Got my 360 back after yet another red ring incident, so now it's ME2 time.
First impressions are a bit mixed.
Had some difficulty in importing my Sheppard (had to replay the end-fight with Sarren because it seems I didn't save the last time I finished it).
The introduction is truly early Star Wars worthy.
It sets the mood perfectly.
What I really liked was the fact that though I imported my char,
I could still pick another class (was a soldier last time, wanted to be a bit more versatile now, so now Red Sheppard is a Vanguard). Nice.
Since I had to play the end of the first game again,
some differences were immediatly apparant.
First of, the graphics look much better, less shade problems, they're smoother and a lot less jittery.
Second the shooting mechanics got a major overhaul, they feel much smoother now.
And last, but unfortunately for me a change I don't support, no more life-bar and shield indicators and once more a dev succeeds in getting on my nerves by painting spots on my screen when I get hurt... So generic, so sad...
But that's my only negative at the moment and certainly not a deal breaker.
I clocked about 35 hours on ME1 and it seems ME2 will grab me by the goolies as well.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.

It doesnt need to be there though unless you take damage, due to its regen abilities. The moment your shield or health are not at 100% it will appear and stay on your screen until it either regenerates or you die.
If nothing appears there's nothing to worry about.

I thought the anomoly quests where
was pretty unique, if simple. Cool atmosphere.
you have to explore a rusty old alliance ship on the edge of a cliff, as it teeters back and forth
Right, I've decided. I'm reloading back about 4 hours and redoing the last lot of missions. I normally try and live with my decisions in games because it adds that bit of choice/consequence to it all but the ending was possibly the worst out come(for me). And if I still can't get it right I'm restarting the whole game dammit. It should have let you know the point of no return was happening before the actual point of no return(if that makes sense).

Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only; pain we obey.
I've noticed several errors in the game. These two spring to mind:
When maxing out a Soldier's classskill the Shock Trooper and Commando options seem to have been mixed up and should be the other way around.
While freeing a Quarian slave on Illium I'm asked to go talk to a Slake Broker. Obvious spelling error.
Also, if you're a spacer/warhero like me why aren't you given the option to call your mother and tell her you're alive?

Can someone explain how the disc changing works?
After only a few hours into the game, I was prompted to switch to Disc 2. Now I am at the point of no return (final mission) and it prompts me to switch back to Disc 1. Doesn't make much sense to me :/
Amazing game by the way. Can't wait to do it all over again.

I agree a little bit. Watching someone play GTAIV over the weekend, I remembered how good it was in that game, and it just makes ME2 look ever weirder.

You're talking about
a secret character, the very last you get, that comes out of left field with no lead up prior to the mission!

Absolutely. I had no idea about that before I played... and was blown away when it happened. Had I seen that image it would have taken away a lot of the awesome factor.Zeouterlimits said:

people were making avatars featuring him as well as the rest of the crew prior to the game's release. that's what 'spoiled' him for me.
