Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 

Yeah, looks amazing, and it seems like they've addressed every issue I had with the last game: cut/paste missions, technical problems, etc.

The only thing is that I finished the first game the week it game out - that was a while ago - I'm afraid I don't recall much of the story, certainly not the details.

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 

Same here. I read up on the summary of the game, but hell if I can remember what choices I made during it! And much of the story seemed completely new to me, despite the fact that I played through the whole game (and most of the side quests).

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 

So play through the game again. That's what I did.

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 

I'm playing through it again and having a great time. I forgot how good the first game was.

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 

I ordered this last summer at EA Store with that Sims 3 Gift Card deal at Best Buy. Apparently I'll get some sort of Armor thing with the preorder, I guess.

I could never finish the first game since that stupid Mako car thing kept getting shelled. Maybe I should finish it before starting this, but I don't know for sure...

edit: After watching that IGN review, I guess I'll have to go back to the first before playing this one. This might take a while....

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 

Mass Effect 1 in 5 minutes... a little funny, but it actually does recap everything that happened, and if you played it a nice refresher.

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 

Funny, but they left out alot.

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 

I just preordered it from Gamestop. I'm so weak!

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 

Having just finished Dragon Age, I'm going to try and give Mass Effect a quick run through with a new character. I figure I can hit all the main planets pretty quickly and maybe grab a few achievements that I didn't do on my other playthroughs.

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 

I agree, and for someone who has not played the game that would do nothing for them, but for someone that has it does a nice job in 5 minutes. I really hope they explore the Shadow Broker stuff from Mass Effect more.

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 

Thing with that is that I was happy with the way I played it and the choices I made (obtained all party members no one died and I was a lesbian!), I'm not sure if I can recreate that specific outcome again, and I wouldn't want to muck up my old save - so I'd like a refresher on my own specific playthrough.

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 

I don't think you can finish ME1 without someone dying.

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 

You could always load up the last save and review your journal to see what choices you've made. I loaded up my very first playthrough at a save right before I went to Ilos so I could do the Bring Down the Sky DLC. After reviewing my previous choices and being satisfied, I did the DLC then beat Ilos and the rest of the game.

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 

Wow, I hadn't seen any of those videos for the different classes. Totally awesome. So, if you were say a soldier in the 1st one, do you have to continue along with that class or can you switch it up?

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 

from what I understand you can switch up....

Also, the buzz is really building for the Vanguard class...I think I am going with that first..

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 

after a google search, looks like you can switch it up. i'm gonna have to rewatch the videos to decide if i want to switch it up. i like the idea of having biotic powers as well as decent weapons.

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 

Yeah, I remember there were only 2 choices on the wheel

spoilered for those who haven't played the first yet

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 

Same here. I was a Lesbo Infiltrator but I did have 1 death based on a choice on each play through.

I played through "Good" the first time through then I played again as "bad". I traded ME1 but I have still have 2 saves from the 2 games. Now I'm not sure how this will work out on ME2.

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 

They showed on one of the videos there's an option on the start up menu to upload the save so you shouldn't need the first disc.

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 

Well finally finished ME again took about 28 hours, and I did all the side quests this time. Got the Completionist achievement and Paramour (for making it with the blue chick). Now bring on ME2!

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 

That seems to make much more sense in a game without respawning enemies.

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 

Oh ok, thanks. I'll have to check that out. I wasn't so much worried about having the disc as I was worried about how my 2 play through will influence my ME2 games.

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 

I have a ME1 save file, but I played the game with the default settings. I want to play ME2 with a different class.

Am I stuck with the same class if I import?

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 

You can adjust your imported character's appearance and class.

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 

Awesome, thanks. :up:
