Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2010.01.20 18:27:00 - [1] Pre-ordered the Collector's Edition for PC about 2 months ago, and I have 4-5 full play-through saves waiting for it.
Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2010.01.24 14:50:00 - [2] We'll all know soon enough, the game is released on Tuesday in the US and on Thursday for those of us in Europe. I have 5 endgame saves waiting for it (7 if you count the multi-play-through characters I have). We'll know soon enough how different the two games are, if it's more 3rd person shooter and less RPG I'll miss those RPG elements, but I am quite sure I'll still enjoy it a great deal.
Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2010.01.25 17:48:00 - [3] Originally by: Irida Mershkov Originally by: Victor Valka The important question we all wanted to know is - who did you do? In other words, Tali or GTFO! fyp Yes Tali is an option. SPOILERS: Sex scenes revealed. Basically after the link is a set of youtube vids of the conclusion of a romance with Miranda, Jack (aka as Subject Zero, Renegade and Paragon versions) and Tali.
Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2010.01.30 01:12:00 - [4] Originally by: Irida Mershkov 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. Mining is indeed slow, but chat to Miranda once you're out and about flying in the Normandy, she'll give you a mining scanner upgrade, that speeds it up a bit. You'll need to gather the resources to build it though. All crew members have upgrade ideas though, so chat to them all. As for the Mako, they're currently working on some DLC for that, it'll be free if you have Cerberus Network access (ie all new copies do) and it's called the Hammerhead, it's a hovertank, so no more Velcro tyres. As for Tali, I'm quite sure you run into her later, I seem to recall a court session on the flotilla in one of the trailers.
Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2010.01.30 08:45:00 - [5] Edited by: Meiyang Lee on 30/01/2010 08:49:56 Originally by: Culmen Originally by: Irida Mershkov Successful mission, got new guns, all went well, go back to cabin. 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!" The explosion is considerably more annoying if you're a vanguard though (biotic charge + shotgun = almost anything fried if timed well). It's rather lethal at a Vanguards optimal range. But I get the feeling charge is a bit overpowered, there's almost no range limit, it does a big chunk of damage and ignores all types of terrain and cover. Just point and charge, just need to look out for other enemies, since you do risk getting surrounded (and charging into a group of bloodpack mercs with flamers is a really bad idea). So far been having quite a bit of fun, just grabbed Jack from purgatory and probably going to do Zaeeds revenge mission next. Mining a lot of minerals for upgrades, have most of the upgrades I could get out of the crew installed already, so my Normandy is heavily armed and armoured, just need to find who gives the shield upgrades as I don't have those yet. Need to find a good way to make lots of credits though, as those weapon upgrades in stores get very expensive very quickly.
Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2010.01.31 01:21:00 - [6] Edited by: Meiyang Lee on 31/01/2010 01:23:36 Edited by: Meiyang Lee on 31/01/2010 01:21:18 Originally by: Irida Mershkov 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. 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.
Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2010.01.31 21:56:00 - [7] Originally by: Nova Fox for all you pc gamers i recommended getting a game controller to play intead. This is certainly no mouse and keyboard game. I disagree, mouse speed is spot on, keyboard layout is clear and compact, perfect for playing, I have a 360 controller, but haven't touched it or felt the need to for ME2. Love that it's easy to change just about every keybinding through the options. Mouse Aiming is lovely too, especially with slow powerful weapons where precision really matters. Got most of the crew loyal now, Loyalty mission for Tali just triggered and I'm still missing Legion, but other than that I'm complete. Wonder if Legion provides a ship bonus or a personal one. Most of the ship-board upgrades seem done. 100% Paragon so far continuing from a lvl 54 Paragon Liara lover from ME1. Not taking any new love-interests, I want to make sure I'll still have Liara available for ME3 (foresight in spite of the odds). Made a mistake with the Scions btw, those are just the nberhusks. Burn their shields using rapid fire weapons then a few shots with a Hand Cannon to get rid of the armour. Just remember to switch to incendiary ammo on the armour or you'll be shooting it all damn day. Thought you were talking about those Praetorian things (giant hovering crab things with particle beams). found out that the CE rifle is fairly lousy unless your opponents have next to no health and lots of shields, the Battle rifle works much better as an all-rounder.
Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2010.02.02 21:13:00 - [8] Just finished the first playthrough, Vanguard, full paragon, everyone still alive (once I figured out that certain people leading teams get others killed), reaper and collector base destroyed. No Romance, this one's for Liara. Next one up, probably an Adept, probably paragon again, not sure which love-interest though, Kelly looks like fun (love me some redhead).
Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2010.02.05 17:35:00 - [9] Originally by: LordSwift This is my first play through. but no matter what i was saying to her. She wouldnt trust me. Think it was written that way unfortunately. Its crap, thought i read that we could renew old relationships that we had in the previous game. I dont want to start a new one. I want my ashley I played through all of ME2 without a relationship to keep Liara on one character, I want to see if that kind of persistence has a pay off in Mass Effect 3. Liara changed a bit, but atleast she still trusted me (well sort of).
Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2010.02.06 22:00:00 - [10] Edited by: Meiyang Lee on 06/02/2010 22:02:12 My Vanguard, still loyal to Liara, went fine. 100% survival rate for the crew. And a picture of Liara looking up at me from my desk, rather than face down to await a new lover. However, it looks like my current Kaidan-betraying Adept playthrough will have to wait (probably going for Kelly in this one). For some unknown reason my DVD drive decided to stop recognising various discs after watching the first season of Red Dwarf on DVD. (Now it no longer recognises ME2, the Red Dwarf DVDs and a number of others... dammit) Really curious as to what went wrong, it's just chocking on certain discs now. Uninstalled the CCCP, thinking it might have gone awry, but that's not helped...
Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2010.02.06 22:45:00 - [11] Edited by: Meiyang Lee on 06/02/2010 22:45:30 Originally by: M'ktakh Dayum. Having watched the Tali vids on youtube I almost feel the need to suffer through the voice of a male Sheppard. (could one nail Tali in ME1? Liara is so.... predictable). ****, you university, I need a nother week! :hugs that suit-dwelling lovebundle: I'm not 100% sure that's needed, Tali did mention something about linking suit environments to my femshep during my first playthrough. So you could try for a lesbian Tali encounter, who knows it may even work. Jack isn't in the "girls club" though, so you'll need a male shep for her. As for your question about Tali in ME1, no you could not, although many would have liked to do so.
Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2010.02.07 10:07:00 - [12] Originally by: LordSwift wow the husks are well hard. especially in the geth ship. Little place to hide and so many of them. Reminds me of left 4 dead. Another very good counter-measure for Husks is the shockwave power. For some reason that's a 1-hit kill for those things, and you can usually hit more than 1 with a single shot if you aim properly. Made life a lot easier for my Vanguard and my adept really loves it too. Haven't even used the evolved wide front version yet, but I imagine that'll really make a mess.

Uninstalled the CCCP, thinking it might have gone awry, but that's not helped... Well... use a no-cd patch...? First thing I do for all my games... I have done that, so yes I can play again. Doesn't fix the drive though. Has a bit over 50% failure rate when it comes to reading DVDs (either data or video) tested 30 discs, 17 failed to read, CDs work fine. Guess a laser or lens is shot, luckily it's well under warranty.

Now all my fish have died If you do not want Kelly turned into sludge, you should go into the "suicide mission" immediately after you get the reaper IFF, wasting no time on anything else (at least that's how you make sure, probably you could spare the time for one mission, but I wouldn't gamble with that). Also, if you do not want your other characters dead, you should make sure they're all loyal, that you upgraded everything there was to upgrade in the ship, that you resolve any "internal tensions", and maybe (really, just maybe, not sure it really matters) also assign them to something they're suited for. Or, at least, that's the "theory"... 1 mission is probably the limit, I did Legions loyalty mission after the Reaper IFF (since you don't get legion before that, and I wanted 100% loyalty) and still saved Kelly and all the others, only Lilith (from the Horizon cut scene) dies when you find the crew-pods. Other than that, I saved everyone. As for Mordin, he survives just fine if you don't bring him along, but since he is the character with the least health I sent him back with the crew to the Normandy. No losses, although I had to restart once because I lost Tali, but sending Samara as first squad leader was a bad idea. 400 years of experience is one thing, but it was mostly solo work. Did it with Garrus next time and it went fine. PS: bringing Miranda on the final take down has some interesting side effects when you subsequently chose the Paragon option with the Illusive man. Guess seeing me work first hand is impressive.
Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2010.02.16 17:19:00 - [15] Originally by: Blane Xero Did anyone else kinda feel sorry for the collector overseer that Harbinger was using in the scene where he kinda realises he's been abandoned by his master and he just clutches his control hub thingy? I've completed the game a few times now and each time that scene gets me Yup, know exactly what you mean. As if in his last moments he realises he's been used. Quite the shot I admit.
Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2010.02.16 21:32:00 - [16] Originally by: Irida Mershkov Edited by: Irida Mershkov on 16/02/2010 17:56:01 I just looked again at the Reapers approaching the Milkway cutscene, holy damn I didn't realise there was THAT many in space. The Mass Effect universe is so ****ed in ME3 if it took all that to take down Sovereign. Ah yes, the 'Reapers'. Yeah, the have quite the challenge ahead for ME3, although my guess would be that we either buy ourselves another 50k years (i.e. let them skip an annihilation phase) or we use some kind of plot device to take out the lot of them all at once. Although the "We are each a nation, independent and without weakness" bit of the reapers description makes some kind of transmittable "solution" difficult. So I'm really curious what they'll come up with. Maybe gate them all into a black hole or something.
Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2010.02.18 07:58:00 - [17] Edited by: Meiyang Lee on 18/02/2010 08:01:23 Started a 3rd playthrough as Soldier on Hardcore, no biotics makes even this quite a challenge. Love it so far, but only recruited Garrus (and Zaeed) at this point. Going is slow, as you really need to use cover and what few abilities I have to survive. Funny little spoiler, walking in on the Blue Suns commander on the Garrus recruitment mission with Zaeed results in some rather tense dialog between the two. Having Grunts armor boost ability from the start helps though. But YMIR mechs are a total nightmare on this difficulty, I can't imagine the trouble those will cause on Insanity.
Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2010.02.18 17:48:00 - [18] Originally by: Sanguis Sanies Originally by: Meiyang Lee Edited by: Meiyang Lee on 18/02/2010 08:01:23But YMIR mechs are a total nightmare on this difficulty, I can't imagine the trouble those will cause on Insanity. Been there, done that! Basically my strategy (soldier) is to use Garrus (overload) and Mordin (incinerate) and then just pound away with the widow (swap ammo types for shield/armour); find lots of cover and just keep moving around (use adrenaline boost to not get shot so much). I use the Geth Shield Boost (+75% shield, +10% weapon damage), is Grunts Fortification better? Not by much, you can either increase the duration (180 seconds) at +75% shields or keep it at 60 seconds and get +100% shields, Geth shielding is quite similar, but offers a damage boost instead. Barrier is essentially identical too. Either of the 3 will usually do the trick, which is basically personal preference. As for the YMIR, Garrus and Mordin indeed look like a good combo for them, will get to try that out soon enough.
Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2010.02.19 17:22:00 - [19] Originally by: Bestofworst Worstofbest If I lose someone in the suicide mission, do I need to reload a save before I went into the Relay or do I just reenter it to do it again? You basically need to reload at a point where you can still make choices to have any effect. If a section reload allows you to do that, then you can use those, otherwise, grab an earlier save from the previous section (personally, I always save just before a section end, just to be safe).
Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2010.02.21 13:54:00 - [20] Edited by: Meiyang Lee on 21/02/2010 13:53:59 Originally by: Irida Mershkov Edited by: Irida Mershkov on 21/02/2010 10:45:28 Does the Vanguard Charge do anything apart from closing the distance? from the walkthrough vid it seemed fairly weak, and I'm either going to roll Vanguard or Adept on my next playthrough. 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. Especially with "Heavy Biotic Charge" the knockback effect gets pretty nasty. Deals quite a bit of damage too.

Especially with "Heavy Biotic Charge" the knockback effect gets pretty nasty. Deals quite a bit of damage too. Blimey. After watching this too, I'm bloody sold. Yup, proper use of charge that. Best bit is that there seems to be almost no range limit as such. You can cover quite a distance and go through anything in your way to get there. Along with a short cooldown. It's quite something. Adept is a lot of fun too though, Singularity is pretty nasty once maxed out.
Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2010.02.21 19:02:00 - [22] Originally by: Irida Mershkov 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? I don't believe you can. You're not usually able to "lock" those opponents which would get you stuck on something. It's limited to areas you can reach on foot I think, but the increased battlefield mobility is still very useful. Just be careful where you charge, moving right on top of someone with a flamer is usually a bad idea.
Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2010.03.23 20:38:00 - [23] Originally by: JordanParey NECRO TIEM! 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.
Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2010.03.24 17:02:00 - [24] Originally by: JordanParey I ended up going Vanguard, the Charge power looked pretty sweet. I have another question though.. Is it odd that I am leveling up so slowly? I'm only at like level 7, and I'm on Omega running the side missions after I recruited Garrus and Mordin. Levelling isn't nearly as fast as it was with ME1, and with the cap at 30, it doesn't need to be. You probably won't get to 30 on the first run through, any subsequent game started after finishing it once though gives you 25% extra XP, which makes hitting 30 quite a bit easier, you'll usually cap out well before the end.

Btw Michael Douglass and Solid Snake/Spike Speigel as voice actors = awesomenesssssss Just started yesterday and so far the no crouching thing is really lame, the anomalies are a bit of sit in one spot and do nothing and no squad key + no inventory is really stupid. Also planet scanning is boring as hell and I just filled up on mineral in under 2 planets. But the mission reports are really cool and I like the weapons. Not really a fan of ammo as mentioned before but it is not too big of a deal. Hopefully it gets better as it goes. 1 word: Cain. cain? If so that looks badass and I can't wait While the portable nuke is fun, I personally prefer the Collector Beam weapon. Much more versatile, and has a huge ammo capacity to boot, you'll get it soon enough.

Now that's really awesome! Shoulda pay attention to ending credits, I almost never look at them. Dorn and Sheen were the only two I recognised in game by voice immediately. Dorn especially has a rather distinctive rumble in his voice that makes him easy to pick out.

Well yes, Seth Green too, for obvious reasons, but from the new characters, those were the only two.
