I thought I was the only one. What class did you pick? I picked the Vanguard and damn that class is bad ****.

 

Started up 2 more that I'll eventually finish with a Soldier and an Adept. The Adept is monstrous.

 

Vanguard...i was gonna go Soldier but figured it would be boring...got the max level charge that slows time...it's amazing.

Yeah I picked a soldier with another playthrough just cause I wanted to try the AR. But yes, it is more boring than Adept or Vanguard. Vanguard is my favorite one so far. Pull + charge is sick. lol. Did you get the claymore shotgun yet? That thing is brutal with the charge ability.

 

The Adept is monstrous, though, too. The warp ability is much better in the game. And pull or singularity + throw/warp/shockwave is devastating.

 

They're releasing some new free DLC in 2 weeks, too. Can't wait.

Gotta admit I am new to the gaming thing but finding myself with alot of extra time on my hands, my son has gotten me hooked on HALO. I am amazed seeing as the last video game I played was Madden 2000! And before that was PONG and Atari space invaders/missile control.

 

So tell about this Mass Effect? Is it similar? And is it on XBox 360?

Yeh, I think all in all it is a vast improvement on the original.

especially the introduction for the Paragon/Renegade actions during alot of cutscenes.

Similar to Halo? No. Not at all. It's an RPG which means there is a lot of exploration, dialog and downtime. Halo is a FPS with non stop action. If you have patience to play a slow paced game (although the combat is intense and there is lots of it, just far in between compared to Halo) with probably the best story in a video game,. pick it up. If you like pick up and play games where you can see just enough story to shoot something, this game isn't for you.

Yeah I was pissed cause I couldn't figure it out at first. But then I found out you needed to have it at 100% in order to fire it at all. I was all running up on a mech with it blowing smoke. lol.

 

Then on a side planet I tried it on nothing and it worked. Then I found out.

 

So did you get the claymore shotgun?

Oh yeh Deffo, Charging an opponent in slowmode and shooting the guy next to him with the claymore shotgun pretty much ends two people instantly.

do all classes get the slow mo power?

 

No. The Soldier has Adrenaline Rush which slows time and makes you more resistance to damage while in it.

 

The Vanguard has the charge ability which slows down time brielfy after you charge, knocks them into the air then you can hit them with the shotgun (or anything else but I recommend the shotgun)

 

Vanguard = funnest class but worst for highest difficulties

 

Sentinel = best for insanity run

I pre-ordered Mass Effect 2 and have yet to beat it' date=' (busy) im on the last level so ill prolly finish it tomorrow, so far its been pretty great although the missions are quite repetative, some characters backstorys just dont compell me enough, other than that amazing game.

 

BTW Vanguard FTW[/quote']

 

REally? I liked every character on my squad. They are the deepest characters I've ever seen in a video game and to be honest, I thought the mission variety was awesome. Did you do loyalty quests? Because those are the most varied missions in the game.

Tech Armor is the business, bro. Unlike fortification and barrier it doesn't run out with time and also unlike those it a ctually adds another layer.

 

You know how enemies have layers of health? IE Barrier, shields, health? When you use Barrier or Fortification you do not have layers, they simply replace shields (mainly used if shields are down and you need protection) and they run out with time even if no damage is inflicted on you.

 

Tech armor never goes away with time and it adds a 3rd layer to your health. Armor, Shields, health. And if you simply take cover the armor will regenerate and wont go away until completely brought down. Best thing ever for an insanity run. Plus it had warp and overload. Both great for fighting collectors.
