does installing game on xbox360 make a big difference?
I hate the loading screens, especially after dying.

It reduces loadings considerably.. Best example I have is when entering the citadel you have to wait for the C-Sec guard to scan you (while the game is loading the Zakera Wards). If you have the game installed, the guard will say "Sorry for the inconvenience, sir" just once.. while if you don't he'll say it two, maybe 3 times.

That's why I hated Liara. She just threw her space pussy at you.

Currently rolling as an Infiltrator on my Insanity playthrough from scratch. (no imports) So far I mostly focused on upgrading, Disruptor ammo, Cloak, Operative & Geth Shield Boost. Any other tips?
First playthrough (hardcore) I was a Sentinel. Still my favourite class in the game even though I just got the Widow sniper rifle for my Infiltrator. Sentinel strips those defenses like it is nothing.
Will probably be trying Vanguard after.

The question is whether or not you pursued the romance at all. If you didn't, then there's no picture on your desk (as in you didn't talk to them enough or you dismissed them). If you actually get to the scene where they confront you before Ilos, and THEN turn them down, someone said you'll still get their picture on your desk.

Vanguards use Warp, Harbinger uses Warp and Singularity.DeaconKnowledge said:
Better than the way enemy Biotics were presented in the first game, but I still think they fall short. Don't have to be as powerful as the Biotics of Shepard and his crew, but it would've been nice to see Throw and Pull used by the enemy as well.

Yes... I need some desperately. Completed it a second time yesterday, got all upgrades (except for Heavy Weave 5/5... where is it?
) and I played some post game today, Kelly came up to my room and did her thing but no one else wants to speak to me and there's nothing else I can do besides have drinks on Citadel, Illium and Omega. I need me some Hammerhead DLC.ChillWinston

So I beat the game and it gave me the option to start over or continue playing that game. I chose to continue playing, there's a few side quests I want to mop up and I wanted to chat with my crew. Quick question, can I still choose to do the new game carry over any time I want? That wasn't a one time only decision was it?
so several GAF members have received the Mass Effect N7 shirts I have sent over to them. I dare them to take a picture of themselves with the shirt on to show people some N7 Love.
Skilotonn, yours will probably take over 2 weeks to get there from the US, but I've never sent anything to the country you reside in, so I am just giving a wild guess haha.

Jack Wall...ugh. I wonder if Sam Hulick was forced to take a backseat in Mass Effect 2, or if the music team just had an off year (or two.).
There's just nothing like this in Mass Effect 2, and that's a darn shame.

A lowly Soldier. Imported from ME1 though.
And pretty useless against the last boss, to be honest. Ammo suddenly became something of a problem there.

Just finished it.
I didn't think much of the first Mass Effect, but goddamn, Mass Effect 2 has turned me into a believer. What an amazing, amazing game. Best RPG I've played in quite some time.

I disagree. Listening to the OST there's a ton of fantastic tracks, sadly subdued in the game and hard to hear. The Illusive Man's theme is brilliant, and many of the tracks are remixes or inspired by chords from tracks in the original. Just listen to the themes for
Garrus, Legion, Tali, and some others
I dont think its perfect but its still very good. I really like
The Collector Base

Same here. I did the same in ME1, and I'm near the end of my ME2 Insanity Infiltrator playthrough now.
I don't play pure paragon/renegade, though. I roleplay favoring that mindset, but use a mix of paragon/neutral/renegade options. Contrary to popular belief, it's easy to get enough paragon/renegade points to solve any problem with charm/intimidate; in that regard, pure playthroughs are complete overkill.

Infiltrator or Soldier, I can't pick just one.

That's a good one, my personal favorite from ME1 is Spectre Induction.

Vanguards are super fun to play with, even on insanity. The start might be a little rough, but just focus on maxing out Charge to get Heavy Charge and then max out your class talent so you can charge more often.Subitai said:
Hell no. Unsure about insanity, but on Hardcore, all I had to do was hit adrenaline rush and I shot down 3 of 4 of those tubes before they retracted. The LMG (Assault Rifle from the derelict Collector ship) plus AP ammo with just adrenaline rush made the boss fight end so fast that Harbinger didn't even decide to show up.Zeitgeister said:

Some people will call foul on how cheesy they are, and how simplistic the writing is, but if you're a sucker for the Mass Effect universe they're good enough to read. But I'm one of those people who'll lap up everything for this franchise

Thats pretty special ability to have. You know, being able to calculate the sum total filesize of all assets (models, textures, engine, voice work, music, shaders, worlds, FMVs, animations, etc).
Prine said:
My understanding is that certain heavily scripted missions are on different discs. The galaxy map and the Normany, however, are on both discs. For example, I could go to a loyalty mission and be forced to change to disc 2, or I could instead recruit another character and stay on disc 1.
Dilly said:
They are decent; they helped fill in the story gaps pre-ME1 and between ME1 and ME2. If you are a fan of the lore, you'll like them. Each of the two books covers a subject referenced in the games, so it's kind of cool to get more details. Well, cool to me anyway. :lol
