You mean, best of its genre, which is "outer-space-war" RPG.

Starcraft 2 got me more excited though :laugh:

phanbuey · Dec 18, 2009

It sure will be the one of the best in 2010. I read this article about where some dude had played 2hours of the game and he had said the game was the bomb! It contained so many spoilers so i didnt read the whole thing or post it here in the thread.

But i'm sure ME2 will get a equal rating as the first one. maybe a 9.6/10.

Well, you've had 2 years for that.

Agreed lol. :laugh:

Agreed lol.

If farcry 2 got a 9.2, then i sure hope this gets at least more than 9.2... hell i'd give mass effect 1 a 134.9 if it was on the same scale as FC2 was rated on :laugh:

Agreed!

FC2 was by far one of the most boring games i've played. :banghead:

The graphics were impressive but the gameplay sucked big time lol. :roll:

I agree, this should be the best game ever made!

Anyone know how the game will use the Mass Effect 1 saved games? I know you'll get to keep the Dragon Age: Origin's Blood Dragon armour which imho is awesome. (Kudos to whoever at bioware thought of medieval armour in space). But if you played as a soldier in the first Mass Effect does that resctrict ypu to soldier in the second installment?

it imports plot decisions, armor with glowing eyes looked odd in DO:O, and no you arent restricted.

KieX · Dec 20, 2009

Importing plot decision, huh.. ah well here comes another game with the whole universe against me

Good to know the character choice isn't restricted. The engineer class looks great.

HolyCow02 · Dec 22, 2009

Dude those new screens look amazing. I am so close to beating the first one. And I'm glad they don't restrict you to to the class you picked the first time. Though my solder/commando is badass, I kinda wanna try something else. Too bad Ms. Williams won't be around for me.

Ah thats great. Are you a paragon or a renegade or both? And soldier is awesome. I love the heavy armor and guns. Did you abandon Williams or Kaidan? I left Williams. Damn woman was annoying lol. :laugh:

Anyone try the Pinnacle Station DLC for Mass Effect?

Nope i didnt try it. Is it good?

FordGT90Concept · Dec 23, 2009

That's what I'm wondering. The first problem is getting it. There's no way I'll buy it if it requires EA DLM. I emailed EA asking if it does and they haven't responded yet. Until then, I wait...

KieX · Dec 23, 2009

Yeah, I sadly bit the hook for that DLC. I say sadly because it was dissapointing. All it is, it's a station you travel to and have a series of challenges, that are mainly about defeating all the enemies in the quickest time possible to beat some new charater's scores. It had no story really, it's more like a quick fragfest.

FordGT90Concept · Dec 23, 2009

Any rewards for beating him? Also, is EA DLM required or can you just download an EXE and they email you a key?

KieX · Dec 23, 2009

i never finished pinnacle station, mainly cos i got bored, but also because it gets quite hard in some challenges if your team doesn't dispose of enemies as quickly as you. Sorry no idea if you get any rewards. Unfortunately you HAVE to install EA crappyware to install the DLC, which I personally dislike even if you can remove it afterwards.

FordGT90Concept · Dec 23, 2009

If I can't stick the installer on my server, I ain't gonna bother. I guess no Pinnacle Station DLC for me.

I beat the game on the hardest difficulty (Insanity?) with relative ease so I'm not too concerned about difficulty.

KieX · Dec 23, 2009

imho anyone who doesn't play it won't really miss out on anything. At least the free DLC bring down the sky had more of the Mass Effect feel.

Mass Effect 2 Details :)

Your opinion

Mass Effect 1 was better than 2

Mass Effect 2 was better than 1

Both were equally good.
