Mass Effect 2

Hmmm...how much is that converting to regular money? I'm not so experienced with LIVE and I have yet to buy any DLC for this!

Overlord, Kasumi and Lair of the Shadow Broker are 200 pts a piece today on the XBL Marketplace.

I bought the Shadow Broker DLC last week... FML.

Thanks Master Chief, just got Overlord with some leftover points!

About $2.50 a piece

 

[Master Chief]

I bought it at release, but holy ****. I saw those and said, again, holy ****.

my heart sank when I saw shadow broker was slashed by 75%. but I did save on Overlord so it's not all bad.

200 pts is like, $2.50 I think.

Microsoft is sneaky though coz they make you buy 'em in bundles hahah.

edit: lol too late, whoops

Thanks Master Chief, just got Overlord with some leftover points!

Playing ME1 is a must for ME2. I played ME2 without playing ME1 and still enjoyed it but it wasn't until I finished ME1 and played the second over again that it felt like I was playing a different game. I loved seeing some characters from the first reappear, especially Wrex. It just didn't feel complete without the first already played.

I'll admit I was annoyed with ME1 at times with the Mako but I still loved roaming around different planets never knowing what I'd find, etc. Not to mention the story was great and felt epic as you were nearing the end. I hope for the third we get that sense of freedom again when it comes to going to other planets instead of launching countless probes.

But ME1..still one of my favorite games.

Agreed 100%.

So everyone here would probably agree i should just get ME1+ME2 on PC instead of just waiting for ME2 PS3 and downloading the comic? =p

 

[imaperson2]

Nice...I just got all of them...can't wait to play!

Yeah, Drz, do that! You must get the full experience.

 

[Drz]

I'm downloading the ME2 demo on my PS3 now to check out the gameplay atleast and character creator. I Just feel highly tempted by the PS3 due to the free DLC and alot of people seem to feel ME2 improved ME1 by everything, but still people love both games.

 

[imaperson2]

Well yeah...if you play ME2 before ME1, you are going to be slightly disappointed just in the fact that ME2 is superior to it. Still though, this is an ongoing story that builds upon each other through each game. To skip the first part is weird.

 

[X Knight]

is the PS3 version going to have any exclusive content or DLC not available to the 360 version?

cuz......with this sale on the DLC stuff, and the fact that the Interactive Comic is also coming to the 360, I'm now less inclined to pick up the PS3 version, since I already have the 360 version.............

 

[X Knight]

oh........and another question about downloading DLC to my 360.

If I use one gamertag to buy and download DLC, will the DLC only be available to that gamertag? Or, will all of my gamertags have access to that DLC?

I have one main gamertag that I'm currently using. But, I've also got several others that I've used in the past, and each of those has some Microsoft Points on them.

If I used those gamertags to buy the ME2 DLC, will I be able to access that DLC when I use my main gamertag to play the game?

Most definitely.

Nope

 

[X Knight]

Nope

cool! thanks!!

I'm downloading the DLC now!!

guess no need for the PS3 version now..........lol.

if it weren't for this thread, I'd have no idea the DLC was on sale........

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Its obscene how into this game I am. I'm in the middle of my ME2 playthrough with all the DLC and the game just feels massive.

 

[Master Chief]

Oooh man, Overlord is amazing. That ending was f**ked.

And Shadow Broker? holycrap lmao, I would have loved it way more at 200pts since I just got around to playing it tonight but it was worth it.

Spoiler

Getting to read the dossiers on all your crew and acquaintances was pretty awesome. Miranda and Jack's are my fave, and now I wanna buy Admiral Hackett a beer.

 

[El Bastardo]

Yeah, Lair of the Shadow Broker was fantastic.

Still, BioWare needs to look at getting some of their voice talent back. I'm not saying every character sould have had new lines in LotSB, but man, it would have been nice to have some new dialogue from Garrus and Tali regarding Liara.

 

[MOVIELORD101]

Played the PS3 demo. Oh MAN it's good!

 

[X Knight]

soooo..........what's the consensus on Reave as a bonus ability? Is it good for either an Adept or Vanguard?

how about Slam?

 

[Jennifer Walters]

If I get the PS3 version am I gonna be confused as **** by the story? Because I love Bioware games and I've always wanted to try out Mass Effect.

 

[The Squirrel]

We are getting an interactive prequel comic that goes over the first game.

 

[El Bastardo]

While I think Reave is a fantastic ability, I think the general consensus is it's bad on a Vanguard because of the global cooldown. It resets Charge, which you're usually using to stay alive.

Adept, I can't see why not.

I prefer Warp Ammo, but I like to pewpew.

cool. thanks!!

can Reave be used on protected enemies ( armor, shield, barrier ) to wear down their defenses?

 

[El Bastardo]

I think so. Check the ability description, either in game or on the ME wiki.

I'm pretty sure it does extra damage to Armor and Barriers and normal damage to Shields. Or something like that.

If you can't wait for the comic, then this video should explain everything very clearly.

[Jennifer Walters]

Thanks. I'm downloading the demo right now and it's going VERY slowly.
