Woodsinho Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Word is that the loading times are less long this time while still being too long by normal standards.I am looking forward to getting Cromarty Shepherd back for more galactic adventures. 2 days to go.

gemini Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I have this pre-ordered on Steam. I never played the original, never got around to it. But I hope this will be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kernel Loaf Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I can't fucking wait for this. Hopefully it arrives today from Game.I am playing it on PC which no doubt will be superior to the 360 version - the command menu resembles Knights of the Old Republic a lot more on PC. I tried to play it on 360 but it didn't feel that intuitive, plus the frame rate was a lot worse.At least the elevator scenes aren't so bad when you are using Steam because you can just look up porn while you wait.Unfortunately, there's no planet roaming sections in the Mako anymore I liked fighting the sandworm things.

Le Stu Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I'm tempted by the Steam version, mainly 'cos my hexbox's '18 month lease' just expired and I won't get it back in time for the release.But dayam, that'll be the tits on the big screen.

Lonz Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Picked up Mass Effect for a 10 in Asda a few months ago but unfortunately Modern Warfare 2 has meant i've barely scratched the surface of it. It seemed pretty good, if a bit fiddly at times.I think i'll dust it down and get back into the swing of it this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Stu Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I caved and went Steam. How fucking shit is it that there's a 'deluxe version' with gaydor super weapons though? Ohhhh, I need to pay 10 more so I can rub my shiny bellend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Stu Posted January 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Are you able to get access to the Cerberus Network for free with the version you bought?]Yeah, and the extra content you mentioned is available as soon as you register your key. As far as I can tell, the only things you don't get with the basic Steam version are the 'chitinous' armour and the collectors gun.*Woah, there's mad crazy bonuses for this game.Mass Effect 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaI might nick out for a can of Dr Pepper later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ickle fairy Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I am definitely buying this game when I get the chance. The first one was ace - hope this is as entertaining! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast Caz Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Aghh I'm a twat and read the spoiler without thinking. Can't wait for my next day off to play this properly. All types of rad,gnarly,awesome,super psyched !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Stu Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 I've been on this all weekend. Some of the main dialogue sequences are amazing, particularly the ones with Carrie-Ann Moss (who's sexxxx even as the voice of a computer generated character.) and in general some surprisingly witty little lines for a VG. Although, I suspect the budget is on par with some Hollywood films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast Caz Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 The illusive man is Martin Sheen I swear on it!!Looks and voice are very close.edit JUST CHECKED AND IT IS.This game is unbelievably good.I'm not even running it an HD t.v and it still looks amazing. Charecters are good and the plot so far is good. I wanted to sleep with Dr Chakwas after plying her with Brandy. Miranda is a gap toothed bitch with a an oz accent that makes me want to spew in her ass. Me as in Sheperd. The new upgrade and research systems are pretty cool aswell. Only encountered one minor bug whilst I revisited the citadel upon the meeting with the councial.What am I doing ? It's my day off, it's half 11 and I'm socialising on a forum. MUST get back to reality and dedicate myself to this game.P.S the fact it is spread between two discs makes me undergarments moist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kernel Loaf Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Words cannot do this game justice. I am a very skeptical person when it comes to new games, and I never buy into the hype. However, the writing and storytelling in this game comes close to the level of Deus Ex and sometimes I just find myself looking around, soaking the environments in for what they are.Definitely one of the most immersive games I have ever played, and there's still plenty to do.

I assume you eventually pass through the Omega 4 Relay because it is mentioned in the trailers for the game before it came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Completed it yesterday morning and instantly started a new playthru. Went through first time being nice to everyone, this time I'm being a right cunt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went through first time being nice to everyone, this time I'm being a right cunt!That's how I play! I'm taking my time on the first round, doing all the side quests and stuff.It doesn't look like it's as hard to grab all the achievements in this one. The first game took three play throughs at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well!Yeah the acheivments are pretty shit to be honest. 35/50 so far.I'm at a pivotal point in the game so I'm going back to do the side quests and scan the planets for more side missions.
