IGN posted an error they have right now on xbox live. You can get all the DLC bonus's for free right now, including collectors edition stuff! looks like bioware screwed up, snag it all while you can. Im not even planning on getting the game at launch but i grabbed it all except for the blood dragon armor since i have that from DA

3 things has annoyed me thus far.

1. The last word in a sentence is cut off sometimes. Lucky I have subs on.

2. The same button does everything, so when I fast forward a conversation I hit an option at the end of it without even having had time to see it.

3. Load times are horrible in the ship, even worse than in me1. Outside the ship they made the areas huge so the load times are a bit more acceptable.

I finished it.The end is great.Simply great.The touch made by Bioware is superb,they do have the tendency to do this,like in Dragon Age.

One word of advice.UPGRADE SHIP.Helps a lot.

Well,that's a bit too much.
7.5/10 works for me,since its improvements stand in graphic,story(which really seemed like a side story almost...all the time after the first 2 missions) and characters.Here,I'd have to give the a full 10.
Also,the ending makes you feel really cool.I really loved how all is wrapped up.
How

every character dies,or does something.

It really made all those hours gathering them.

Not sure how you guys have all finished the game already since release date for North America was today and for EU is another couple days away....

The game is amazing just like the first one was so far. A few things about the series still bothers me.
1) Why do all the alien races look human? Every race has 2 arms, 2 legs, standing upright, mouths, eyes, and many other features consistent with humans. Do they really believe all aliens in the universe would function in the same general manner? subtract some realism for this fact. (Oh, I suppose Hannar race is a little different, but you see them like one time so )

2)Why do all the humans have the exact same body type? Everyone is skinny, has no ass, and is fairly flat-chested (for females). I was hoping they would fix some of these things in this new game, but they didn't.

Anyways, some things I like better is that the battles seem more fluid in the new game. I haven't made it extremely far yet (having just received the game today), but I'm really hoping for some better sniping opportunities in this game. The first game was darn near impossible to use the sniper.

*runs off to keep playing*

Has no ass?DID YOU SEE MIRANDA?Clearly not.
And the sniper is really improved in this one.One of the few good improvements.
Don't be shocked by the RPG system.

Yes I saw her...it's not noticeably any bigger than any of the other females, it's just the costume design that makes it look a bit bigger. I've already been able to whip out my sniper rifle for some fun on enemies. I'm so glad to see more opportunities to use it. I felt like choosing the infiltrator in the first game was pretty much pointless.

I certainly am not shocked by the RPG system. I was a big fan of KOTOR and KOTOR:2 on Xbox (same company, same type of game, just Star Wars themed) and it revolved around pausing the battle almost every turn in order to choose commands.

[Carnivus]

Yeah,I know.
I was referring to the redesigned points system,that RPG system.It basically removes all the epicness of ME1's leveling points.I mean,when I first saw all those powers and didn't know where to put my first points...

Dang that sucks. I assumed I would aquire new abilities or something as I went through the game, but it sounds like I will only have this tiny skill list though it all. Definitely liked the ME1 system better if that is the case.

damn I missed it by a day. I only was able to get that armor.

[Carnivus]

I can't believe they're actually expecting people to buy 2 armors and 4 new guns.You may say that the new Normandy crash site is nice,but it sucks.All you do is walk around,see parts of the ship,then a flashback.Oh,also,you collect dog tags.20 of 'em.

I'm supposed to have special armor, some special characters, some new minimaps, special weapon, and the normandy crash site. After redeeming my code in the downloadable content section the only thing there was the Nomrandy crash zone....Not sure what's going on, but Amazon promised special pre-order goodies and I haven't yet collected.

I actually just ran into a huge glitch on the Normandy crash site. I was looking for the last dog tag when a tiny little step over a crevasse snagged my character in mid air. Now I'm running around in mid air with invisible walls all around. I can move around the map in certain patterns, but I can't get back on land. I was hoping a save/reload would fix it, but it didn't. *sigh* guess I have to find all the tags all over again.

Welcome to how EA does business.

[Carnivus]

I can bet anything that EA had something to do with the "restructuring" of the RPG system.I would call it butchering the game,but they call it innovation.
And no wonder why they're losing so much money now.Fuck you,EA!

[kardz]

hey guize how do we make more money

uh iunno how abowt we take things out of the game and introduce them on release day as DLC's and charge extra

herp derp good idea bro

That happens on other places in the game as well. There is a hack for fixing it if you don't have a save near that point (changing an ini file to give you noclip).

[Carnivus]

Never happened to me throughout 20h of gameplay.In fact,I haven't seen a single significant bug/glitch the entire game.Same goes for ME1.

I have it on Xbox...no tampering with files to fix anything. Luckily I haven't seen any other glitches than the one quick air walk incident.

I really enjoied the game, but..

I where thinking about Mass Effect(1) and as usual i break the game down. Dunno why i do that..
Anyways, before i knew it, i had a list of the things i wish were better in the game. Since its all criticism i put it in a box.

(click to show/hide)

Played through the game. For II i hope they fix the team AI, its really annoying when they get stuck or dont do as you tell them.
They allso have a habit of shooting walls when theres enemies behind, even if they havent had chance to see them. That kinda ruins some of the surprise..

I dont get why some "classes/professions" have certain types of weapons. Why can they use/equip a assault rifle if they cant aim, and cant do damage with it?
The best example is the pure bionics, they have NO weapon skills at all.

It takes time to equip each character, the gear names and levels start getting mixed up, and the names change depending on level.
I wish theyd added a "upgrade" system with the best available choices high-lighted or something like that.
And maybe a sorting system so we could sort the junk from the goodies.

Theres allso some weapon mods that seems to have been left out of large parts of the game, like the "heat reduction mod".
Most of the weapon mod characteristics change to something else at higher levels, kinda bad when you like them, and the new stats are crap.
Some mods i dont even get the point of having, they might be good..but hell they overheat the weapon in 1 shot. Some armor mods allso seem fairly useless.

Stats arent properly explained, and they dont show up on the inventory stats. Questions like "does kinetic do damage?", "does +15% damage resistance mean resistance, or +armor?"
Allso the skills and tools used with them are kinda wierd. I tried putting on different omni-tools with little visible effect on skill cooldowns. That leads me to the next question "are some skills, like the sniper skill, not affected?

Alltho the game seems fairly bug free, the sound get messed up. Volume on different things changes for some reason, not kewl when youve allready cranked the volume and you get "blasted" with thundering voices(like the soveregn hologram sequence).
