Mass Effect 2 Details :)

dang theirs ammo now i cant hold down the fire button to go guns blazing.

im going to wait a couple days see what people think once they get into it. to bad you have to use a cd to play

 

[pr0n Inspector]

Heh, I wish it was that simple. I went to go grab more ammo and I couldn't pick up anymore because the rest of my weapons were full. When the other weapons run out of ammo, I can still switch to them, I just can't use them. The assault rifle is completely missing from my inventory. I went to the weapons locker and that didn't restore it either. My only hope is to find an improved version of it and hope that it shows up in my inventory.

You picked up a battle rifle. go the the locker and switch to the assault rifle. You will see the "xxxx battle rifle (2 options)". click it.

 

[HolyCow02]

I definitely liked the no-ammo from the first game, so the switch to ammo threw me off big time. I also liked the 11,000 different types of ammo from the first game. As far as I can see there are only 3 or 4 choices now. I haven't played long enough to see how that turns out though.

Buy it from steam or EA digital download?

It's definitely good, I'm enjoying it just about as much as the first one. When they said it was darker than the first they definitely meant it though.

Damn I knew she looked and sounded familiar. Good choice BioWare, good choice

Bioware is great at that. Bioware games are always guaranteed to have top-notch voice acting, I've never been disappointed.

Thanks, I'm an idiot. I didn't realize my assault rifle was upgraded to the battle rifle. I like the battle rifle, but I just run out of ammo too fast. I hope the next upgrade improves ammo capacity.

Maybe I'm wrong but I thought those cartridges were heat related and had nothing to do with ammo. You don't pick up ammo guys. You have heat cartridges in your weapons and they get used up and need to be replaced. In ME the weapons over heated as a way to control people from just pressing fire and going non-stop. Now they made it so the weapons need heat carts that must be ejected and replaced.

Am I wrong?


Oh and this game rocks! I waited in line at Midnight to pick mine up. I then stayed up till 4am playing, woke up at 9am and played until 5:30pm (off and on).

I can't wait to play tonight. My fav squad mate so far is
Zaeed Massani (This dude is bad ass.) I use him and Jack mostly. I picked Zaeed up at Omega when grabbing Archangel and the Scientist.

Zaeed served in the Alliance military before building a reputation as one of the deadliest guns-for-hire in the Terminus Systems. For 20 years he waged war for profit, but now he wishes to retire from his life of bloodshed and mercenary work. He is hired by Cerberus to join Commander Shepard's team as they work to put an end to the Collector's campaign of human abduction. After Zaeed is hired by Cerberus Shepard is instructed to go to Omega to pick him up. An old man with a heavily scarred face and equipped in a manner resembling a gladiator, he joins the mission exclusively for the money being paid to him by Cerberus. During his loyalty mission, he reveals that he co-founded the Blue Suns.

Zaeed is capable of wielding a sniper rifle and possesses abilities that involve grenades.

Ok yes they are heat cartridges... and are used just as if it was ammo. You still pick it up, or you run out...like ammo. Semantics my friend, semantics.

 

[WhiteNoise]

Very true!

 

[Mussels]

i went a biotic, and was all bitchy i kept running out of ammo. then ofc, reality kicked in and i started tossing people around like babies pew pew? F that, *attaches black hole to guys face*

I'm wishing I went with some sort of biotics. I picked soldier, but I'm completely dependent on my weapon now which has increased some difficulty. Although, it kind of balances out with all of the weapons made available to the soldier class.

I like the new method for searching planets for materials. I actually kind of enjoy scanning and probing the planets.

I absolutely LOVE this change. SOOOO much more fun IMO.

 

[olithereal]

Yeah, the scan and probes definitively is a nice change! and I for one think that the heat sinks tigny used like ammo is pretty cool. I am not big on infinite ammo systems, so that was well welcome.

I went for a vanguard, they are fucking sweet. The biotic charge and Pull are useful as hell...I just wish I could have access to a battle riffle. Meh, the SMG, Pistols and Shotguns do the job just fine

Anyways, gonna go back to playing

There is a thread about performance depending on graphics cards and resolutions here: http://www.pcgameshardware.com/aid,...lactic-battle-Geforce-versus-Radeon/Practice/

It's pretty interesting seeing where an ATI 1950XTX stands My 4890 won't have any issues with this game

 

[Drizzt5]

I love bioware.

 

[mdsx1950]

Playing with the cd is annoying. Anyone tried any No-CD Patches?

 

[Nick89]

GUY I NEEDS SOME HELPS!!!

Anyway, I got the SSV normandy crash site DLC but every time I try to travel to the location of the crash site, mass effect 2 stops responding and I have to restart it.

I'm using windows 7 and the first time I installed it a window popped up saying it wasn't installed correctly so I clicked ok and let windows 7 try to install it correctly. But it just crashs the game when it tries to load the normandy crash site.

as much as i know you have valid, legal intent - please don't ask about warez/no-CD patches on the forum.

Mine did the same thing so I reinstalled it as administrator and didn't get an error message. Give that a try?

1 question, forgive me if it was answered before, does it support ANTIALIASING??

You have to force it. I'm sure I saw it posted a few pages back.

On another topic it was really hard for me to hate any characters in this game. They were so well designed! Samara's boob's looked fake and so I never used her, but that's besides the point. She was still well designed in role. To be honest I'm extremely disappointed with Shepherd's dialogue. He never sounds angry enough as a renegade, and his paragon path is Dr. Phil. I could care less that he's trying to help everyone. I love that about protagonists, but he was really really over-hyped in the beginning of the game. For the sake of truth, I made my previous Shepherd look like a gentile retard in ME1. This is because he sounds like a tool. Brilliant voice acting for EVERYONE else, and whenever Shepherd cracks a joke or tries to make a pass it's just creepy.

Now that that's out of the way, it's time to enjoy this game.

no

wrong, look a few pages back. there's a tweak.

i guess you played a male shepard. female voice acting is great.

 

[kid41212003]

The female voice is excellent. She's really cute when she tries to seduce Jacob .

 

[Binge]

LOL@hitting on Jacob. Females are usually better than males @ voice acting. I wonder why that is, but I won't play female characters in games that I can choose unless it's for completion. Something about how my choices as a player compared with a female's would be different. It's not bad, but it should make sense to someone else.

I usually play a male version that's pretty much myself, and then I play a female character that's a complete and utter bitch. I wonder what that says about my psyche, eh ?
