Mass Effect 2

i looked but didn't see a thread about this yet. anybody else playin it? any thoughts or hints or secrets you wanna share?

 

Not playing yet, but I will be come May when I get back from winter working on a boat...

 

a couple friends I see playin it on xbox live now... They quit playing mw2 over this so it must be pretty good! I liked the first one...

 

i never played the live stuff. i loved the first one and this one is actually way more badass. its one of those games like final fantasy where you can tell htey put a ton of work into it.

 

while i am still technically employed at EA (until the end of feb), anyone in so cal can stop by the studio with me and buy mass effect 2 on the PC for $10 (consoles are $20).

 

this is the second time you've made this offer and this is the second time i wish i lived in Cali. have you played this yet?

hey, go apply at bioware and get to work on bioshock 3. those games kick so much ass it makes my balls hurt

 

ya... bioshock kicks ass.

i just started playing mass effect 2 so i dont have much of an opinion on it yet.

 

i played the first bioshock and it scared/creeped the shit out of me. the second one came out the day i went to go pick up ME2 and i had a really hard time not getting it. but i only need one new game at a time, and i'd rather wait until i get some more "happy plant" before i get bioshock. i'm like to be scared and i'm very easily scared when i have "happy plant". i love games like that that have a rich story and is not just a bunch of killing

 

Can you ship? lol

 

I've been thinking about renting it. Im hung on left 4 dead 2 right now, online play is so much fun

 

hah!

EA is really wierd about their employees "reselling" games from the company store. EA tracks who buys what and how many copies of each title. if they see one employee buying lots of the same title, they get suspicious. they have fired and prosecuted others before.

but if other people in so cal picked up a few copies and then shipped one to another TW member, then there would be no implication to me..... errr.. but you didnt hear than from me

 

if you rent it you need to get it from some place that doesn't charge late fees (blockbuster does now btw) cause its gonna take a long time to beat. most games take 20 to 30 hours but this could easily take 100 or more, probably more. left 4 dead looked badass but my buddy rented it and said you have to have an online account to play it. i dont do online gaming

 

I've got ME2 and BS2 for the PC out on the FedEx truck for delivery as I type this. Don't expect I'll be seeing much daylight this weekend.

 

oh damn, thats a long time for one game. Kinda like fallout 3 and oblivion, I played those games for months!

l4d has single player mode but its not really worth buying unless your on live.

 

ya... i dont know how you could rent a game that requires online authentication play. once that copy of the game has been associated with a specific personal account, i dont see how that can be transfered to another user.

 

yeah its just like fallout 3. a never ending map with almost tons and tons of stuff to do. i never really got into final fantasy but i did like them because i felt like i got my moneys worth wehn i could play for 100+ before i beat it. i hate short games, i feel ripped off.

 

I get 4 rentals a month from gamefly... its unlimited and works good for the games you beat in a couple days...

 

what? that doesnt even make sense? the disk is not assigned to a single "user name" You could use it in any xbox...


And ND, I love your avatar.haha

"my turn dady"
"Hell naw, do not toucha the trim"..

 

i was thinking more about PC games. they have authentication keys that are required for install and, for some games, required for the online account authentication.

 

yea thats true, the "cd key" you have to enter to install it. arent pretty much 99.9% of computers online today anyways?
