Mass Effect 2 In The Works

I played the first and enjoyed it more every time I replayed it, I just hope that the game wont find a way to screw you over if you don't choose to import you old character.
I didn't get that mainly because I'm British, and the idea of only Americans and one Indian-Asian man being aloud into space sickens me slightly.Kukul said:I think the ending was quite decent. At least if you've chosen to help humans. Seeing humanity (and Shepherd) tryumph over those puny aliens from the council had this nationalistic appealParallel Streaks said:
Also Shepherd is straight, because gays are not allowed into the military
And gays may not be allowed, but those lesbians sure are commonplace. It makes me sad when I think of all the controversy that's caused by allowing a gay relationship, but add a Lesbian scene and all of those fug-nuggins over at FOX are eerily quiet on the issue.
I was disappointed that you couldn't have (human to human) lesbian or homosexual characters in that game, its the future, organised religion is less widespread and political views are quite liberal.Parallel Streaks said:
Had Captain Jack Harkness been on the ship he'd have slept with Liara, Ashley, Kaidan, Joker, the lady doctor, the XO, all of the navigational and engineering staff, the marines and Wrex...
Huzzah, another Mako supporter! The Mako seems to sit alongside the Xen levels in Half-Life in my list of "things in games I like but not many others seem to". There was something satisfying about flooring the gas (or whatever fuel the Mako uses), slamming it into a Geth Collossus and taking it halfway across the planetGyroCaptain said:
Things I would like to see in ME 2, besides a little more variety in the side quests and the nonstory environments, are mostly things I imagine they would include at some point anyway. I'd be looking forward to a visit to the Quarian fleet and hopefully Earth as well, or least part of it, as I don't really expect Bioware to create the entire planet and it's countless billion inhabitants.
One thing I felt was missing, especially for a game that involved space travel, was the sense that you were actually travelling the huge distances between star systems. No drastic change to the format would be needed but something that gives a bit more of a sense of scale than selecting a location and seeing a short clip of the Normandy heading into one of the Mass Relays.
Other than that (and mainly because it's late and I'm tired) I expect more of the same, only better. Something I'm sure Bioware will be able to deliver.
As for the jellyman, I think you should pick up Mass Effect, but don't expect, giving your other choices, don't go in looking for something like Gears of War or even Half-Life. There's a lot more talking, for starters, and pasuing the games mid combat to dole out commands. A lot like the Fallout 3 V.A.T.S system, but with more commands available
.
as long as every damn planet i go to in mass effect 2 dosent have the same damn worm thingy that annoys the heck outta me whilst im exploring them im sold (frickin hate the lazyness of using the same damn monster as a way to limit your travel) they can however include as many funky blue monkey things as they like
I just pray that they make the maco better and when you land on planets, that everything isnt the same
That, of course, was a step back from Jade Empire, where you could have steamy man-love with Sky.Parallel Streaks said:
I was at gamestop the other day (buying Mass Effect, $15 used) and one of the clerks brought up an excellent point that you shoulde have the option to play as a different race...he said he wanted to be a Vollus, I myself would like to be a Turian, maybe it'd deviate from the story too much, but I think it'd be a great feature.
As for the MAKO, I love the damn MAKO and I lurv exploring the galaxy, just...so much fun! Words can't describe how incredible it is to drive around on a planet bathed in blue starlight and find a massive, and I mean massive, blue roiling star on the horizon, that moment took my breath away!

One final point about character customization, you should have the option to make your helmet closed OR open faced, it just...bugged me that I had to look like some reject from Starship Troopers.

Oh hell yes. I can't wait. Hope it lives up to the original. I heard that our save files from the first game will impact how the second one is played. To what extent I wonder...
Damnit I want to play this game... (the original).
Unfortunately I'm waiting until my final exams are over (may) and for it to appear on Steam in the UK so I can avoid the DRM.. (DAMN YOU EA!)
