Mass Effect 2 "Megaguide" Now Available

Hey, if you're looking for a hand with Mass Effect 2, these five dudes have your back.


I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite guide on the Citadel. 
I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite guide on the Citadel. 
I'd say that I'm currently around two-thirds of the way through Mass Effect 2, but to some extent, I'm guessing. Along the way, I've found myself wondering about the different choices I made, both here and in the first game. If you're wondering about those, or if you're looking for a hand on any of the game's missions, a team of Giant Bomb users have put together a pretty sweet guide for the game.

Lies, MasterOfPenguins_Zell, macandcheese, Llama, and WallacetheGreat are listed as its creators, and we just sort of wanted to say "hey, nice work!"

Hey, nice work!

Actually, now that I glance through it, I can see that this will be really helpful for finding those random planets that you can actually land on. I haven't run into any of those yet and I've been mining quite a bit.
 
So check out this rad Mass Effect 2 Walkthrough right neeeeeow. Oh, unless you're all worried about spoilers and stuff. It does, after all, tell you most of what's going to happen in the game. Fair warning, people.

Mass Effect 2 is a game?!  GOD DAMN SPOILERS.
 
Walkthroughs of this sort are always welcome after my first playthrough, which I've yet to start. Must. Finish. Dragon Age!

Megaguide? Why not stick with the theme and call it Giant-guide?

It's looking awesome. I haven't really looked at it, I just fast scrolled it. I heard it has spoilers. But, it will always be a working in progress. The "choice tree" must be ridiculous. I've played mass effect 3 times to completion. And I never knew that Ashley could go and kill Wrex. The ExoGeni Manager in Feros could go and mount an ad campaign to fund the colony. Dude, that's awesome!

Still missing a bunch of 'choices that affect Mass Effect 2' such as Feros and Shiala.
But a nice guide none the less. My brain > that thing though :p

EDIT: And Samara's loyalty quest can be done without any Paragon/Renegade as long as you read the memo that's behind the bed in the girls room (with the journal).
It'll give an extra when you select "Art", namely her favorite artist and his/her best work.

After just finishing my first play through, I anticipate using this on my second go around for a "cleaner" ending.

Oh, like in the Normandy crash site DLC?
 
Anyways, this guide is pretty helpful. Major spoilers are covered up.

I really want the guides section of Giant Bomb to be utilized more. Its nice to see such a  large one made for the site. Lot of tools available for people that im sure the Giant Bomb folk are trying to figure out ways to get people to use them.
