Mass Effect 2

Wait a minute, he's not spoiling ME2.

I think I fucked up Thane's loyalty mission. His son just killed his target and took off in a car. WTF!

I just finished my first playthrough, fucking fantastic game.

And the ending wasn't epic in the "everything is blowing up around you" but it was still so good.

I was genuinely pissed and worried when my crew got abducted, and I was worried over every little decision that one of my characters was going to die in the end. Well ok there were a few characters I didn't care about but still. I made it with everyone alive though so fuck yeah. I think all you have to do is every loyalty mission and get all the ship upgrades. I did a few at the last moment because I kept thinking back to the beginning, glad I did

I liked almost everything about the game, everything feeling more fleshed out and interesting, going to different cities that have shit instead of just the citadel. Though I'm disappointed I didn't really get much more out of the Aria storyline, maybe it's saved for ME3.

Regardless I'm ready for the third game. Shame it'll probably be another 2 (or 3?) years)

Also since my original character was a female I banged Garrus, it was hilarious

Nope, you can still fuck it up if you choose the wrong characters during the mission.

I just finished this too. I loved it. Only a few complaints:

The ME1 callbacks are largely pointless. Nothing you did had any meaningful impact on ME2.

The main story arc in ME2 is almost nonexistent. All sidequests, all the time. Thankfully, the sidequests are massively improved.

I put Legion in charge of the Duct, because I didn't have time to care about him (Though he seems kind of rad) with Garrus in charge of the other group since he was able to lead the other group. The part where a stray bullet came through the door and hit him I was like "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" But then he just walked it off and shrugged at me.

Just finished the game, it rocked. I liked it much more than the first from start to finish. I'm wondering how much differently I would have played it not knowing about things to do to get through the Gate and such.

I'm psyched for 3 and may give this one another spin in a year or so.

[SamuraiMoogle]

WTF? Did everyone finish ME 2 today? I finished it today also. Everyone survived! I also got all the achievements besides Insanity and get a person to lvl 30.

[Brisco Bold]

WTF? Did everyone finish ME 2 today?

I tried. But there are so many hours in the day. Plus, I'm now deathly afraid of killing all my teammates in a final mission I haven't even gotten to yet. That and I'm curious if I sleep with Kelly, will I then no longerbe able to sleep with Miranda.

Btw., I hated Liara in episode one and hate her even more so in episode two. How on earth could she become more annoying? I mean, I haven't seen her in two years and she sends me around dealing with her petty bullshit? Why was she even in the game? At least Ashley was... emotional.

I finished it yesterday, starting on a Paragon runthrough now. I started playing it on insanity, but turned it down by Omega... it just isn't any fun at all, it's not that it's OVERLY hard, it just makes every battle take fucking forever, and I don't have to patience for it to get all of 75 gamer points.

To much other shit to play to waste my time going through that way.

[Thief Silver]

Just finished my Mass Effect 1 playthrough with my renegade badass too, so about to start up another game. I figure I'll get halfway through the second playthrough before I'm burned out again. I saved the council this time.

God while I thought the ending to 2 was really good, I did partly forget how amazing the ending to one was as well.

A few notes: Dropping the Mako was a great idea, and it only really takes like 3 or 4 minutes to scan a whole planet if you do it well (still not good but whatever) So that's an upgrade over waht ME1 had since making a hundred planets interesting to explore is unlikely. i was worried at first about all the trimming down of RPG elements but I definitely have realized it was for the better there were just so many worthless little things added.

Also Joker having a bigger role in 2 is for the better.

Not forcing you to group with members the entire game was also the right idea, there are a lot of retarded achievements in the first one, I don't think there are any retarded ones in the second.

Also jesus the second one looks a hundred times better.
