Mass Effect 2 Interactive Comic available for all versions of game.

It looks like Bioware will be letting all Mass Effect 2 owners take the short cut and use the interactive comic to import decisions from Mass Effect into ME2 without having to play the game. People who own the PC and Xbox versions will now be able to download the interactive comic off the Cerberus Network. LINK

It could save a lot of miles driven in the Mako for people who have already been through Mass Effect before, and just want to change their choices.

It's nice to have the option though just in case you want to go back and tweak something without having to go back and play the whole ME game over.

..

Awesome! I wanted to start another playthrough as female shepard, but I didn't like the fact that the entire story is chosen for you. I don't want to sludge my way through Mass Effect 1 before anyone asks.

Im suprised they didnt have this at launch for 360/PC users. Didnt they think some might want to go straight to ME2 without playing the first?

Anyway i probably wont download. Id rather replay ME1.

Thats cool. Still i think every ME2 fan with a PC or 360 should play the first game. One of the best RPGs this gen in my opinion.

this is appreciated to me, I played me1 on xbox, but going to play 2 and 3 on pc

So the thing that cows were proud was taken away from them? Still, I love my ME1 but it is good that pc and 360 owners have that. Miroku32

Taken away?

I dont' think anything was taken away.

Quite the opposite in fact, considering that they Bioware is giving everyone the opportunity to play the comic.....that's an addition, is it not?

I guess I can have a good laugh at what cows have to settle with. Cerberus code has offered plenty of value.

There are some questions about this that bear answering....

From what I read, the Mass Effect comic on the PS3 will be available via a password key like many of EA's other games.

So how are XBOX 360 Mass Effect 2 users gonna get this comic if they already own and perhaps traded or bought this game from Gamestop?

Is this comic only going to be available for new 2011 versions of Mass Effect 2 leaving all of the other 2010 versions requiring a $10 purchase for the comic?

I'm curious how they are going to make this happen.

EDIT IN:

Wait, did new 2010 XBOX 360 versions of Mass Effect 2 come with password keys?

If so, what in game content did those key's provide?

tat is good news indeed

All new copy's of ME2 came with a ket to access the cerberus network. It gave us seom free missions and Zaheedm etc. Nothing special,but nice additions.

This Comic will only be accessed through the Cerebus Network, so only those who purchased the game new can download it ... Unless they want to buy access to the Cerberus network for 800 points.

Options are always welcome but I played through ME1 3 or 4 times an will probably play through both ME 1 & 2 once more before ME3 arrives.

Thank you.

I understand now.

The keys were already in existence for 2010 Mass Effect 2 versions.

Calling it Cerberus is just a gimmick term for CD Key.

Got it now.

So much for the ps3 me2 version being the definitive.

Not so much a CD key as a portal for downloading DLC and getting the latest ME2 news. Although like mentioned before every new copy of ME2 gets the Cerberus Network Card with a code to access the network though ME2. It's not so much a CD key because you don't need a key to make the CD work. It's additional content.

When you start up a copy of ME2 before you go into the game on the title screen is a little laptop. It opens up and allows you access to the Cerberus Network. Basically what it's doing it checking for new DLC, and ME2 news. Similar to what you get when you start Dragon Age, when it scans for new DLC, etc.

Hopefully that cleared it up for you, and I didn't make it more confusing...

Well, it still is. Mass Effect 2 on the PS3 has the more advanced engine, and the game with all of the DLC is all on one BluRay disk.

There's no question that BluRay > DVD because BluRay's are difficult to scratch....but we'll save that for another time.

It's the definite version 'cause it came out a year later on a more reliable disc format?

I gotta say ... That's a piss poor argument you have there my friend.

Can we not let all this "definite" version nonsense go away and just enjoy Mass Effect 2 in anticipation for the final episode?

You can already do that on pc.:)

Will probably download it just to check out how well it's done. Don't think I'll be starting a Mass Effect 2 playthrough with it though.

MFDOOM1983

You can do it on 360 as well. Modding is possible on the console version.

That is great news!

[QUOTE="Ilikemyname420"][QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"]sweet, will enjoy messing with it. All those definitive version threads have blown up in some peoples faces now completely lolsdu_1111

A poorly written blog with silly reasons is why it's the definitive version?

Honestly, given the choice would you have waited for this version over the one everyone has already played to death?

Ohh thank god, as much as I love ME1 i can taker a fast trac kto starting a new ME 2 file

Oh, wow. Great news. I had imported my character from ME1 my first time around, but I started a new game in ME2 with a new character recently and the choices they made for me were not very pleasing.

[spoiler] I would never kill Wrex! [/spoiler]

.....so how is that a good article?

congrats to science, it's figured out a way to get you to read a choose your own adventure book after your testicles have dropped.

Okay,I guess,although I'd rather play through the game.

I'll re-dl ME2 from steam and try it then delete it again I suppose.
