Mass Effect 2
Game » consists of 21 releases. Released Jan 26, 2010
After a violent death by an unknown force and a timely reanimation by the human supremacist organization Cerberus, Commander Shepard must assemble a new squad in the seedier side of the galaxy for a suicide mission in the second installment of the "Mass Effect" trilogy.
anyone still playing me2?
Yea I'm on my 3rd playthrough (Renegade/Insanity Run). The update for the mineral scanning has really made me consider going for a few more playthroughs just to play around with the other classes because I've only used Soldier and Infiltrator so far. Still a hell of a lot of fun.
nice, im playing as an adept lady shepard, ive had a thing for tali since the first game, whats under that suit???
I just started on my second playthrough on insanity the other day. Its still fun I just don't want to listen to dialouge I've heard a million times.
i'm taking my time with my first playthrough.
some parts of it are better, but i find the story less compelling than the original's. i feel like cerberus is keeping a lot hidden from shepard and the threat is much less urgent...so i'm not as excited to advance the story.
the combat is getting repetitive for me, too. not boring, but repetitive. it feels like a schizophrenic half-third-person-shooter, half-RPG rather than a seamless fusion of both and the shooting sequences aren't especially varied, imo.
all that said, i think it's excellent. it's just not perfect.
When confronted with the prospect of having to scan even ONE MORE PLANET... Let's just say that I might try a second play-through after that patch is out.
Not right now. S-Ranked Mass Effect 2 a while ago, of course that has been broken thanks to the Kasumi DLC.
I've heard a few more big paid DLC are in future works, what I'll probably do is buy them all and then play them. Bioware has been pretty good with releasing DLC so far it seems, I would like them to ratchet up the amount because I can see longevity with Mass Effect that can be easily exploited. Fallout 3 was a game I played for practically a year, solely because of DLC, I would like to see the same style of commitment and consistent releases.
I've completed it once (every side quest done, at least half the planets scanned, all planets visited - 40 hour playthrough), sometime I'm going to go back and play through it again.
" I am about halfway done with my second playthrough on insanity with the vanguard class. "Hell Yeah, Vanguard is the best class to play. Although it got super challenging for me at some parts on Insanity, i'm glad i chose Vanguard.
" since the update i've been thinking about it. "The update is already out!? How is the planet scanning now?
I still have to go back and play that free DLC I downloaded about a month ago. Does anyone know if I can play the Zaed loyalty missions in the end game or do I need to restart and make a new game.
Also do people think the DLC missions will have any importance going forward to ME3? Grunt died during the final mission on my ME2 playthrough so I intended to go back and save him before ME3. I'm not really sure if I should do that before the DLC stuff to make sure the DLC stuff is on my save file going forward or just play through the DLC on a separate save and not have that carry through to the next game.

I never got the complaints about planet scanning. Is it really slow on the 360 or something? On the PC it was a little irritating having to lift the mouse a few times to get around a planet but overall it wasn't much of a chore.
It took like 15 - 20 seconds (maybe more like 30 or 40, been awhile but it took a long time) to make one pass around the middle of the planet. It got really old after a bit."
