Mass Effect 2
- Thread starter Aazealh
- Start date
Mass Effect Galaxy, the iPhone game that is a side story featuring a character from Mass Effect 2 came out today, and apparently it's pretty bad. IGN gave it a 5/10. Hopefully some kind soul will put the relevant parts of the game on YouTube so that we can see what there is to see without wasting our time and money.
On another note, there will be news concerning the second Mass Effect DLC this friday. I'm excited.

Ah and the DLC info was not released, for info. Annoying.
O yea thats true
Btw how many hours is Mass Effect? I'm 20 hours in and it seems like the story is getting pretty serious, more serious than I though considering I spent most of the time doing side quests and exploring. Also I completely agree with the music.
After Kaidan or Ashley is killed ( I chose Kaiden) and your on the ship they have this sad piano song playing that sets the mood so perfectly, I almost cried. Shorty after I was forced to choose between the two females on the ship who were interested in me and it was just so realistic and amazing.

Wow that sucks. It's so fucking short!!! Luckily the replay value is high
Still though, a game with this much content should be longer, much longer, hopefully the sequel will improve on that. Do you have this game for the console or pc Aaz? I would like to get all the achievements for this if I can.
DemonX v.2.0

When I played it last summer i beat it to 100%, and I gotta admit, I didn't play another game since because I put so much time in it. easily 60 hours... easily D:
Most of that was pretty boring though, since the sidequests were virtually identical.
My xbox360 will collect dust till mass effect 2 comes out

Well, I don't mind this at all honestly. I usually do prefer the ability to keep playing after finishing the game anyway.

It's called Bring Down The Sky and it's basically a long side-mission. It's not amazing by any means but if you love the game then you probably should get it.

Yea i'm goin to do every quest possible to make the game last, but honestly some of the side quests are lame, or just pointless waste of time. Some on the other hand really add to the whole experience. There is one about some kind of cult that set up a base on some moon way out in space and they killed the first people the council sent in to investigate. Its up to you wether or not you want to go in guns-a-blazing or settle the matter peacefully. It reminded me of the real life Jim Jones cult thing, which I'm sure was the inspiration for that mission.

60 hours? I did everything in the game (and I mean everything, even collecting minerals and whatnot) in under 40 hours. And I don't think I rushed it either. Don't mistake me, I really love Mass Effect, but for a RPG it is rather short.
By the way, some talk about the "Insanity" difficulty setting in Mass Effect 2: http://kotaku.com/5303353/mass-effect-insanity-explained-may-not-be-locked-in-me2
Interesting for the completionists or for those who like pain.

so when you were telling me how long the game takes to get 100% you included the time it takes for a second playthrough? What about a third and fourth? If you choose a new game+ can you continue to get things you missed in your first playthrough? Can you even remodel your character if lets say I wanted to play as a female when I go back?
Oburi said:
In a new game+ you start from the beginning (on Eden Prime), but your level, your equipment and your money/omnigel is carried over. The points you put into your abilities remain as they were, however you have to do it again for your sidekicks. Whenever you recruit them they automatically jump to your level, but wear their default crappy equipment (meaning you have to find their old equipment in the inventory and re-equip them).
Oburi said:
Well no, not if you replay as the same character.

I quit playing this game for about 8 months after being stuck on a certain boss at level 7. I started back into the game and left the area and have been doing nothing but side quests for about 15 hours and it's so much fun! I guess I'm just addicted to leveling up my abilities and getting better armor. I want to play until I get the Rage X armor for Wrex and Colossus X armor...looks amazing.

I only did a handful of assignments and went straight to Feros and couldn't even survive a full minute fighting Benezia. You're right I didn't even make it to 50 on my first play through but I did get to level 49. I'm at 56 right now and it's pretty hard to level up. I really liked the story and the game ending was awesome so now I'm excited about ME2.
The combat is so much better now that I'm a high level that I can't wait to fight in the new game. I would warp, lift, shoot, throw and there was so much chaos going since my abilities are so powerful. I've lifted and then tossed someone over a mountain the other day. Now I have to go play it!
March of Flames said:
Noveria you mean? Anyway, I'm surprised you managed to get to her without leveling past 7.
March of Flames said:
Yeah the amount of XP needed grows exponentially past 50. Because of that the last 2 levels or so take a while to get.
March of Flames said:
Haha yeah, and that does double if you have Liara in your team.
