Thread: Mass Effect 2

Ya...so it's a good 5 months until this game comes out, but still. Mass Effect was one of my favorite games of all time. The sequel looks to be amazing.

A darker story....just "darker" all around in general. More weapons. Better character models. "Intensity." "More action." *drool*

I love that the story depends on what you did in the 1st game. If you killed somebody off, they will not be in your sequel. Awesome. This game is going to friggin own.

I am looking forward to this as well, should be awesome!

The only complaint I had about the original ME was the menu system. Too much time spent when scrolling through armor and weapons for the best upgrade. Easily one of the best games I played in awhile, the whole complete package. I hope they match the first or exceed it.

I just picked up the Game of the Year Edition for $20, and it comes with a lot of extra content, videos and all the new maps and bonuses. I popped it in and even without my old saves which I deleted a long time ago, it still recovered 'my' Commander Sheppard, all my gear, items and all! I upped the difficulty to level that out, and am replaying as a different class. This time I'm gonna **** the alien blue bitch lol!

ME is friggin' ridiculously well made, and probably one of the best games in years. In my book, probably exceeds FFVII, which I still think is one of the best RPGs ever made. Kudos to Bioware, and I hope they match it and fix a few of the bugs.

I'm surprised... thought this was pretty soon... but WOW!.... the idea of a game that finally reflects how you played the earlier game....

I know it was discussed alot with fans with KOTOR... which is the father of this baby... but still.

Cool! Thanks!

What shocks me is that you won't even need your original save. Aesome.

I have to use a different gamertag now due to mixups with email registration and old tags or something...

I wonder how that will work for me.

I may have to play the game again.

I think a lot of it has to do with your achievements, that's how it will detect what you did in the first one.

Yeah... but my old gamertag has the achievements.

My new one has all of like 1900 points. I haven't played that much in the way of games in the past year or so.

The Achievements aren't recorded to your 360 itself on the game history pages in the menu?

Yeah, Gamertag by gamertag, I believe.

If they are saved into the game profile on your 360 HDD, then it won't matter. You'll have the ending on file, whether you finished the paragon or renegade path. Cycle through your games and see if you have one of the Acheivments in the Mass Effect tile. Should be there regardless of your Gamertag status on LIVE.

Another way to see is pop in ME and select New Game and see if your Commander Sheppard is retrieved. It should be.

I'll give it a shot. Thanks!


Wonder if you'll have a choice though about what 'ending' and characters are available assuming you played through multiple times.

*shrug*

I know a few things about that and I won't spoil it for you!

If Bioware stays with their track record, ME2 will be one helluva game.

No doubt!
