Fight for the Lost - The Mass Effect 2 Thread

[Mathew_Freeman]

Finally finished Mass Effect 1 over the weekend! And will be starting my third play-through of ME2 in the next few days.

Really enjoyed the climax of ME1, have to say it's a better story and probably game than the sequel in my eyes. That said, the controls and use of powers is much better in ME2, even if the story doesn't come out as feeling quite as epic.

If they can pull it off, ME3 has the potential to be the best RPG in computer-game history. So. Much. Potential.

I said it's because two isn't telling much of a story, you're basically given a mission at the outset and then set free in the galaxy to go about it as you please. That kind of open ended gameplay doesn't lend itself to strong story telling.

Well, I just the finished the new Overlord DLC.

HOOOLLLEEEE CRAAAAPPPP!!!

This was just brilliant, though I'll admit, not very original. Rogue AI takes over base? Been there, done that. But by god did Bioware ever get the atmosphere right. That feeling of scary robots wanting to kill you? Cranked up to eleven!

As for the ending -

[sblock]Didn't you just want to shoot Dr. Archer for what he did to his brother? Bastard was lucky I was playing with my goody two shoes female Shepard, otherwise I'd have put a bullet to his noggin. [/sblock]

Kudos top Bioware for an incredible DLC.

Well, I think you've just given me my cue to start a second play through.

Time to reinstall the game.

About how long was it?

Installed it in the morning, finished by dinner with a few other things going on.

Heh, I was dumb on my Insanity playthrough -- used my goody-two-shoes Adept Shepard, rather than my far more brutal Renegade Soldier.

Running into packs of Armored Husks with an Adept and needing their armor down before you can actually really hurt them with your powers? Ouch. Thank god for the nigh-invulnerable Grunt and his Shotgun.

Just finished my second playthrough with the Overlord expansion. Loved it. I was playing my ME1 imported Shepherd, and was planning to stay faithful to my ME1 romance, unfortunately, I went a bit farther than I intended flirting with Jack, and wound up with her at the end instead.

Oh well. I'll win Ashley back on the next playthrough!
