actual aliun prons this time?

kyhas · Fri May 29, 2009 11:47 am

i'm so psyched for this game

and why shouldn't i be it can't be worse. also the anti-citidel could contain prostitutes for your alien love scenes nannal.

but the game sounds good really good plus bioware hence my trust

as i read on E3 feed if someone grabs link as i cba right now, some details about maybe playing shepard until a point he dies? perhaps. also characters you killed in last game will as expected not be in this game if you load a game save. and if you were truly good or evil in last game and continued that streak with the save in this game there is exclusive endings specifically for that.

About Shepard;

Quote:

The details were unveiled in a preview in the latest issue of OXM magazine, which states rather enigmatically that players can expect to play as Shepherd for "at least a portion of the game," according to [url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/me2-characters-locations-weapons-revealed]Eurogamer

. Shepherd will have changed in the time between titles however, with the sequel presenting the character in a darker and much grittier style than before.[/quote]

Mass Effect is one of my favourite (single-player) games of all time, I will definately be following this.

I think they should just scrap Shepard, because of the fact that Shepard was not a character. Shepard was a blank canvas that could be whoever/whatever you wanted him/her to be. You even got to choose his/her history and background.
They should have a new lead character (maybe bring back some of the old accomplices (especially Wrex, he was amazing)) but set it in the time after ME1, but the alternate endings could also mess up the prospect of a continuing storyline.

Although thats just my opinion.

I shall now tell you via our current information. A shepard you shall play as to begin the game. Something will happen to him. You shall then carry on with a different character in a story line after mass effect one where human colonies are dissapearing. Familiar faces will return UNLESS you load a save where for instance you killed wrex in which case nope not there.

Hope that helps summarise it so far.

Sorry, I hadn't read that article xD,

As long as you can load your old Shepard (my girl one is ace

) then it'll be fine, but what will be happening with the council and such? that depends on which ending you had

kyhas · Sun May 31, 2009 9:34 pm

excatly i'm sure theres an ending generically for those nto played the first one a very neutral one i assume.

But there will be chages to story and characters present based on your game save PLUS if your totally paragon the whole game or renegade the whole game on both save and ME2 theres unique endings apparently

Skillers · Sun May 31, 2009 10:42 pm

I like the idea of loading the ME1 save, other than the fact I never completed it. Something for Summer, methinks.

De4dW0lf · Mon Jun 01, 2009 3:15 pm

I recently started it again on a random impulse

so I guess it was pretty good timing.

And I know this may seem sad, but probably my favourite part of ME is talking to your crew members inbetween missions.
The characters are just so brilliantly written and acted

kyhas · Mon Jun 01, 2009 4:16 pm

its ok btu i find the first citidel bit boring third time through

also wolf im an engie max level with garrus and wrex at sarens base on insanity difficulty. first char so no added proficienties from other classes either.......

Skillers · Mon Jun 01, 2009 6:15 pm

Heh, Wolf, I did that too, went around and talked to everyone!

Game is already leaked...

Trailers are amazing, hopefully the game will be as well, it's a bit on the big side though

kyhas · Fri Jan 22, 2010 2:37 pm

Big if your downloading yes, 15GB if i remember correctly

Which i ordered via GAME and so the disc will do it effortlessly.

Shame its already leaked

But yes i have seen every trailer i believe on their site as well as every article on people armour and weapons. My enthusium hasn't died since may. I re-played mass effect on the PC. nearly done second playthrough

Ogris · Fri Jan 22, 2010 5:11 pm

Mmmm, the storytelling and presentation are just insane, the gameplay is somewhere between "meh" and "average" though, they completely screwed it up -.-, sprint, use, cover AND vault bound to the same key, seriously?

kyhas · Fri Jan 22, 2010 11:05 pm

your playing it? <I AM INSULTING PEOPLE>.

still should be easy enough to unbind all those actions to ones that work

Ok, so i wen't through this game a bit more and WOW. The attention to detail, is immense, everything is perfectly polished, everything and i mean EVERYTHING you did in the first game carries over. It's just amazing, the gameplay won't grab your interest much, but everything else is just polished to perfection.

Skillers · Sat Jan 23, 2010 4:52 pm

Sounds like I need to break out the original again

Ogris · Sat Jan 23, 2010 9:02 pm

Anyone remember conrad, the guy who wanted your autograph/picture/help him join the spectres?

He's back, and you can shoot him in the foot. Made my day.

kyhas · Sat Jan 23, 2010 11:09 pm

Less spoilers, its not out till 26th in USA and 29th here in EU

Enjoy playing it but little things like that i don;t wan to hear......just yet untill i've played it and probably missed it

I'm not lame enough to torrent it

Ogris · Sun Jan 24, 2010 12:06 am

Don't worry, I'm not going to spoil anything

kyhas · Sun Jan 24, 2010 8:15 am

well mass effect 1, since you brought up conrad, i'm curious what he'll do if you totally reject him, the renegade response

Ogris · Sun Jan 24, 2010 8:50 pm

THIS IS IN A SPOILER TAG FOR A FUCKING REASON, DON'T COMPLAIN IF IT SPOILS ANYTHING.

Spoiler for Well, i finished the game:

kyhas · Sun Jan 24, 2010 9:16 pm
