  • gillri #2 2 years ago

    cool will play through ME2 a third time, after I play as a woman character on ME1 to carry over to ME2 and getting the vehicle DLC and this


  • Quint2020 #3 2 years ago

    Can you pork her?

  • Yossarian #4 2 years ago

    If she's anything like Zaeed, you'll barely be able to speak to her.

  • PlugMonkey #5 2 years ago

    @Quint2020: Another target for my Zapp Brannigan playthrough?

  • menage #6 2 years ago

    I'll buy this. I love how they're expanding on this game.

  • tachometer #7 2 years ago

    Goto....is that a reference to the evil droid in KOTOR 2?

  • telboy007 #8 2 years ago

    Evil jedi! Run away!!!!

  • MaxHughes #9 2 years ago

    I assume this will be free for those that have the Cerberus Network?

  • BobsUncle #10 2 years ago

    "How can we make a load of cash from DLC",

    "errr... how about a fit chick with big tits in a skin tight suit"

    "But they have Miranda"

    "Ok, bigger tits and a skin tight suit"

  • kangarootoo #11 2 years ago

    @MaxHughes

    Unlikely, or there wouldn't be a price of 560 MSP on it. None of the free content so far has had a non-cerberus network cost. If you want it, you just buy network access for 1200 MSP.

  • BobsUncle #12 2 years ago

    "I assume this will be free for those that have the Cerberus Network? "

    Sorry,

    Article sub heading: "Meet Kasumi Goto, who costs 560 MSP."

  • Shrike #13 2 years ago

    She also looks quite a bit like Vishas Marr, to add to the pile of KOTOR 2 references. 560 MSP seems pretty reasonable: I was expecting 800.

  • jonbwfc #14 2 years ago

    For those of us with the PC version, how much is that in real money?

  • Shrike #15 2 years ago

    Assuming that it'll be the same amount of BioWare points (which I think is true of the Dragon Age DLC), £4.33.

  • menage #16 2 years ago

    Well, women were underdeveloped in ME:D

    Ok bad joke.

  • Moribundman #17 2 years ago

    If you think about what Cerberus Network gets you - an extra fully integrated character, a vehicle and (presumably the first 5 of many) associated missions, an additional suit of armour and (to date) three extra weapons, I'd say that's well worth 1200 MSP once the 2nd hand price goes down if you didn't get the game new (certainly better proportional value than DA:Awakenings).

    560msp for a substantial extra mission, a new heavy weapon, research option AND a fully integrated character that you can play through with from start to finish is a hell of a lot better than most other DLC. It's certainly better value than the costumes (which I will probably end up getting...)

  • kangarootoo #18 2 years ago

    Anyway, just finished ME2 this weekend. Very good, though I have mixed feelings about the final battle.

    Also not mad keen on its "Kill 25 enemies by scalding them with a teapot, Kill 25 enemies by encouraging them to drive recklessly, etc" achievements.

    But overall a really great game. I probably will play it through again, though with ME1 I started a second play through immediately, which i was not inclined to do in this instance (though I did have Bioshock 2 sat waiting, which probably skewed the results).

  • gillri #19 2 years ago

    to Shrike


    depends I get rmy points retail online through deals, rather than through Xbox live

    xbox live prices mean around £4.50,

  • TeaFiend #20 2 years ago

    Oh no! sevenTEEN pennies!

  • Weezer #21 2 years ago

    Kangarootoo - I don't have mixed feeling about final battle: it was shit. I think it marred what was an otherwise stellar game. (Also, what's the deal with blowing up the ship and getting Renegade points? Surely I was doing the 'right' thing?)

  • darleysam #22 2 years ago

    Well if I'm honest, the massive rack kinda puts me off. What happened to the class, BioWare?

  • GaryHoward #23 2 years ago

    Another dlc that expands on the Insane difficulty walkthrough I am going to do in the Easter holidays. I want to use my female Sentinel and also hoping for a bit of lesbian action with Kasumi although I doubt it and if you could, it would be more engaging than a night-in with Garrus - bless the frigid Turian.

  • menage #24 2 years ago

    @darleysam

    So women can't have a massive rack now? It's reversed Ausralia!

  • darleysam #25 2 years ago

    Yes, that is exactly what I said.

    Well okay, let me clarify. The unfeasibly huge rack in a game already beset by women with unfeasibly huge racks, accompanied by shameless nerdbait characters, is sadly degrading the otherwise high quality that had been on offer. She looks pretty hot, can you pork her, fit chick with big tits. I love Mass Effect 1 and 2, but it's getting more and more obvious that they're trying to cram as much sexual tension into the games.

    Who will you bang?

  • Shrike #26 2 years ago

    @gillri

    I was answering the question about PC cost, which given that it'll probably cost BioWare points - which afaik you can't buy in shops - will be a flat rate of £4.33.

    @kangarooto

    The last mission of ME2 is something that has grown on me with time and repeat play. It isn't the departure from the game's tone/themes that I initially felt it was, but it doesn't broadcast its intent very well. It also makes a mistake that BioWare doesn't make very often, which is botching the design of the human reaper. The original concept art, where it looks like a cross between a foetus and a squid is far more unsettling, which I think is what they were going for.

  • menage #27 2 years ago

    @darleysam

    I get it though, I even kinda agree, but in a space marine universe I'm not that surprised. Femshep, Jack and Skahwas (?) don't have those kinds of assets so i don't mind another Miranda.

    I also don't think of women with large racks as lesser women. It would be kind of weird to only put in small chested women because it makes the game suddenly more literate. If I look in my personal surrounding lot's of girls have bigger breasts instead of small ones. That's not a joke, just an observation.

    I'm sure it's meant to pull some crowds, I'll give you that. but I don't see it as particulary bad form to give strong women some more cleavage. Lot's of women act that way themselves. It's the way they act and are functioning in the gameworld which sets it apart from the GTA's for me.

    Pokemasseffect: gotta bang 'em all...

  • Lamb #29 2 years ago

    So is she half Quarian? Judging from the skin tight outfit similar to Tali Vas Normandy and lack of atmospheric mask.

    @Kangarootoo you are slow it took me less than a week to complete that game! :P

  • Madder-Max #30 2 years ago

    the last mission is bollocks. ME2 is great if you are a moron (compared to ME1).

  • alcides #31 2 years ago

    can you have sex with her or is that extra?

  • Moribundman #32 2 years ago

    @alcides 800MSP extra... round the back... (Pulls curtain. Gestures inward.)

  • Bertie Verified Senior Staff Writer, Eurogamer.net #33 2 years ago

    Assuming that it'll be the same amount of BioWare points (which I think is true of the Dragon Age DLC), £4.33.

    It is, yeah. Hi :)

  • menage #34 2 years ago

    I'm a moron.

    and someone just got ignored again.

  • kangarootoo #35 2 years ago

    @Weezer

    Spoiler tags dude! :)

    I blew up the ship and I can't recall whether I got paragon or renegade points. The option to blow up the ship was in the paragon position on the discussion hub thing, so maybe you got the points for something else you did. Did everyone survive? Did you get there in time to keep Kelly alive?

    @Shrike and Weezer.

    More tags :)

    The end battle just felt too much like an old school boss battle to me. Waves of enemies, weak points, unexpected revival of beastie after we thought it was dead... it wasn't really what I expected given the epic ending to ME1 (which had a bit of a boss battle, but it wasn't presented in the same way). I also agree that giant terminator robot was about as scary as a sock puppet in a batman mask. It didn't ruin the ending for me and the whole "phew" factor was still there when everything concluded. It will be interesting to see how the final decision affects ME3.

  • kangarootoo #36 2 years ago

    @Lamb

    I can't spare the time for gaming like I used to. I'm "lucky" if I get 4 hours a week these days :)

  • kangarootoo #37 2 years ago

    On the subject of romantic liasons in ME1 and 2, I didn't bother with them in ME1 as the contrived trawling of dialogue trees just felt like a waste of my time. I did pursue a couple of ME2, but I wonder if I would have bothered had there not been an achivement? Actually, I probably would as I found the Jack character quite interesting (though in the end I switched to Miranda, hollow soul that I am). I thought the Jack reaction was quite well done though ( I told her she didn't need me, she understandably got annoyed at the feeble fob off, and from then on she wouldn't converse with me, instead telling me to "Fuck off!" in no uncertain terms. I thought that was simple but well done.

    Anyway, overall I felt the romantic situations weren't done that well. It pretty soon became clear that following certain dialogue options meant that at a certain key point in the game, clothing (only a bit mind) would be removed. Now some parts of the game generated genuine emotions in me (Mouse's desperate plea to Thane for help after I pushed him to the floor and held my foot on his neck made me feel genuinely horrible - I actually reloaded and chose the nicer route to "undo" my terrible act, even though I knew of course it was just fiction. Maybe I'm feeling broody and a paternal sense in my was deeply offended :)), but the romantic pursuits felt more like a talky version of whack-a-mole, save for a sparse few sections of Jack (one of only two characters with any depth really, the other being Thane) dialogue, which I thought were well written and acted.

    Great game overall, but the romantic side of things seemed to me to be 90% achievement hunting, 5% chasing the chance of seeing some polygonal side-boob, and 5% romantic feeling.

  • Cherub007 #38 2 years ago

    First things first, I am an idiot, having successfully managed to put the wrong guy on the council at the end of ME1 and then somehow elected to carry on at the end of ME2 when I wanted to start my second playthrough (I hope none of that counts as a spoiler as I've forgotten how to do the tags).

    Anyone know how I can change the decision?

  • hiddenranbir #39 2 years ago

    She's so MYSTERIOUS!

  • kangarootoo #40 2 years ago

    @Cherub007

    Can you not still choose New Game and import an existing ME2 character? Surely choosing carry on doesn't fate you to wander the universe forever (or until ME3 comes out). I chose carry on, but haven't looked for other options yet. It would be mental if there were no way to play a new game with your existing charadcter after that one decision.

  • Cherub007 #41 2 years ago

    @Kangarootoo

    Thanks for the advice. I'll give it another look tonight but I tried doing something like that and it wouldn't let me do anything other than the save games after I'd made the fateful decision. I've got saves from before I did the final boss, though, so I may just go back to them.

    For the record, I racked up something like 42 hours doing the one complete playthrough on Veteran. I'm (obviously) no great shakes as a gamer, and I did spend something like three consecutive evenings trying to get out of one goddamn room, but that's some pretty good value for money right there.

  • kangarootoo #42 2 years ago

    @Cherub007

    Ah, I believe character import only works with save games made after ME1 game completion. I had two characters, and was confused until I reliased that only the one that I had finished the game with was visible.

    Bearing that in mind, maybe I am wrong about being able to start a new ME2 game using the same ME2 character if you choose the continue option, as technically the game is not "complete"... but that would be rubbish, so I hope not.

  • jonfon #43 2 years ago

    Oooh, a busty chick with biotics in a skimpy outfit. About time! There is a serious shortage of these in ME2 at the mo!

    Much as I love ME2 do we really need every female member of the team to look like a porn actress* (or is that a dumb question on a Gamers forum?)

    (*Honourable exception to Tali of course)

  • muscleblade #44 2 years ago

    @kangarootoo

    I thouth ME2 had the perfect achievement list.

  • s3y3 #45 2 years ago

    well if it isn't Darth Kasumi Goto.

  • HenryFitz #46 2 years ago

    Her breasts aren't that big, they're just pronounced because of the protective corset she's wearing and the skintight battle suit. Obviously it would be more realistic if women (and female aliens) in the future were still struggling with an inherited puritanical abhorrence of their sexual characteristics and even went into battle wearing cumbersome, baggy floral dresses or amorphous sweat-suits, but Bioware have dared to dream and should be forgiven their occasional forays into incredibility.

  • jonfon #47 2 years ago

    @HenryFitz "Obviously it would be more realistic if women (and female aliens) in the future were still struggling with an inherited puritanical abhorrence of their sexual characteristics and even went into battle wearing cumbersome, baggy floral dresses or amorphous sweat-suits, but Bioware have dared to dream and should be forgiven their occasional forays into incredibility."

    :)

    Or maybe even a suit of powered armour or something, since they happen to be running into battle and all. Ashley and my Shepard managed it, why can't at least 1 of them manage it in ME2?

    But Jack and her ridiculous little tank top, Mirandas daft T&A catsuit and the Asari whom I renamed to to Eyes Up Here are a tad silly running into combat like that. And then along comes another one to the booty party... All I need now is some mud...

    I love ME2 but agree with @darleysam, at the moment I get the feeling they're pandering. If they'd added a female Salurian or Krogan I bet she'd have ended up in a catsuit with a massive rack too.
