I'll be playing this on 360. My laptop could never handle it, and I'm not building a gaming rig while I'm still in Korea.

Green Shinobi, use Play-Asia! Who knows when the hell it will hit Korea...if you have a U.S. 360, you can get the American version from them for a decent price and the game will be there in no time flat, and if you bought an Asian system there you can get the Asian version for $49.00.

I only saw this this morning :'(, but I was still able to get the Collector's items.

It actually showed up on Slickdeals, which probably killed it.

Update folks. Don't even bother. Unless you download them through the Cerebus Network interface it appears that your wasting harddrive space. They must have a lockout requirement.

Well you cant still do that slightly since some planets will have a scanning anamoly which allows you to do a mission on the planet, but yea its basically gone.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #680 on:** January 25, 2010, 02:23:48 PM »

For those that have beat it, how was the veteran difficulty? I'm thinking about doing that on my first play through.

maxy · « **Reply #681 on:** January 25, 2010, 02:29:16 PM »

Exploration lovers should not be afraid,ME2 has like 10x ME1 exploration,only difference is that instead of barren wastelands you will be exploring beautiful alien locations,full of life.

Finished the game,Bioware bitchslaped rest of the dev pack,both artistically and technically.Technically the game is so good that it is hard to believe that Bioware made it.

Despite my hate towards EA,i have to say

EA

,they did an amazing technical job,Bioware would never do that alone without EA help.

Play it on Veteran,don't bother with normal.There are two difficulty levels above it,hardcore and insanity.

Draft · « **Reply #684 on:** January 25, 2010, 03:21:05 PM »

Amazon just shipped my CE

Fired up ME1 over the weekend and bought Pinnacle Station. My plan was to load up a save near the very end, beat Pinnacle and Bring Down the Sky in case they carry anything over to ME2, and then blaze through the ending. BUT, I guess I did a new game + and deleted all my saves that were near the end of the first playthrough :'(

Even though my Femshep is level 50+ I never beat the game with that level.

All those credits :'(

All that... other stuff :'(

brawndolicious · « **Reply #685 on:** January 25, 2010, 04:10:05 PM »

Is there any advantage to importing a level 60 character instead of a level 50?

maxy · « **Reply #686 on:** January 25, 2010, 04:18:23 PM »

I think that you get more money,resources...but don't worry about that,you will get plenty of that by playing the game

Just make sure that the save has the choices that you want.

BamYouHaveAids · « **Reply #687 on:** January 25, 2010, 04:41:36 PM »

do we still need an infiltrator to open doors and chest? i really don't want to take garrius bitch ass along with me, not with all the new party members.

maxy · « **Reply #688 on:** January 25, 2010, 05:03:48 PM »

No,you can open everything by yourself.

Your combat tactic,class and expected enemies determine who to bring along.

i.e.if you expect lot of synthetics,machines then bring someone who is good with tech,hacking,etc

stolen from GAF thread, the four after credits are the different minerals you get in the game

Quote

Importing a Level 60 character will have your character start off at Level 5 in Mass Effect 2, plus:

•   Renegade or Paragon starting at 10% (If you have 100% Renegade or Paragon in ME1)
•   Credits: 150,000
•   Palladium: 10,000
•   Iridium: 10,000

•   Platinum: 10,000
•   Element Zero: 10,000

Importing a Level 50 character will have your character start off at Level 3, plus:

•   Credits: 100,000
•   Palladium: 9,000
•   Iridium: 9,000
•   Platinum: 9,000
•   Element Zero: 9,000

I really don't like this game. I'm not exactly sure what most of you folks are so floored by, but BioWare took a very original and novel idea birthed in the first game and turned it into something very derivative and mainstream. The plot is littered with yawn-inducing sci-fi/action cliches. Maybe it picks up later on, but the locales are boring as all fuck, the characters are uninteresting, the plot doesn't so much turn as it softly curves at each event. Even worse, the gameplay and shootouts are no longer tense or exciting, but just wait-it-out cover games, with bits of pace-breaking story littered in-between the gunfire.

I'm gonna keep soldiering through, but so far; $:-\$

Dude c'mon. The combat was god awful in the first game and deathly easy. Not saying you aren't entitled to your opinion on the rest of the game. But even if you don't like the combat in this game, in no way is it suddenly a decline from some "great action" in the first title.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #699 on:** January 26, 2010, 05:43:42 AM »

the shooting in the first game was awful. truly awful. it's not great here but it's a shit-ton better.

If you import a character you can change pretty much everything about him,looks,class,etc
The only thing you can't change are your decisions in ME1.

I just picked up Dragon Age a few weeks ago and didn't get much further than the opening sequence, and I'm still not done with Bayonetta yet. But Mass Effect 2 will supersede everything. That and Halo Reach are probably the only two games I really give a fuck about this year. And I guess Bioshock 2 as well, but not nearly to the same degree.

Also my bro is playing it for the first time,he imported ME1 character and he can change difficulty on the fly.

I'm currently 11 hours in and this is one of the better games of this generation imo.
