Mass Effect 2 Details :)

[HolyCow02]

I like that they keep adding stuff. I am playing the game again on Veteran hoping to lose less of my team this time around (3 F*&$ing people). I have to say the damn husk's with armor get annoying, especially on the mission where you find kaiden. Damn things keep getting me.

The husks weren't a problem for me on that one, it was the big fugly guys with their long range attack. It seems like I just backpeddled in circles (which prevented those ranged attacks from hitting me) around the crates taking out the husks that chased me. Don't try to hide anywhere because the husks will come for you.

Head shots with that bigass sniper rifle should do the trick that and the heavy pistol.

yep... headshots with big f*ck-off rifle pretty much is the only way to beat the game on insanity... especially the first time around... without warp ammo.

although I have to say... ME2 was better... but something about ME1 kept me playing that game for WEEKS.

ME 2 I have beaten... and I feel like there is no more to the game than what I have already seen. much more on rails than the last one.

I found that shooting their legs worked best. It doesn't take many hits and the moment one leg falls off, the hit the ground and go splat.

I'm talking about the scions. Shooting husks in the leg with anything is the easiest way to kill them. I think electrical ammo is the best against husks not sure.

damnit, all this strategic talk makes me want to play it again.

The new dlc is out, you know you want to.

I completely agree. The DLCs feel the same way. ME2 simply doesn't enthrall the player in an immersive story like ME1 did. The Reapers are a great story; the Collectors are not. Maybe that's just it: ME1 had Sovereign and Saren (namely Saren). He was an enemy you wanted to to stop and you felt committed to do so. You also learn a lot about a forgotten race (the Proteans) from Vigil. ME2 is missing both of those crucial elements (an enemy you know either sympathetically or revengefully) and interesting background stories. It is replaced with a mad man no one gives a shit about (the Illusive Man) and the Collector's which, coming from killing a Reaper, seem completely insignificant and unnoteworthy.

Scions are easiest with Widow Maker, yeah. A shame it only has 13/14 bullets and is a bolt action.

i read that as windows movie maker

LOL! Not my name.



FYI, the Hammerhead DLC is maybe only 2 hours worth of game play. Only one part was interesting but, just like the rest of ME2, it lacked backstory and therefore, signficance. It was dumbed down to "just an item to collect." Grr....

Any gun like the widow maker should be semi automatic like IRL. I hate when games (bfbc2) put in a heavy damage sniper and ruin it by making it bolt action (m95).

Not all .50 (And above) sniper rifles/anti-material rifles are semi-auto, though.

Anyways. The new nVidia driver finally lets those of us with NV cards play the game in X16AA/X16AS glory. With the jaggies gone and murdered it looks even better

Yeah but they should instead of giving us the M95. I'd like to see an AS50 or on an unrelated note I'd love to see an L85A2 in this

'balance'

snipers are whores enough as it is, with .50 cal single shot and magnum rounds.

Did anyone here try Mass Effect 2:Overlord??? The DLC is about a month old, but i felt like playing ME2 again and was wondering whether the DLC is worth it.

 

[AphexDreamer]

I just got this game. Even though I had a hard time getting into the first one and never beat it I'm loving 2 and plan to finish.

Good for you bro. Its one awesome game!

Overlord is a lot like System Shock, if you've ever heard of that. There's no good pickups in it so I would rate Kasumi - Stolen Memory above it. Overlord comes in second.

System shock is a really old game right? And i thought Overlord was better than Kasumi - Stolen Memory. IGN had given Overlord a 9.0/10 while Kasumi just got a 7.5/10. Anyways thanks for the reply.

Kusami has a very accurate SMG. Most of the guns in ME2 suck and that one is an exception. A gun is useful throughout the entire game and not just the DLC. To add to that, most of the characters in the game can equip an SMG. The SMG is the only reason why Kusami is worth it. Remove the SMG from Kusami, and Overlord is easily the best DLC out for the game. Mind you, I still really didn't like Overlord. Like most of ME2, I think it wasn't very fun.
