Forums - Microsoft Discussion - SPOILERS! First 30 mins of Mass Effect 2 SPOILERS!

I just want to join the I hate Selnor contingent. I finally got to look at the vids. I'm on a slow ass wireless "broadband" connection at work. While they were excellent, I won't get to play the game myself for a good week. I HATE YOU SELNOR!!!!

Should I watch it, or shouldn't I... Ahh, i remember watching the 10 minute preview for the first game about 5 times, but I feel like saving this one. Could do without the ridiculous claims though :p, don't tarnish a game like ME2!



few more days...



That was much better than I'd expected. Very impressive intro.

Speaking of Bioware, have you (re-)started Dragon Age yet?

great graphics, probably the best on XBOX360 and any "other" console game "except U2"

Theres no need to be worried to say it. Just because alot of PS3 supporters are on this site. I remeber when they all falshed IGN's or Gamespots comments in 360 faces about it being the best visuals in the competition. Well guess what. 360 fans turn.

IGN review of Mass Effect 2.


"It's incredibly personal while still retaining a sense of epic sweeping scale. The combat and mission design are outstanding. The visuals, voice acting, soundtrack, and direction are miles ahead of the competition. Perhaps most impressively, Mass Effect 2 manages to fulfill its incredible ambition while only suffering from very few technical hiccups."

It doesnt say except Uncharted 2. MAss Effect 2 isd the new graphics king. Unreal Engine 3 is still a force to be reckoned with.



Umm... it doesn't even come close to KZ2 or Uncharted 2 graphically, but you obviously have your 360 goggles on.

The game will be amazing no doubt. This is BioWare after all.

^ ^ No offense selnor but where did IGN say that? I just watched the video review and they never mention 'the competition'. They also said the game isn't a completely polished game, with sound glitches, game crashes, and getting stuck on walls.

I'm not trying to downplay the game, but to say this is 'miles ahead of the competition'? You've said this before.

I dont care about the game but here it says it here so I guess he wasnt lying?

Games like Mass Effect 2 don't come around often enough. Look at any aspect and you can be sure it's great. It's incredibly personal while still retaining a sense of epic sweeping scale. The combat and mission design are outstanding. The visuals, voice acting, soundtrack, and direction are miles ahead of the competition. Perhaps most impressively, Mass Effect 2 manages to fulfill its incredible ambition while only suffering from very few technical hiccups. The only real caveat I should mention is that some of the revelations and plot twists won't be quite as powerful if you haven't played Mass Effect 1, but that isn't any reason to skip this fantastic videogame.
