How Importing a Mass Effect Save Affects Your Mass Effect 2 Experience

Last month Bitmob tried to pry some information out of BioWare co-founder Dr. Ray Muzyka on how Mass Effect 2 would interact with your Mass Effect 1 game saves. His response, while tantalizing, was short on details. Now that Bitmob has a retail copy of the game, they can take you step-by-step how the import process works -- and tell you precisely what bonuses you can expect to receive for completing the first game.

This is a really cool feature. Those bonuses seem like a pretty nice reward. I really should go back and finish the first game - it seems worth it.

Wow someone created an account just for this? N4G shall be fun in the months to follow then with all the other games coming out.

Anyway, yeah I would say finish the game bearsfaan; but all of this can be gaining easily in the game anyway. At least credit wise I've been hacking a few things and got at least 5,000 from some ( or maybe it was 3,000 ) either way the hacking part is at least fun as a mini-game purpose and you get rewarded. Leveling though, I guess it kind of helps :p.

Raf1k15876d ago

Yeah the hacking mini games are pretty cool. An improvement over the previous which wasn't bad in any way.

bbretterson5876d ago

Definitely finish up the game, bearsfaan. Not just for the goodies -- it's a damn fine story, too!

Nihilism5876d ago

That really sucks that the game automatically decides that the citadel was disbanded if you don't continue a save game, I don't have any complete saves kept. But I have intention of playing the douchebag route in the story where humans rule the galaxy...

Myst5876d ago (Edited 5876d ago )

Wow I actually put 'gaining' instead of 'gained' jeez I'm slipping a bit. Yeah Raf1k1, though the previous ones were super easy, the ones we have now seem to be more fun than anything else, then again it may wear down a bit ( at least for me ) after my 10th play through or something :p.

Also I agree with what bbretterson has stated.

If only I still had my save game file.

bearsfaan5876d ago

My 360 with my original game save (about 5-6 hours in) got stolen last year. I'd have to totally start over. I guess I can't complain about needing to play an (older) awesome game so I can go play another awesome game.

divideby05876d ago

Just wished that my 2nd 360 didnt go RROD and lost the save.
I tried to backup with a usb flash drive and it didnt work.

My 3rd 360 I just hope can stay alive for this game, which I bought today

JasonPC360PS3Wii5876d ago

Everyone knows you don't own a 360, nice try though.

HDgamer5876d ago

Just get the Superior PC version and it's the perfect 360 emulator.

divideby05876d ago (Edited 5876d ago )

I was gonna buy the PC version, but opt'd not to since BB didnt stock it. It had to be preordered...

JasonPC360PS3Wii5876d ago

"Just get the Superior Windows PC version and it's the perfect 360 counterpart."

Fixed... have a good day :)

HDgamer5875d ago

Nah PC > All. Which is why if I wanted High quality without loading times I would get the pc while you're stuck with 2 discs and both are scratched.

elpresador5875d ago

...if one is like myself and others and played the first on the 360 with save files why the hell would we go for the PC version since there is no way to import a save file from a 360 to a PC?

Also, have you, I dunno, PLAYED the 360 version? I gotta say, though on PC some things may be minorly cleaned up but, it looks awesome as hell on the 360 and load times are next to nothing.

No, why dont you go to the store and buy yet another $500 gfx card that we all know pc gamers upgrade like 5 times a year and leave us alone.

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast444d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine444d ago

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.

anast444d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman444d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast444d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman444d ago

it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me

SimpleSlave692d ago

"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

DustMan692d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave692d ago (Edited 692d ago )

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.
