Ok i just bought Collectors edtion from BB its a very cool case

Delta6326 · Jan 30, 2010

Sorry for double post but, im trying to download the collectors armor and they gave me a little game card with a code and then a bigger sized one about the size of the hand book but just a front with a code and they are both different codes so does that mean i have 2 codes for the same thing? if so then i may have a extra for someone

EDIT: just got to the Normandy sweet i love the game so far and the graphics at 1080p are great if anyone wants to know this is what my guy looks like 241.6B8.197.624.8CH.B4D.MS9.6IC.A66.7I4.E47.5

One other question. Can you use the savegames from ME1, and if not, what's the big difference? Or is it any??

Yes, you get some bonuses if you import a high-level character and also decisions from Mass Effect 1 carry over, deciding whether some NPCs are alive or dead, and other things I won't go into to avoid spoilers.

If you do not import, then you play with pre-set decisions that you "made" in the first game.

It is VERY cool to import a character, because the decisions tie in really well.

BTW, has anyone noticed that the planet scanning and ship navigation look like they were taken from Star Control 2 ? This is pretty cool, I loved SC2 back in the early 90s (Heck, I still play the OpenSource clone "The Ur-Quan Masters" on my linux laptop to pass the time), and it is really the time people remembered how good that game was, and how ahead of its time it was, too.

changes you made in the story affect ME2. For example, you could have got someone killed - so they wont be around (and their friends are gunna be pissed at you)

I just finished the game as a Paragon. Now I'm going to import my ME2 save for a nice little Renegade new game plus.

Just doing the main story along with loyalty missions as well as searching for materials for upgrades took about 35 hours. I'm curious how long it will take when I complete all of the sidequests. In the first game, I only completed it once as a Paragon. I'm tempted to go back to replay as a Renegade to see how my actions affect things in ME2.

I'm a noob at RPG , what should i take care while playing ME2 ?

If you play at my slow pace, then you got around a good 22-23 hours more but that's 22-23 hours of FUN!

I do play at a slow pace

I tend to like exploring every nook and cranny.

Soldier is pretty basic and offers the most armor and usage of weapons. No psychic or tech powers though.

KainXS · Feb 2, 2010

i just gotta know, . . . . has anyone gotten the ending when only shepard lives, . . . . I can't do it, I just can't, like 3 people always live

and mordin dies doing almost anything, he either gets shot in the face, rocket to the face, or cut up by a laser . . . . .

Does anyone know the best way to kill the damn collectors. Especially the collector harbinger I'm fricken stuck at a certain part on insane.

Muhad · Feb 2, 2010

Question for PC version.

When hacking and selecting the correct code with space bar the selection turns green, but then nothing happens and end up with a hack failure.

What am I doing wrong?

There are 3 pieces of code you need to find. There are a number of ways you can fail that test, but you're not making it very clear how you are failing.

You NEED at least one person in the party to destroy shields/barriers. The more the merrier. Break away their shields, toss them around, and use either incendiary rounds or bionic rounds (Jack)

DrPepper · Feb 3, 2010

I had to restart and pick different teammates and guns. Finally completed it 100% on insane. 22 hour marathon

Snake05 · Feb 3, 2010

I finished it a few days ago. I went above and beyond, doing every side mission and raping every planet of resources. 45 hours later, and starting it all over again to try out some Renegade stuff. Wish I'd of tried Sentinel the first time, I'm loving it.

More DLC to come in a couple of weeks! http://twitter.com/masseffect2/status/8601887217

Dr. Pepper has some unique DLC that they are giving away (you don't to by Dr. Pepper) http://hellforge.gameriot.com/blogs/...romo-DLC-Codes

Muhad · Feb 4, 2010

ME was the first RPG for me and I got bored with it because I favor FPS MP with 1st person view.
But with ME2 I am really enjoying it ... it's captivating.

Yukikaze · Feb 4, 2010

My damned case replacement isn't here yet (Short story: My new ATCS 840 arrived, I took my system apart then opened the ATCS 840 box, only to find out someone probably played baseball with the said ATCS 840 as the ball since it was seriously damaged in transit, somehow), but I couldn't wait any longer. I got my i7 rig running on my desk so I can keep playing ME2. lol.

Combat is really, really, really, really fun. I am enjoying it immensely with an Adept. Totally awesome.

Bjorn_Of_Iceland · Feb 4, 2010

Anyone else getting weird clipping problems? Like getting stuck on boxes or map objects (Feels like getting "inside" the object's collision box) making your character elevated or something. Or sometimes, not being able to move at all.

Happens to me sometime, all I can do was reload last save.. any other alternative to it? Because I hate to replay a whole sequence again on reloading..

pretty obvious how they squeezed a few fps for the sake of consoles.. sacrificing accurate collision detection in place for a simpler invisible box tricks

Delta6326 · Feb 4, 2010

nope only problem for me is that sometimes the subtitle don't blind in with the back ground and there highlighted with a black box

i saw that. it looked weird, but i think it may have been deliberate so that it remained readable.

Couldn't finish the game untill today. Had so many things to finish first....

It has been so long since the last time I actually enjoy an RPG's story, and actually care to read/listen to the dialogues.

Damn... they let my lil Grunt died...

, and then Thane...

the people who die depend on your choices/decisions. you could go back, do things differently, and different people would have died

Mass Effect 2 Details :)

Your opinion

Mass Effect 1 was better than 2

Mass Effect 2 was better than 1

Both were equally good.
