Multiplat Mass Effect 2

[Forrest Gimp]

8:30 tomorrow mourning it unlocks on steam (perth time). **** work, I'm spending the day playing this

 

[RickSanchez]

Haha I know a few people that are taking work off to play as well.

 

[Jono B]

96 on metacritic with lotsa perfect scores. Epic game

9th of all time ATM. Want so bad.

 

[bok_party]

I just have to say, the opening of this game is one of the best i have ever seen.

 

[Mancey]

Just about to break the seal on this bad boy. 88 bucks at Big W, not sure if you can get it cheaper but fyi all the same.

Local EB had sold out. Hasn't happened in recent memory for any games i've been buying. Epic fail on their behalf

 

[Valentino Dmitri]

The whole working thing doesn't suit your persona anyway Jake. I say go for it

I agree, this whole getting up early bullshit is for the birds

Seriously can't wait for retirement, mostly to play rpg's and shit.

Even Edge gave it a 9 - and they ****ing HATE games.

I'm very much enjoying the first hour or two. No spoilers obviously, but a few notes so far:

*Looks very good. Apparently. I wouldn't know, lost my glasses on Australia Day and I can't see shit. I'm squinting with my nose against the tv trying to work out my dialogue options and stuff.

*I'm liking the combat (although still getting used to the changes) - cover is more sensible and I prefer managing ammo to the overheating on ME1 - tactically reloading when you have a spare 2 secs in a gunfight is more intuitive IMO. Still not sure what I'm looking at with the HUD just yet though.

*Those new interrupts with dialgoue look to be the goods = my Shepherd laid down the law on a couple of pricks and it was far more satisfying than I expected. I think it will really add to your roleplaying, especially if you are playing a take-no-shit character. I like it!

*Biggest holy shit moment - hearing an Australian accent in a video game that isn't shit! I'd like to see more of it please. Usually they're all like 'Oim Ostraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalian, by crikey' before drifting into irish or german for a few sentences and shit. Miranda goes off! looks like a pretty cool character too, unfortuantely I'm not picking up any lesbian tendencies so I'm hoping joker will try and run one through her at some point

And you said pre-ordering is not worth the hassle.

Might help that she is an actual Aussie from NSW. Yvonne Strahovski. Slowly but surely Aussies are creeping into games more and more, there was one in Mercs 2 I believe. Uncharted 2's main girl was an Aussie and now ME2. LEAD THE WAY AUSSIES!!!

Lol, its not. Walked 50m to big w and bought it for 20 bucks cheaper. Pwnt

Not that EB don't price match anyway....but why not go to Big W instead of EB when you know you'd be getting the cheaper price? Seems you would/would've pwnt yourself by going to the more expensive option first.

 

[RequiemBlade]

Picked it up today and so far I'm LOVING IT!! I'm loving the direction they're taking the story and having to go through and find all the people i need for my team. So far I've only picked up one extra person but i'll be sure to continue it later tonight.

 

[Mancey]

Was going to price match the big w price at eb because i wanted to trade in a couple of games.

They didn't have the game so went back to big w.

Your aspie need to know every single detail about everything is disturbing sometimes hutchie

 

[Noppo]

Make sure the Nomandy Radar is the first thing you upgrade, it's totally worth it.

Pfft, it'll get more reviews and drop to 95.

[Biggy_Boy]

As I recall, that was from about 40+ reviews last time I checked.

It's more to the fact that should you pre-order ME2, then you don't have to walk that HUGE 50 metres TWICE (must've been a hard task for such a lazy person as yourself).

Riiiiiight.

And the rest of us will just be happy that we have a great game(s) to play.

 

[Mancey]

Good to see my man Chuck Shepherd back after a 2 year abscence

 

[Lethal]

Anyone with the collectors edition been to the

Spoiler

Normandy crash site? Was eerie walking through the wrekage with the flashes also.

 

[Mancey]

Didn't need the collectors edition, unlock came with the standard game? Downloaded but haven't been there yet

I like the customisable armour, currently walking around in green and gold ala 80's aussie one day uniform.

Did anyone work out datapad hacks without googling, thanks for the tute biowares sheesh
