Here in Sweden the collectors edition is delayed until the 4th march.
Feels kinda bad when you have to pay more buying the collectors ed and also have to wait an week extra...

 

[Doodis]

Anyone?

Vanguard is a mix between Adept (biotic powers) and Soldier (weapons).

Basically:
Adept = powers
Soldier = weapons
Engineer = tech

Then:
Adept + Solder = Vanguard
Adept + Engineer = Sentinel
Soldier + Engineer = Infiltrator

 

[DY_nasty]

Anyone?

Well... you can pick up your squadmates advanced skills as well as respec your own skills at just about any point in the game. You just need the resources.

I've only played infiltrator so far, so I can't really give you a good answer. Adept seems to be pretty fun though.

you might as well import the US version, the game is region free.

 

[Joel Was Right]

I went into this store today and noticed the guy at the Entertainment section checkout looked fresh of the boat. I went up to him knowing that he probably didn't understand the concept of launch dates, so I asked if he had any Mass Effect 2 on stock. He rummaged through the shelves one by one reading the corners of each DVD case looking for the game. Eventually he stopped and pulled something out. My heart stopped thinking that omg I'm getting the game 3 days before release. He lays it down on the desk and smiles. I stare at it then look up at him.

It's Mass Effect: Classics

I said to him "um, Mass Effect 2". He turned behind to the shelves again and sadly could not find it.

The Picture Quality of the videos on the collectors edition disc are quite awful, I know Bioware could not use blu-ray but they should have had the option to download the video in the 360 so they could look better.

:lol The CE is looking less relevant by the minute

 

[Arnie]

Great review from EDGE.

 

[Ephemeris]

Finally got my copy.

Sexy time.

 

[RS4-]

Anyone?

Vanguard. Even though you only need the pistol/machine pistol in terms of weapons :lol

 

[Limpiz]

It is? Yeah then ill import it from the US.

 

[The Librarian]

Thanks you guys.

 

[crowphoenix]

Anyone?

If it's still like it was in the first one, I'm pretty sure it's the Vanguard.

 

[mYm|17|]

I'm a Vanguard now, but when I finish this playthrough, I will be switching to Adept.

I wanna be able to use my biotic powers and make my enemies look like pinballs, bouncing around everywhere :lol

 

[MMaRsu]

Whenever I see Miranda, I see this actress

Much hotter than Miranda, or the actress who plays her.

 

[Zeliard]

Sorta wish you could replace the Vanguard's heavy weapons class with the sniper class.

 

[hulot]

I read the OP, but just to be sure, which class best balances weapon use with biotic powers?

It's not like in ME1 with its weapon skills system. All classes in ME2 are proficient with the weapons they're able to use. I'm running an adept which gives me pistols and SMGs and it feels completely different from a vanilla ME1 adept (no bonus AR skill) since I don't need to put points into using a weapon effectively.

 

[Lunchbox]

WAT ??!!!!!

 

[Shinjitsu]

Throw is VERY useful near the end of the game, nd quite comical, not QUITE as funny as Slam though.

 

[ShogunX]

Did you photoshop her tits out of the picture?

 

[SlasherJPC]

Started the game as a Adept and yeah... HELLA FUN!

 

[Jonsoncao]

Bioware is kicking ass on metacritic. If you filter it to show only RPGs, top 3 ever are:

1. Xbox 360: Mass Effect 2 (2010) 96

2. PC Games: Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn (2000) 95

3. Xbox: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (2003) 94

tbh ME and KoTOR are both like some kind of compromises to the mainstream by sacrificing hardcore elements, but they both managed to attract lots of new audiences to Biowareastic role playing games

BG2 is my all time favorite
if only Fallout 3 was No. 4

 

[Aaron Strife]

GAF, I only played like two hours of ME when I rented it. Not that I thought it was a bad game (I liked it), I just didn't have the time to play it.

Should I pick up ME2 or would I be completely lost?

 

[zero margin]

Sorta wish you could replace the Vanguard's heavy weapons class with the sniper class.

Don't you get to pick one optional weapons class?

 

[Zeliard]

Christ, no.

Say whaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!

Pick it up seriously.

After that, do a marathon of ME1 to ME2 in a single playthrough.

 

[neojubei]

Say whaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!

That is a very hott picture.

 

[Zeliard]

Don't you get to pick one optional weapons class?

You get to pick a bonus power. Don't know about an extra weapon type.

 

[Shinjitsu]

Don't you get to pick one optional weapons class?

Yes, you get to pick one additional weapon type as any class later in the game.

 

[Van Owen]

If the Deluxe version unlocks four hours after the regular edition on Steam I'll be fucking pissed...

 

[Dilly]

Say whaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!

Mother of god.

 

[Mad_Ban]

I haven't read any of the reviews yet, but it's nice to see ME2 getting such critical acclaim. I don't think Bioware have it in them to make a bad game.

 

[erpg]

It's 1:02. Come on Steam! I've been edging for hours!

 

[Gilgamesh]

Much hotter than Miranda, or the actress who plays her.

 

[Solo]

Michelle Monaghan is not even remotely as hot as Yvonne.

The game will bring you up to speed through a conversation, but from the sound of things, you'll have to play with a predefined outcome from the first game.

Pick it up but or the love of God DO NOT PLAY NUMBER 2 WITHOUT FINISHING NUMBER ONE.

 

[Dennis]

EDGE gives it 9/10.

Sorry if already posted.

 

[MMaRsu]

Say whaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!

Lol I retract my comment .

Michelle has a nice quality to her though.. like this girl next door type of girl.

 

[See You Next Wednesday]

How is the exploring done actually? Can still walk around the Citadel (or other planets) and just talk to people? You know, that good 'ol RPG stuff.

Anyone?

The reviews say the game has a lack of RPG feel, did they take out the towns/explorable stations out?

 

[Van Owen]

Up on Steam! Time to decrypt. :lol

 

[Saterium]

ME2 on steam is unlocked, had to restart Steam to get it to show up

 

[mYm|17|]

Yea.......about the playing ME2 without having played much of ME1 comment. I am soooooooo glad that I played ME1.

It's a really great game, but definitely helps with you understanding ME2 more. The storyline and characters, etc

 

[Captain Blood]

Not even this gif can display how wrong that man is.

 

[K.Jack]

The clock on the Digital Deluxe Edition was wrong! Thank The Maker!

 

[Pancakes]

Finally got my copy.

Sexy time.

\O/

Edit: I'm so tired even DD coffee is barely keeping me awake, totally worth it though .

 

[kaskade]

Is it possible to make an attractive female in ME2?

 

[ShogunX]

Anyone?

The reviews say the game has a lack of RPG feel, did they take out the towns/explorable stations out?

Its similar to the way its done in number 1. There are a few Hub worlds you can explore, Do Side missions on and most importantly SHOP!!!

 

[Ephemeris]

\O/

 

[careksims]

FINALLY! Steam M2 unlocked!

 

[ShogunX]

Which reminds me. Was speaking with a few Quarians before and They had the same Voice actors as Morrigan and Loghain. Was pretty cool to hear them again.
