Just got back from picking up my CE with predorder bonus (which I'm wholly against) and am installing now. GLEE.

I must say, that bit in the leaked video where the makeup went runny was kind of clever. Don't think I've ever seen that in a game before.

Hey Gusto, did it take forever to log into your EA account? I've been staring at the "PLEASE WAIT" for like 5 minutes now.

It's probably being hammered.

It went pretty quick for me, I already had an EA account after digitally downloading some Sims expansions, but yeah they're likely pretty swamped over there.

Yeah, it seems I'm right in line with countless other people stuck at "PLEASE WAIT".

Once again, DRM fucks over the customers willing to ACTUALLY PAY FOR YOUR FUCKING GAME.

Have you ever seen the experiment where they put a nut in a bottle and then the monkey reaches in and grabs the nut? His hand grasping the nut is now too large to pull out of the bottle and he struggles to pull it out.

Right now some scientist is watching me as I try to get my closed hand out of the bottle.

I didn't have any problems with my account stuff at all, just went to social.bioware.com and did all the stuff there. Of course, I've been out of the house most of the day and my disc drive is not working on my brand new computer for fuck knows what reason so I can't play anyways. :(

Yeah, the Bioware forums says, "SOME PEOPLE are having issues".

Why am I always in that some people group. Eff you Jay.

Well, everything's up and running now. And I'm off to work. Will I slip away from work when I should be looking for speeders on the highway to come home and play Mass Effect 2? Likely.

Very much so. However, no one watches us up here. Ever. So little in fact we caught another member lying about his location using the GPS. He was at some mistress of his' house. He'd been visiting her instead of doing what he'd been radioing in for months and no one had noticed. Even then it was only a couple of us constables that did notice.

And it's not like I'd actually do that. I just want to.

Can you have more variations in hair style? Thats the only thing that slightly bugged me in MEI.
 
Gusto

The NPCs seem to have different hairstyles but I opted to not edit my femShep.

I DID notice tat her haircut looks a little more natural and better now.

I gave my Shepard better eyebrows, but I didn't notice any real changes on the character creation. Again, I imported, so maybe it's that.


I came in here (and stopped playing, even!) just to bitch about:
them closing off the "Presidium" to only be the councilor's office (whoever you chose in ME1, I'd guess). I was looking forward to re-visiting my old Citadel friends, gorram it!!

The guy complaining about his refund TWO YEARS LATER cracked me up something fierce, though. Oh god. The laughing.

Alright, I played for 10 straight hours and decided to take a break for the sake of my eyes. And my sanity.

I freaking LOVE this game, although I'm a bit mad at Bioware for making the font hard-as-fuck to read in an older SD TV, which is a place where Mass Effect excelled. Oh well. I also miss the "infinite ammo, but watch the heat" system over the "infinite ammo but you need thermal clips...to..uh.. fire. So collect those cause you run out pretty fast. But infinite ammo!" one.

Mass Effect 2 first impressions:

1. The Vorcha are ANNOYING AS FUCK

2. Zaeed is hilarious, as is Mordin. If Grunt wasn't such an awesome meat shield, both would have a permanent place on my squad.

3. Jack/Subject 0 is...interesting. Have to see if she develops more beyond 'rawr dark angry chick'

4. Every scene with The Illusive Man is pure gold.

Just played the first hour or so of it. I was right about Martin Sheen's voice being too distinctive and immersion-breaking. (I kept expecting people to call him President Bartlett) Also, I miss the ability to call up the journal with one key, instead of having to go through the ESC menu. And what's with the mini-map being only available when you hold down a key?

Other than these tiny nitpicks though, I'm loving it so far. It's like ME1, but better.

Also...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, MY NORMANDY!!!!

Quick question I couldn't find anywhere else: you can replay the first Mass Effect multiple times with the same character, but make different decisions each time. If I have a character that I played through with twice, making different decisions in each playthrough (and not doing any of the sidequests the second time around), which playthrough will the game end up loading?
