I agree, leave ME alone. I'd love to see a Bioshock or a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. movie though.

[shadowgrin]

Does that mean we'll see "leave ME alone!" video from you el badman?

[el badman]

I'm still trying to find the right outfit for it.
Already got the makeup from my wife though.

The new "Overlord" DLC is now available, downloading it right now. It's 1GB, and it apparently features 5 new worlds.

[Lean]

Might be installing this again with that release. And hopefully it expands the game a bit, not like that Firewalker DLC.

[el badman]

The new DLC is alright but it's realy more of the Firewalker stuff...There's more combat and a bit of a story to it, but you do spend lots of time once again in the Hammerhead...Oh well.

[Lean]

I just got my PC reformatted since the blue screen of death appears consistently before booting up Windows, I lost my save games gone with the reformat. :X

Now there is a reason to re-play ME2.

[el badman]

I was bored so I'm playing it for the 3rd time too. Trying to make the choices that I never made during the first 2 playthroughs, so I found out some stuff that I hadn't seen before.
Also, I started playing it again for the Overlord DLC, but which was actually fairly good, but with too much Hammerhead sequences.

[Lean]

That too. Since I haven't been able to play the Stolen Memory and Overlord DLCs. I was able to recruit Kasumi back then but I was too bored to get her mission done.

The Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC is set for a release on 9/7/10. It will feature a lot more from Liara, and is supposed to provide some insight regarding the role of the Shadow Broker in the ME story.

[Lean]

...and it will provide the conclusion of your with Liara.

[el badman]

Here is the trailer for that DLC by the way, available tomorrow

So EA is hogging BioWare to release DLC's for both Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age: Origins on the same day tomorrow! Hoozah! Hooray for publisher pressure!

[el badman]

Here are a few figures for ME2 that were published by IGN and that I thought were interesting:

[el badman]

The new DLC is pretty damn good. It started out a little slow and I thought it was gonna be short, but it's actually fairly long, even leaving some things to do after it's over.
I didn't think they were actually gonna show the Shadow Broker, or maybe just a quick glimpse. I really thought that would be part of the Mass Effect 3 story, but it looks like they wanted to get this out of the way before the new episode. Liara becoming the new Shadow Broker was certainly unexpected though.

[Lean]

Damn, just when I removed ME2 from the disk.

Since the Firewalker pack turned me down I was expecting the following DLCs to be as lame.

[Lean]

I think this is too good to make a new thread for.

phpBB [video]

Must. Play. ME1. And. ME2. Again.

[el badman]

Some good stuff right there, can't wait...

[Lean]

Shepard will return to Earth!

[Lean]

Alright, this may be a good reason to NOT play Dragon Age 2.

[el badman]

Damn it, gonna have to reinstall ME2 again then...

[Lean]

A prelude to ME3? Count me in. I guess I have to accept the fact that ME2 isn't over until ME3 is finally out.

[Lean]

Alright, since I did a second playthrough to get to ME2: Arrival, this made me want December to be heaps nearer:



This issue will include screenshots from ME3.

[el badman]

Mass Effect 3 is delayed til the first quarter of 2012. Damn it.

[Lean]

But on a positive note, this may lead to a better product.

(also, I will merge this to the other Mass Effect thread and rename it as such)
