well, at least 1 person has a boxed copy...that was used to create the pirated version
I have a boxed copy of the first one if that counts.
And for everyone trying to import a character from the first game you have to import the saves in the external config utility then do it in game (why it doesn't look in the my documents folder where they were saved by default is beyond me).
gonna get the xb360 version when it comes but i picked up the PC "release" for now.
a few hours in and i really like the improvements to the ui and gameplay they made, game has a much better cinematic feel also.
one problem im having though, how the fuck do you take screenshots? prnt scrn just takes black screens and doesn't save to the ME2 directory. anyone know?

IGN just posted their review not too long ago:
http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/106/1062898p1.html
"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."
This is the first game that I've actually requested three days off of work so that I can play it, and it looks like I won't regret that decision at all.

The IGN review is really vague and not particularly informative. It could have easily been written without having actually played the game.

I started doing that, then booted up Mass Effect 2 just to check it out and decided I won't be finishing the first one again(lost my save game). This one just plays a LOT better imo.
I agree, it does play better but there are things that bother me a lot so far. I hate how run, cover and use are all the spacebar. Running out of ammo really pisses me off at times.
I think it's pretty stupid that EA is going to charge people that buy the game used $15 to join the Cerberus Network. They already made their money when someone purchased the retail game, they shouldn't be after used game sales.

This is me
To be fair, the computer I was running it on at the time could not handle the Citadel city place at all. I should give it another go if I can find the time.
There's no winning side to this issue. On one side there's EA, and I sure as fuck don't support them being able to throw around big additional charges for doing essentially nothing. And it's another step towards the "everything as subscription" model (pretty soon you'll have to license your toothbrush monthly from Braun). On the other side there's Gamestop, which has pushed the used game racket so aggressively it seems almost deliberately malicious towards publishers/developers.
So I can understand and almost support it as an attempt to fight back against Gamestop, but ultimately... fuck all of them, before they fuck us.

i will pirate this game and i dont plan on buying it. hows that make some of you feel in here.
seriously get the fuck off the high horse and get over it.... people will always steal games because in the past so many games have STOLE our money with shitastic games.
i gave ME1 a solid go at it and never finished the game. i lost interest. Ill give 2 a go and maybe even 1 again if i get bored enough but i have no plans on buying this game from anywhere but the "store"
