Oh dear

I actually starting to miss the loot from ME1. This upgrade system is strange.
There were some funny glitches during talking sequences where one member was sliding right from way back to right up to the person talking. Couple of times i got stuck walking onto a tall object.

I checked my latest save for ME1 and it ends at level 49 and I can't get it any higher because it's right near the end. The next earliest save is like 6 hours before that so it looks like I'll be starting from 1 in ME2. I'm not playing through all of ME1 again just for a few boosts. Bummer.

Mordin and Garrus have been rather okay with this.
However, Miranda and Jacob are the chief offenders in my party. I usually just sigh pretty loudly when Miranda decides to charge the giant mech power armor of the moment only to get a gatling gun burst to the face.
Some animations are repetitive (arm crossing) but they changed that up.I NEED SCISSORS said:
Push the back button to holster weapons. I wish I could switch weapons just a little bit faster though...infinityBCRT said:
Later in the game, when their levels are higher and you're all significantly stronger, the right squad in the right situation will run through anything. Be sure to take advantage of squad commands though. For example, Jack is the best flanking party member in the game. Position her right at the side of the enemy line, make sure she's lined up, then let her rip through them with a shockwave.Lebron said:
For some of the boss fights, you really need to take advantage of squad commands in order to survive.

You need to go to the Local Cluster and scan Uranus and throw some probes on it, you can get some funny dialogue from the AI. :lol
The load times are a bit heavy, yeah. I've got on 360 and installing has cut down load times pretty significantly.Himuro said:
Also, I haven't seen much if any popping and the frame rate issues of ME1 are long gone.
Edit: muthafuckin husks been diggin in my ass....
Yes, both of them are retarded. I don't even bother picking them anymore, well at least for now.MechaX said:
Yeah, I kind of figured as such. I never had to bother with it in ME1, well outside of Liara's mother, so it's an adjustment.DY_nasty said:
And uh, Kaiden...
I wish I had my 360 with me and my saves.
I killed him off for a reason!
edit: For people with the PC version, how do you take screenshots?

Did I miss the explanation for why ships don't need to use relays for FTL travel in the game?

I don't miss the loot system at all from ME1, IMO the loot from that game was awful, just simple texture swaps, in practice, there was no real thought into it beyond what "type" of weapon to use in ME1 , which is carried over in ME2, so basically ME2 focuses on perk-like character advancement, and upgrades, and IMO greatly improves on the combat, while im not sure if its still dice rolling behind the scenes, it feels much more responsive then ME1 did, and much more shooter-like, which is a GOOD THING when you sold your game with that kind of combat.
ME1 felt like a weird mesh of shooter onto rpg (much like fallout 3 did) while ME2 feels like shooter first (combat wise) with perks and rpg style choices beyond non combat.Id actually prefer this approach to New Vegas, in looking at how it could influence Fallout. Basically if you are going to use real time fps combat in your rpg make it like a shooter and add the rpg perks on it, dont dice roll and over think "loot" to come up with weird things such as a science robe that imbues you somehow with +20 to doctor skill...

Rename the Mass Effect 2 executable (.exe) to UT3.exe
Then go into CCC and select 4xAA, and enable advanced Catalyst AI.
And then launch UT3.exe. That should do it.

Wow, this game is absolutely fantastic. Only about 5 hours in but I'm in love. Seriously, it's a lot better than ME1.
Weapon upgrades are one thing, weapons themselves though have huge differences.ZombieSupaStar said:
The pistol for example. You've got the one you start with, which has decent heat sink stores, moderate rate of fire, but gimpy damage and accuracy. Then you've got the heavy pistol, which only has like 24 shots, but is highly accurate and packs a pretty solid punch.
The sniper rifles are pretty different too... (Widow 4 life)
Time actually slows down a bit as you snipe with the infiltrator. Be sure to add points to your class skill. (Not Cloak, but your actual operative skill or whatever its called)jjasper said:
Ok, so I've been told this game requires a 'less' powerful system than the first. Can anyone verify this? Preferably someone running it at a high resolution with an 8800 GTS?
I can run ME1 at 30+ FPS on High at 1900 1200. It is safe to say I should see similar performance with ME2?

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
is there any way to make the mouse camera even less sensitive than the low setting in the options? it just feels kind of erratic to me.

I find it super annoying that there is no 'Black' option for Pattern Color in armor customization. Or Dark Blue for that matter.

Man, Omega is such an awesome location. They really did a great job putting it together.
So far, the dialogue in this game feels a lot better than the first, which was already awesome. The game looks much better, too. My only real gripe so far is that I wish there were as many skills to put points in as the first game had.

Interesting, the closest I found to black in the Pattern Color bar was a very dark red that I nearly mistook for black, and dark green, maybe its something with the Material selection I'm choosing.
Any chance that more Pattern options get unlocked as the game goes on? 3 seems a bit skimpy.

Can't say for certain. I do wish that there were more though.Wiggum2007 said:
I'd have also liked a few more casual wear options... my ghetto space lumberjack shepherd would like to wear some other non-cerberus attire if given the chance.
