Regardless of how you plan on playing it, the sheer amount of new media released today should suitably tide you over (at least in terms of time) until next Tuesday. Get a comfy chair -- it's gonna be a while.

Must... have... NOW! *runs off to build a time machine*

The game comes out in one week, I'm assuming building a time machine would take significantly longer than that.

Maybe you should freeze yourself in snow and hope you don't overshoot and get unfrozen in a future where you ride ostriches and fight evil atheist otters.

Or he can build one in the future and give a copy of Mass Effect 2 to his past self so that he'd now have it.
But then if he already had it, he wouldn't need the time machine....
And besides, who has time to build a time machine when you have Mass Effect 2....
Time travel befuddles me.

Seems to be a digital-only release for now. Amazon is charging a lot for it, though. At least iTunes is only 11.99.

Dudes, I've already pre-ordered the game like over a month ago, you don't need to keep advertising it to me!

These videos are very cool, however, they have been gradually released over at GT for the past couple weeks. They weren't all released on one day and it certainly wasn't today. Just a friendly notice. haha Other than that, these videos are awesome and I can barely wait this last week.

I think I'm more excited about ME2 than I was with MW2. Give me now!!!

Probably because ME2 is going to have an awesome campaign and MW2 was the most overrated game of 2009. Not to mention Bioware has done a fantastic job hyping the game and Infinity Ward killed their hype with all the pre launch arrogance. Just my thoughts.

Who needs alien sex when you can have Miranda.

Exactly. MW2 had so much negativity before its launch which goes back to the arrogance of Infinity Ward. Bioware has just crushed the damn thing PR wise.

Where is that Miranda gif from? I'm seriously hoping that's in the game. But I can't think of a plot reason for her to strip like that outside of a romance arc. The romance scenes are usually darkly lit with no obvious stripping too. ME2's darker feel includes more brightly lit "sex scenes"?
Seriously, where is that from? I'm almost ready to call it a shop, since the camera angles are so jerky.

How could that be photoshop? Its not magic, someone would have to manually paint each frame perfectly to do that in photoshop. Its from a scifi channel thing called "sci vs fi", its on youtube.

I saw the ad on (of all stations) the History Channel last night. Makes me want to finish up the first one already.

I'm getting it release day from Amazon, but I'm not playing it until I finish my ME1 playthrough. Well, maybe just a lil sample, to tide me over. (I say that NOW, but I'll be playing the crap out of it at gametime.)

This is going to be the longest week of my life :(
But knowing I'll be playing a masterpiece next week is uplifting.

If Mass Effect is good enough it'll get a video like this ...

I can hear it now ... Shep, Shep, Shep, Shep ...

You know what else ... I didn't even mention Uncharted 2 by name! HA! It was just meant to be a joke so stop being such an ole crunchy crab about it.

We've hit the effect of critical Mass with these trailers.

A bit off topic but does anyone know if ME2 will have bonus talents like the first one? I've looked at the achievements and there aren't anymore gun related achievements anymore, so I assume they won't have bonus talents for other classes after the first play through?
Posted: Jan 19th 2010 1:11PM philmcfail said
Yeah then I might as well play as the Vanguard then. I was thinking about playing soldier first to unlock the assault rifle but its nice that it isn't necessary (if it works that way) now I guess.
