Finally beat Mass Effect 2

you can get a ME2 save game editor and just give yourself 100,000 of each mineral. Booyah!

ME2 was the tits, I can't believe anyone could rank crap like Red Dead Redemption over it for GOTY

This is what I did after my first playthrough. I didn't see the point in redoing the more tedious parts of the game.

You guys are going a little overboard with the ME2 love here. Yes, it has an amazing story and is a very good single player shooter, but it totally lost all it's roleplaying roots. There was more character development and weapon options in Black Ops...lol

I agree. But nonetheless, it was the best game of 2010 by far.

I don't think ME2 had an amazing story. ME1 had a pretty damn good one, and ME2 just barely built on it.

Agreed with above. While it was fun for 1 playthrough, I couldn't stomach finishing another one, compared to probably the 15 or so playthrough's I put into ME1 between pc and 360. (I borrowed a 360 copy for the achievements lol). To much damn consolitis/gears knock off and to much work to try and fix it.

I might pick it up again for a couple of the DLC's, and if more significant choices carry over into ME3, then carried over to ME2. I think ME3 will bring a good balance, as Bioware admitted they were trying to cater to the console crowd and went overboard with removing the RPG elements.
