Mass Effect 2, thoughts?

[DBakerr]

Alright, pretty much the title but..

Who's likin'/lovin' this game?

I know I've been enjoying the trilogy(soon to be I guess :/). Only reason why I'm writing this and not playing it is due to the fact that I'm eating!

It was a little hard to get used to the new combat system etc. but it's very enjoyable now.

Still on first play through, but give me some slack.. I'm playing on Insanity.

So, thoughts for you guys and gals? :)

AMAZING game, just finished my second play through. I love how the decisions you make influence what you can or cannot say to your team and the way shepard's actions in the game change the way the story unfolds. best game I have played since mw2

[DBakerr]

Hahaha :) Yeah I enjoy that as well. I imported my character, how about you?

ALSO! Today, I actually got my hands on probably one of the last for sale collectors edition copies anywhere.. I was very happy about that.

How I've been playing is.. I work at a rental store, and.. yeah, that explains everything else :)

What differences are made in the game when you import your character from ME1?

[joe2heatley]

^pretty sure none. The only differences you will find are when you complete ME2 then start another new game and import, you retain the karma stuff and your powers.

[DBakerr]

I am pretty sure that characters that you have killed in the first one that are in the second one will not be there with your imported character, if you can even kill some of the ones that are in #2? :p

Amazing game. Sucked up 40 hours of my life easily in the span of a week or two. I have to admit, it was TOUGH trying to stay loyal to Ashley from ME1 so it can carry over to ME2. Grr.

Who did you guys romance? First playthrough I got Tali and the second time got Miranda. Miranda is a freeeeeak. Lol

[DBakerr]

I just beat the game on insanity and.. wow.. that was.. phenomenal.

(First playthrough)

I romanced Tali in this game.

1st one I romanced Ashley.

I may have, slightly.. messed up though. I chose to Continue instead of import. So, now I don't know if I made the right choice or the wrong one.. :/

Great game! I started on my second run a couple weeks ago, but with BioShock 2 I haven't had much time to do anything, also it's on Insanity so cut me some slack too xD

@Warblade, there are tons and tons of little minute differences if you import. If you've saved people or creatures (for instance the Rachni queen), you'll have unique interactions with those from your past. If you don't have direct contact with people you helped or harmed, you'll get thank you e-mails from them. All in all, it's a pretty nice touch. Sure, your squad death continues from the first one and your romance does too, but those are the big things. The little touches make the game much more personal, I believe.

As for myself, first time through I stayed loyal to Ashley because I heard it affected ME3. I tried playing it through on insanity second time through...and holy crap, what in the world. I dropped it down to veteran and I've just been playing as a villain and to get the paramour achievement. Fun, fun.

Cmon Mr Glasket! You can do it dude! Just play defensive. Somehow, I never ever ran out of clips for my weapons on Insanity.

I wish, man. I'm a pretty aggressive player and I just wasn't having fun sitting behind cover all the time (even though I know it's a cover-based game). I'm playing as a vanguard so I normally charge and destroy with the shotgun and some melee attacks. Don't get me wrong, I like to play tactically as well, but if you're not having fun, then why do it? I give props to anybody that has the patience and dedication to stick it out, though.

[DBakerr]

Heh, Thanks. But.. dude, the feeling you get when you finish.. is amazing. It's worth it and I think you should try again.
