Mass Effect 2

Those used to be the shiznit. Oh well.

Shepard's not really a cyborg. Well, I guess he's technically a cyborg if he has some amount of mechanical portion to him now, but he's not a cyborg in the sense that most people seem to throw around the term "cyborg."

Here is a question will the smile be back at the end of Mass Effect 2 ? It will not be a Mass Effect game without Shepard smiling after beating the bad guy walking through wreckage. No other RPG has the Hero doing that kind of smile at the end lol

Did you guys see the videos on ign...they show some in-game footage/discussions from the beginning of the game. There is also a new one talking about the art of the game.

I'll hold off on the 12 minutes, don't want to spoil anything more than I know already. Liking the Infiltrator cloak.

Watch it. The title of the video is misleading. It's not the first 12 minutes at all. They just show the inside of the new Normandy (and not all of it) and then they start a mission from which they don't really show anything either.

 

[imaperson2]

yup, that's why I put first in quotations. Nothing spoiler worthy

 

[DACMAN]

I'm beginning to think I'm the only person that actually liked the Mako. :[

I loved it. I love how it can roll up practically anything and the guns on it are great.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

The lighting looks different.

You don't tell me what to do!

*watches.

Yeah, iz pretty cool. Though those veins cause my blood to boil whenever I see them.

the full trailer is supposed to be on xbox live today right? Is there a usual time for it to update or something or no?

It was uploaded on Xbox LIVE a little while ago.

Kinda off topic, but it sucks that LIVE isn't officially supported here in Greece. I can join, I have Gold (UK account) and I can download themes, trailers, XBLA games, add ons, etc, but I get the "This item isn't available from your current location" message for some stuff, mostly add ons for 18+ games. For example, I can't download the Gears (1 and 2) maps. Anyway...I just mentioned it because it wouldn't let me download the Mass Effect 2 trailer. Good thing it worked when I tried downloading it using my US account.

EDIT: I just saw it. It's awesome!

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Iz pretty kewl, though they probably should have had SuZe in the action sequence since they introduced her during the roster set-up. Blur does pretty good work, were they responsible for the Old Republic trailer as well?

Spoiler

Shepard is DEAD for two years before being found by Cerebrus and being resurrected.

How many are upset regarding the above and feel that ME 2 Shepard will be a totally different character from ME 1 Shepard

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

I've already considered this possibility.

If his brain is still intact (I don't see how that could happen) then its still Shepard despite having some cybernetic parts to him.

If not, well - either way I see potential to explore this in a fairly dramatic fashion.

I tried in vain to pre-order the copy of the Collector's Edition. It looks like the best chance is just to reserve the regular copy and see if I can exchange it if they have an extra copy.

 

[AnorexicBatman]

So the Infiltrator gets Predator style cloak/camo
Will the Vanguard get John Woo style diving through the air with biotic/gun dual wield?

 

[BlackLantern]

as long as I get to travel the galaxy in my pimped out spaceship and bring THE LAW to the universe, Im good

Amazon.com. Barnesandnoble.com still has them, as well. EA Store still has them.

I am a little ticked hearing that Wrex may or may not be back, you can scrap all the other characters but Wrex was my homey

Why would this make anyone upset? That certainly seems an overreaction.

Wrex is not a squadmate in this game. Tali is, and Garrus is all but officially confirmed. They are the only two returning squadmates.
