I transfered mine from a 20 to a 120 and it was fine. I used a cable though.

I'd like to know this, too.
From people who have played further into ME2, how is the difficulty? I played ME 1 on Normal and enjoyed it. But with Normal being the new Easy these days, I'm worried it may not be much of a challenge. Playing as an Infiltrator, btw.

Sorry if this has been asked but i am on a total blackout for this game, no trailers, no reveiws, nothing, so dont really want to read the thread just incase.
I have the opportunity to snap an import NTSC copy of this tomorrow but im worried about DLC.
Will PAL DLC Work on a NTSC copy of the game? I don't want to get stung =\
Thanks
EDIT - NM, it appears this game is region locked... guy in the shop said it isnt...

Has EA ever gotten DLC right? NHL 10 was a mess this year, Tiger Woods is a joke with the prices for extra courses, DA was a nightmare. Shit, how fucking hard is it to get right???

Jinjo said:Well afaik there is no medium/heavy armor distinction in the game anymore. You can pretty much wear any armor. Also, you get to choose an extra weapon specialization halfway through the game. I had the same reasons as you to pick the soldier class, but I'm going for a sentinel now.
So there's no restriction on what class can wear certain armor's anymore?

I started off on Veteran (the one above Normal) and I found that to be pretty solid.
However, I bumped it up to Hardcore after I got both Thane and Zaeed and a couple of sniper rifle upgrades. Those two are deadly.
I'm playing as Vanguard, but I don't go up close and personal that often.

Why the fuck did I buy this on 360? First time I try and play anything since Forza 3, and the fucker won't get past the splash screen now.

I think I'll end up liking ME2's cast of characters A LOT more than ME1's. I really like
.
Mordin and Garrus already

I know; I was just mentioning the characters I've enjoyed the most so far. I forgot to mention the Illusive Man, though.Ducarmel said:

I wish those spoiler tags had worked in the quote. I didn't know Garrus would return, would have been a pleasant surprise, but no biggie.

wtf it won't let me import any of my characters
I'll be getting this only in a week. ((((((
I don't remember much of what happened in my ME1 playthrough or about the ME universe lore, will I be really lost during ME2??
And I suppose that in no way there's a place online where I can read a plot summary that adapts to my choices right? I don't think I have time for a new ME1 run this week.
Edit- actually, what's up with having to play this asap, I'm going to do a new ME1 run when I have time, get myself up to speed on the universe and my plot choices again, and then play ME2 whenever I finish, it's not like the game is going anywhere.

I've seen a few "HOLY FUCK" posts a few dozen posts back, now it's time for me to post my own... :lol
Two hours in, and I've had this grin on my face the whole damn time - the frame rate, NO texture pop-ups and the way-increased graphics - my goodness is this game fucking impressive!
The intro, the first bits you play, the combat - oh. man.
BioWare I love you.
Mass Effect 2 is the shit and I'm barely anywhere in yet.

To echo the comment of someone else - it's pretty lame that the bonus armors can't be used without the helmet - at least during dialogs. Oh well.

guys,
those playing on PC...are you using a controller or keyboard & M?
I played ME on 360, so I'm finding my transition to the PC keyboard mapping to be a bit uncomfortable at times.

edit, nvm, its in OP
Why are you people starting on insanity??
do you like ruining games for yourselves? this is why devs lock away the hardest difficulties. insanity is for the second playthroughs with a new game+.
play on normal to enjoy the game and change it to hardcore if you want a challenge.

god damn it.
Why didn't EA or Bioware let us know ahead of time that to import our ME1 character you need to have the autosave after beating saren :/
Not gonna play through ME1 again

Nah, soldier is a complete waste in ME2, at least for a first run through. They've made some changes to biotics and techs such that they are a BLAST to play, and given the right class you could get pretty far without ever firing a shot if you wanted.

I hope so - I usually don't listen to soundtracks until after I finish a game, so I'm not sure.BenjaminBirdie said:
Also, this is a really small thing, but I adore that you can hear the club music behind a door, and open the door to the full blast without any loading or interruption. So cool.

cool man.Darkman M said:
yea, I'm gonna give it another hour or 2. if I'm still not feeling it, I'll do the DualShock 3 + PC thing.
hard to come up with nitpicks for such a great game
-ending wasn't satisfying, more like leaves you with an empty spot for something. (if you beat it, you'll understand).
-some of the side missions were really short. i think i cleared one in like 2 min on normal mode, haha, felt kinda tacked on but it's better than nothing.
the loyalty missions were solid gold. my favorite part of the game.
overall though, i was very engrossed and loved almost every minute of this game. i beat it around 32 hours and did all side quests and visited some planets, but not them all since most had nothing. it's really easy to get lost in the lore of the galaxy the created, i could see myself watchin a TV show based on it really easy.
i did a 14 hour binge session to beat the game, it really sucked me in, the first 6 or so hours were pretty slow (except for the awesome intro!)
