect is in my top 5 games of all time.
I sold my 360 for a PS3, but I'm seriously thinking about getting one back and finishing this game again, just so I can continue the game through Part 2 and 3.
