Somebody could get you a pre-order for the Christmas thing.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #201 on:** 16 Oct 2009, 14:31 »

I will get this, but now I don't know which armor I want more.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #202 on:** 16 Oct 2009, 14:33 »

is that you, Iron Man?

Melodic · « **Reply #203 on:** 16 Oct 2009, 17:17 »

At least the stupid fucking helmet-visor and crotch guard seem to be gone!

Storm Rider · « **Reply #204 on:** 16 Oct 2009, 19:49 »

The Iron Man-looking armor actually gives a bonus to negotiate options, which would be nice. Except that's the preorder bonus for everywhere-but-Gamestop, and the closest place to my apartment that sells games is a Gamestop. God damn it.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #205 on:** 16 Oct 2009, 19:51 »

Yeah, I really want the Iron Man looking red armor, but then I would have to go through with pre-ordering it somewhere besides Gamestop. The other armor looks kind of badass though.

KvP · « **Reply #206 on:** 16 Oct 2009, 21:20 »

Is there a bonus for Steam preorders? I know there's one for Dragon Age.

Melodic · « **Reply #207 on:** 16 Oct 2009, 22:22 »

So is it a universal thing? I could probably be arsed to preorder it at Futureshop or EB Games if it means free stuff.

KvP · « **Reply #208 on:** 31 Oct 2009, 02:46 »

Combat footage. Looks like a vast improvement.

LTK · « **Reply #209 on:** 31 Oct 2009, 05:58 »

Oh wow, that look like biotic husks! Combat looks really badass too.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #210 on:** 31 Oct 2009, 08:52 »

And it looks like it runs a hell of a lot smoother, too...no more sniper shots missing because of uneven framerate yuss

Storm Rider · « **Reply #211 on:** 31 Oct 2009, 17:20 »

Wow, that looks way different than earlier footage of the game. The HUD's way simpler and more elegant, and I really like how the new closer camera angle puts you closer to the action. Another thing I noticed is that whoever was playing that demo didn't use the power wheel once, even though they clearly were at least switching ammo types a few times. Hopefully that means there's an easy way to cycle through those if you want to just play it like a straight shooter. Although I can't even imagine going through ME without using all the abilities, even as a soldier.

:O

Also Dark Horse is making a comic

some concept art too, ~~which may or may not be Tali(if it is Tali, she is probably a squadmate.)~~ It is Tali

The armor looks a lot better designed this time around.

Melodic · « **Reply #213 on:** 31 Oct 2009, 22:29 »

Holy fuck, that is fucking phenomenal.

Holy fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Goddamn does this look like a huge jump in all around quality.

JD · « **Reply #215 on:** 31 Oct 2009, 23:09 »

I also hear there will be a geth ally? His name is Legion supposedly.

LeeC · « **Reply #216 on:** 31 Oct 2009, 23:36 »

honestly in the first one i didnt like marine girl or science girl, I'd rather hook up with Tali. She just seemed more interesting. Wish more was developed on her, marine girl was a horrible racist, and science girl was just ditzy space blonde. Tali on the other hand, I dunno just seemed more interesting, huge technical/engineering background, her race is a mix of BSG, the blue aliens from Daft Punk "discovery" music video, and several other influences that I cant think of right now (alcoholic limitations) plus she was trying to find something to either fight the geth or help her people. Way more could have been developed with her being that you were fighting the geth.

JD · « **Reply #217 on:** 31 Oct 2009, 23:47 »

Tali always reminded me of Samus

I notice nobody's mentioned dude man (Kaiden?). I played a woman (like I always do), and he was clearly a vaguely okay choice. Not a good choice, mind, but a vaguely okay one.

Uh-oh, here we drop in the Uncanny Valley. That looks good enough to be a real robot that someone took an effort to make it look like a real person.

I liked Kaiden, dude had an interesting past.

And if you did things properly you could convince Ashley to rethink her attitude towards aliens.

Surgoshan · « **Reply #222 on:** 01 Nov 2009, 11:51 »

Too bad you couldn't convince her to rethink her attitude toward the ladies...

LeeC · « **Reply #223 on:** 01 Nov 2009, 14:34 »

I hope we get some cool new weapon options. I always like playing the soldier type when I play RPG games.

KvP · « **Reply #224 on:** 01 Nov 2009, 16:00 »

They're introducing heavy weapons. Don't know about anything else, though.

LeeC · « **Reply #225 on:** 01 Nov 2009, 16:02 »

a grenade launcher and a personal anti tank weapon would be sweet too.

yeah hes done a lot of voice acting, like the dude form the knight of the old republic whose name escapes me right now. Even look similar haha.

He did deadpool for marvel ultimate alliance and I was a bit disappointed, I was expecting a crazier sounding voice.

BrilliantEraser · « **Reply #228 on:** 02 Nov 2009, 08:43 »

Yeah, Carth Onasi. One of my biggest video-game-fan crushes.

LeeC · « **Reply #229 on:** 02 Nov 2009, 11:15 »

the name itself was badass enough

Hopefully those are for Soldiers only, or at least for classes with some combat specialty. It was kind of a bummer that pure Soldiers had very little going for them in comparison with other classes beyond Immunity.

Alex C · « **Reply #231 on:** 02 Nov 2009, 14:12 »

The nice bit there though is that well, Immunity basically did what it sounds like it does. Chaining Immune periods together with Adrenaline Rush was ridiculous. Never really found soldiers to actually be at a disadvantage in practice, even if Infiltrator is probably my preferred class.

Storm Rider · « **Reply #232 on:** 02 Nov 2009, 14:34 »

It's not that they were at a disadvantage, they just didn't have as many cool unique abilities as the other classes. Giving them exclusive use of the heavy weapons would do a bit better job of making them 'feel' different and more interesting. I'm still importing my pure Soldier, for sure, but I hope I've got some new stuff to play with.

snalin · « **Reply #233 on:** 03 Nov 2009, 03:45 »

The first time I played through, I didn't notice anything else than the possibility of a male pure solider. So that's how I roll. Not having all gun skills from day 1 would've been a bummer.

BrilliantEraser · « **Reply #234 on:** 03 Nov 2009, 12:22 »

First play-through was female soldier, paragon. Second play-through (still working on it) is male biotic, renegade. Pretty interesting to see all the different story options.

Storm Rider · « **Reply #235 on:** 03 Nov 2009, 13:30 »

My first playthrough was a male Paragon soldier, second was a male Renegade adept. My third playthrough was a female infiltrator, whose alignment I hadn't quite decided yet, but I didn't get very far in that playthrough or my NG+ of the soldier before getting distracted and finally putting the game down. I do want to go back and finish those before the second game comes out though.

BrilliantEraser · « **Reply #236 on:** 03 Nov 2009, 13:55 »

Which character are you going to import first? Mine is definitely my soldier, but I *really* need to finish up my biotic before ME2 comes out. How many days left in the countdown?

ackblom12 · « **Reply #237 on:** 03 Nov 2009, 14:05 »

I think I might go my Biotic first. Biotics were just so much fun.

Storm Rider · « **Reply #238 on:** 03 Nov 2009, 14:11 »

Biotics are definitely a ton of fun, but I think I'll import my soldier first because I'm always a goody two-shoes in RPGs by default and so he was the one I most felt represented the way I play RPGs. That's why I want to finish his NG+ run before the sequel comes out, so I can establish definitively what my choices were.

The game comes out on January 26th, which means we have 2 months and 23 days, or 85 days if you want to get really specific.

I love the "throw" command. And then making noises for the geth or asari or whatever I was throwing around. Like "AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaAAAAAAA... WOOAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaOOOOOO"

ackblom12 · « **Reply #240 on:** 03 Nov 2009, 14:25 »

Oh hell yes. Making cartoon noises for them flying away when you lift and throw planetside and watch them fly over a mountain and into orbit.

"WOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooossssshhhhhh... ding"

2 months and some weeks. If you're going to play Dragon Age I advise you get an acceptable playthrough of ME out of the way first - you might not have time to get one done once you've finished DA.

Bastardous Bassist · « **Reply #242 on:** 03 Nov 2009, 18:33 »

I did a female infiltrator mostly paragon and a male biotic who was pretty strongly renegade. I want do do a third playthrough with a character that I will be able to stand looking at for that many hours (there were slight things in the female that just made her look slightly odd and the male is hilarious, so I'll play with him at some point).

JD · « **Reply #243 on:** 03 Nov 2009, 20:38 »

My Vanguard is probably the only one I'll port over. I replayed that thing like 5 times to get to level 60.

Second returning character confirmed.

hurray! I loved garrus, he was my best friend and favorite squad mate. I liked having him and tali with my soldier character

BrilliantEraser · « **Reply #246 on:** 05 Nov 2009, 11:29 »

I really like Garrus too! Except my party consisted of me (my female paragon soldier), Garrus, and Kaiden. Best party ever.*

*Only rivaled by KotOR I, with my female light side guardian Jedi, Carth, and Canderous

LeeC · « **Reply #247 on:** 05 Nov 2009, 11:35 »

Canderous was awesome, He was just a badass and made me think of Ron Pearlman.

Enemies of Mass Effect (also Legion)

Stoked about Garrus. It was me (Vanguard), him, and Wrex, all day long. Fuckyeah.
