Xbox360 Mass Effect 2

Im still not getting why it needed a disc 2 so soon in the game, ive tried to explore everything and do all the sidequests prior to having t proceed with the storylines, i hope the game is much longer than the first, thats all im worried about lol.

Just completed my first loyalty missions (Miranda) and completed Illium, this game is amazing.
 
iirc Bioware set it up so you need to switch to the 2nd disk early, then at a later point, switch *back* to the 1st for the rest.

I think.
 
took me quite a while to do everything. and im not certain i did everything, maybe 95%. didnt get a romance option, though there is plenty.

think 1 playthrew i got 50 hours in, thats prety damn remarkable. partially due to i disabled subtitles cuz i was still in the habit of spamming spacebar from me1 just to make a import file. wanted to be immersed in the storyline and voice acting, glad i did.
 
Romancing Tali was a pretty cool option, but an incredibly huge let down.

Spoiler:
We want to see her face, Bioware. One of her reasons for pursuing Shepard is because she wants him to see her face. So why the fuck don't we get to see her face once the mask is removed?

At least her romance plot seems like genuine romance, as opposed to Jack's "Hey, let's fuck." And Miranda's "Sup, I'm hot for you and don't know why *chiclet smile*" Getting to go to the Migrant Fleet was pretty rad too, since Tali was literally the only Quarian in ME1. Nice to see the Terminus System populated with them.

Also, it was quite nice to see Garrus become a badass. I've gotta say, aside from Jacob, all the characters are an improvement over ME1s cast. Jacob just lacks.. personality. He's the straight man. Nobody likes the straight man. Legion was just a fucking awesome decision to put in and he really synergizes with Tali pretty well. Attack Combat Drone and Explosive Combat Drone work fucking amazing together. Plus you can get two hacked AIs even though thats really only situational.

Vanguard is also incredibly broken with Heavy Charge, and Improved Cryo Rounds/The Avalanche. Damn near instantly kills targets that just have Health remaining. Though really, nothing is as broken as Push and Pull comboing.

I thought Vanguard was broke in the first game as well. It's an unstoppable class. Shotgun with Incendiary Rounds maxed, lift, throw, warp...medium armor...It's by far the most damaging, most versatile class. In ME2, it's no different. IMO it's the most fun as well.
 
>_> Man you guys play a lot. I've been taking my time getting things done, trying to upgrade etc. The faster mineral scan is nice to have.

Shotguns were pretty obviously meant to use HE Rounds in ME1. +500% damage and +500% weapon force means fire from the hip and ANNIHILATE groups of enemies in one shot. If they didn't die from the shot, they'd die from the impact damage from being blown backwards incredibly hard. Who cares if it auto-overheats the weapon, nothings alive anymore.
 
I'm pissed off that I still haven't gotten the option to sleep with miranda, and I've been seriously trying to hit that. There was the scene right after finishing her personal story that I thought we might finally get to it, but she just brushed my arm. Tease.

wishful concept, if they would ever patch the overheat bug.

Made the saren V2 battle painful. my latest attempt, his damn lazer overheated and locked my pistol, shotgun and assualt rifle. No gernades. glad someone on my team had singularity so i can hit him with a unleveled sniper round every minute.

Is it just me, or does that mass kidnapping near the end happen out of nowhere? I'm trying to get in bed with kelly and because of this stupid kidnapping I can't finish any additional side missions which happen to be several loyalty missions >.<

You should still be able to complete side missions, just tell Joker you're not ready to go yet.
 
The thing is tho...I'm trying to bed Kelly and if I don't go right away bad things happen to her

The scanner moves considerably faster so it's not as painfully slow.
 
Maybe i havent gotten that yet because i think its terribly slow still, who gives that to you?
 
Mirandaaaaaaa. Talk to her like once, then come back after a mission and talk again. Investigate option, and it should be the middle option called Upgrades.
 
Please tell me there is an upgrade somewhere to increase the number of probes you can launch. I end up having to CONSTANTLY waste fuel and time to buy more probes.
 
I haven't come across one yet, but I'm sure there's someone further into the game that can tell you for sure. I usually only use about 6-10 probes max on a planet, and that's if it's rich.

Thane gives you an upgrade that doubles the capacity of probes you carry. Samara will also give you 50% more fuel capacity.
