I'm planning on pre-ordering it tomorrow hopefully.
Right now, I'm playing the first one. I bought it about a year ago, but I couldn't get pass Feros twice or so and didn't wanna go back and play those 3 hours again.
So I sold it at Gamestop. I've borrowed this game from a friend since Mass Effect 2 looks so cool and intriguing.
Right now, I'm loving Mass Effect 1 and can't wait to beat it and play Mass Effect 2.

Yeah, that's what I meant.. Asari were the only species that had a reason for not having other genders in game.

Pirated it. Although you can consider it legally pirated due to the fact that I pre-ordered it and paid for it already. So in theory I own the license. It's really good, although the combat, items and leveling systems have been dumbed down a lot.
I loathe people like you. gtfo cancer.

I finally got the game on release date
First time I ever did that. I usually purchase a game a few days after or used. Plus I got the PC version.
I'll write my preliminary thoughts later

Welp, just finished the first game. (20 hours in all) Just played the first few minutes of the next game and I'm very impressed.
Also, I hear there's alot of issues with the DLC and the downloadable armor. You have to link your gamertag with your EA account to get the armor and the DLC and I'm not able to link it together.
Also, apparently you can't take your helmet off of the downloadable armor.
I guess I'll just wait on the armor and the DLC until these issues are wrapped up.
Sorry if this is old news.

Obviously you haven't owned an Xbox for very long, or read too much into any of it's games. Since the original Mass Effect has been out for 3 years and has been hailed as a must have for quite some time.
Glad I got it on the PC now.
The reason they are doing that is because they want you to create an account on the Bioware social network. That way they can prevent any sort of piracy with the game and it's DLC.
With the Terminus armor (only with purchase from Gamestop). I highly doubt they would "fix" it and allow you to remove the helmet. That would require them modifying the model, and it's far to much of a hassle for them. Plus the armor wouldn't look that great if you could, as the helmet makes Shepard look more intimidating.
Anyway, after playing this game for the entire day, I must say I am VERY impressed. Bioware really outdid themselves with this game. To put it into perspective. If you ever played both Saints Row 2, and the original. ME2 is to Mass Effect, like Saints Row 2 is to Saints Row. Just a gigantic improvement in almost all regards that obliterates your original complaints with the original. The gameplay is far more refined and less repetative, the environments gorgeous and detailed, the party members and characters interesting to talk to, the player choice involved, everything is just a major step up from the original. I would definantly recommend purchasing this game, even if you are given a choice between this one and the original. Because it squashes the original in every single regard.

Two words, two sentences: "Collision bugs" and "Loading hell".
Getting stuck in a rock after a 15 minute shootout scene is not fun. Neither is waiting a minute for your earlier quicksave to load.
Overall nice game. Play on Insanity if you don't want it to feel like a walk in the park. Melee battle mechs to death with a pistol for a good laugh. Try to beat the game as a melee only character.

I haven't got much interest because I have yet to be bothered enough to complete the first one. Why be excited about the sequel when you haven't completed the first? But my brother won't shut up about it, every day for the part week he has been regurgitating the same bits of info over and over again. Last night he made me sit through half an hour of videos he downloaded before he would let me sleep
Sony launched with a Blu-ray player and all they could get hold of was that crappy 2x speed one, the one that actually reads information slower than DVD; resulting in mandatory installs in many games.
How was 360 supposed to get a Blu-ray player when they launched a year earlier?

Haven't beaten the game yet, but I definitely have some complaints.. ugh, won't go into all of them. Little annoying scanning planets, I semi-miss driving the Mako.
I really, really want to bitchslap Bioware though considering you can do a female/female relationship yet again.. but of course, male/male is not allowed. -- Ugh.

if you want a naughty turian you should pay pinkuh's gallery on FA a visit XD
i didnt even know that female/female relationships were possible in the first game! interesting.
pretty unfair not to have any male/male relationships though... looks like bioware is one of those companies who "hate gay people but lesbians are perfectly fine" :V
