I didn't preorder, but I'm going to get it. I've already completed Mass Effect (for the 360). My character was a Lv.41 Soldier when I finished, full Renegade and Paragon points. Also, in the game:

-I left Kaidan behind because Shepherd was in love with Ashley
-I didn't kill Wrex
-I got Saren to shoot himself when I faced him in the Citadel (saved me a really long drawn out battle)
-I killed Fist...myself.
-I got that one Turian guy on Noveria to confess (I also used the glitch for full Paragon and Renegade points. :3)

So....I think I'm set for Mass Effect 2. Too bad Ashley isn't in it. I would've kept her as a partner. I'll just go for that one bald chick. Boom chicka wah wah.

I'll definitely be getting this game. Maybe not the exact day it's released, but soon after. I really enjoyed the first one. Probably the only game where the silent protagonist isn't silent, if that makes any sense. :D

Beat the game a few hours ago ~ it's REALLY good! Was FemShep with a Romance with Kelly Chambers. It's quite short though; finished the first disk in about 16 hours and the second in about the same.
(btw definitely import your ME1 save or you won't even see Ash ;_; [tho that's assuming you didn't leave her to die])

 

[Samurai X]

Haven't preordered but I will probably get it. I liked Bioshock better than Mass Effect so I preordered that, Bioshock 2, instead.

 

[Façade1]

I can only assume the graphics are even nicer than the original? /me drools

Does anyone know the average play time?

 

[Bianca Paragon]

Took me about 35 hours to complete~
Disk swapping is weird, too; Disk 1 for 1/4 of the game, then the MIDDLE 1/2 is Disk 2, and then back to Disk 1 for the remainder of the finale

 

[Xebelleon]

I'll be getting it. Eventually.

I really like the Engineer in the first game. Sucks how it takes so long to get the skill usage scores. Especially the Tech ones. I'll eventually have an Engineer to import. Not sure whether I want to finish the first ME with an Engineer with Lift or Throw. Might switch to Infiltrator over the Engie.

So I've ordered ME2 along with Dragon Age. Should arrive by the time I'm done with my exams.

Legion is the epitome of robot moe.
Judging from trailers alone, it's a yandere, Shepard-obsessed mech with a gaping hole, right?

I just started playing yesterday and I think right now, I'm just before the last mission. (Not sure)

I didn't do all of the side quests, I'm just kinda speeding through it. I plan on getting more in-depth next playthrough. I actually didn't like the first one, I only got about 10 hours in. So because of that a lot of the stuff going on in this story confuses me, but the game is still really fun and addicting.

I didn't import anything from ME1 and I saw her at the colony.

 

[Akeraz]

ME2 looks alot more fun than ME1.
Don't get me wrong, ME1's a great game, I just find it hard to get into.
I probably will pick this up, but not until I've beaten the original.

I finished my first playthrough of the game, as a male Paragon, over the weekend and I'm currently working on a second playthrough as a female Renegade.

Took me about 35 hours to complete~

It was stated by a BioWare employee that they did that so the player wouldn't have to swap discs when they visited different areas in the game.

 

[thedestinedblade]

Good game. There are some annoying glitches though. :/ I really hope you'll be able to finally see Earth in the third one. Also, a new DLC character is coming soon as well. Hopefully we can actually converse with her unlike Zaeed.

 

[Calder]

Is it me or was ME2 alot shorter then ME1 was?

 

[Klippy]

Just finished my first playthrough. And man, oh, man...not the ending I wanted. XD

Spoiler:

I sorta knew that you could lose your teammates, but I was not happy I lost Thane. I took him and Garrus every step of the way and when Jack struggled with her biotics, I was hoping she'd go, since she wasn't even loyal to me at that point and when he got taken by the swarm, I literally thought about restarting the entire mission. XD; I was SO disappointed. He was my favorite character by far. Then I ended up losing Jack, Zaeed and Legion too, which sucked cause I'd have rather lost Mordin and Samara, since they aren't nearly my favorites. ): But whatever.

Planning to start the first game up again and begin my Renegade storyline. I played Paragon the first time, entirely, so now it's time to be bad. :)

 

[Calder]

I know the perfect way to survive for the achievement keeping your teammates alive, I had everyone loyal the first play though and was sad I didn't save them all, now on Insanity I will get them all Loyal. REALLY SAD THAT YOU CANNOT CHANGE CLASSES USING AN IMPORTED ME2 CHARACTER YOU BEAT THE GAME WITH!

DON'T PUSH THIS BUTTON UNLESS YOU ARE DONE WITH THE GAME AND MISSED IT OR YOU DON'T CARE, YOU WERE WARNED!

Spoiler:

GET EVERYONE LOYAL TO YOU
Engineer: Tali
Leader of Team B: Miranda
Send Back: Whoever, I picked Jack
Bionic: Samara
Leader of Team B: Miranda

I'm pretty sure I got it all, but if I missed something let me know

 

[Klippy]

Spoiler:

I think the sacrifices really make the game hit home though. Especially if you spend a lot of time talking to each team member like I had done. It's just worse to see one go down and like I said, Thane's death crushed me, since he's one of my favorite characters.

 

[Alex_]

Thane was going to die either way. :b Didn't he have a terminal disease or am I thinking someone else?

 

[Klippy]

Yeah, but still. It affects what happens in ME3, which kinda bothers me. XD; I was hoping to see him there. But...maybe during my Renegade storyline, I'll find a way to save everyone. Even though I will want to carry over my Paragon Shepard before I'd bring over my Renegade one.

I just told you how to save everyone lol
