Mass Effect 2
So, who's getting the game when it's coming out next week?
I'll wait for a bit myself because I'm not done yet playing Mass Effect, Dragon Age: Origins, and Oblivion (at this rate, won't get it for a whole year...), but I will rent it next week if I can, so I can do a review of it.
Only thing that annoys me in all the trailers, screenshots, etc. that Bioware released: they all show the standard male Shepard. No standard female Shepard anywhere.
Oh man I am so pumped for this game. I'm having it delivered to me, because I'm away next week, but I really can't wait. I think that the first Mass Effect is probably my favorite game of this generation, and it set a new gold standard for RPG's. (Note: I'm only talking about the main quest; the shitty sidequests are something else entirely) I'm in the same boat as you, though, because I'm still in the middle of Dragon Age. Also, you might want to finish the first Mass Effect, just so you don't get the plot spoiled.
my local gamestop's having a midnight launch, so i'll be there. my collector's edition awaits. my only regret is that i didn't push my shepherd to lvl 60 in the original (i think he's at lvl58), even though it would have taken another complete playthrough to get that much xp.

I'm getting it today....but I'm afraid to play it after the way MS banned everyone willy-nilly on COD MW2

maxlords,
Play it with ethernet disconnected. How are they going to know when there are no timestamps?
They were banning people playing pirated copies of MW2. Not people with legit copies. Play away. They won't ban you, even plugged into live.Originally Posted by maxlords

Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

I preordered it on Steam, cant wait.
I just finished Dragon Age as well, was trying to finish it before ME2 came out.
I've owned the original for quite a while and liked what I saw (I'm just a handful of hours into it), so I'll be picking this one up once I finish.
It will probably be the first multiplatform release that I purchase for the PS3 rather than the 360, I really don't want to have to swap disc everytime I play once I get to the halfway point of the game.
me2 is a 360/pc only release.
I didn't realize that. Well that sucks, I'd rather not have to swap disc.
I did have it preorder. Hope EA keeping their word about buying ME2 new and they will give us free DLC.

Yep. Really looking forward to it. It'll be weird to jump right into it so soon after finishing Dragon Age, but that's probably what I'm going to do. I thought about trying to do another Dragon Age playthrough before it's released but I won't have enough time, so I'm just putting some more time into trying to finally finish Oblivion.
I have it coming from Amazon on Tuesday. Loved the first game. The Mass Effect universe and mythology fascinated me throughout. Probably the best story of any game I've played. The promised gameplay improvements have me very excited about this one.

I'll be picking it up on tuesday at Game Stop. Most anticipated game of the year and in a long time. I feel like a kid again eagerly awaiting the new Sonic The Hedgehog game (on Genesis... the only Sonic games that count.) :-)
Not anymore http://ps3.ign.com/articles/111/1113393p1.html
it's strange that Bioware is porting Mass Effect 2 to the ps3 but not the original Mass Effect considering Mass Effect 2 is a direct continuation of the original games story.
Oh well, I think i'll be picking up the ps3 version when it comes out so i can play it with the dualshock controller. I never have liked the xbox controllers original or 360. I seem to be in a small minority tho.
Still not interested.
According to Bioware the PS3 version has hours of extra content. I have no idea how long the first game is so they might include the first game with the Mass Effect 2 gameplay or maybe they'll include a bunch of storyline cutscenes of the first game leading into the second.
Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.
A friend gave me his copy. I was very skeptical at first because I felt that ME1 had a lot of problems, and I really didn't find it that interesting. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the sequel is better than the original in every possible way. They fixed literally every problem I had with the original. They cut out a lot of the bullshit without detracting from the depth. This is tied with Bioshock as my favorite game of this console generation. Anybody who liked Statflight or Star Control should definitely try me2 because the influence is definitely noticeable.
Geez how many copies did your friend have???
I was kind of like you with this game: I didn't dislike the first one, but it had its fair share of quirks and just general "annoyances" that made the game less fun. ME2 really is better in every way and ranks up there as one of the best rpgs I've played and is certainly one of the best console rpg of this generation (mileage may vary if you consider this game more of a shooter, which is acceptable).
I was not aware of the PS3 port of the game till just now.
Damn, 360 really has no exclusives aside from Halo...
From the looks of it, about 6.
