So it seems you cannot copy ME2 saves off of the storage device they were born on. So I have to have both XBoxes hooked up on the new TV to play the DLC, or I have to start a new game on the slim.

Thankfully I can copy my ME1 character export. So I guess I will replay ME2 in its entirety. On Insanity this time.

I was a Vanguard the first time around. Should I do Infiltrator this time?

Those are the only 2 classes that matter, so yeah.

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #2 on:** December 28, 2010, 08:04:55 PM »

I played Vanguard first 2 times, now doing Infiltrator (as awesome fembitch Shepherd, total Renegade). It's a lot of fun to sneak around opponents and set off explosives on their ass while invisible.

Yeah, Infiltrator is the best class imo on Insanity.

That's terrible; you can get a brand new copy of the game that comes with a free Cerberus Network DLC code for less than $15.

I forgot how to play this game. I just did Kasumi's missions and got the new shotgun, but where the hell is it? How do I equip it on my characters?

demi · « **Reply #10 on:** December 29, 2010, 02:25:25 PM »

Should be at the console next to Mordin, or in Jacob's quarters.

You get the chance to equip weapons at the start of each "mission".

iconoclast · « **Reply #12 on:** December 29, 2010, 02:33:29 PM »

Yeah, I figured it out. I thought the weapon in her DLC pack was a shotgun, but turns out it's an SMG and I already had it equipped.

Didn't even notice a difference between it and the one I was previously using. Oh well, off to do Overlord next.

awesome! i was under the impression that only the first print of the game had the codes. i'll just go pick up a new copy, get the code, then flip it online.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #14 on:** December 29, 2010, 05:56:13 PM »

so I snagged all the DLC but a friend has my copy of Mass Effect 2 so I'll have to wait until the new year to play it.

I dont have the insanity achievement, nor the level 30 one so heres my plan:

I hear New Game+ on insanity is really hard, so I'll import my level 60 ME1 guy, put the the difficulty on insanity, and do EVERYTHING as an infiltrator, getting all the cheevs along the way. Can't wait

iconoclast · « **Reply #15 on:** December 29, 2010, 10:12:28 PM »

Finished all the DLC.

Shadow Broker - Great. It's just as good as, if not better, than anything in the core game. This really should have been included on the disc.
Kasumi - Pretty good. She has one of the better loyalty missions, from what I remember anyway.
Overlord - Meh. Pretty repetitive and not particularly interesting.

Yeah, it really should have been. The Liara storyline in the core game just ended suddenly and it felt like they either didn't finish it or cut something out to hold back for later.

Let's be honest here. In the modern age of DLC they probably did just that exact thing.

I was very negative on this game when I first played it, but I am warming up to it. The combat is still pretty janky, but an infiltrator on insanity is alot of fun. Too bad the DLC wasn't uber cheap on the PC a few days ago. :'(

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #19 on:** December 29, 2010, 11:19:44 PM »

IMO Overlord is the best piece of DLC for ME2. Thought the vehicle stuff was fun and the story was really interesting. especially loved the finale with the freak-out matrixy stuff.

Continuing my Insanity/Infiltrator run

I've gotten Mordin and Garrus and done Kasumi's loyalty mission. I'm glad I paid like $2 for that. $7 is robbery.

Are there any mid game saves or saves after the main content is done? I finished the game with all the playable characters intact but most of my crew died. I don't wanna play the DLC until I've gotten the "best" ending.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #31 on:** January 07, 2011, 02:11:02 PM »

Nerding out here for a sec. Please excuse me.

I finished the Mass Effect Retribution novel recently. And its really weird how different the illusive man from the books is from the illusive man in the game.

http://www.giantbomb.com/news/?page=3

I totally get why they would give him this award. In the game he comes off like a guy in a tough spot but doing the right thing and kind of cool. In the books he is like an evil fanatical sort of petty asshole. The difference is really striking.

Ending nerd out.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #32 on:** January 07, 2011, 02:12:56 PM »

ME2 saves are locked?!

fuck. I could've sworn I saved mine to a USB drive and just put it on my new 360. I guess I'll find out tonight.

I just got all the current DLC, so I'm do for a replay. Can't wait, loved it the first time around.
