Mass Effect 2

Well, according to nearly every game review, it's nearly perfect.

Compare to every sequel released in the last 2 years, THEN it's perfect.

Because, for a sequel in a trilogy, is nearly perfect.

I'm also done with this argument. We can multi-quote all we want, but the fact remains: we just do not agree on what was good and what wasn't.

There's no point in arguing matters that rely so strongly on personal preference.

I love how you call yourself the Grammar Nazi yet that first line is a grammatical dog's breakfast. hurr

Anyway, not sure if I should get this or not. I'm working a fuckload over the next fortnight, so I'll have some cash to throw around on pointless shit. Should ME2 be included in this pointless shit?

PiE's not a grammar nazi. He must have just thought that img was funny or something.

I has no finished ME1 for the ninth time, so idk. I'd say get that, MAG, and some pasta.

How many times have you guys completed ME1 and 2?

Me1 = 2 times

Second save I ended up with 999999999 credits, and 1200 exp off level 50 :<

Nice, you must have beaten almost every side mission to get that high a level on the first playthough, have you gotten the Powergamer achievement?

I've beaten the first one 6 times, and I'm on my third playthough for ME2.

ME1>ME2

I beat ME1 over 20 times.

I'm working through my Renegade playthrough. Then I plan to play through it on Insanity,

Mass Effect 2 was like a meal at a fancy resturant. A very nice meal, with some useless garnish and it leaves you wanting more.

20 times?

That's obsessive, especially for an RPG

I loved ME1 and I got every achievement an slight change I could. Those ally achievements need several playthroughs to get.

Yeah, I couldn't get those achievements no matter what I did, even beating all the side missions. Do you have to beat the game several times with the same team mates to get the squadmate achievements?

To get them you have to do virtually all the side missions and get up to about to about Ilos with the same team without changing them ever.

They're very tricky. Asari is the hardest as you do have to do virtually everything.

Aw, what the hell, thats the only one I got, and I barely did any side missions my first playthrough.

I got Ashley's just as I was fighting Saren on the citadel.

It was werid.

I always wondered: is there a way to save Ashley AND Kaidan?

ME1: 3 times (fourth playthrough).

I tried the first time, but there isn't, it just isn't possible.

Because there isn't enough room for both of them on the dialog wheel when you're talking to the Illusive Man for the second time, and asking about your old team.

Illusive Man?

*sits down*
*takes out a shot glass and a bottle of whiskey*
*downs a shot*
*collapses into arms and cries*

Oh, COME ON!!!


EDIT: Oh.

anyone play through the game using the standard armor?

or did everyone use the Blood Dragon/Cerberus Assault armor?

You can customize the standard armor, but not the Dragon/Cerberus/Terminus armor, so I used the standard. You can switch them out on the Normandy, (which is kind of bogus compared to the original), but there all right.

One my first playthrough, I just used the standard N7 Armour, got through the game easily.
