Mass Effect 2's Grunt Revealed

Oh god, does this mean you won't get Wrex as a playable character anymore? Wrex was an awesome character for so many reasons but one of the main reasons I liked him so much was that he DID NOT act like a battle crazed frog everytime he saw an enemy (for the most part anyway). I hope Bioware makes Grunt something more than just a damage dealing thickie.
 
PS: I had to post this:   
 

Looks bad ass enough to me. And i find it interesting that he has a charge attack. Looks like they might be putting more of an emphasis on classic roles for the party members like Tank, DPS, Melee DPS, Healer etc. If not i can see that charge attack being a suicide button and getting very annoying fast. No one likes when AI runs infront of you as you try to shoot stuff.

I only had one problem with the first game: the ridiculous amount of items they throw at you near the end. It was so annoying to manually delete all that crap, it was not funny anymore. 
Apart from that Mass Effect is definately in my top 5 of the games in this generation and that's why the sequel (with alot of improvements on the engine part btw) is a must-buy. 
 
Also, i liked Wrex alot, I want him more than this new guy.

Remember the Bombcast where that woman was on, and said that the characters in BioWare games were done in the vein of what nerds would think "cool" is? I think this video proves it. Wrex was a likable character, his nonchalance really complemented his war-like abilities. But when Grunt said "I don't care where I fight, as long as I get to hurt someone," I produced an expression akin to a chuckle, but more accurately akin to an eye roll.

" i like him already. I hope he kills Garrus. "

Neither Wrex nor Garrus were close to my character, so it makes no difference to me either way.  I expect most of the crew of the Normandy will be different in Mass Effect 2.

More club scenes? Heck yes.

Im not one for pre-ordering but with mass effect I think I'll go ahead and get that dragon armour as I know the game will be mine !

Exclusive pre-order items? I hate that Bullshit. Oh well. I was probably going to pre-order it anyways...

Who gives a crap about Wrex or Grunt?
 
Alien Strippers FTW! 
 
;)

haw haw haw

Eeeh, I named my male Shepard as Grunt in the first game.

He looks awesome. I love all the Krogans and this guy looks like he could approach Wrex levels of badassery.

" @crusader8463: Is this on the Xbox version? Because I heard that micromanaging your group was way harder on the x360 version of the game.  I played the PC version and when I played as a biotic/sniper, I used Wrex as a meat shield for much of the game. I would send him in first against other Krogans or those heavy duty Geths. The armor and specializations play a big part too but the possibility is there to make Wrex an unstoppable tank. "

Hey everyone, while Bioware does have some kind of preorder item, I don't believe it is the dragon armor.  I think that's supposed to come with every new version of the game, normal or collector's, kinda like the flashback map pack for Gears of War 2.

"It's a shame BioWare has jumped on the exclusive-content-for-preorders bandwagon with that dragon armor there"

I don't care all that much about the exclusive armor thingy. Will the armor be that good it will make not want to look or buy other armors? I think NOT!  While I want to pick the collectors edition I am gunning for the PS3 version because I feel Bioware will do something unique with that version as far as user crated mods. I remember Greg Zeschuk talk about how they are looking into that and if Epic has done it with the PS3 version of UT3 then there is no excuse why they should not be able to do that either. 

I'm gonna have to pick up Dragon Age now just for that armor lol

I want me some Blood Dragon Armor :)

Might be worth noting here for fans but the registry number on that ship is SR2, so thats not the Normandy.  At least not the same one.  Looks like you can loose the ship at some point during the game and not at the end.

pretty sweet opening line for us to be introduced to Grunt with

I am very excited for this game.

Too bad it probably wouldn't work if I bought Dragon Age on PC and Mass Effect 2 on 360.
 
I wish all the idle NPCs in Bioware games didn't look so dead.

looks sharp 
 
too bad its exclusive
