Mass Effect 2 Chat Thread

79
If you're in North America, hopefully you got to spend the evening wining and dining Mass Effect 2, thrilling it with a well-stocked cheeseboard--how's your romance going?

How do Garnett's first impressions stack up against your own? Which class did you settle on in the end? Who are your favourite party members so far?

Me, I'm still waiting for Mass Effect 2 to come out, hopefully never checking this thread. Do remember you can hide spoilers in your posts by o[enclosing them in Shacktags like this]o. Those who are not as far in the game as you will be awfully grateful. And for reference, all our pre-release coverage is under the handy Mass Effect 2 tag

        look back. do you really think that releasing a video that reveals a worthless npc in the game is the front page news? it's like reading in the guardian which shoes Obama wore.

          All gaming sites have been releasing these news about clips about NPC's and whatnot, some more, some less. ME2 is very anticipated and people want to read about it. I see nothing wrong with this.

      How dare a gaming news website report on big gaming news. Sellouts!

      It's so Alice doesn't have as many spoilers to dodge in the latestchatty.

      Shacknews used to have similar threads all the time for big releases so Shackers could chat it up together in their own safe little place. The tradition fell out of practice--I think the whopping twenty-one days of Oblivion threads blew everyone out--but it was a good one so we're giving it another shot.

            Has that one been broken? In terms of # of posts in a single thread?

            Of course, I remember there were dedicated Oblivion threads daily for like a month.
