Did your bonus DLC show up in the new game after signing in with your EA linked account now?

No. Here's my specific issue. I was logged into my EA account. Then went and logged into the Bioware Social using my EA account info. It says I logged in with my EA account info. (Uh..right.) Then it made me pick a username, so I picked my Bioware Social name. It said "That name is registered, enter your password here to claim it as you." (Or somesuch.) Did that and it took me to the Bioware page, which at that point I assumed meant everything was linked up. However, after putting the codes in I see there's a different email address listed over there than I have on EA. I'm guessing that is the problem even though it gave me the impression it linked based on my userID. I've heard folks saying you can call in and link your email addresses though, so I'm not worried about it getting solved, I'm just waiting for it to die down a bit. (Their phones were slammed yesterday.)

fyi, the dr. pepper ME2 promotion codes are now active. there are three different visors you can download.

For those that have the Blood Dragon armor....

Does it always show you wearing the helmet no matter what? The armor is awesome, but I am tired of walking around looking like Boba Fett all the time

EDIT: Just saw slop posted pretty much the same thing.

I noticed that today too. She looks them in the eye, and then off to the side, and then the eye again.

I'm coming to terms with the fact that ME2, while a superior game, is unlike ME1, which was an RPG with shooter elements, whereas ME2 is a shooter with RPG elements.

As an infiltrator, I'm ok with this change.

Hey Guys

I've just started playing the first one and unsure about a few controls as to what they do. I bought a "original" gae used and it doesn't have a manual so I had to look up the controls.

A- Button - what is "Storm" and how to use it?

*Power Wheel
RT- Right Thumb - Direct Action?
A-Button - Cue Ability as Action?
X-Button - Map Chosen Ability?

Thanks for any help on this.

I think the main "problem" with ME2 is that instead of fixing game elements people complained about in the first game, Bioware just removed them. No attempts at refinement, or revamping, they just got the axe:

Instead of making the inventory/upgrade system more manageable, they streamlined it by lobotomizing it and practically removing them all together (along with no more dropped loot or XP gained from downed enemies). Instead of making the Mako or planet exploration fun, they just got rid of them. Don't like waiting for your gun to cool down? Now you can just reload! You don't even have to worry about your squad-mates anymore.

They kept saying, "we've addressed all of those complaints in ME2". And we all assumed they'd fix them, by tweaking or redesigning them. Nope, they just hit the delete button. Not cool BioWare, and kinda lazy. Still a great game overall, but in many ways, it doesn't feel like a succesor to ME so much as a replacement re-designed for broader appeal. Then again, I just barely started so I may be way off base.

I already pissed off Jacob asking him him about his relationship with Miranda

Question: Did they add anything to let you know a planet or system has already been surveyed or explored? I remember going back the same planets and systems a few times wondering, "have I been here already?"

Storm is a fancy way of saying "run". When in combat you just run a little faster.

RB pulls up your power wheel which I think shows you how to quickly map the buttons. I never did this through the whole game.

So its more like Borderlands..than Fallout..

and that makes me kind of sad.

The planets don't have names until you'll visit them so yeah it's pretty easy.

oh ok cool. so if you see a name you've been there.

I know this is a ME2 thread, but it is much more active than a ME1 thread would be. How do I change squad mates in ME1?

The system will tell you what percent of it you've completed

You can only do it before you leave the Normandy, you can't change them in mission so what ever characters you picked to start you're stuck with unless you go back to the ship.

Yes, only it's got way more NPC interaction than either game.

makes sense..but sucks lol.

Does anybody know how to actually recruit Zaeed? I downloaded him from the Cerberus Network, but he's not showing up in my journal and I've not gotten any messages about him on my personal terminal.

And speaking of Cerberus Network, the fact that my wife doesn't have access to it on her gamertag (on the SAME 360) really, really suuuuuuuucks.

For what it's worth I finally got this resolved tonight after waiting on hold for EA for 75 minutes. 5 minutes on hold with the rep and everything is all good. Just happy to be done with it and lesson learned about doing that shit first thing the next time around.

I haven't tried to get him yet but he's supposed to be on Omega.

Fuck scanning for minerals for upgrades sucks so terribly bad! Has anyone found a planet that's good for Platinum or EEZO mining?

I had sex with Jack!! It was great. You have to be rough with her with the choices. You'll understand.
