I haven't played M E2 since summer and after hearing about new DLC coming I decided to start up ME2 again. Then I remembered I recently formatted my HDD and unfortunately both my ME1 and ME2 saves are now gone. I've played ME1 to completion a ton of times, 23 time, and don't really wanna play it anymore(then again I do, Mass Effect 3). Should I just wait for Genesis or play ME1 all over again 5 more times.
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.
ME1 or Genesis?
You could probably finish an easy run of ME1 pretty quick (even with 100%), but if all you want is the major story points to carry over the comic thingy on PS3 would be fine. I mean it's not like playing again on PC/360 will matter if you are getting the PS3 version anyways. That said, if you already have both on one system you could save yourself the money and just work on it slowly over this year to rebuild your Shepard, since ME3 is all the way in fall 2011.
" @Chris2KLee: Genesis for 360. "Ah, that's right. Keep forgetting that's coming out on 360 to. I don't know, if you're really burnt out on it, I'd say just skip ME1, the 6 big choices they offer are probably ones you really care about anyways. That said, if you played it here and there from here to the release of ME3, I'm sure you could get through ME1 & 2 in time.
Oh if you have the option I say buy the PC versions, there are a whole bunch of Mass Effect saves on http://www.masseffectsaves.com/
Apparently all of the important things are going to be in genesis so it will probably save you time. Also I haven't played ME1 in a long time but I am willing to be it would be really hard to go back after playing 2
If you're so smart that you format your HDD without backing up your saves then you should play it again as a punishment. :P
(Not saying ME1 is a punishment, just saying that playing it for a 24th time probably is)
