Just Finished MASS EFFECT 2 wow (spoilers)

Anyone else hyped for the 3rd one? I mean this one was great and epic. I love how they made it more actiony oriented, altho it doesnt feel much as a rpg but still its a great game, loved sherperd and the crew, i was actually kind mad when they started dying near the end ;(

What are your thoughts about it? Did you like it?

I only lost Thane, but I guess he dies like a hero :P he didn't have much left anyway. It was overall better than ME 1, diversity and all but there were more impressive moments in ME 1, the ending left me "@_@ 2, where is two, I need two, now, gif two, I want it" but 2 had a great ending too, I want 3 but not as much as I was expecting 2 :P.DanielDust

They're dying too If you haven't complete the loyalty mission I think :P

On my 1st playthrough I lost Miranda,Garrus,Thane(My favs) =\

And I think no one is hyped about ME3 mainly because nothing about it has been shown yet.

Remember ME2, when people saw the teaser they literally fliped lol

@BDK-Soft

Why makes you say that?

You'll get to import your save games you know :roll:

Same as you did(IF you did) from ME1 to ME2.

Yea, lost Legion and Thane. Loved the game as well. Definitely can't wait to see where the story goes.

Lost no one. I have to say that Mass Effect 2 was better than the first in my opnion. Can't wait for the third one!

I doubt anything major will happen, Cerberus will probably be like the council, nothing major happens if you save them you just get your useless specter status.DanielDust

I will shove this here since I can't be bothered to start a new topic on it. There is no need to wait till ME 3 to get excited ;) . Bioware are still releasing add on DLC for ME 2 the last one being "overlord" which wasn't too bad. However we are in for a real treat soon, there is new DLC on the horizon called "Lair of the Shadow Broker" and it features Liara in it.

My first play-through I randomly lost Mordin for no explicable reason. That was not cool!

I checked some forums later and apparently one of the best ways to avoid his random death is to just include him in your squad. Man, after his loyalty mission he ended up as one of my favorites, too.

But yes, TC, I'm definitely excited for the next one.

Thank goodness I lost Miranda.. She really pissed me off towards the end of the game. I'm playing through ME1 again so I can build an awesome character import to ME2 and then play again. Hopefully I can save everyone next time.

What I found kind of neat is that everyone can potentially die...including Shepard! All that's left is Joker at the end, lol. Wonder how that imported save file would work in the third one?

My first time through I lost Grunt, Jack and Mordin. Mordin was the only one I was seriously disappointed about, and Grunt was missed as well. But I was glad jack died, and purposely tried to have her killed.

It doesn't work. Shepard has to survive for it to be applicable for ME 3.

He was also dead at the begining of ME2, but that didn't stop him :P

If all your squadmates die, you die aswell and as said above - only Joker's left at the end.

I wish I would have lost Miranda. I couldn't stand her. I lost Tali and Legion, which really sucked. The game was awesome, though.

Haha, valid point. However; Bioware said that Shepard needs to survive in order for the save to work with ME 3.

Well I still think there's gonna be something interesting if you import a dead Shepard :P

If everyone dies at the end of ME 2 than in ME 3 Cerberus will build the ultimate human super soldier. Joker! They will cure his disease and he will be the main character in it. (Just speculating of course)

ME trilogy is so far my favourite RPG series, or shooter with RPG elements, or whatever you want to call it. And I have a feeling that BioWare is going to make the finale grand! There is no way they gonna fail at it, they've built everything into the universe from ME 1 that it is necessary to make ME 3 even greater than ME 1 and 2.

Hopefully they will announce it at least this year. :)

Some minor and major spoilers related to ME 1 and 2. Since it's a ME 2 thread I was thinking that maybe someone hasn't played ME 1 yet. Quite impossible, I know, but you never know :P.

SPOILER

Of course it will influence the story's development, it's gonna have major effect if we analyze the choices players can make a little more deeper.

Let's say Grunt dies on the end of the mission. Now he is about to become the ultimate krogan leader, the purest of them all who should "relaunch" the species as a whole. They were pretty impressed by the way Grunt fought in the Right of Passage, so if he dies Shepard could loose an incredibly powerful ally in the fight against the reapers.

Same thing can be said about the quarians. Tali was suggested as a councilor in the Migrant Fleet. If she dies, though Shepard could loose the influence of the Fleet and yet another powerful ally.

And the same goes with the rest of the characters as well. Samara, Legion (millions of geth? yay), Thane ( a legion of assassins like him trained by the hanar? Yes please), Miranda, Jack, Mordin (remember that you could save incredibly confidential data about the genophage with him? A cure perhaps? He may be related to the Krogans).

So, in conclusion all the changes Shepard made throughout ME 2 and ME 1 as well (Saving the Rachni queen) can have MAJOR effects in ME 3. These effects were not as visible in ME 2 as they can be in ME 3. It all depends on BioWare, they have everything, they just need to implement it in the game. :D

END OF SPOILER

Just my 2 cents. ;)

Edit: Duh GS glitched can't introduce spoiler alert. :(

I lost Thane and the crew, but I felt bad about that so I went back and made sure they lived.

I lost Legion, and I was glad. I love all the other characters.

I lost nobody :D!, the ending is awesomeguildclaws

Solid_Tango

That's probably because you sided with Jack when they argued :P

However, if you have high enough paragon/renegade you can keep them both loyal.

Really love the ending and thankfully nobody in my team died on my first playthrough. What I love about ME2 is that it built so much anticipation and hype to the 3rd final installment.

[QUOTE="guildclaws"]I lost nobody :D!, the ending is awesomeSolid_Tango

You need to get all the ship upgrades, then do all the loyalty missions to get them all to be loyal.

Then there's the ammount of upgrades you gave your weapons and whatnot.

If you get everyones loyalty and get all the upgrades for the Normandy you should have everyone survive, as long as you dont do something silly like send Grunt down the vent :P. First time I lost Jack and Legion :P. Cant wait for the third!

I also lost nobody. As long as you take the time to get everyones loyalty and all of the ship upgrades you'll be fine.

Yes this game was awesome.

Its defiantly between Mass Effect2 and Starcraft2 for my personal Game Of The Year (so far at least).

This year looks to have a much better GOTY at gamespot then last years Demon Souls which i found very underwhelming.

Cant wait for Mass Effect3!!!!!!!!!!!!

I lost one person and thats it at the end :)

Anyone else hyped for the 3rd one? I mean this one was great and epic. I love how they made it more actiony oriented, altho it doesnt feel much as a rpg but still its a great game, loved sherperd and the crew, i was actually kind mad when they started dying near the end ;(

What are your thoughts about it? Did you like it?

Solid_Tango

I didn't lose anyone in the end :D
But on subject, I really wish they'd kept the original s t y l e (censor), it doesn't feel like an rpg and I want them to go back to the original mechanics. Besides the actual combat, which is better in ME2.

I'd like to see a combo of both games in the third. I didn't lose anybody either.

I'd like to know what it is about that word that causes the censor to kick in.I tried to use it the other day and it blanked it out. WTF?

I lost nobody :D!, the ending is awesomeguildclaws

Finally, someone else who managed to keep everyone alive! I thought my game must've been bugged after everyone survived for me :P

On my first playthrough I lost Legion, Thane, Zaeed, Jack, Tali and Jacob. Then I did a second playthrough and made sure everyone surived

Get the updates Garrus, Tali and Jacob recommends (New guns, better kinetic barriers and enhanced ship armor) make sure everyone is loyal, Tali or Legion needs to go through the vents, Miranda or Jacob or Garrus needs to lead the fire squad, Samara or Jack with LS5 implants needs to hold the biotic barrier, Mordin needs to escort the crew back to the ship, again Miranda or Jacob or Garrus needs to lead the fire squad. It doesn't really matter who you bring to finish off the boss.

Then your people are wussies! They do not know the meaning of sacrifice!
