Mass Effect 2

Mass Effect is one of my favorite games of the current generation. Though the first one had tons of flaws, the overall experience was still so awesome.
The 2nd one looks incredible.
I actually am not following most of the latest trailers very closely. I want to be surprised when it comes out.

Anyone else hyped for ME 2?

I will be playing, and I am avoiding all the trailers and shit as well... They give away too much for this kind of story heavy game.
Mass Effect was awesome, and misunderstood by a lot of people who just couldn't get used to the combat system.

Yeah. I always thought Mass Effect was ultra popular. But I do not hear about it anywhere near as much as I thought I would.
The story was really intense though, I loved it.

My ending was totally different than my friend's... he was watching me play one of the final scenes, and telling me how hard the guy was to kill and how it took him over an hour...
Not to give spoilers, but I didn't even have to fight the guy because of how I played the game to that point. I passed the scene with ease due to pure roleplaying and my friend almost shit.

Yeah, I'm getting pretty excited about it. I need to go put it on reserve here pretty soon. I just played through Mass Effect for the second time about a month back in anticipation for the sequel. Definitely a great game. It'll be interesting to see how the rest of the story plays out.
Would have preferred to have the game over Christmas break though rather than the start of a new semester... -_-
But, I'm sure I'll find a way to juggle it all.
What class did you guys play? I played as a biotic specialist... it was difficult at first, but eventually I ended up absolutely destroying everything in my path. I'm not sure what I'll play as in the sequel, I haven't read much about the new classes. Guess I've kinda been avoiding reading up on the game too much as well.

ME1 was amazing, I need to play through that again before ME2 comes out.
I played as a biotic/combat (vanguard maybe?) and destroyed people with shotguns. I hope there is a similar class in ME2. I haven't watched any trailers or read anything either

Everything I say is heresay. All fiction for a fictional character. Rule yourself, let no one else rule you. Down with government, and up with responsibility.

All the review so far have been really good. I heard they replaced side missions on boring desolate planets with something else
Now I just hae to hurry and play through ME1, I don't remember a thing about the story

That's my concern as well... I forget what happened and your decisions from ME1 will affect the story of ME2 and ME3.
I am just going to import my guy and hope for the best!

According to the IGN review it apparently reminds you of all the major decisions you made in the first game.
I was going to replay the first game as well, but now I don't feel like that's necessary.

Doubt it matters too much since it obviously has to cater to people who have not played the first one also.

One of the complaints is that Mass Effect 2 refers too much to ME 1 to the point where people who haven't played the first one have trouble following it

Well it Is a sequel. Glancing over the wiki for the first one is probably a good idea. I was referring more to the character data from the first one being carried over and how it cant be a fundamental requirement to play the second one.

Here's a video special from IGN entitled "Mass Effect in 5 Minutes".
Might help to watch this if you haven't played Mass Effect or if it's been a long time...
If you plan on playing Mass Effect 1 first, then don't watch the video! Lots of spoilers.

I hear nothing but good things about Mass Effect 2 every day.
Metacritic of 9.6/10 with 44 reviews last time I checked. Its a masterpiece, and I cant afford it. FUUUCK
