Earlier this week, BioWare revealed that Mass Effect 2's downloadable content will be delivered via the in-game "Cerberus Network." Access to this network -- and the promised launch-day DLC -- is granted free via a one-time-use code included with each new copy of the game. BioWare was silent on what network access would cost to those who purchased the game used, but Bitmob.com has found out the answer: 1200 Microsoft Points ($15). The article also includes a look at the Cerberus Network membership card and screenshots from the network itself.
One of the best things about the Mas Effect series is the companions you meet along the way. So here is a tier list of all the companions from Mass Effect!
To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.
some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier
it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.

i'll be buying the collectors edition on launch day so i'll get the code included
Well, it's understandable that they want to diminish the used games market. Used games are a very significant amount of lost revenue from people willing to pay.
Good thing I have my pre-order paid off, though I just better make sure that the activation code is in there before I leave.
They can provide as much incentive as they want, but if the game sucks or is lacking in something, incentive doesn't do jack. Instead of trying to decrease the used market sales, why not just simply drop the price from $60 to something more reasonable. It's painfully obvious that $60 doesn't cut it with most people, hence why the used market exists.
The Game Industry spends millions on analysts to figure out problems with things like piracy and used game market when the answer is so simple, a fanboy could figure it out. If your game is good, people will buy it. If your game is good and priced right, people will buy it AND recommend it to others. A $30-40 Mass Effect 2 game sounds better to me than all the "incentives" out there.
damn, i won't be able to pick this up day one. oh well there's always the internet
