Irida Mershkov Gallente Honour Before Death Nominis Expers	Posted - 2010.01.20 10:55:00 - [1] Edited by: Irida Mershkov on 20/01/2010 10:56:04 Edited by: Irida Mershkov on 20/01/2010 10:55:09 Nine slow days left... Annoyingly though, I think only the US get the black/wormhole/toilet-hole gun for pre-order, as none of the UK orders I noticed had it, Terminus armour is good for me though! Edit: but I still have to pick whether I want to roll Vanguard, Sentinel or Infiltrator.

It seems play.com doesn't know about this, though. Oh, good to see someone may know the answer, as the toilet gun looks damn awesome. Do people who order from Amazon to get the other armour set get anything else?

Irida Mershkov Gallente Honour Before Death Nominis Expers	Posted - 2010.01.24 11:54:00 - [5] Edited by: Irida Mershkov on 24/01/2010 12:07:12 Someone hasn't watched a single dev walkthrough yet. My sole hands on play through moment over a buds for a few hours was bloody brilliant though, can't wait. Quests are a hell of a lot more polished, they're very fun now, as I'm no longer staring at Texture_Dungeon#2 all day every day, side companion quests are fun, and the thermal clips* are very easy to find, I was swimming in my quick hour playthrough, however ammo is a pain early on, but stops becoming a problem as you progress, bit like Assassin's Creed II with money. Fuel only is spent when moving between star systems, so it isn't an issue, as the larger moves are done with the Mass Relay gates. Mining is pants on head what the Christ though. Edit: Though I do agree on the levelling system, it's essentially just four levels which have big increments between them, as opposed to having say ranking up Sniper Rifle up ten times and it being pretty terrible until you hit nine, looks a bit devoid though in that regard.
Irida Mershkov Gallente Honour Before Death Nominis Expers	Posted - 2010.01.24 18:17:00 - [6] Originally by: Akita T ME2 is just a heavily dumbed down, much more arcadey/shootey version of ME1 with slightly better graphics. Meh. Pathetic. Mass Effect 2 disappoints in too many ways.. So, it swaps infinite ammo for an ammo system, has far more varied, and interesting quests, with some nicer presentation (looking at you moon base) and has a better shooting system compared to the tacked on first one, and it's a disappointment? Quote: Unless you're a console kiddie, then go right ahead, you'll probably like it either way. You lost.
Irida Mershkov Gallente Honour Before Death Nominis Expers	Posted - 2010.01.24 18:25:00 - [7] Originally by: Ace2001 Originally by: Akita T I couldn't care less ammo is plentiful down the road. The fact that ammo was infinite was established even storyline-wise in Mass Effect 1, it was in the codex entries IIRC. I swear the Codex said that the weapons actually DID have ammo, it was just that...Hmm...How do I explain it... The way I recall it working was that you had a block of w/e the substance was that the guns used, and each shot was a small shaving off of that block, so while it would eventually all get used up, you'd have like thousands and thousands of rounds, so there-forth in the short term fights like the ones you fought in ME1, you'd only ever have to worry about the heat. I could be wrong though. :D Btw Akita, how do you have some play time with it already? There's a quote by Wrex in the first game that he had a fight with some Asari Commando/Mercenary/Something where he actually had to scavenge ammo off dead bodies as he was beginning to run out. But the sequel does establish that guns use the thermal clips for continuous fire due to some advances in the strength of weapons, or something like that.
Irida Mershkov Gallente Honour Before Death Nominis Expers	Posted - 2010.01.24 22:26:00 - [8] Originally by: Salena Tarra I am fully expecting this to absolutely consume my existence for a couple of weeks as I play the game through with all my different characters. Also omg I hadn't seen that launch trailer yet, was that Martin Sheen doing the voice over? He makes anything that was already epic about 1000 times more so :D Yup. The game is officially Mass Effect 2: Martin Sheen.
Irida Mershkov Gallente Honour Before Death Nominis Expers	Posted - 2010.01.25 01:18:00 - [9] Originally by: Irida Mershkov So, it swaps infinite ammo for an ammo system, has far more varied, and interesting quests, with some nicer presentation (looking at you moon base) and has a better shooting system compared to the tacked on first one, and it's a disappointment? I could have bought the "limited ammo" thing in spite of overriding the backstory of the first game if they wouldn't have implemented it so half-assedly. So you use thermal clips to instantly get rid of waste heat (in spite of weapons before being able to dissipate waste heat slowly), and those thermal clips are universal across all weapon types (in the CURRENT backstory)... so far, palatable, I guess. But then, instead of giving you a generic thermal clip max storage capacity, they give you a SEVERELY limited, weapon-dependent max storage, and you CAN'T use the clips "stored" on any of your other weapons. Not just that, but your SQUAD never actually uses any thermal clips - so I simply ended up sitting back, letting my team take out everybody, with me just picking off stragglers to conserve "ammo", and I STILL found myself running a bit low at times, even with the +10% max capacity armor upgrade. The fact the "stronger" weapons have a smaller carry capacity doesn't help at all either. Seriously, you feel like the dude in "Doom" before you pick up the backpack... the only difference being that all ammo is the same on the ground, becoming whatever ammo you need for the weapon you currently have on hand, then ammo for the other weapons you have "space" for ammo on. So no, I would NOT consider this system an improvement - it COULD have been an improvement, but they botched it, badly. As for the shooting system : oh, yeah, "great" improvement... in the middle of a battle you don't even really notice anything other than headshots, and even those you only notice because of the extra damage. Now, if you shot somebody in the leg and they started limping (before they simply died), or if you could shoot out their weapons so they would have to go get them, or shooting them in the eye to go blind, those WOULD have been improvements indeed. But I'm not seeing any of it. I suppose on the highest difficulty level you would have enough time to see how your leg or arm shots have some ever so slightly different effect, but for practical purposes, they might as well have all enemies be a rectangle with a circle on top and it wouldn't really have mattered. For that almost purely cosmetic improvement, they had to sacrifice the RPG feel in favor of a pure shooter feel. Like I probably said, I hate shooters, I like RPGs. I liked ME1 with max shooting assistance. Honestly, I prefer the system the way it currently is now, (granted I do rage internally whenever I see the term clip, god damn you bioware) but I can see your point if you dislike the shooter elements, but its was more or less said to be a shooter-based RPG, but I can see your point. (Limb damage would be excellent too, but I have yet to see a game implement this properly). I also see your meaning on the simplified rpg system, but it still does work, granted, not quite the way I would have liked it, but it doesn't get in the way of it being a great game, one I'm certain I'll play through a number of times. The way it is explained is pretty bloody lazy though I do admit.
Irida Mershkov Gallente Honour Before Death Nominis Expers	Posted - 2010.01.25 09:43:00 - [10] Originally by: Victor Valka The important question we all wanted to know is - who did you do? In other words, Tali or GTFO! fyp
Irida Mershkov Gallente Honour Before Death Nominis Expers	Posted - 2010.01.25 15:31:00 - [11] You can sex up Garrus if female, don't think there are any male-on-male romances though. You can import any completion file of ME1 Tim (each time you complete a seperate save slot is made), or just choose the 'canon' choice from Bioware.

Double standards towards homosexuality make Baby Jesus cry! Funny how it works. Have heard a guy say in Cardiff before "LESBIANS ARE AWESOME BRAH, BUT GAYS ARE ***GOTS". Something along that line regardless.
Irida Mershkov Gallente Honour Before Death Nominis Expers	Posted - 2010.01.25 18:02:00 - [13] I think people have yet to realise that ME2 is more or less a set up of ME3. Also, Jack? what the Christ?

For maximum hilarity; is there a homosexual romance option for male Shepard? I was wrong. Rule 34! While we're on the topic of men-love, is it me, or does anyone else hate the guts of the voice actor for Shepard? Male Sheps VA is a lot better in 2 than 1, in 1 he had the most deadpan voice imaginable, that said, Femshep is the best one purely because her voice actor is actually pretty good, and makes it convincing. Edit: Yes you can sex up Kelly Chambers too, both genders.

The daughter of Samara, the asari justicar. You can get her at the end of the "loyalty" mission for her mother. Found out who she was five mins after I posted, go figure. Is she better than Samara? Admittedly, I have no info on Samara at all.
Irida Mershkov Gallente Honour Before Death Nominis Expers	Posted - 2010.01.29 13:12:00 - [20] ^Ammo has never been a problem on my Infiltrator, <3 my cloak and sniper rifle, it's just a one-shot wonder, ammo isn't scarce if you search rooms, Sniper rounds are though so ensure those headshots, and it's very easy to get 10 kills with 10 shots, Krogan barred from the Equation. Game is pretty **** on normal, so I ramped it up to veteran straight away and it feels more like the previous one. God damn the tactical cloak is excellent though, use it, switch to sniper, get into position, Archangel and Zaeed are distractions, bang, target down, bang, target down. Engage cloak, relocate and switch to Machine Pistol if I run out of ammo. Mining oh god its slow and I need to upgrade it, where can you buy probes too? The Mako is gone, and thank god, the Mako sucked ass. You see Tali so early yet cannot have.

Successful mission, got new guns, all went well, go back to cabin. Fish dead. God damn. Edit: The Normandy Cook is my favourite character though. "I wash my hands, most of the time."

Fish dead. God damn. Moment of silence for my dead fish. Their bodies consigned to the void. Fortunately, you can talk to kelly and have her feed them for you. Never again shall a fish die in vain. PS I now have to take back single god damm complaint i have about the infiltrator. Because I just learned that a Heavy Mech explodes like a nuke if you take out it's head. Brings a new definition to "BOOM! HEADSHOT!" Honestly? I'd say Infiltrator is just the definition of power-playing at times, Sniper ammo isn't too bad providing you scavenge like a ***, and the kit does lack crowd control (my black storm gun solves this though), but god damn its fun, especially now I have the extended cloak, I can just power my way through locations, get behind the enemy and boo ya, enemies dying. Got Grunt and Tali last night, Grunt is pretty funny, liked him more than I thought I would, but as a class he seems a bit bare bones so I don't see myself using him, listening to him yell in combat is funny though. Tali doesn't seem too bad, the engineer drone seems a bit pants though, even ranked at four with the combat drone upgrade, but I was fighting the Blue Suns mercs rather than Synthetics at the time as a side mission so I'll have to keep using her for a better example. Any Infiltrators got a new sniper rifle yet? I'm still using the starter one but have gotten new everything else, and the Tempest SMG you find is pretty uber too, the Tempest one, especially with Disruptor ammo, it goes through Geth like no tomorrow. Kal'Reeger is my favourite NPC so far as well: "Take that you Synthetic son of a ***!" Edit: Anyone have any tips for taking down the Scions? the heavy-collector synthetic dudes? they just seem to ignore all my tech attacks, sniper rifle takes too many rounds to be worth using on the sods, biotics don't work and my Carnifex pistol just abuses my ammo count If I use it for too long.

I got a new sniper rifle in the Dantias Tower when picking up Thane. The last section before the bridge. It's near the end in a side corridor next to a corpse, some ammo and a cash point. As for Scions, I only faced one so far, on the first "storyline mission" you get from the Illusive man. Best tactic for me was using rapid fire weapons (or the Collector Beam Weapon, you get that in the storyline too) to burn through the shields (all the while staying out of it's firing arc, the thing hurts) and then throw as much inferno/incinerate abilities at it as possible to get through the armour. It'll put it's barriers back up a few times, but you can get it down. That one took me a good 5 minutes to kill though. They're tough nuts to crack. Currently playing on "normal" and I've died quite a few times already, but the Vanguard class seems to have some risks to it, charge can deal awesome damage, but it's going to get you into trouble quite often too. Got two new sniper rifles today, got the one in Thanes mission, didn't like it as much as the other one, the Widow-anti material rifle, as its weak as hell, but has a lot of ammunition and is semi auto. Scions are still a pain, but the Widow can take them down in 3 shots, just god damn they are a pain in the ass. I've died a fair few times, usually when A) Krogan Bum Rush. B) Collector Harbinger Charge. C) Failing to activate my cloak, or getting shot up or running the wrong way once cloaked. (Good fun here, was doing Grunts loyalty mission, relocating with my cloak and the battlemaster saw me, backhanded, I went down like a ***** whilst Garrus was sniping from the other end of the map. , Jacob was already down too, go figure. I just have to decide now as I get Disruptor ammo lv 4, whether to for the heftier rounds (which will be very useful for YMIR mechs and the Heavy Collector flying units, can't quite recall what they're named though), or squad-wise disruptor rounds, think I'll go for the stronger rounds to be honest. Edit: I also wish the Engineer drone was stronger, it's useful for forcing enemies into the open, but it does ass all damage.

On that note playing as Jane Shepard been a rather nice experince and I assume very different from the John Shepard (who im trying to tailor to be a total renagade in the first game now) I enjoyed how Joker is a major character now and would have loved to see more EDI Joker conversations in the next game. Out of all the new characters though I think Garrus (yeah hes new, nothing like his old self) is the only one that remains interesting, the new surprise guest was way to late in the game though would have liked to seen more Tali conversations/conflicts between the two or Tali and EDI conversations The first game is downright unplayable to me now, but I can see myself doing a fourth playthrough eventually. Garrus is a complete bad ass in this game compared to the first too.

No, he's been amped all the way up to 11 in Me2, Me1 Garrus doesn't have **** on Me2 Garrus, especially his loyalty mission and introduction hoooooly balls.

That and the bachelore party? Hell ya they were both very entertaining. The game was great, I never saw many conversations between Tali and EDI but the ones between EDI and Joker were hilarious. Also LMAO at Jokers robot dance in response to Legion. I want to replay the ending cause it was fun, got to think on how to do a second playthrough though as a different class. I wish I had ME1 on PC so I could have a direct save on how I want it, but alas I just have the saves from websites. Edit: Did you see the two Krogan on their homeworld with one talking about how he thinks he found his son? That was awesome too, can't think of anymore great conversations besides that and the two Krogan in the Citadel talking about the Presidium and the fish up there. I need to resolve the fish quest, but I haven't explored the citadel much, I need to get the conversations with Tali and EDI too, the ones with Joker are amazing though that is so true. The bachelor party is great yeah, "That's called a belly button, you'll be taking shots out of it later on!". I actually quite like the Krogan homeworld, the discussions between the Krogan are great, I just wish that (same with the Migrant Fleet and Ilium, and the Citadel/Omega to some degree) that there was more there, what is there is great, I just wish there was more of it. C-Sec with lots of humans is also very interesting, especially Captain ~~Saul Tigh~~ Bailey, some good character development into even the least important NPCs. I just need more credits now, trying to buy out a lot of stuff on the shops on the Citadel and Omega before I even touch Iliums stuff, but my credit bank is hitting zero all the time. I'm looking forward to a second playthrough as pure-renegade.

Combat sucks, but the game in itself is hellishly addictive. I miss Wrex, though, he had some very nice things to add. Combat sucks? you having a laugh squire? You prefer just mindlessly absorbing damage whilst firing endlessly into the target until they hit the floor?

Bioware thought ahead. That's awesome, haha. My fave were Wrex and Tali in the elevators. "Do you Krogans only ever talk about your great wars?" "Yep."

Also to the citadel and Ilos What I really want to try though is brining legion to the council for the first time to get my specter licence reinstated with the alive council but that will require me beating the first ME again. aside from that legion deserves alot more dialouge and story options imo but alas that would be something very intersting for ME3. so far... I havent gotten a single suicide squad through without casualties, every one's list is seeminlgy different. So far Im at distraction trying ot figure out who wont die in that one and im hoping i dont have to swap out with the rest of the winnning combination there. Bringing Legion to the Quarian fleet basically just has everyone gasping, and also having them ask Legion about retaking the homeworld, he replies that the Geth are peaceful and only attack in defence, and the Quarian homeworld hasn't been touched, as the Quarians were, and still are the first to fire. To the Citadel Shep basically just says "he's my personal synthetic" You do get Legion way too late yet. Originally by: Daphne Mezereum No, I prefer turn based combat, and I'd prefer if my RPG wouldn't turn into and FPS half the time (looking at you "Fallout" 3). The whole "duck, shoot, duck, shoot" mechanics are, for me, boring. Except in STALKER, but that game had a much better combat model. Back to your JRPGs with you.

Irida Mershkov Gallente Honour Before Death Nominis Expers	Posted - 2010.02.02 23:43:00 - [36] 36 hours, first playthrough, just got Samara, doing loyalty quests then the Reaper IFF. Second playthrough is gonna be Renegade Femshep, Sentinel or Adept, any reccomendations?
Irida Mershkov Gallente Honour Before Death Nominis Expers	Posted - 2010.02.03 22:16:00 - [37] Just completed it today, Legion is my favourite team-mate. "Geth do not infiltrate." ... "Geth do not purposely, infiltrate." you tell em Robro. ~Spoilers~ The Normandy isn't stuck in collector space, during the credits you go back through, if you continue that file once completed, you end up back in normal space. The Terminator was a bit daft, but incredibly easy on Veteran, me and Legion with the Anti-Material rifles sorted him out easily, kept Garrus as back up. Garrus was also hilarious as my Femsheps romance option: "Normally i'd be complimenting your head ridge if you were Turian, I suppose you hair is nice and your waist is... very supportive." Smooth Garrus, Smooth. According to Mordin kissing Thane is like licking a toad too. Also, on Legions mission, did you guys wipe out the Heretics or re-write them?

Also don't trigger the IFF mission until you are ready, it begins a countdown afterwards which effects crew casualty rates. I ploughed through it after that and didn't lose anyone.
Irida Mershkov Gallente Honour Before Death Nominis Expers	Posted - 2010.02.04 01:42:00 - [39] Originally by: Zyck I think my two personal favorite dialogue moments: Mordin singing "I am the perfect model of a scientist salarian" was awesome on so many levels. If you talk to Legion and ask why he has a piece of N7 armor welded to himself, he explains that he and his good-geth friends went to Eden Prime in the hopes of finding you, but got shot up by settlers. They got to the Normandy crash site and found some of your armor, and he used it to patch himself up. You can then ask him: Shepard: "But that doesn't explain why you have a piece of my old armor welded to yourself" Legion: (Pauses and looks at you for a few seconds) "There was a hole." I don't know why but that cracked me up. Legion is my second favourite character development wise, Garrus taking first (swiping Tali down to third), he (Legion) just seems embarrassed on using your armour, he's the true ascended fanboy. Legion is great for insight into the Geth though, especially about his/their confusion on why the Quarians tried to exterminate them , the bit about how the Geth have tried to preserve their homeworld for when the Quarians return was particuarily worthy.
Irida Mershkov Gallente Honour Before Death Nominis Expers	Posted - 2010.02.04 02:05:00 - [40] Grunt is just controlled bad assery. The one thing I liked was taking him to the Krogan homeworld, and his response at it basically just being a smoking crater. Can't quite recall the quote though. I have to admit, I thought Grunt would be a crappy Wrex to begin with, but props to Bioware for making him pretty interesting, and amusing during combat. "HAH, Right on your ass!" I AM KROGAN. One thing that cracks me up though is how different Jacob looks from previous incarnations. I think I'm the only person who likes Jacob.

I need the Rachni, Quarians, Genophage cure handy, and Geth all on my side and the council and citadel militant fleets and the allaince if i can. Also im going to try to find out how to get the romance ending with the love from ME 1 (saw a german play though video that has it) Tick, Tick, Tick & Tick. My Paragon Femshep is prepared anyway, my renegade one is gonna be buggered. Also, just a helpful hint to anyone who happens to die without saving, you'll notice the game will start you off on the 'resume' option from your last actual save, if you check the load files, you'll see it'll have the auto-saves and a restart mission option, I didn't notice this until half way through the game. Came very handy when I realised I hadn't saved in five hours before I died.

END GAME SPOILERS Actually, one point is where the hell was Harbinger during all this?, he releases control of the Collector General right at the end, but I noticed you never actually see him, so there is a second Reaper (Sovereign being the first) during the events of the game.
Irida Mershkov Gallente Honour Before Death Nominis Expers	Posted - 2010.02.04 14:03:00 - [43] Originally by: Ancy Denaries MAJOR SPOILER As I understood it, Harbinger was actually still in dark space during ME2, only "remotely controlling" the Collectors through the general. Perhaps through some form of QED (Quantum Entanglement Device) or similar thing. It would appear to be some form of advanced indoctrination. At the end, after you destroy the Collector base, you can see Harbinger "leading" the Reaper fleet (he's the Reaper with four glowing eyes, just like the collector general), so I would assume he's still in dark space. It does seem a bit farfetched though. I noticed that Harbinger controls the Collectors in the same way Saren was controlled by Sovereign, and that the datapad with the picture of Harbinger matches the ending cinematic of him starting up. Either way, it's going to be interesting to see how it plays out in the third one with the 'dark energy' effecting those suns and watching the galaxy defend themselves from the Reapers.

Vanguard was a fun class to play my second time (soldier was first). Infiltrator seems to be hard for this third time, but cloaking is fairly cool. Trying to play as a paragon, what happens if you don't let garrus take the shot in his loyalty mission? Spoilers. Basically, he listens to Sidonis, and Sidonis is pretty much tormented and haunted over what he did, and you talk to Garrus and he feels guilty about hunting him down, and realises that he was unable to pull the trigger, despite the betrayal. I let him shoot the ****er on my paragon playthrough though. To not lose anyone, make sure you've got them all loyal, and don't pick people for the wrong decisions. Send Tali through the vents, make Garrus the team leaders, or Miranda (I went with Garrus as he has more experience at it IMO) and Samara for the barrier, I sent Jacob back with the team, no casualties. If they're not loyal, don't pick them for anything.
Irida Mershkov Gallente Honour Before Death Nominis Expers	Posted - 2010.02.05 22:34:00 - [47] Ashley/Liara/Kaiden are all back in the third one which will reflect on whether you were loyal or not.

Which is odd given that at least one of them is dead. Yeah hence the forward slashes, Kaiden got hit to the face with a nuke because his character is so damn boring. Pity Tali isn't an option for Femshep though, had to betray Liara in Me2 for Garrus, was worth it just for Mordins 'suggestions'.

That chick gave me the chills in ME1, I wouldn't even have considered her as a romance option. Originally by: Irida Mershkov Kaiden got hit to the face with a nuke because his character is so damn boring. Ashley was more annoying to me, but still, I had to put poor Kaiden out of his misery for being a whiny little b*tch most of the time. To be honest, as unlikable as Ashley was, she was the better character than Kaiden, whom was almost as bad as Liara. Also, Miranda is bloody wierd, her face is slightly sagged and she has a buck tooth.

Irida Mershkov Gallente Honour Before Death Nominis Expers	Posted - 2010.02.07 00:49:00 - [51] Yeah but Miranda's face just look its had double gravity settings for a bit too long, you know?

I guess it depends on how you form the Face of your Character. Some faces suit it, others don't. The "Canon" male shep does not suit it. I like Maleshep tbh. And i'm not just Trolling. Yeah that is true, I just find that compared to Femshep, he just seems dead and flat. esp to my femshep.
Irida Mershkov Gallente Honour Before Death Nominis Expers	Posted - 2010.02.07 03:03:00 - [56] There's no wobble because it made Sniper rifles border-line *****s until they were maxed. And popping out of cover on hardcore or insanity for a shot usually ends up in me being dead, I have to spam tech armour on my sentinel character on insanity. Also, Blane, I'm guessing your character has a giant forehead or something? (and hey, that Scottish dude in engineering must be right up your alley.) The cover system does have flaws though and doesn't quite hit Gears level of refinement, my main gripe is the ally AI though, seemingly always with Zaeed, Jacob and bloody Mordin they just seem to ignore my commands to go to cover whilst charging across the battlefield and getting killed. I refuse to waste my medi-gel on them, so I never use them, Grunt seems to be smarter than the others. As for Zaeed, he does reek of DLC character, his voice actor is ok, (sometimes seems a bit off though with how he speaks to how his character looks) and his actual dialogue is pretty good/funny, but because you can't speak to him like the other allies, he just seems fairly **ty in comparison, and after I visited him the first time, I didn't bother afterwards. Didn't get him loyal either as I wanted to save the people on his mission.

The story is railroading you around and in my opinion is bad. The game bombards you with cheesy dialogues, **** and ass... I'm sorry, but I'm just not 13 years old anymore. To sum it all up, Mass Effect 2 is a game of lame story, cheesy dialogues and it falls short of a competent shooter. ME1 was better. o noes people swear in real life The best bit about Legion is taking him to Tali's loyalty mission. "I'd never bring live Geth aboard the Flotilla!" Legion just looks left and right at the assembled Quarians. - Or the Citadel. The woman at customs says she's watching out for infiltrating Geth, so you shouldn't have your 'personal synthetic'. Legion: Geth do not infiltrate. Customs: We have to keep watch for Geth Infiltrators, I'd reccomend leaving your Personal Synthetic Legion: Geth do not purposely infiltrate.
Irida Mershkov Gallente Honour Before Death Nominis Expers	Posted - 2010.02.07 19:23:00 - [58] You get a two mission time limit after the kidnapping before people star to get mushified, generally enough to do one mission, then Legions loyalty, I managed to pick up Legions loyalty mission immediately after activating him though.

First thing that annoyed me is how crap the infiltrator class is at the beginning. I had to train fortification to keep myself alive. Alot of the missions are too tight to use the sniper rifle as much as I'd like. Second thing that annoyed me was that its seemingly impossible to get 100% paragon. Always tend to pick up a few renegade points somewhere. However I found the infiltrator class is awesome against collectors near the end. With all the sniper upgrades, the special geth sniper rifle (edit: I mean widow) and the cloaking ability you can almost instantly kill harbingers when they spawn with a headshot. Normal collectors die without the cloak from a headshot. The incinerate skill maxed out is also better than your heavy weapons against armour. I ended up taking Grunt and Thane as my ultimate team. Grunt is tough, does good damage and gives team incindary ammo. Thane has some useful biotics and good damage. Warp especially for dropping barriers. I might play again as a different class, the classes are much more different than ME1. Use and abuse the slow-down on aiming down.

This and those geth that charge with shoguns. Especially in legions loyalty mission. I'm not looking forward to that one, or Tali's one for that matter, i've got Zaeed's loyalty mission lined up next. Also looks like the Cerberus Network was a success. Quote: EA's "Project Ten Dollar", the company's attempts at giving the used game business a dead arm, will be a part of Battlefiedl Bad Company 2's launch, just as it was with Mass Effect 2's. BBC2 will feature an in-game store, access to which will be given out for free to people who purchase new copies of the game. Buy a game without this access and you'll have to pay to get into the store, which will be dishing stuff out for free to those plugged in. So, yes, it's exactly the same as Mass Effect 2's Cerberus Network. No word on pricing yet, but if it's the same as Cerberus, you'd expect it to cost $15, which then begs the question, "why not call it 'Project Fifteen Dollar'?"

Some funny dialogue, although I still think its odd they let you even with my paragon points. Also recruiting tali when you have legion with you is funny. On side note, I think final mission is way too easy. Only places I died was when a harbinger got behind our cover while I was distracted by the reaper. Told the Quarians to not goto war, but I get the feeling what you say doesn't make a difference. The final mission wasn't too bad, almost lost Tali as I was faffing about before letting her through looking for any new weapons in last minute gameplay, but that one Quarian Admiral seems dominant on fighting the Geth. Mass Effect 2 Vs Zero Punctuation. Nice dig at EVE at the ending too.

Irida Mershkov Gallente Honour Before Death Nominis Expers	Posted - 2010.02.19 14:39:00 - [75] That has more to do with Grunt being a better soldier in a right out fight, which Mordin isn't.

Singularity + Shockwave does look fun though.
Irida Mershkov Gallente Honour Before Death Nominis Expers	Posted - 2010.02.21 11:16:00 - [79] Combat in Mass Effect is good for an RPG, for a third person shooter, it's decent at best. That said I didn't let it get in the way of my enjoyment of the game. As for casualties, it's dependant on your loyalty rating, any characters whom aren't loyal, generally will have a lower chance of surviving, it is also based on the choices you select in the Suicide Mission, and the amount of upgrades done on the Normandy before hand. Don't have extra plating? Someone's going to die, pick the wrong person to lead the fire team? that's another one or two.

Singularity + Shockwave does look fun though. It also includes a combination of Pull (quite light though) and Slam, resulting in the enemy being knocked back.

Irida Mershkov Gallente Honour Before Death Nominis Expers	Posted - 2010.02.21 15:54:00 - [81] The Widow is rediculous, stick Grunt and Legion in your squad with Grunts Shotgun and Legions Widow, you've got the ultimate death squad, no super powers, just everything dies. So far for me with my Sentinel playthrough combined with my Infiltrator, all I've used is SMGs, Pistols and Sniper rifles, the Shotgun for Vanguard looks like a nice step up.
Irida Mershkov Gallente Honour Before Death Nominis Expers	Posted - 2010.02.21 17:09:00 - [82] I'd use Miranda but her face... The Widow is just anti-everything, Assassin Cloak + Warp Ammo = lol krogan So what's everyones preferences in terms of abilities? Stronger ones or group-based abilities? Ie, Heavy Pull or Group Pull.
Irida Mershkov Gallente Honour Before Death Nominis Expers	Posted - 2010.02.21 17:19:00 - [83] The only time I can see justifying using the area of effect ones are basically the hordes of Husks, which you encounter around five times in the game, it's pretty rare that enemies bunch up. Actually one question to Vanguard users, does the Biotic charge let you get access to normally unreachable areas? for example, when recruiting Grunt you have a lot of enemies on ledges that you can't access from what I could see, does the charge let you get up there?

For most fun, what would you guys rcommend I play as? I'm getting the game today Vanguard is a lot of fun, you need to think a bit though, a charge into the wrong target can be rather lethal. Vanguard can also get very frustrating though, Infiltrator can be quite fun if you like getting headshots all the time. Adept is a blast though.
Irida Mershkov Gallente Capsuleers of Doom Opticon Alliance	Posted - 2010.03.23 22:33:00 - [85] Hmm, well Adept is good at providing support abilities, like throwing enemies across the room into singularities and stuff to keep them off their back, soldier just puts out a lot of damage fast. Infiltrator is good at picking off targets in one shot. Vanguard tends to lead the charge though, so a Vanguard player tends to attract the most attention, I'd reccomend just picking the one that sounds about right when you're prompted.
