Mass Effect 2 Discussion

[Kaiser Zero]

I though we had a topic about this but I searched and nothing...

For the two of us who care about this game pre-E3 video has popped up!

HE LIVES!!!!

[Urza Planeswalker]

...OMG THAT WAS WELL OK I SUPPOSE! I wanna see more. Still that is such an awesome teaser. Also epic mustache >_>.

[John Marston]

ZOMG! I was waiting for this thread to be made.. Seeing as I was too lazy!

LOVED The first mass effect I played the whole game like three times. >_> I bought the 20 dollar two disc special edition a few months ago. A great deal for only 20.

I hate the tease but it looks promising!

Btw... What's with the code before the vid? >_>

[Kaiser Zero]

It broke it TF doesn't like joystiq embeds.

But come E3 we get more info about it! So i'll be watching on G4 thats for sure.

[John Marston]

There's like a crap load of games I'll be looking at for E3 but that's another story. XD

But I do hope to see some gameplay footage at E3 and more info.

[Kaiser Zero]

It's getting closer to launch and now we have game play video and everything is oh so much better then the first! Not that the first was bad mind you, but you know what I mean.

Nine minutes of game play. (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/11/06/nine-straight-minutes-of-mass-effect-2-gameplay/)

I want this game NOW!

[John Marston]

I don't wanna spoil it for those who haven't seen the video but..

While it's nice to see Garrus I want to be able to use him in my party. Maybe later he rejoins.

[S.I.C]

OMG!!!!

that video was awesome!!!

okay but why did he faint after taking a drink? That was odd.....

anyways I can't wait to get this game!!!

[Kaiser Zero]

I think he was drugged or something but i'm sure that will be explained in the game. The clips look like random parts which is a good thing for me.

[Urza Planeswalker]

Well the footage is down now so I guess I waited too long but after seeing that preorder bonus from Gamestop. My interest in this new Mass Effect has peaked my rural interests indeed XD.

[Kaiser Zero]

Now I wanna play as an adept ;_; oh and someones back!! Clicky (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/11/27/mass-effect-2-vids-profile-tali-and-adept-class/)

[Urza Planeswalker]

YAY!!! I was hoping they'd bring that person back >_>. But seriously I wish I coulda seen the first nine minutes. I'm actually interested in this game more now xD.

[John Marston]

*yawn*

Let me know when they confirm Liara and Ashley.

[Kaiser Zero]

Another character is revealed here (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/12/01/bioware-reveals-samara-mass-effect-2s-biotic-bombshell/).

[Urza Planeswalker]

Oooh very awesome. They're really stepping up the Biotics this time XD.

[John Marston]

Whoa! Damn she's Powerful. I've never seen biotics used so viscerally.

[Kaiser Zero]

Okay a new class has been added and DAMN is it powerful. Meet the engineer class (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/12/07/new-mass-effect-2-trailer-showcases-the-engineer-class-and-its-k/).

[Urza Planeswalker]

HOLY CRAP THAT THING IS WAY OVERPOWERED! I mean daggone! It's awesome but if they don't let me switch classes I'll be all angry. Grrr :P

[John Marston]

Damn, looks like I won't be playing as a soldier next year. I mean the updates to the other classes are sexy as hell. Lol.

[Urza Planeswalker]

I don't know how to make fancy looking links but I thought this was awesome. VOICE ACTORS WHOO list (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/12/10/mass-effect-2-cast-bolstered-by-battlestar/) :D

[Kaiser Zero]

I saw the list and they did bring the star power that's for sure.

I might have to play as an engineer first just to kinda see how he plays.>_>

[Kaiser Zero]

Okay now I kinda wanna play as the sentinel (http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14235013/mass-effect-2/videos/masseffect2_trl_sentinel_121109.html).

[John Marston]

Dude add a poll to this thread!! >_> Truth be told I haven't mad up my mind as to which class I'll be using. I'll probably go back to soldier or stick with biotics since they've made them so badass this year.

[Kaiser Zero]

Meet the infiltrator class (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/12/22/sneak-a-peek-at-mass-effect-2s-infiltrator-class/). Nice power but compared to the others it kinda meh. Also the achievement (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/mass-effect-2/achievements/)list is up.

[S.I.C]

I got to say the infiltrator class is cool looking........he has a invisibility cloak!!!!!! but still I'll stick with the soldier class.....I just want to see a video of it >_< I bet it will be the same as in the first game but he will be trained in all the weapon elemtal types.

so who saw the full length cinamatic video yesterday?

......it was awesome!!!!!!!

[Kaiser Zero]

So now we know what we get with our ME1 saves.... And it's meh (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/12/26/mass-effect-2s-save-game-import-features-explained/).

[Urza Planeswalker]

AWW MAN so uncool and how can they not have new game plus again suddenly I feel a disturbance in the force. xD

[S.I.C]

a little closer look at Thane & Grunt

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xwEYL-zpeU&feature=player_embedded

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfWkSJsB1G0&feature=player_embedded

[Kaiser Zero]

I think I found my class!! The Vanguard (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/01/06/mass-effect-2-vanguard-class/)love the ability so for right now that might be my starter class!

Is it the 26th yet?

[John Marston]

I still love my Sentinel!! But that class no doubt looks fun!! :D

[S.I.C]

okay that was awesome!

but still I want to know aboutr the solider class!!!!!!!!!

say the best for last XD

[Kaiser Zero]

You asked about the soldier (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/01/13/mass-effect-2s-soldier-class-really-likes-guns/)you got him.

[S.I.C]

Just watched this video.........solider FTW!!!!!!!

That was my first class in the first game and it will be my class in ME2!!! Is it the 26th yet?

[Kaiser Zero]

IGN has their review up! Click here (http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14235013/mass-effect-2/videos/masseffect2_vdr_012210.html).

[Kaiser Zero]

Okay so I played it... for longer then I should have.

I went with Sentinel for my first go and it took some getting use to. While it's powers are limited and tech armor it was a good way to start out.

I think I kinda went crazy on the main story since I rounded up the first group of members and about to do some side missions for a bit.

Jack is a beast! (I don't wanna say who Jack is but yeah...)

The game it self is ohhhh so much better then the first one.

[S.I.C]

okay I re-beat ME1 last night then I went ahead and out in ME2.....this game is awesome! I am really enjoying it but! I came acrossed a glitch last night (Jayse can vouch for me) it turns out that there is a save giltch. I played for about 2 hours and then I figured out that I couldn't save ;_; it made me a bit sad because I really liked my new characters look.

I went with solider and I must say he is awesome! I love being trained in all gun types. I also like that only certian classes can use cartian guns. Like Jacob can only use a handgun and a shotgun. Also I like the new armor maker but I wish you could change armor from the menu but you must be on your ship. The weapon upgrades are also a nice touch a little more easy to manage.

so because of my little giltch I had I did start over but I don't like how my dude looks now.....so I'm going to re-start again.

[Kaiser Zero]

Alrighty game update.

Thanks to combat training I can use assault rifles!! So they did kinda lie about a class is restricted to some weapons.

Okay I have to also agree with some of the people out there that Mass Effect 2 has been a bit dumbed down and more a shooter then a RPG. I can vouch for this since well.... I can jump to the Omega at any moment now. I'm just trying to stretch it out a bit more.

I still love the game don't get me wrong but I miss my story!!

[John Marston]

So which class should I use?

[Urza Planeswalker]

OMG Y'all I love this game. I just spent I don't know how long just scanning planets. Seriously no gun fights or anything just scanning planets and I love the new system. I also love the new hacking minigames though the one for datapads took me a bit to figure out >_>. So far story wise I ain't that far in xD.

[Kaiser Zero]

So how far is everyone (i'm sure by now every noticed I beat it >_>) The ending was pretty good.

I sadly lost Tali ;_; but she was the only one that died.

[Urza Planeswalker]

YOU LOST TALI?! I haven't even picked her up yet xD. But I just picked up Thane and on the Collector ship right now. Just recieved my advanced weapon training in assault rifles so I can finally use my collectors' weapon as well as the armor xD. Do you only get to do that once?

[Kaiser Zero]

Yup just once.

I lost her during the final mission so no coming back from that one.

[John Marston]

I've been scanning planets mostly in my ME2 time. Also I finished up all the loyality missions. Only need to recruit legion now.

Also I'm gonna romance Jack. Lol, I like the freaky girls. ;)

[Kaiser Zero]

That's what I did. I Did start Tali but I didn't want to hurt Jack since you learn so much about her and how she grew during her story.

[S.I.C]

okay so....I finally found the SMG you get it by recuiting Tali....

so I have everyone's loyality.....well not Talis since I just got her XD

also I am totally romancing Miranda!!!! >_><_<....when do you get to sleep with the person your romancing?!?!?!?

also did anyone buy the model shipd and any fish?....I love my space hamster lol

[Kaiser Zero]

My fish died >_>

and the romance kicks in when you using the omega.

[S.I.C]

you know if you talk with your assistant she will eventually offer to feed your fish while your gone.

did you buy any of the model ships......I really like the captain's office XD

[Kaiser Zero]

I got the ships yeah! On my next play i'll talk to Kelly more.

[John Marston]

The "sex" scene happens right before you got to the omega 4 relay. The scene will automatically happen. Just like in the first one before Illos.


Also, I beat it!! and the ending was amazing!! And all my crew survived!!! ^_^ I was so paranoid I'd lose someone!!! Thank god they made it. XD

And the scene with Jack is nice seeing as how all the men in her life treated her wrong but shepard know's how to treat the ladies. XD Pretty much I romanced her for the same reason Jayse did her past and Shepard trying to change her.

[Urza Planeswalker]

SPACE HAMSTER FOR THE WIN DUSTIN! I am also with Miranda but trying to romance Kelly on the side >_>

[John Marston]

You Miranda people. >_> Don't judge a book by its cover. There's more to jack than just her somewhat scary look.

[S.I.C]

Dan don't hate XD

just because you couldn't get with Miranda. Justin knows what I'm talking about XD oh and as a side not I'M A FUCKING PARAGON BITCH!!!!!

LOL

[John Marston]

I do use Miranda in combat though. Her warp and overload come in handy often.

[Urza Planeswalker]

IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER EPISODE OF THE MOTHER FUCKING PARAGON SHOW! STARRING COMMANDER SHEPARD BITCH! THIS WEEK! USING YOUR NAME TO GET DISCOUNTS! OH YEAH! XD

On a serious not who do you tend to use in your team? Me and Jayse have been arguing over it >_>.

[Kaiser Zero]

TWO MOTHERFUCKING CAMELS IN A TINY CAR!

[Urza Planeswalker]

NO BAD JAYSE! *smacks* But seriously for me it's a rotation of Miranda,Grunt, The Doc, Thane, Jacob and Garrus.

[Kaiser Zero]

My main team was Grunt/Jack don't ask me how but they just worked well with me.

[John Marston]

Jack and Miranda were my usual squad.

Although sometimes I would rotate Jack with somebody else. But I felt comfortable using Jack and Miranda... Not sure why. >_>

[Urza Planeswalker]

Cause you're Leon Phelps?

[John Marston]

Eh?

[S.I.C]

TWO MOTHERFUCKING CAMELS IN A TINY CAR!

.....what?

also how do you keep your entire team alive through the mission?!?!?!?!?! Three people died when I went through the suicide mission ;_;

[John Marston]

>_> <_<

[Urza Planeswalker]

I used Legion as my tech specialist and just helped with the pipes and what not. All in all I really enjoyed the game and anyone else think Turian Reaper at the end there with the fleet? Also did ya save the Collectors' ship or blow it up? Cause I blew that thing up. No good can come from a ship that turns things into a biopaste >_>.

[S.I.C]

I told this to Jayse on LIVE but IMO I think the REAPERS that we know were made from the Rachni. They are the only other ancient race besides the Protheans and the Rachni queen told use in the first game that there "song" was influenced by something evil.......and the REAPER kinda look like the Rachni....

just my thoughts we'll see what happens in ME3

I don't think that the Turians could be made into REAPERS since they are with in the Human time line and REAPERS are millions of years old....

[John Marston]

I'm sure we haven't seen the last of the Illusive Man. But I destroyed it.

[Urza Planeswalker]

Well think about it. The Reapers make ships out of certain races and we saw that with the human one. I honestly think that first one we see is the one based off of Turians most likely but yeah we'll see in ME3.

[John Marston]

Here's a random question, what's up with the illusive man's eyes?

[Urza Planeswalker]

I think he's a biotic or something. But yeah I constantly wondered that too.

[Kaiser Zero]

I'm sure we haven't seen the last of the Illusive Man. But I destroyed it.

We'll see him again most definitely. It's going to be interesting to if we'll be getting a new hero in ME3 or will it be Shepard since you can live or die?

[Urza Planeswalker]

Yeah I hope to see the Illusive man as well but I see no reason as to why they'd hunt down Shepard I mean he did what they asked and if word gets around that instead of securing their dominance by taking Collector technology but instead destroyed it so that it'd never be used for evil again seems like it'd reflect well on humanity and maybe even Cerberus if they spin it right ya know what I mean?

[S.I.C]

The Illusive Man's actually has sharingan eyes XD (Naruto reference)

and I still have to disagree with you Justin there is no way that there is a Turian REAPER.......there are no records of millions upon millions of Turians gone missing for no reason. The only reason they started a human REAPER is because of Shepard.........

[Urza Planeswalker]

Well I guess we'll agree to disagree cause think about it. Almost every race in the universe has something great about them and just cause we haven't heard about it doesn't mean it ain't happened. The reapers started hunting humanity cause of Shepard but that doesn't mean they haven't hunted other races before just look at what they did to the protheans cause they couldn't make a prothean reaper.

[S.I.C]
