Illusive Man: "You always have a choice"

Edit: Also another thing that bugs me. Cerberus is supposed to be a covert organization, or at least rely on subterfuge. How the hell does everyone know about Cerberus and can identify their agents on sight.

Illusive Man: "You always have a choice"

"Obey" and "Grudgingly obey" are still choices.

Problem?

They have a logo pasted on everything they own, for one.

 

[Yoshichan]

Wow, this game.

And when I thought this game couldn't get any better... Tali shows up... I want to fucking marry her in real life ;_;

 

[Fimbulvetr]

Holy crap, a real Talimancer.

I thought they were just myths.

 

[Yoshichan]

Sarcasm right ;o? Because I thought everyone loved Tali!

 

[X-Frame]

Who doesn't love Tali?

How is it even possible not too ..

 

[Lakitu]

Just finishing up my fourth and final playthrough for ME 3... completed the suicide mission (with everyone intact), every upgrade available, made the choices I wanted to take through primarily and all I have to do now is LOTSB. Then I'll be ready for Arrival in a couple of weeks and ME 3.

How? Like this, of course: (spoilers)

 

[WrenchNinja]

Tali is a pathetic fangirl. People only like her because it feeds their own Shepherd's ego.

 

[Lostconfused]

Like a boss.

 

[Dice]

Tali is pathetic. She probably looks like a space mouse under the mask.

[Typographenia]

Uh oh, it's turning into a Tali war.
Tali's newest costume has her wearing a visor inside her helmet. How is that not awesome?
I will admit,

Spoiler

that stupid "feel your skin against mine" line was pretty awful,

but other than that Tali's a pretty cool squadmate.

Best teammates in first and second games are all those aliens; Tali, Garrus, Mordin and Wrex.
All you aliens, why are you so cool?


Only teammates I didn't like are Jacob and Kaiden. They're just so... boring.

 

[The Invisible Man]

I'm hoping for a ME2 GOTY edition with all the DLC included for PC.

One complete package on Steam would be excellent!

Make it happen, serah!

 

[UnluckyKate]

.....

.....

How? I want this lifestyle.

I've complete the game with every upgrade possible, all N7 missions done and all missions on Citadel, Illium, Omega and Tuchanka completed. I've explore every system of every cluster to get full 100% and I'm just over 35 hours.

I don't understand how people can go all the way up to 50+ hours with one single game...

It's taken me 43 hours to complete the game on my 4th playthrough, and that's with me knowing how to do every mission and I've still yet to do LOTSB. It's longer than the original, that's for sure.

 

[Yoshichan]

You guys are insane

She's SUPER cute inside the helm

 

[X-Frame]

I'm going to be honest -- I don't think BioWare is going to reveal Tali's face in ME3. Not for a second.

I think they're going to leave it up to the imagination forever, which I think is a smart move.

That, or wait to do it for ME3 DLC.

It'd be funny if they just did it as costume DLC. no mask, just awesome sunglasses!

 

[DD-11]

Is the DLC worth it outside of the shadow broker?

It will happen, after Arrival is out than they will be releasing the GOTY edition just like they did for Dragon Age.

Is the DLC worth it outside of the shadow broker?

I think it is, I like Kasumi and Overlord both are good dlc plus there's also appearance packs and the firepower pack.

 

[RyanardoDaVinci]

Decided to double-dip and get the PS3 version. I was going to wait longer but the Lair of the Shadow Broker is bugged in my PC version and I had a Best Buy gift card laying around, so...

What about the bug in the PS3 version that can wipe saves and/or the whole HDD or something -- has that been patched?

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Is the DLC worth it outside of the shadow broker?

Shadowbroker > Overlord > Kasumi > Everything else. Those three are definitely worth it, the other stuff is superfluous and I do not advise getting them.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Ok, so I'm thinking about picking up the PS3 version and I have a few questions:

1. I HATED the demo, the shooting was complete shit but I liked the dialog and interaction with the characters, does it make up for the terrible gameplay?

2. I don't like RPGs like the FF series, but I don't mind RPG elements like leveling up and stuff, will I like this?

3. I hate stuff like Star-Trek and Stargate because they're so damn cheesy, is it the case here?

4. How can I access the DLC packs, and are they available AFTER I beat the game as well? I don't want to miss them.

5. Is the save-corrupting bug from a while back still here, or have they patched it?

Thanks guys!

 

[kinoki]

1. I HATED the demo, the shooting was complete shit but I liked the dialog and interaction with the characters, does it make up for the terrible gameplay?

BioWare has never been about the gameplay. If you can't stand the gameplay of the demo you're not going to want to stay for the entire game because it's mostly just coverbased shooting.

2. I don't like RPGs like the FF series, but I don't mind RPG elements like leveling up and stuff, will I like this?

Hard to say. It's not going to make the shooting any better.

3. I hate stuff like Star-Trek and Stargate because they're so damn cheesy, is it the case here?

Mass Effect is really just the best of Star Trek, Babylon 5 and Star Wars wrapped into one and then presented. If that sounds cheesy to you then it will be cheesy for you.

4. How can I access the DLC packs, and are they available AFTER I beat the game as well? I don't want to miss them.

You can do them whenever. The only "DLC" you can't do anytime is the interactive comic which has to be installed before the first playthrough if you want to use it.

5. Is the save-corrupting bug from a while back still here, or have they patched it?

I believe it's still there.

 

[Lostconfused]

So I decided to play on Insanity for some god forsaken reason. And all I can say is that the load times are driving me fucking insane. I don't mind dying over and over again but sitting there and staring at the loading screen for ten seconds every time is making me bat shit crazy.

 

[Mithos]

5. Is the save-corrupting bug from a while back still here, or have they patched it?

I believe it's still there.

The memory fragmentation bug that for the most part was to blame for the crash during save/load sessions have been eliminated, but it (save-corrupting) might not be 100% gone, but it's way safer now then before the patch.

I don't mind dying over and over again but sitting there and staring at the loading screen for ten seconds every time is making me bat shit crazy.

Wow 10 seconds? Every time I die its 30sec-1min before It's game time again.

 

[GeoramA]

Just bought this for $26.99 (PS3) on Amazon, brand new. Looks like that was the last one, because it's back to $54 now.

 

[Sai]

Sure is taking a while for the game(360) to boot up for me recently. Think it has something to do with the sign-in to the Cerberus Network... Maybe I should try clearing the cache before I start up the game.

I've been experiencing something similar. 1 out of 2 times when I boot it up, it takes ages to load and then when I load up my save game, it says it can't recognise any of the DLC.

Has anyone had this weird glitch with Kasumi's alternate colors appearing like this?

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

I posted this on the original thread, but I'll post it here also:

To anyone who beat the game, got a question:

Without spoiling anything, can anyone give me some insight on this?

Spoiler

I got enough paragon points to finally gain both Miranda and Jack's loyalty. This is before the suicide mission (which I haven't played yet). Am I on the right track? I know you had to choose one's loyalty if I didn't have enough paragon points. So is it better to have both of their loyalty before the IFF? Also, I couldn't get Zaeed's loyalty since I saved the factory workers. Should it matter or did I mess up?

And can't believe I'm really enjoying this game. I think it's my favorite RPG of this gen. Honestly, I really like FFXIII but after playing ME2, FFXIII feels even more disappointing.

 

[Snuggles]

Yes.

As long as you have the necessary amount of paragon/renegade points, everyting will be OK.

Spoiler

It's been a while since I played this, but if you want everyone to survive I recommend doing everything you want to complete before doing IFF. Not having one persons loyalty isn't too bad, pretty sure there's a loophole for at least one character. You have to make the correct choices though.

1. AFAIK it's the exact same. It's okay as a whole but good for a Bioware game

2. This isn't anything like FF, it just has RPG elements while being a mediocre cover shooter.

3. It's like any old scifi show, really. Then again, that's what I like since I enjoy Star Trek for being cheesy (though stargate and the ilk however I hate) It's more like TNG if you want to make that comparison but keep in mind the first game has more interesting story.

4. They're available before or after, though you can miss a whole character that is part of the base game if you're not careful. (not dlc).

5. Bioware doesn't fix shit. The first patches for DA2 and ME2 were simple text fixes no actual game issues.

 

[RoaringHawk]

Finally got this game (PS3).

Absolutely loving it!

Is the DLC already on the CD and gets installed with the game, or do I have to download it from the store?

 

[Dice]

I didn't really like Overlord, at least not $7.00 like it. It was super boring until the end, which I found predictable. Kasumi wouldn't be worth it just as a mission but you get her as a character so it's all good. Shadow Broker is the best DLC ever made for any game.[/liarabias]

Really? Guess I messed up this time.

I plan to play it again. I missed a a lot of stuff during this first play-through.

I want to play as a renegade in the 2nd play through just to see the different side of the game.

When I first saw that trailer I hadn't played ME2, and only a little of ME1 on my brother's 360 years ago, so I didn't really understand the context. Knowing now what a Reaper is capable of and seeing it again, I'm worried about ME3. I'm afraid that they'll have written themselves into a setup that can only be resolved by some incredibly lame deus ex machina (although for I'd have to applaud them for sheer balls if they made the Reapers susceptible to the common cold).
