Ask Me Anything: Mass Effect 2: Arrival

Hmm, Alex sounds weird in this video. Still I dig the surprise content drop guys! good luck with the rest of Mass Alex

Currently playing through this on Insanity and it is crazy seeing enemies drop in this video in one to two shots.

Hackett was all up in ME 1, also all the classes can eventually get the assault rifle.

I find it so annoying whenever anyone on Giant Bomb says 'anyone with any sense plays as the soldier' 
I'm playing soldier at the moment and it's great but it's nowhere near as fun as playing Adept or Sentinel. 

" ugh... Brad with his plain jane vanilla default male Shepard paragon goody two shoes soldier.  Shepard is a badass biotic using chick.  Brad's Shepard is INCORRECT.  "

18:45 to 19:10 part is by far the best of the video.

Seeing so much undying support for female Shep over the stock male avatar #1 makes me smile.

Oh, didn't notice that you were back up, you sneaky video you.

You had me at  Lance Henriksen

Mass Effect:  It's like a rim job.

" How spoiler-y is the video? I managed to keep a media blackout on ME2 and all of its DLC. I plan to do the same on this as well as ME3... but I also want to watch the video =( "

is that Aveline? 

Time to buy all the DLC and return to Mass Effect 2 and start up that renegade run I meant to have.

@Brad: You're so silly! It was the same voice for Hackett in Mass Effect 1, and he had a lot of dialog too. 

im so pumped for this DLC and watching this quicklook made me buy that damn weapon pack, i really want that pistol.

It's about time for Bioware to finally announce the GOTY edition for the Xbox 360 for release during the spring/summer.

omg, bioware please oh god please start doing this. Brad said in the video depending on when you do the dlc things get affected by that within it. if it works how i think it does that would be genius to implement in ME3. like lets say you have a mission but you skip it to do a side mission, well because you did that side mission, something happens in the main mission or vise versa.

I have a sneaking suspicion that playing this DLC will remind me how awesome Mass Effect is and I will have to play through both games again.

That ending... 
 
I've got to have this NOW!!!

I can't wait for this

Looking forward to playing this before watching the AMA. Can't get spoiled now.

Hackett sounds like a punk bitch compared to how he sounded in ME1.
Also, what the hell guys. He was in ME1! Some fans.

Must play more Mass Effect 2!

" BRAD. Please read.   Hackett has been in Mass Effect 1 and 2, but not seen in person ever. He gives you several missions and you hear his voice, but you never see him. This is the first time doing so. "  

BRAD. Please read.

Thanks. Also, I feel like my first Sheperd fits the voice far better than the stock guy. The stock dude looks like Michael from Prison Break.

Its the PS3 version. "

As much as I want to, I refuse to watch this.  I must use willpower...

" What happens if you just stand there and let the clock tick down?  "

YANOSH!!! Oh, wait...never mind.

" Vinny: Is this a rim job? Brad <deadpan>: Yeah, you just clean around the edges.  Love you guys. "

Batarians ain't people? God damn racists!!

Ok, now im pumped.

Definitely gonna get this when it comes out.  I may also start my Insane playthrough now as well.

Picking this up day 1. I usually don't buy DLC weapons but that shotgun and pistol make it pretty tempting.

That ending was messed up. I'm glad this is only a few days away.

I probably have to play the DLC for Mass Effect 2 at some point.

Sorry guys, it's been way too long since Mass Effect 1. :(

" Admiral Hakett was TOTALLY in Mass Effect 1 and 2.    Sooooooooooo  You all wrong. Except Vinny. "

" Wrex? "

Lance Henriksen was in Alien Brad? 
Son, I am dissapoint.

Is it Tuesday yet?

Adding another level with the rain effect. I approve of this DLC.

Brad spent 3-4h on overlord O_o I spent about 1½-2h and got all the achievements. 
 
And I disagree with him that playing default Shepard makes watching trailers better. I think it's better to play your own Shepard because then it feels like it's your story. If you play default character it feels strange when someone else is playing the same character as well and it dimishes your experience IMO as it feels less unique. My Shepard is my own (and people complaining that you can't make a Shepard that looks as good as default just don't spend enough time in the character creator, although I admit that of my dozen Shepards only one or two have turned out great and believable as real people). 
 
I hope they won't mess up ME3 like they sort of did with DA2. Even though I still think DA2 was great, it wasn't as amazing as I had hoped (but surely better than I had feared).
