With everything they've given me for free already, I'm ok with a measly $7 for this. Especially if it helps bring more free stuff down the line. I, however, will not be paying $2 for new outfits for Jack, Thane, and Garrus(?) tomorrow.

Same, I'm in for this but not the costumes.

Anyone else download the Firewalker pack today?

I played through a few missions and it's pretty lame so far. It's all the fun of driving a Mako, but without a map this time.

Picked this up on a whim at BB for $39.99, not having played the first one. I was getting pretty sick of COD:MW2 online gameplay for various reasons and was looking for a good, engrossing single-player story. A couple hours in and this baby definitely rules.

I got it, but haven't played it yet. I'll be getting back to my Insane run on this soon enough, though I may actually play this and the new character DLC on my original, perfect run. For Insane, I'm thinking of just running through the story. Forget loyalty or anything unnecessary.

Saw this on Kotaku.

A mysterious countdown timer has appeared on BioWare's home page, as well as the pages for Dragon Age: Origins and Mass Effect 2. What is BioWare revealing on Monday?

I didn't realize until I started playing again today that since I finished it I've played nothing but FPS (Bioshock2, Borderlands, and Battlefield: BC2) so the controls were jarring at first. Shepard looked looked like he incurred brain damage on the suicide mission because he was running into walls and people on the Normandy.

I think you should go buy the first one for $20 and play that first :)

Second the advice as I asked the same thing a long time back. Granted it'll set you back time wise for playing ME2 but it was well worth the wait and the experience. And yes the storyline is a large part of both games.

Saw this over at Teamxbox about the new character coming up...

I'm not really enjoying the Firewalker dlc,they removed mid-mission saves. I keep dying and having to start the mission all over. Makes me really miss the Mako.

Yeah, I got 2/3 the way through one of them, died, and then just turned it off.

I think it's safe to say we now know why this was free:lol:

In the interest of avoiding spoilers, I've been avoiding this thread.
I just bought ME2 since it was 40 at Best Buy and I had RZ certs and a gift card.
Should I keep it?

Other factors: I'm still playing Dragon Age - I'm about to start the Landsmeet - and I might have lost the xbox for a while since getting my wife hooked on Bioshock. Obviously if I wait long enough it'll drop more, or become available on Goozex - but then I won't get Cerberus.

I liked the story and atmosphere of ME1 but didnt finish it. The loading elevators and pace seemed very slow, and I didn't really like controlling the multiple characters. Perhaps now that I'm experienced
with Dragon Age it will be a little more natural. I also thought the inventory system was a little fiddly.

So, keep/play now, return forever, or return and wait for price drop?

keep it...play it...love it...

Yeah keep it and play it. They fixed the inventory system.

MrX 03-28-10 12:42 AM

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 
I wouldn't say they fixed it. They dumbed it down considerably.

I never had a problem with the first games inventory system... :shrug:

I wouldn't say it was a major issue, but there were some annoyances. Especially if your inventory filled up and you picked up new items that had to be converted to omni-gel.

I picked this up over the weekend and I'm hoping to start it some time this week.

I just finished - literally. I lost Tali in the last battle but the rest survived. Looking forward to ME3.

tonyc3742 03-29-10 07:01 PM

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 
About how long did it take you to finish?

I didn't have any "problems" with the inventory system, i just recall being mildly annoyed by it. Maybe there were too many choices and not enough differentiation between them.

you have to start over right now...Tali is a hot piece of ass...I just know it...and you will not get to sleep with her, and see her face and ass in the third game if you don't save her.
