ME2 is garbage on the 2nd playthrough...

I finished Mass Effect 2 just a little over a week after it came out, i got all the upgrades for every weapon and my ship, not to mention all the Shepard upgrades.. so i go to start my second playthrough and I'm now 2 hours in and it sucks! All the upgrades i bought are gone, I don't want to mine dozens and dozens of planets all over again to get back my upgrades! I didn't really like how my first playthrough ended so i was hoping i could change that with the second.. First of all the lack of armor and weapons was bad enough the first playthrough, but now none of my upgrades carried over! what the hell!

Is there a point where you get all your upgrades back or some better weapons the 2nd time around? or am i stuck with the same 10 or so boring weapons (not including the heavy weapons of which only 2 are really useful)

i know what you mean. i got all the upgrades so i was dissapointed when i started my second playthrou n found out i just kept my armor upgrades. but hey at least u keep all ur weapons.

You should start with like 50k of every mineral which is alot.

Being mad that you don't have all the resources is like if you were to finish a jar of peanutbutter then put the empty jar back and then get nerd rage over the jar not being filled up again. The game isnt goingt o give you everything. I cant beleive some people can be so lazy.tehHaste

[QUOTE="PoisoN_Facecam0"][QUOTE="IamnotBiased"] Maybe i don't want to put another 65 hours into my second playthrough, i was hoping to just enjoy the story and gameplay and not worry about the GD resources and credits!Hakud0ushi

its not like you have to keep scanning for hours and hours and hours he makes it sound like its killing him. Yeah the scanning isnt really that great and it can be tedious but honestly it only takes a few minutes to do it on planets marked rich resources.

[QUOTE="Hakud0ushi"][QUOTE="PoisoN_Facecam0"] 65 hours? Come on, i did every quest/upgrade and finished with 39 hours. I know what you ment, but in the end i don't think it's somethin to be annoyed about it.PoisoN_Facecam0

all your renegade points dont carry over simply for that fact taht you were out back together, it gives players the choice to either continue being renegade or continue being paragon. Depending on the prigin of your character you actually gain more paragon or more renegade dependin on your choices. people have to complain complain about everything. Honestly i liked that they reset my paragon points, i got to play as renegade.

[QUOTE="PoisoN_Facecam0"][QUOTE="Hakud0ushi"] I experimented a lot, i talked to everybody.. i mined almost every planet looking for anomalies, I put alot of work into my 1st playthrough hoping it would carry over to my 2nd ( i was lvl 28 at the end of my first playthrough) just like Mass Effect 1.. You don't get any real reward for playing through a second time [QUOTE="tehHaste"]Being mad that you don't have all the resources is like if you were to finish a jar of peanutbutter then put the empty jar back and then get nerd rage over the jar not being filled up again.

Mining those planets is about the worst mini game ive ever played in a game.

I was actually going to make a thread asking which game should I get first...Splinter Cell or Mass Effect 2! lol...I want both, but because of time and priority's I can only get one of those games for now(thanks Afro) I do agree that if you put in the time to get the weapons/rewards...they should carry over.It has nothing to do with being lazy because some people have other obligations that won't allow them to pour repeated hours into a video game.

[QUOTE="PoisoN_Facecam0"] Well all my stuff from my first playthrough on Mass Effect 1 caried over to my second playthrough, i thought ME2 would be the same.. hell even all my renegade and paragon points disappeared!, its not lazy to expect a proper New Game+ from an RPG! the point is i already got everythign in my first playthough and its not like i'm some kid who has an infinite amount of time to play games... i'm lucky if i get 10 hours in during the week... I don't want to waste my time grinding all over again...PoisoN_Facecam0

it was garbage in the 1st playthrough

Im on my 3rd playthrough and still love it just as much as the first time i played it . only problem is mining the planets but hell you only gotta scan like 3 planets at a time which isnt so bad and i only mine the ones that are rich with minerals .
