hey guys do i need to know stuff about mass effect 1 to play mass effect 2?? and yeah this trailer is sooo ownage!! :D

Yes, definitely. Mass Effect 2 starts like immediately after the end of Mass Effect and follows a completely continuous plot. It would be confusing and big spoilers if you played it without playing the first game.


This is why i hate ME2. I have to suffer through ME1 to be able to play ME2 :( I somewhat already know what happens in ME1, atleast one of the big twists and turns, but im not too familiar with the overal story. And ME2 as i understand has improved on all aspects of what people thought was bad with the first one. And ME2 seems to be more of a shooter aswell which is a good thing. But i've tried to play ME1 about 4 times, but i never get any further than after my first galactic travel part thingy :(

If you didn't like Mass Effect I doubt you will like the sequel. The gameplay is the same just updated a bit, the story is a continuation of the first so if ME's story wasn't enough to keep you going this one's story likely won't either. The graphical hiccups have been ironed out but that shouldn't have been enough to stop you from enjoying the game. They really didn't happen that often anyway.


Like i said.. i dont have any hard knowledge of the story, but from what i've heard its great. And the graphics was never an issue.

My main complaint about the game is the shooting is uninteresting and has no feel to it. The elevators, the travel, the sidemissions are "useless" and the RPG UI and other elements aren't that smooth. The localization on ingame maps could've been alot better. BUT... as i understand it. Elevators are gone, travel and loading times improved. Its become more shooter oriented and the story looks epic. So i disagree with you. I think i'll enjoy ME2 much more than ME1. But, then again.. i feel like i have to finish ME1 before i venture into ME2. And i really dont want to :S
