Mass Effect 2

[KezR33]

Started playing it as a Soldier, was too easy. Assault rifle + all ammo types lets you mash anything and everything.

Re-made as an adept on a harder difficulty and now it's tough! I can see adepts dominating late game, but currently I have to really micro my team mates, and if a big mech comes out I'm f**ked!

Pretty sure I have had to reload more times from going lulz and firing the Cain point blank than anything else. Higher difficulties simply make your squad mates die faster (ok technically enemies flanking more and using powers etc more often), it's not that much harder no matter what skills you choose. An Adept isn't exactly weak and anything you are missing you can get from the advanced training anyway. Running a soldier with Heavy Fortification atm loving squad cryo and most likely play something like a Vanguard later. Probably play through and get the Insane achievement for ME2 as well.

I'm hearing all the hype, should I give ME1 a crack and see if its worth going ME2

[DivHunter]

Remembering that ME1 came out in what, 2005? It's still a pretty great game and worth playing through t least once if you want to play ME2 even just to know wtf is going on.

[DRD-00F]

Yeah, I would suggest playing ME1... I didn't, and I'm still not entirely sure what's going on... I'm like halfway through now.

[bt23]

So keen to get this game! Just playing ME1 so I can finish if for second time (haven't finished with renegade yet) then I will buy it!

Thats what I'm thinking... $20 on CDWOW purchased.... now to wait and see if $45 for ME2 could be worth it

[gfunkk]

for those who have beaten the game how many hours did it take?

i need to allocate some time to play this game!

[allthatr_emains]

I think i was most of the way through ME1 a couple of months before ME2 came out... i couldn't resist once i seen it for sale the other day. I'm always doing crazy shit like this...

A wee bit of sarcasm intended. Just so ya know.

Depends, you can do it in under 10 hours, the last mission will probably go horribly wrong but you can do it, 30+ doing all the sides. That would be + any reloads etc and then you have to play it at least twice.

I hear theres proper hardcore action in some of the cut scenes, interacial and all sorts.

[MSTRshenanigans]

If Sconroy hasn't squealed like a stuck cop then it'll be soft =P

[DivHunter]

The most you'll ever see is dry humping. ME1 was far more risqué.

There is an amusing use of standard animations in Dragon Age though that has a servant girl giving a soldier a gobby.

[DRD-00F]

I don't remember Miranda stripping for me... I think I'll play this through a second time!

[DivHunter]

lulz

Your options as a male character are Tali, Miranda, Jack or if you go none, Kelly after the final mission.

Loyalty, upgrades and stage of relationship all seem to factor into survival rates.

My 'No One Left Behind' team composition was

Specialist: Tali

Team Leader: Garrus

Specialist: Jack

Team Leader Garrus

Escort: Mordin

As long as the team members you bring with you are loyal they survive.

Also saw there's a free DLC that add's +10% heavy weapons ammo on the armour...which means my last play through would be +100%, 2 x Cain shots, nice.
