So with inFamous 2 on tuesday, and playing through the game twice..I have decided to put my Insanity run through of Mass Effect 2 on hold, probably untill I beat infamous 2 once or twice, you know good and bad side stories.
SO I am putting the Normandy to dock, but I will pick it back up so I can beat it before mass Effect 3 comes out.

Renegade for life and Whoring trophys to save the galaxy
So I got around to finishing my 2nd play through of Mass Effect 2, all renegade..and I took the fuck you option at the end and blew up the Collector base.
So since I enjoy sniping people so much, it fun to watch them flip over and it's just old theapry to lighten my mood..I decided to play through again but this time going for the Insanity trophy and any other that I missed, because at the end of 2nd play through I was missing like 4 trophys:
The Platinum one
Insanity
Brawler
the dual biotic one (which last night I got)
Also I deleted my female paragon save..mostly because I never like her voice, she sounded like a butch lesbian, which I guess is the right role for a female military grunt to save the universe..but still it got annoying..
So that just now leaves 3 to get..and I saw a video how to get the brawler one really really easy at the start of the game, so I can do that in like an hour or so..so that just leaves Insanity and duh the Platinum..
SO far I am doing ok all things being considered..expect with those damn flame thrower guys..fuck I hate those guys..they just ninja up on you and kill you in 2 hits..since you can run..
So I hope I can just power through the Insanity mode and finish it out..wish me luck

Oh the choice an Infiltrator must make
So I am inside the Collector ship and I got to where I can choose to get 3 weapons. As an Infiltrator I can choose:
Assault Rifle Training
Shotgun Training
M-98
Well shotguns are dumb since i am a long range choice, and I am doing good with my SMG's so i don't need the assault rifle. So it is time to get my baby the M-98 widow back.
I missed you baby..

Renegade for life..or at least the 2nd play through
So I started my new game plus on Mass Effect 2. And decided to be a guy, and work the Renegade Jerk off Badass side. But what class should I be, that was easy given my previous play through. I went with an Infiltrator, which makes sniping so much more fun thanks to passive skills and Tactical Cloak. I also took Armor Piercing rounds as my carry over starter skill, those and disruptor rounds you can kill pretty much anything.
So the 2nd time through I upped the difficulty to the 2nd hardest setting, and I was doing good till I got to the "arm the colony guns" part of the Horizon mission. And kept getting my ass kicked in under a a minute, so I dropped it back one level and kicked ass. Currently I am on the "Veteran" difficulty, and hunting for my 2nd round of team mates. Having alot of fun this time, but I miss my M-89 widow sniper rifle, I can't wait to get that back.
Also been listening to OCRemix of Morning Thinks from Armored core. Morning Thinker while typing this.
So now I will have 2 different experiences when playing Mass Effect 3. Kinda cool.

Mass Effect 2 my take on it
Sorry for the delay, reality and all settling in. But I have time to take a look at Mass Effect 2. Having Team Four Star Plays on a side window thing.
First off, you should watch Yahtzee's take on Mass Effect 2, it was pretty accurate.
This will be a PS3 take, but it doesn't matter expect for what buttons you play, and I know alot of people have done this game, but the PS3 version came out later. Anyway. I will try to make this as spioler free as possible.
At the start, you play through some intro stage, then after some plot you get to choose your face and class, so since this is my first time doing this game i went with a Soilder class, a female (hoping for lesbian action since both Dragon Age's had them), and gave my self black/gray hair. Then I set off to save the universe. Thanks to the PS3, I got to get a kick ass interactive comic Dark Horse that went off the happenings of Mass Effect 1, you make some of the bigger decisions, then set into the real game.
Now you go off doing missions to recurit your standard RPG party, people who have no connections to you but after you do something the magically join you. They all have different powers more or less, but under 3 sub types:
Combat: different types of "bullets"
Biotic: Mass Effect take on psychic powers
Tech: summons drones, robot hacking.
Each character has 3 powers, 1 of them is unlocked by leveling up one of the skills. Then there is a 4th skill they get after you after a "loyalty mission", missins that make them forget their problems and focus on helping you.
So as I went along with killing everything that moved, I noticed quickly out of the 5 weapons I had since that is a Solider class skill- access to all weaponry, I only really used 2. The assault rifle and the sniper rifle. Since the enemies are either really really far away or right in your face.
More on weapons:
There are 5 weapons in the games:
Assault Rifle
Sniper Rifle
Shotgun
Pistol
Sub Machine Gun.
SO my solider class got all of them. Seriously I used the starter Assault rifle, since it had the most ammo. Then the starter sniper rifle, then in 1 mission you get a choice between 3 super power weapons, I choose the super power sniper rifle, literally it was one hit killing everything.
Upgrading weapons is so much easier in this than every other RPG ever! Since you just upgrade weapons instead of having to buy newer and newer ones, and there are like 5 or 6 sets of armor, most get sent to you from DLC, like 2 sets you buy in a store. I started with the Blood Dragon Armor from Dragon Age 1, then upgrade to a armor that super powers your shields, which are the most important things since you will get shot alot. You buy, find, are given, or loot upgrades as you wandering along the universe. Now to afford these upgrades, you need to mine for minerals on planets- which is horribly boring, like watching the weather channel boring. I found it hard to find one of them Element Zero, since it is rare, so I used this guide here, Element Zero hunting guide. It is easy but boringing as all get out.
Good or Evil
It's not really good or evil per-say, more like are you going to be a good guy or a jerk wad to everyone, there are also trigger during convos that you can trigger good or jerk motions to get more points in the meters. You can also negotiate or threaten people for stuff and discounts at stores. But its easy to tell on the talky wheels. Up for Good, down for Jerk.
Fan Service:
There is like no naughty fan service, like in Dragon Age, this is all done off screen, or at least the play through with the guy I choose, oh no lesbian fun, what a drag I wanted yuri. But there is a crazy strip tease if you work your mojo with a female character, it will happen no matter what gender doesn't matter. But I find it cool that you get a "Space Hamster", difference between a normal and a space hamster, is a space hamster can survive going faster than light.
Trophy Hunting:
The majority of the trophies you ncan get..I mean like 80% or so of them you can get without really even trying, just play the game, head shot, kill people, do the loyality missions, And you will be fine, lost on trophies Trophy Guide. Now the 2 hardest ones are playing on the Hardest Difficulty setting. The other is much much harder, you must set alot of things in motion, have alot of loyal team members and make the right choices. Me, I followed this guide here Suscide Mission Flow Chart. Follow that to the letter and you will get the gold trophy. Which I did get, so it is possible to get by following the guide.
New Game Plus:
So on a new game plus you can important you previous character. You start at your currently level, 200K in cash, 50K of the four resources, but you can't change class. But if you restart your game, you get all the bonuses, which is a nice reward for starting over.
Dislikes:
So I didn't like everything to this game. The things that bugged me about this game:
Money can be hard to come buy and every thing is expensive
The Final boss stage was harder than the actual Final boss.
So many weapon options but just using two for the whole game.
Farming for minerals
The standard Bioware, "no expression face" when talking
Not really huge problems, but enough to annoy me. Anyway I was very happy with this game, it gave me everything I expect from it, it was challenge but fun at the same time, and the PS3 version was nice to people who never played the first game. So I am truly excited for Mass Effect 3 and to see how my decision in 2 will effect 3. Something I am not excited for is the rumored Mass Effect MMO. I hate MMO's, since most players are dicks..but I am not going on that rant.
Anything anyone else want to chat about..? Comment.. =)

almost done with mass effect 2
So I was going to do a Mass Effect 2, into the game post. But I have realized how close I am to finishing the game, that I am just going to finish it, then write about it.
Sorry for the lack of gaming, but this game despite some minor annoyances is pretty good.
Depending on work, it shouldn't take for than 1/2 a week.

Mass effect 2 mission: controller
This is from my blog before it died, where I talked about console vs pc games: Console VS PC gaming
So I played my free copy of Mass Effect 2 last night, excited to see what it was about and all of that.
So I first off looked at a way to play the game with a console, and found a cool file that allows the game to be played with an xbox controller, thats find an all but I don't own an xbox controller, so i found something else to emulate my PS3 controller as a xbox controller..but I couldn't get it to work, so sad so very very sad.
SO i reset it and set my self to have to play the game with PC controls. I hate pc controls, it may be that I am on a laptop or it may be that I am not as muti hand talented as I thought I am. After fighting with the first puzzle, I reset the movement controls from W/S/A/D, to the arrow keys, and that made it even harder to play.
So I turned it off and went to bed. But it makes me want to buy it and play it on my PlayStation 3, with much easier controller/

Mass Effect 2 for free
So yesterday EA.BioWare sent out a news letter to everyone who had signed up for the EA/BioWare/Dragon Age 2 news letter and giving away a free copy of Mass Effect 2, which is kinda bad ass. But it is only the PC version, not any of the console version. Which pissed me off considering Mass Effect 2 doesn't have console support and, I just hate console games- different post, coming soon.
I've been wanting to play some kind of demo to see if I would really like it because I keep getting told, "If you love Dragon Age 2, you will love Mass effect 2". And that is mostly true, after playing for the first little while, I was enjoying the game, reminds me of Dragon Age 2 but with the whole future feel instead. It was kinda cool.
After waiting 7hours for the 11 gigs to download, I set out to play, and as I said earlier I enjoyed the future feel to it, but I was annoyed by the controls.
Anyway if you wanted to try it make sure you download it now.
