After watching all the trailer's and dev videos posted at Fileplanet, I broke down and pre-ordered the game from GoGamer. I don't particularly care for the further devolution of the game into a first person shooter, but the storyline and characters are intriguing, Bioware never disappoints on that.

I still haven't finished DA:O. :(

This will probably be one I pick up. I'd like to get DA:O as well but I just don't have the time to invest into games like that anymore.

Anyone have save games for ME1? I have one of a male Shepard, romance with Ashley, dead Kaiden, saved the council, appointed Anderson to the council, but I believe I forget to get Tali the Geth information. :(

I just played through ME1 these last 2 days in anticipation. After reading the changes to the classes I wish I wouldn't have played an infiltrator though.. Their new ability seems cheesy and pointless to me. Being able to cloak would be cool if their was some kind of backstab ability so you feel like an assassin or something...

I have it pre-ordered and pre-downloaded on Steam. I'm going to be out of town camping when it's released which kind of sucks.

I do have the savegames with all of those decisions as well as Tali's Geth info. PM me your email and I'll send it your way.

As for me I have the game pre-ordered as well as pre-loaded on steam, just waiting for it to unlock!!

I was planning on getting it day 1 but I may have to wait because of work. Still a resounding "yes" though.

Eventually. Don't get me wrong I love ME1 to death, but I'm not in a financial position to buy a $50 game. I'll wait 'til it's $30. Hopefully not too long. Besides, I still have The Witcher from the Steam sale to start.

Probably when it's Steam bargain bin.

I am struggling along with ME1 trying to enjoy it but it doesnt feel like it's for me. Good story even if it feels a bi paper thin right now but the action part of it feels quite bad.

Yes, I just don't know when. I've got such a backlog of games that I need to play first. Also, I wanna get another ME1 playthrough in before 2.

Eventually. I wanna hear what people have to say about the gameplay.
If all I hear is "GRAPHICS! GRAPHICS! GRAPHICS!" then I'll be waiting until its in the bargain bin.

It's a Bioware RPG.. game play will be great. The first Mass Effect was great, I don't see why the sequel wouldn't also be.

That said, I'll wait for it to be on sale. I got DA:O for $30, I'm sure ME2 will be that much or less in not too long.

The graphics of ME can't improve much because of the limitations of the Xbox 360. The PC version will improve slightly but because the game is developed for the 360 first and PC second, the game's visuals will be limited by the limitations of the 360. Limits that were reached a year ago in some of the FPSs that launched for the 360.

Maybe..I bought the first one for 20 bucks...fairly enjoyable but didn't finish it.

Mass effect 2 does not look like anything more (graphically at least) than the 1st.

I'll buy it in the bargain bin. It took what? 3-6 months to drop in price for the first one from 50 down to 30.

My next purchase is AvP

Well see thats the problem. I didnt think Mass Effect was great. The only part I really liked was the well-told story. Everything else was a poor mish-mash of bits of KOTOR and MMO style side quests.
So I'm gonna have to wait until people play it and talk about it.

I was one of the few lucky ones to play this game already.
Simply amazing! I can't believe it got anything less than 100/100.

Great graphics, great storyline and kept the game to its core play.

I am currently running this game at 2580x1600, everything Max + 16x AA with one HD4890.
Gameplay is smooth as silk. So dont plunge your dollars on a new vidcard until you try out the game.

Dunno if I'm spoiled or just hard to please, but when I think of games like Baldur's Gate 2 which with mods was easily over 100 hours and Throne of Bhaal which was 30-40 (might be wrong), I kind of feel cheated when I pay good money for a 20 hour RPG. I realize that yes, the games are MUCH more like movies and more immersive, more expensive to create etc. I really like marathon RPG's. In my mind BG2 is easily more epic than anything that's been released since. Even Fallout 3 was decent for what it was, but the first two were vastly better. I hope that some serious DLC comes out for Mass Effect 2. Same with Dragon Age, for that matter. I haven't played yet, but I have an Impulse copy on pre-order (probably should have gone box).

I was watching a guy play live stream earlier and I spoiled a few things for myself, but the funny part was that he kept saying "I'm nowhere near the end of this game" and he was 21 hours in. Then suddenly he started a new quest and found that he was at the end of the game. Kind of made me chuckle. Sorry for the long post.
