TimMc Gallente Trans-Solar Works Rooks and Kings	Posted - 2010.01.25 10:59:00 - [1] Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh spoilers must not read. Still looking forward to it despite the strange sounds of no omnigel opt out for hacking and no unlimited ammo. Do you have to complete the entire game or can you just import games that you've beaten the main storyline with?

TimMc Gallente Trans-Solar Works Rooks and Kings	Posted - 2010.02.01 11:20:00 - [3] Edited by: TimMc on 01/02/2010 11:21:25 Just played ME2 to completion yesturday, all missions and assignments. All planets visited. 30 hours in 3 days. Obviously no game is perfect, and ME2 is not, but its definetly one of the best games I've played in a long while. 1. Losing ship at beginning is definetly an exciting start. At end I thought was going to lose ship again which would have been stupid to keep losing ships between games. 2. Joker was boring or irritating in first game, but ME2 he is hilarious with EDI. 3. Alot darker than ME1. ME1 feels very star trek - clean and simple with sometimes dark undertones. 4. Much funnier. Found myself laughing out loud, and giggling at references to other films or sci fi. 5. Annoyed me you couldn't get your previous romance to join you. I went with Liara in ME1, but she has turned into an obcessive angry woman suddenly. Ended up moving on to Tali, but didn't get to see her face. Apparently most of your squad can be romanced, and you can die from having sex with the asari's daughter. 6. Alot of dialogue. Most characters are pricks, even ones I liked in first game like Garrus. Talking to them and helping with issues seems to humanise them. 7. Holy ** Jack scares me. 8. I swear Ashley has changed voice actor in the brief time you see her. 9. Ammo is good. Always wondered where my ammo was coming from. 10. I disliked the simplified weapon system where very few guns, and new ones always better than current. There is a large variety of heavy weapons though which is fun. 11. Far more challenging fights than in ME1. Biotics aren't massively overpowered like before. Being able to storm and moving abilities/orders out of the paused view keeps it very action packed. However seems swapping weapons is only accessible from pause menu. 12. Huge amount of new information about interesting races. 13. At first I hated the lack of skills, but it makes sense. After playing ME1 you shouldn't need to relearn everything. Paragon/Renegade conversation trees being open only if you have been previously a Paragon/renegade also makes more sense than simply skilling up for them. Actions in cutscenes is also very good improvement. 14. Ability to completely fail is good. I lost half my crew by doing side missions before going to save them. Its also possible to fail the last mission if you don't upgrade the normandy. Losing most your team is possible. I lost 1 teammate, which I presume because 2 of my teammates were "normal" rather than "loyal". 15. End boss battle was predictable but fun, mostly because I was on my last rounds of ammo when it went down. Edit: Originally by:** Nova Fox yeah find it funny i can rescue an entire galaxy but not a tank of fish. EDI feed my fish! heh my fish always died. Apparently though if you flirt with kelly she will offer to feed your fish.
TimMc Gallente Trans-Solar Works Rooks and Kings	Posted - 2010.02.05 12:38:00 - [4] I'm doing my third runthrough now. 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?
TimMc Gallente Trans-Solar Works Rooks and Kings	Posted - 2010.02.08 10:40:00 - [5] Just finished ME2 for the third time, this time with my infiltrator character attempting to do it perfectly - losing no one, 100% paragon. 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 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.
TimMc Gallente Trans-Solar Works Rooks and Kings	Posted - 2010.02.14 21:56:00 - [6] I'm playing Adept on insanity. ****ing annoying dying so often, good thing I can train barrier from beginning or it would be impossible. Its alot of fun doing biotic pairs. Pull > Throw. Pull > Warp. Shockwave seems useless. Singularity usually is pointless except for dragging people out of cover.

That must be a pain in the ass seeing as every enemy has barrier/armour. I'm holding out well enough with the Sentinel, just spamming Overload and Warp like a ***. Tech Armour helps, about to get Mordin. Yeah. Warp is excellent against barriers, ok against armour and crap against shields. I have to shoot a bit or wait for my friends to drop shields.
TimMc Gallente Trans-Solar Works Rooks and Kings	Posted - 2010.02.16 16:00:00 - [8] Originally by: Nova Fox Edited by: Nova Fox on 16/02/2010 14:24:01 Originally by: Irida Mershkov Originally by: Nova Fox Edited by: Nova Fox on 16/02/2010 12:45:39 has anyone purposly tried the perfect suicide group where basically everyone but shepard dies on the way in/out? My buddy pulled that off sort of, at the end it was just him, Joker and Legion, so now they're a combo of Adept and Machine scouring the galaxy, Pulp Fiction style. well that counts, legion isnt techncially 'killable' hes geth. though im surprised joker didnt break his finger bones or shoulder firing in the getaway scene. Legion can die since he isn't connected to the main geth network. Normal geth just download into a new body. And on topic of everyone dying, at least 1 person has to survive for you to complete mission. At end you lung towards the ship, and if only joker there then no one lifts you up and you die.
TimMc Gallente Trans-Solar Works Rooks and Kings	Posted - 2010.02.17 08:36:00 - [9] Originally by: Irida Mershkov As for the Collector General, yeah, but after fighting Scions and Praetorians on Insanity I've since lost any pity for him. This and those geth that charge with shoguns. Especially in legions loyalty mission.
TimMc Gallente Trans-Solar Works Rooks and Kings	Posted - 2010.02.17 15:21:00 - [10] Originally by: Irida Mershkov 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. Just finished with my adept on insanity. Did tali's loyalty mission after the final mission so I could have fun with dialogue when I brought legion onto the quarian fleet. 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.
TimMc Gallente Trans-Solar Works Rooks and Kings	Posted - 2010.02.18 21:40:00 - [11] Originally by: Meiyang Lee As for the YMIR, Garrus and Mordin indeed look like a good combo for them, will get to try that out soon enough. Mordin dies too much for me. I prefer Miranda and Grunt. Health boost and overload from Miranda. Squad incendiary ammo from Grunt. Mirandas warp is also good against armour, although admittedly not as good as incinerate.
TimMc Gallente Trans-Solar Works Rooks and Kings	Posted - 2010.02.22 00:46:00 - [12] Originally by: Daelorn I'm replaying ME1, and I think its the first time I've really noticed how terrible the male voice actor is. As bad as mansheps voice acting is, its cheesy or odd enough it doesn't usually bother me. Femshep sounds really bored sometimes though which annoyed me. Originally by: Irida Mershkov Blimey. After watching this too, I'm bloody sold. Yeah Vanguard is fun and hilarious when you eventually figure it out. I usually jumped into bad situations though and quickly die. I think at some point you get the option to use the krogen shotgun, or other gun training. I think I went with assault rifle or SMG so I had some range options.
TimMc Trans-Solar Works Rooks and Kings	Posted - 2010.03.24 02:12:00 - [13] Pretty much all the classes are fun. Soldier is a bit simple but for a first run through its not something you notice until you play the other classes. Sentinal is probably the easiest to play I think. Extremely tough and alot of flexible abilities. <3 Assault Armour
TimMc Trans-Solar Works Rooks and Kings	Posted - 2010.03.24 16:15:00 - [14] 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. You are still very early in the game. Even then I don't think the max level is as high as ME1.
TimMc Trans-Solar Works Rooks and Kings	Posted - 2010.03.25 22:46:00 - [15] Originally by: ReaperOfSly The Cain is a nightmare to use. I have not once managed to use it without getting myself killed. This for me aswell. I just stick with the gernade launcher most the time. Using abilities properly should leave you rarely needing heavy weapons anyway.
TimMc Trans-Solar Works Rooks and Kings	Posted - 2010.03.27 16:07:00 - [16] Originally by: JordanParey So, now that I've played the game a bit, I wanted to ask who your favorite characters were? I'll make a list: Miranda: pretty hawt for a video game character, Yvonne Strahovski is smokin' irl Garrus: total smartass Grunt: his teenage angst is funny Jack: her desire to kill, rob, torture, maim, or otherwise cause harm to everyone and everything is funny, and it's only made better by her equal hate of everyone. Almost cute. Miranda is annoying cheerleader, but hot and insecure which makes her easy to flirt with. Grunt is funny, but I wouldn't call his character deep in the slightest. Jack is bit too hard. I sympathise with her alot despite how destructive she is. Thane is interesting to talk to, but he is too cold. Pretty much same for Legion aswell. Mordin talks too fast at first, then seems to talk normally. I like him as a character usually but as a squadmate he is beyond useless. Garrus is alot funnier than first game, and deeper. Probably one of my favourites. Tali is probably my favourite. Very cute. Joker is an ass in the first game, but in the second game I enjoy his dialogue especially those with EDI. Zaeed and the Justicar are both too old and cold as characters for me to enjoy, but can sympathise with both of them sometimes.

Dorn especially has a rather distinctive rumble in his voice that makes him easy to pick out. For me it was Dorn and michael hogan. Edit: and tricia and seth obviously.
