Mass Effect 2

[Reek]

i preordered the CE at gamestop, went there last night and they lost it. my 70 bucks went to them, but no CE, so i had to buy the regular edition...basically out $130 for one game.

 

[BlackLantern]

so when you start it up, does it ask if you would like to use your previous character (from ME 1)??

 

[Erzengel]

Yes.

 

[BlackLantern]

sweet...my Sheppard (my main one) kid of looks like Starbuck and likes to hit people in the face, my other Sheppard, he's more diplomatic

 

[Erzengel]

How does the special armor work based on classes? Does it incorporate light, medium and heavy?

Ha. I'm asking all these questions and I'll probably be playing this in less than 4 hours.

 

[Dark Helmet]

They made being a bad ass being more awesome. Never ask me to give up my gun *****es

Meh, no big loss. I wasn't that interested in playing with him anyways. Maybe on my Renegade run I'll throw him in my group since he seems to fit with that whole vibe.

Either you did something wrong, or they literally just stole from you. So you paid for the collectors edition but they lost it, i get that, but why did you spend 60 dollars more to buy a regular edition? Why did you not just use the money that you spent on the collectors edition? Either you aren't telling the whole story, or the person working at Gamestop literally robbed you. If they were not able to give you the collectors edition you paid for, and you were willing, they should of just used that money on the reg edition and then given you the difference. I find it extremely hard to believe they made you pay for something they did not give you.

 

[BlackLantern]

yea...they should have given you the regular edition and store credited you the rest or something

in any case, this game is the new hotness and

Spoiler

those Collectors are gonna pay, no one ****s with my ride...damn the colonies or the galaxy....you bastards messed with the hot whip and nobody messes with the whip

 

[Nightmare]

Played the first hour or so, way better than the first so far. Im loving it!

 

[Wolfwood]

Alright I'm about to finally sit down and play this, my excitement is palpable.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

I played for about 2 hours and im really digging it. The combat seems so much more fluid and satisfying.

One thing that really irks me tho, is the inability to change equipment on the fly. In the last game if you wanted to mess around with different weapons and add any upgrades you were able to go into the equipment screen and do so, but it appears as tho in this game you have to do it at a designated location on your ship. That really bites.

I even had the receipt. they scanned it and said no. this is not legit.

you can wear the armor from the get go.

You need to walk back in there and see the manager. If you paid for the collectors edition you either need to receive that collectors edition or get your money back. They cant just say, sorry we lost it, and leave you s.o.l. Thats not how it works.

 

[Master Chief]

Yea man, shenanigans. I mean, it's worth it for ME2, but don't let them steal your money.

Anyway. O.M.G. Closing in on 6 hours. Today I went through a fresh playthrough of ME with a lvl60 character to have everything fresh in my mind, then hopped right into ME2 after. Such a seamless transition made it so much cooler, and made the changes much more noticeable. The intro was AAAHHHHHMaZiNG.

They dumbed it down into a shooter while still keeping the epic scope of the series. The controls flow so much better, they're not as stiff as they were. Moving around and aiming have been loosened up and tightened at the same time lol, when you get that first pistol in your hands and pop off a few shots... After the slow-ish combat from ME, it was a startling upgrade for the better. I'm a happy bumpkin. Everything is amazing. And the little details from my imported character, so cool.

Right before I stopped playing I had a drink with Dr. Chakwas, and reminisced about Kaiden and Jenkins. If you don't remember, Jenkins is the rookie who gets gunned down at Eden Prime during ME's prologue. I don't wanna spoil anymore little throwbacks but so far I've come across like, 5. Crazytown, I'm lovvvin it.

P.S. If you missed out on the special armors, don't worry about it, they're ugly in-game. With the customization you can do with normal armor they're only good for the bonuses. The Collector's Assault Rifle and the Terminus heavy weapon are badass though.

 

[Reek]

anyone know what the % numbers on the galaxy map are? like when your mapping a mass relay jump, it say Citadel 100% or Local Cluster 100%, Omega 25%

 

[Master Chief]

How much of that galaxy cluster you've explored.

 

[Reek]

oh damn, thank you. hhaha i kept thinking it was how much was left to do, like 100% meant you have nothinh left to do in that cluster.

 

[Reek]

my bad dp

 

[Reek]

adding to that, really ****** instruction manual...

 

[Benstamania]

SONOFA....

This redeem code BS is extremely annoying. I got my Blood Dragon and GameStop armor ok, but the freaking Cerberus Network card code that I submitted on masseffect.com is apparently now tied to that account (which is under my damn gmail account) and not my windows live account.

So, I guess unless anyone knows a way to change my Windows Live ID without losing my gamerscore, ect it appears I won't be able to download the Cerberus Network for free...unless I'm over looking something.
