Mass Effect 2

I have to wait until the 12th of Febuary to get this.

That's the cost of Free Shipping, apparently.

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

Thanks. I asked at other forums and they told me that they're usable for both. Hopefully that's true and I'll be able to use them for both the PC and 360 versions. I got the PC version from Direct2Drive and it unlocks in about 23 hours and 51 mins. I can't wait! Good thing is, it already let me download the files and I also found a ME save game file that had the exact same choices I made. As for the face, name and class, I can change those.

Anyway...

Put it on about 9am today after playing about 8 hours yesterday, I barely turned it off at 4pm. I cannot put it down!

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.

Yea that was sooo kick ass. Really glad to see that character make an appearance.

Has anyone received their preorder armor from Amazon yet?

Loving this game so far. Mass Effect 1 is near the top of my list of all-time favorites and this totally blows it out of the water. So far at least.

I was going to continue with Engineer, but the flexibility Sentinal offers was too juicy to pass up. Plus the Tech Armor is rad.

 

[Master Chief]

Been playing for 17 hours, and if I'm near the end right now, the end better be frikin INCrEDIBLE for coming on so soon. Right now I'm just gaining everyone's loyalty, and tryin to bang Miranda.

I liked the little reference joke about slow elevators.

Ilium is probably the most beautiful place in the game, I actually stopped in the middle of combat to just look out a window at the city. Amazing stuff.

Anyhoo does anyone want a Collector's weapon/armor code? I snagged the free DLC when it was up on Monday morning, so I don't need it. I'll send a PM out.

 

[Trainwreck2100]

i'll take it

 

[Master Chief]

You're not just planning to sell it are you?

 

[StrainedEyes]

You're not just planning to sell it are you?

If you don't trust him, I'll gladly step in and accept it.

 

[Master Chief]

I'll PM you too, whoever scores it first wins.

I'm going with the Tali romance, her dialogue during her personal quest and her interaction with Shepard were just amazing and very emotional.

 

[Speedball]

Damn Liara has become a b****... makes me almost want to cheat on her...
I like the alternate costumes for the characters more than the ones they start out with. So far all I've got are Jacobs, Mirandas, and Jacks. Glad to see Jack finally put a shirt on...

 

[Benstamania]

I just spent an entire hour zapping the resources of two planets before going and recruiting Grunt.

Oh...and I bought a Space Hampster, which...for some reason made me feel even MORE awesome then not. I also agree with the Archangel stuff, completely awesome.

 

[BlackLantern]

I went and got crazy merc guy from Omega...and Im now on Side Mission Palooza...went and got Tali, Geth are still good target practice

Don't see the appeal of Tali AT ALL. People kept saying how much they wanted her to be a love interest in the first game, but I just didn't get it. She's a nice enough character and all, but for a love interest? No thanks.

Anyway, I definitely cheated on Liara with Miranda. Here I thought she'd be all worried and thankful that I was alive when we met again, and all you get is one kiss. Then she's all cold and asking for favors. Well, f*** that, then.

Actually, that's a bit of a nitpick I have with the game. The love interest from the first game, whoever it is, got so shafted here that you barely have any reason to remain faithful. Not to mention the fact that ME2's LIs are much more interesting (except for Tali).

And that's one of the best things about the game: the characters are all incredible. Even Jack, who I thought I would hate, ended up being incredibly sympathetic. I do miss Wrex though. He's way better than Grunt.

EDIT: Just to add that Thane f***ing rules all.

 

[BlackLantern]

how are you "cheating" on Liara?? you bang her once before the end of the first game and then thats it....I even kicked her out right after

Hey, that's how Bioware calls it. They even said that "cheating" on the love interest from the first game has big consequences in the third. But I'm not buying that.

 

[BlackLantern]

they should put "Donkey Punch" on the conversation wheel, because Liara would get that too

Tali felt like a kid sister in the first game to me.

Tali felt like a kid sister in the first game to me.

That's actually a good way to put it. I like her as a character and all, but having her as a love interest just feels... wrong.

Though now that I think about it, maybe it's the mask/three fingers/two toes thing.

Yep, for all we now, ME2 Liara might actually LOVE that...

Nah, the alien stuff is the best part of Mass Effect's love stories. I hope in ME3, Wrex comes back and can be a love interest. For either gender.

I like Wrex and all, buy my god man....what the hell is wrong with you??

Come on, Garrus is the sexy one and you KNOW it. And with that scar? Even better. :heart:

 

[BlackLantern]

speaking of Garrus, considering the way Yeoman Chambers was talking about him, I half expect to walk into the forward battery after a mission and see her in there, bent over the console with Garrus giving her the business
