as others have mentioned, Grunt isn't as interesting as Thane, Mordin and a few other members, but he does have an awesome animation that has him celebrating. I believe most will find it humorous.

Do any of the male romance characters get kind of flirty with male Shepard? I had always thought there was something a bit off about Kaiden in the first game, until I had found out that he was meant to be the female Shepard's romance option, and then I understood.

If the free DLC works for me, I'll pass along my Inferno code to you once Amazon decides to give it to me.

You're a champion. I'll bake you a cake, but I might have to eat it myself.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

yeah, some guy posted pics
don't worry, it seems the free DLC works just fine

Couldn't those pics just be from someone who got the actual codes?

I guess we'll all find out at midnight.

 

[Samara]

Alright, thanks for the answers guys. Not used to this whole dlc thingies. alright, since ephemeris pm'ed me for the code, Ill see tomorrow if i can give out either the rifle or the armor in the CE.

There are people on other boards that say all the DLC works fine. I don't know how well you trust other boards though.

so your love interest is the one that appears with you in the beginning of the game? when I previewed I had liara, but a friend that got it early had Ashley..

What happens if you didn't romance anyone?

It's one of the best intros I've seen in a while, I'll tell you that.

Doesn't the game automatically assumes between either

Spoiler

Ashley or Kaiden depending on what gender your Shepard is ?

 

[syllogism]

Come on people. We NEED to know.:lol

Well,

Spoiler

I don't think you can. You can flirt with her and invite her to a dinner but I don't think it was implied it was anything more than that

[SPACECADET]

glad to see the free DLC is working without cerebrus network. i was bummed when i'd heard it was useless without it.

if the DLC does work when i get the game, and MS doesn't rip them off our harddrives, i'll be having a terminus armor/gun and blood dragon armor code to give out.

He had everything, including the Incisor Sniper Rifle. The Dr.Pepper Promo Codes aren't out yet and nobody outside BioWare knows what you have to do get the 360 version Incisor Sniper Rifle.

I'll take the Terminus Gear if you don't want it. I still need it for the PC version (gonna pick that as soon as I upgrade my PC). I'll send you a 1 month live gold card for it if you want

Both of us have Male sheps. I'm pretty sure that it's in reference to who you

[GuardianE]

damn it, i preordered the CEs of gears, mass effect, halo 3, gears 2 and fallout 3, and they were all plentiful
now is the first time i didn't preorder a CE i wanted, and it's actually limited??? OH WHAT THE FUCK, i hate this crap :lol

The Mass Effect 1 CE is limited. Check going prices.

This one, however? Probably won't be. It's still available at almost every online retailer except Gamestop and Amazon. Gamestop ALWAYS pulls the "sold out of the CE, shoulda pre-ordered earlier" crap. It's a way to get you into the mentality of pre-ordering earlier on everything you want. Amazon's stock always seems to fluctuate, and has been going in and out of stock for a while.

 

[Ephemeris]

Ah.. I got ya.

Exactly what I wanted to hear.

If you're disappointed I'll buy your copy of the game. *


*You'd need to send me $500 to arrange the polygraph test to prove you're telling the truth.

But jokes aside, if it doesn't get you hyped for the game, then I don't know what would.

I'm getting nervous about my order with amazon- it's still listed as "shipping soon" even though I chose release date delivery.

 

[WhiskeyKnight]

Has anyone who pre-ordered at bestbuy.com gotten a shipment email yet?

I was promised release day delivery for my $5.99 and I'm getting a little worried...

if anyone could spare an inferno/terminus/whatever code, i'd greatly appreciate it (i got the collector's stuff tho)

A couple of people from the Hype thread who ordered from BB got shipment emails last Thursday.

BestBuy.com does Release Day Delivery like Amazon? Did not know that.

Yes. Mine shipped on the 22nd. Free shipping. I should be getting it today or tomorrow, based on the tracking. I'd give them a call.

you got it. if everything works out good i'll PM you the terminus code later on.

 

[Pancakes]

Hrm, to go to the midnight release or not, that is the question...

 

[JKTrix]

Preloaded on Steam a few days ago, and am about to finish ME1 for the first time (Just about to head to Ilos).

Was hyped to be playing this as soon as midnight struck, but I just found out that it's not gonna unlock on Steam at Midnight. Bummer.

How close are you guys to a BB?

Worst case scenario: it's not gonna arrive on launch day, but you roll into BB - buy it - and return the one you eventually get in the mail for a full refund.

 

[mattiewheels]

Got my PC version today. Running the game at 60 fps 1080 16x aa buttery fucking smooothhh. Funny, part 1 one with same settings runs slower than part 2 with the same settings.

That's good to know, my new iMac should be able to handle it at 1080.

(why can't steam just release the game at midnight like you'd think they would?)

 

[Killer]

Where can i get the song that was in the launch trailer? it was EPIC.

 

[Skilotonn]

I hope either Microsoft or BioWare start to feel a bit guilty about this exclusive pre-order stuff and put them all up for a day or something, because I took a quick peek over on the official boards and a couple people there are pissed, like the rest of us understandably are.

Hrm, to go to the midnight release or not, that is the question...

You really asking that now when you're THIS close to the game?

GO!

 

[JKTrix]

Now that I thought about it for two seconds, I guess it's a politics thing. Throwing the retailers a little bone by not releasing the digital version at the stroke of midnight.

Still sucks for me.

 

[Pancakes]

I'll be a zombie when I walk in to my 8AM class on Tuesday :lol.

 

[wonkyaddict]

Anybody got any extra Terminus armor/weapon codes and Dr. Pepper codes? I'll trade you a 1 month XBL code for them.

 

[kyo_daikun]

Still sucks for me.

I was just looking at game.co.uk and their digital release and it says they will send you the activation code at 1 minute past midnight which is good of them, obviously we europeans get it 3 days after america so no use to you

You're not Pankaks. You're an imposter!

It's not from the game, it's part of a soundtrack. I forget the movie though.

Someone here knows.

Who cares if you'll be a zombie. Play all night until class, come back afterwards and crash.

Its the only way to go.

So free DLCs work. FUCK YEAH!!!



This shittacular UI element better get patched.

It's really not that bad. It doesn't get very veiny until you're about dead anyway. I play on normal and hardly ever see those veins.

Holy crap @ Mass Effect 2 hype. Go Bioware!

I think ME2 is the Xbox 360 Title of The Year.

I think ME2 is the Xbox 360 Title of The Year.

If reality matches my perception, based on ME1, ME2 should be game of the forever.

At the very least they could add the items to the marketplace at some point. Those who jump through all the ridiculous "pre-order/buy this!" hoops get them for free, while other people can atleast buy them off the store. Maybe make it a DLC pack or something.

I just saw the infamous shagging videos on Youtube. I wonder how this series gets away with bestiality. Its immoral to bed someone of a different species. Yet GTA got so much flack and attention for the Hot Coffee mod.
