Such a beast rolling through the galaxy. Thank you Bioware for the good times.Gained the loyalty of every mofo in my group. Every single member survived and I tapped Miranda's ass before the final battle. My team was a beast. Every member upgraded to full everything + their specialty weapons/armor/skill. I had 200,000+ of every elements(needed for upgrades) after fully upgrading everyone and myself except element zero cause I farmed the living shit outta them planets after fully upgrading my ship as well.
Oh man, that set my mind at ease
I was seriously concerned that I'd have to Virmire one or more of my squad regardless of how well I played it out. Thanks.
On another note, my Amazon release day delivery hasn't shipped yet.
At least my PC version is preloaded and hopefully will unlock tomorrow.

It runs unbelievably well. Makes ME1 look like a joke. Seriously, runs about 60fps at all times except for giant explosive firefights with settings maxed on my midrange system, whereas ME1 choked and sputtered and had sound issues. Hell, it runs much better than Bioshock 1, or Dragon Age.

Shit. I was watching a stream and I was spoiled a big twist about the Collectors. If anyone wants to watch streams, avoid journal notes.

damn zaeed looks great. i think my first run at least i'm gonna stick with thane and grunt though.
if i can't have wrex, i guess ill take grunt :/
what a lacking name though. when you heard the name wrex you knew he was the shit. grunt just makes me think of halo grunt and immediately makes ME2 grunt look weak.

ha, no horrendous space buggy, that's good. I just watched the IGN Mass Effect in 5 mins story and I laughed. For anyone that hasn't seen it, spoilers hoping that is totally obvious but hey better safe than sorry.

I wouldn't be surprised if I start sweating within the next hour or so.
I just played the first couple of hours I'm at the part
and I'm so lost story wise.
I mean I get all the new stuff, mostly, but I can't remember a thing about what happened in the first game. Something about a council or something, but gezzz that was so long ago.
A recap would have been nice. I know there are tons of ways that you could have played the first one, but I started a new Shepard so throwing me a quick bone about what the hell happened previous would have been cool of Bioware.
where you go get the upgrades doc

Same here. But Mass Effect 2 is simply going in a different direction. I don't mind it nearly as much when the game isn't doing something like, say, labeling itself a "spiritual successor to System Shock 2" and ending up being far from that. Mass Effect 2 has a pretty singular focus and it achieves its goals pretty effectively. I think it's a much better game than the first.
I'm not familiar enough with your taste to say whether or not you'll like the game. I would just advise not to go in expecting it to be similar to a PC RPG classic like Deus Ex or Vampire: The Masquerade, because that's the sort of thing that will lead someone to be disappointed in Mass Effect 2. If you take it for what it is, it's a fine game.
Your buddy is correct about Thane, by the way. Might be the best character to come out of Bioware since, well, HK-47.

So I never played mass effect 1 and don't really have an interest after reading about its faults. I also heard that ME2 is awesome and they fixed the problems from ME1. Is ME2 worth playing without having the background of the first game?

Im trying to get through ME 1 now before ME 2. Game gets a lot more interesting when you get the galaxy map. I think 99% of people that dont finish ME never get past the Citadel. Once the galaxy map is opened up, its really fascinating exploring all the areas.
Does ME 2 have a galaxy map like ME 1? It better.
Im glad there are loyalty missions that force you to use a certain character, I played the entirety of Mass Effect 1 with just 3 people, the two humans and then Wrex when Kaiden died. I think the biggest problem is despite their differences, the AI are too similar in the sense it really doesn't matter who you have with you.

Switch it around. There's absolutely no reason to use the same party through the whole game.

That's how I play almost any RPG, I'm so glad Bioware got rid of the "Play the majority of the game with X" achivements.
My DA PS3 BDA and ME2 360 BDA are separate from that ME2 PC/Mac BDA....Alucrid said:
I don't think its that crazy for them to release a crummy emulated Mac version of ME2 a couple of weeks later without any fanfare. They did it for DA.....

damn just got finished with the game,(got the game at a mom n pop shop) and all i can say it is HOLY CRAP. i was very skeptical about ME2 i thought ME1 was a good but not great game with ME2 being hyped way too much. boy was i wrong ME2 improves the problems in ME1 and then some. combat is satisfying now(even thought it more shooter than RPG now) the side quests are done in a much better and less time wasting way and it has the best cast of characters in any video game in my opinion. I also that the "interrupt system" was a stupid gimmick but it really does change the way the game is played. All i can say is people better not forget this game when it comes to GOTY time.
