Mass Effect 2 Release Date Announced

[The_ModeRazor]

That's nice.
Although I still can't see my biotic lightnings anywhere.

 

[Dadutchman]

Hmmm. Nothing but Gamestop here, and that's lame because I would much rather take the negotiating skill. Can't wait for this game tho!

 

[high_castle]

Sweet! This announcement has literally made my day. I was fearing we wouldn't be seeing ME2 until March, at the earliest. January is looking mighty close now. Too bad you can't get Inferno armor at GameStop, though. I just snagged a job there, and getting it at a discount would've been nice, but I tend to use Charm/Intimidate rather than play as a shoot-em-up. Still, super excited. Pre-order here I come!

 

[Lord Beautiful]

I've never been so tempted to pre-order a game. I think I'll pre-order it from GameStop when I get the money, because the Terminus Armor, quite frankly, sounds awesome.

 

[008Zulu_v1legacy]

Ironman Ironman, he can do what an iron can!

I bet the CE will be about $160

 

[TheFacelessOne]

Hmmmmm...Terminus, or Inferno...

I think I'll take Terminus. But the concept art, it looks awesome.

But am I the only who thinks the Inferno armor looks like an Iron Man armor, expect for it's restricted to the ground?

 

[Plinglebob]

At least now I have a date to aim for with my "Complete Every Side-quest" playthrough. I'm not going to pre-order till we get word on possible Collectors Edition's

 

[Arbitrary Cidin]

I've never pre-ordered a game before, and even as good as Mass Effect 2 will likely be, that's not going to change.

 

[Randomeaninglessword]

I feel torn, I have money for MW 2, but I also want to pre-order this... Argh...

 

[Mrsoupcup]

OMG THATS MY BIRTH DAY!!!!!

 

[Arkhangelsk]

I'm getting the feeling that I should play the first Mass Effect.

 

[gigastrike]

That's a lot sooner than I thought...and I still have characters that I want to make. I'd better get busy.

 

[Bat Vader]

Better than having to wait till November 2010.

Or Spring 2010, ALPHA PROTOCOL.
Not that I'm naming any names, ALPHA PROTOCOL.

That does make me a bit mad with what happened to it. Was there ever a reason for the push back?

 

[hypothetical fact]

Is anyone else put off by these gimicks? They always make the beginning of the game easy and become pointless late game or are just overpowered the whole way through so you never get to try a different armour.

God hates happy people.
And deadlines.

Well, if they had to push it back to Spring of 2010 it must mean that they are going to make it better. Or mess it up. One of the two.

When I played the first one, I stuck it out in the beginning armor just because it was black.

...Not sure what that has to do with anything.

Well, when Obsidian made KotOR II, the game got fucked because it was released way too early at the behest of LucasArts.
There are only a few reasons the game would be pushed back.

*It was originally slated to be released before it was properly finished.
*Something horrible happened and needed to be fixed.
*Cthulhu ate the entire department.
*They wanted to add more content.
*They wanted to make it into a bland, generic FPS.

Cthulhu seems like the most reasonable and rational decision. Only a demon could stop Obsidian from making a good game.
