If you like RPGs then absolutely. Hands down my favorite RPG of all time, that goes above KOtOR, Dragon Age and the Fallout series (if you consider them true RPGs).

You should buy the first and second and play them before the 3rd comes out on March 6th, they'll be pretty cheap.

Pretty sure I'm going to the midnight launch of this game, since I get off of work at midnight lol.

by Ganso Mon Feb 20, 2012 4:48 pm

Just finished ME2 again, staying up till 4:30 AM in the process with school the next day. Pretty fatigued and sick as a result, totally worth it Mass Effect Thread - Page 2 3176931354

But I can't get everyone to survive. Jack is the only one who isn't loyal and I didn't use her for any one of the final tasks and at the end it pans out to her dead body. Bugs the crap outta me.

by Ganso Mon Feb 20, 2012 5:13 pm

completely forgot about that,i will make sure to read a lot on how to save everyone.Last time i tried,2 characters always died

by MJ Mon Feb 20, 2012 5:44 pm

I read up and followed the exact specifications and she still died, mind you I'm playing on insanity and that supposedly decreases the survival odds of the entire crew so I figure I'll just put it on casual and just get through it ffs.

I am GOAT, first Mass Effect 2 playthrough, no one died Mass Effect Thread - Page 2 4086640091

You just have to make sure everyone is loyal, and get the right upgrades to the Normandy which you get hints about from the conversations. Garrus will tell you about the cannon, Tali will tell you about the shield and someone I forgot will tell you about the armour. And also in the suicide mission, pick the right people for the specific jobs.

by MJ Tue Feb 21, 2012 8:19 am

Yeah lol, I know. But when Jack and Miranda fought I didn't have enough paragon to resolve it without choosing sides so I ended up siding with Miranda and losing Jack's loyalty and I never had enough paragon to fix it but I read online you could still get everyone to survive even if Jack wasn't loyal. Didn't work for me.

by Ganso Tue Feb 21, 2012 9:09 am

damn it,cant pick ME1 up in any store and my dirty online way of getting it only has Mass Effect 2.Shouldn't have sold this game for $5 to Gamestop :vagi:

ME2's save data will have to do

by MJ Tue Feb 21, 2012 9:31 am

You can always create your own save here http://www.masseffectsaves.com/

if your savvy enough. Personally, I don't have any major gripes with losing Jack but if I knew exactly how to work one of those saves which I don't because of laziness, I would.

I had the same situation in my first play through and everyone survived.

I just didn't use Jack in any part of the suicide mission.

I used :

Shepard, Kasumi, Miranda
Legion - Tech
Garrus - Team 2 Leader

Shepard, Samara, Thane
Garrus - Team 2 Leader
Jacob - Survivors Escort

Shepard, Garrus, Miranda

All Normandy Upgrades and Loyalty missions were done.

by MJ Tue Feb 21, 2012 9:37 am

Yeah! I did the same thing, sort of. I just used Mordin as the escort and took Legion and Garrus with me as my final squad. Whatevs, I'll put it on casual and retry.

by Jack Daniels Tue Feb 21, 2012 9:39 am

Yeah just try it again.. If she still dies consult the ME wiki lol

by MJ Tue Feb 21, 2012 10:23 am

Done and she lives! Still got no way of getting her loyalty back though. My last paragon bar is only half full and I'm obviously done with all the main missions.

by Jack Daniels Tue Feb 21, 2012 10:30 am

Nice job man..

Well you can always play your character again if you insist on getting your paragon/renegade bar full.

by MJ Tue Feb 21, 2012 10:32 am

Hell no! loool it took me 30 hours on insanity to give up and play the final mission on casual and I was only doing it to make sure everyone survived (Thane dies in my old one)

Whatevs, I romanced Tali so i dont really care much about not having Jack's loyalty.

If it comes down to it in ME3 I'll put Tali before Earth Heart

Judging by the demo, I'm not even sure if Tali's in the game. The demo itself was alright, I guess.

She's one of the confirmed characters.

PC,i dont think we can do that save thing on the 360 and PS3.Maybe on the 360

by MJ Fri Feb 24, 2012 12:32 pm

The site says that PC saves can be converted to console saves and vice versa. If you configure a USB to the Xbox then you can just drop the saves onto them from the computer and copy them onto your hard drive theoretically. I've yet to try it though but I'd imagine if it works like they say then that's how it would work.

This link shows you how to EDIT your save rather than creating/downloading one from scratch.

Pretty psyched. My social life will vanish.

Se7en, if you live in Lebanon then how do you plan on getting it? Just curious from a fellow struggling Lebanese gamer.

Trying to impose a media blackout on myself but I'm failing so hard, there's so many script leaks and previews and reviews.

Really wish I coulda been in America to get one of those balloons :/
