Mass Effect 2

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.

I dont know if it says the same thing in game, but if you redeem you code online, when you input your email it says to make sure the email you are using is the email thats tied to your gamertag. I made sure to check that like 10 times before i hit redeem, i didnt want that code going to some account i dont use.

I mentioned that Game.co.uk canceled my pre-order of the 360 CE and even though a few stores I called (here in Greece) said they'd have the 360 CE, they now tell me that they won't. Apparently they were called by the EA distributor here in Greece and were told that they wouldn't be getting the 360 CE.

Did any of you guys get the PC version? I was thinking of getting the Digital Deluxe Edition and using the PC CE and pre-order codes and download the bonuses for the 360 Would that work? I'm only asking since the Blood Dragon Armor code works with all versions.

Yea id assume it would man. I mean when i entered my codes it gave me option to download to PC.


Im loving the game but im really pissed at how they handled the equipment this time around. What damn RPG forces you to choose equipment at only one spot in the game? I mean thats really annoying.

 

[BlackLantern]

I don't mind it so much, how plausible is it (i know its an RPG thing) to carry around tons of guns, upgrades, and ammo??

I kinda like the idea of that... adds more realism and strategy.

Yea and thats what i was thinking, but being that its such a staple of RPG's, to see it removed is annoying. I guess it forces you to use a bit more strategy before each mission tho. What bugs me tho is the fact that i cant remove a helmet mid mission if i decide to equip one. Its a damn small gripe, but considering the last game let me do that, is why im a bit irked.

Its just as realistic as surviving after your ship had just been destroyed...in outer space.

I'm constantly switching between the Dragon and the Terminus Armor.

Oh and I was pinned down in an area and used the blackstorm on a bunch of Vorcha. Took them all out.

That Dragon Armor looks so damn awesome. I wish i could have gotten it, but i had no desire to play Dragon Age

 

[Wolfwood]

****, I played this game for six hours last night and I have no school tomorrow, so I'm worried about how long I'm going to play tonight lol.

Can we post story spoilers in the tags yet? Is that cool? Cause there's some **** I just want rave about lol.

EDIT: I also freakin' love my Dragon Armor, but hate the fact I can't take off the helmet. However, as helmets go, this one is easily the best looking. I also like how you can change the outfit you wear on the ship, I wonder if you'll be able to buy more. I busted up laughing when I saw that Mad Max looking gear, I felt pretty gay wearing that. Have you guys started decorating your ship? At first I thought it was kind of silly, but now I'm addicted to it. I bought a damn space hamster.

 

[Erzengel]

Just put spoilers.

Also I know it's early but

Spoiler

I know there's suppose to be a romance with Miranda. But so far, Miranda doesn't hold a candle to Ashley. :heart:

Seriousely? I'm staying single, but I would take

Spoiler

Miranda over Ashely in a heartbeat, for a bunch of polygons, she's a fine looking mamacita.

Also, is it just me or is the Paragon option more badass this time? I've made some Paragon choices and it resulted in some pretty "**** yeah" moments for me.

So about Omega and Archangel...

Spoiler

Did you think Archangel was going to be Garrus? I kept racking my brain on who it could be until one of the Mercs mentioned a Turian. His mission was great, I honestly was not a fan of Garrus before, but now he's got a permanent slot on my team.

Hehe, that's pretty cool. Guess I better start consulting him before my missions.

The e-mail system is pretty cool

Spoiler

I'm getting notes from people I had a minor run in with in the first game. Like the guy whose wife had died and the science team was going to examine her unless you got them to return her body. He sent an e-mail updating me on what had happened. That's a great sense of continuity.

 

[BlackLantern]

Mirandas' a *****

 

[William_C]

What are some "Oh ****" moments for you all so far?

 

[Erzengel]

Well to start off the first 15 minutes.

 

[Wolfwood]

What are some "Oh ****" moments for you all so far?

When you go back to the Citadel...

Spoiler

And if you have Anderson as a Councilor, he treats Udina like a little punk. I enjoyed that very much.

Spoiler

Yep, those are so awesome. I got one from the suicidal chick you talk down, and how she's doing better. Got one from Kate Bowman, for completely the "Bringing Down the Sky" DLC and saving the colony from the asteroid. I've gotten so many others but it's really cool to see how your actions shaped other characters in the Universe. ME3 is going to be insane.

When you get the chance to go to Omega, poke around the night club. You'll see some familiar faces assuming you did some missions and let a certain last playthrough.

lol 11 hours... this game is amazing. I'm rockin with Grunt and Jack, the best offensive party that's worked for me so far.

Spoiler

Meeting up with Ashley again was bitter, and I saw it as a greenlight to bang Miranda or Jack. But then she sent me an e-mail. Dammit.

 

[BlackLantern]

I just got Jack on board, might go get Grunt and then its Side Mission-Palooza

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Just saw this and thought it was interesting. For those of you bought the PC version of Mass Effect 2, there's a website with saves of various different Shepard permutations from Mass Effect 1.

Yeah, I didn't realize that...and now it looks like I'm screwed unless I call EA. Apparently many, maaaany people were having the same issue I was. One guy said you could change your Windows Live ID to your regular email account but I have NO idea how...and I searched for every possible way.

 

[Benstamania]

Just a little FYI for ANYONE that has DLC issues...I got this from the bioware forums.

I too used the wrong emails. A few suggested creating another XBL Silver account and using it's email as the same email I used for this Social account. It worked like they said-- logged in to my EA account via ME2 on Xbox, pressed cancel when asked to access Cerberus, the Terminus Armor and Weapon was in the New Content Available.

When I switched back to my main account, the Armor and Weapon was in the ship's equipment cabinet.

I'm just glad it finally worked out. No thanks to this over-complicated method!

I created my wife a Silver account, I can confirm this works.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Without telling me which ones, do we ever get to team up with any of our old party members from the last game?

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Archangel spoilers:

Spoiler

Garrus is officially and totally a bad ass. That the entire crimedom of Omega was throwing itself at Garrus and taking heavy losses only cements the massive testicles of this man.

His joke about Shepard finally having a chance with the ladies now that he is disfigured was lolzors.

He rarely leaves my party.
