"The interactive comic "Dark Horse" which informs the player about the back story and offers various choices."

Wonder how it looked, if it's true...

sinncross5663d ago

Not too sure about the interactive comic part but I guess that is fine if it gets the whole 'choice' debacle over.

All the extra dlc is nice plus the new mission: I wonder if it will be a PS3 exclusive.

ABizzel15663d ago

I'd rather have a cutscene than a comic, but it's fine.

Red_Orange_Juice5663d ago (Edited 5663d ago )

I prefer interactive comic than a cutscene.

* A new mission for about six hours of play time :)

frostypants5663d ago (Edited 5663d ago )

The more they add, the better. Amazon has this listed as $59.99...while ME2 is only $19.99 for the 360. BUT, if they add all of the DLC plus some other content on top of that, it becomes a reasonable price.

Side note: I'm playing ME2 on the 360 right now. I'm not sure I like all the changes vs. ME1. In ME1, weapons never ran out of ammo...they just overheated. But now, I have to find clips of ammo and reload? And they changed a bunch of mappings. And the "feel" of the storytelling and ambiance are off a bit from ME1. Little but obvious inconsistencies like that make it not feel like not quite the same game universe. Oh well. Still fun.

Weaksauce11385662d ago

Let us not forget the eventual GOTY editions, they are a given.

EliteAssass1n5662d ago

Hopefully the 360 GOTY edition comes out at the same time.

How are you reading this? It's in a totally foreign language, I can't read anything

raztad5663d ago (Edited 5663d ago )

translate does a decent job

EDIT:

I think it is time to go back to my PC ME1 and play the game throughly. BioWare is good at storytelling. Just bought DA:O, looks like uprezed PS2 game, with awful framerate but is fun.

Mr_Bun5663d ago

You don't know what "Was kann man laut Greg Zeschuk erwarten" means? Besides, I can totally make out the words "Mass Effect 2" and "Playstation 3"

MariaHelFutura5663d ago

Whaa ?!?!

I`m ALL about "Was kann man laut Greg Zeschuk erwarten"

-Alpha5663d ago

Yeah but my page isn't translating...

Darkfiber5662d ago

Oh my God, this has to be the dumbest post of all time. Did you seriously just ask "How are people reading another language?" like it's impossible for someone to learn more than one language, and you make it sound as though you are almost surprised that you don't instantly and automatically understand the language, like you somehow expected to be able to read it even though you don't even know what it is. And with a name like that, you must be some stupid ignorant macho-wannabe d-bag. God I fucking hate Americans.

SephireX5662d ago

@Darkfiber
I get your point but seriously, we all can't have cool names such as "Darkfiber". If alpha wants to be an aplha male, then you must want to be dark fiber. Now I'm not saying that's a bad thing. Everyone has their issues but I think it is more probable that a man can become macho rather than turn into fiber wire. Another thing, I'm not from the USA and Americans aren't my favourite cup of tea either but I wouldn't hate all Americans just because one has a profile name I dislike on some website. If someone hates fiber wire, does that mean they hate you? For your sake, I hope not.

BeOneWithTheGun5662d ago (Edited 5662d ago )

Hey, asshole. See, he speaks English, posts quite often on N4G and was asking how his fellow English speaking kin are reading it since it is not translating for him. He wasn't just acting like some prick like you are. See, that is why Americans hate dick holes like you European trash. You jump the gun on everything and think anybody gives a flying rat's ass what the fuck you think.

If you read Alpha's posting history you will see he is very erudite and very balanced in his views and beliefs; hence the butt load of bubbles people have given him. So, why don't you go back to your loft in Prauge and drink your French Pinot and be the first person in your country to go to Dentist school.

PRICK.

Regards,

America.

-Alpha5662d ago (Edited 5662d ago )

@Darkfiber

I am assuming a vast majority here had the site translated into English. Mine was showing up in the original language, and I was asking how they were able to read it since they obviously had theirs translated. Everything you assumed of my character was your assumption based on your first false interpretation of what I said. I call myself Alpha-Male because I got it off a TV character and I liked to use when playing games.

Next time you try to call me out for being a tool make sure that:

a) I'm actually being a tool

and

b) that you don't make yourself look like a tool by making assumptions about others

Thirdly, I'm not from America, I'm from Canada.

That's, what, 3 facepalms?

poopface15663d ago

especially if it has all of that included. I have the kasumi/zaeed, overlord and lair of the shadow broker DLC, and those alone are more content than most games today. Including the cerburus DLC(mostly small waepons and missions) and the game itself, tahts alot of game.

Im excited about what the 6 hour mission might be, as it could be the next DLC. Ill buy it even if ps3 owners get it for free with the game next year. Why? because I love ME and it is one of the few games where I LOVE DLC for. making my favorite SP game longer, yes please.

If you have a ps3 and havent played this game you should defiantly check it out.

Domer255663d ago

Oh I will be picking this up. Wondering if they will tweak the visuals on this version.

djfullshred5663d ago

I'm getting it fo sho. It was a game that tempted me to buy a 360 because I wanted to play it...but I just don't want too many redundant devices. I'm glad I held out.

avengers19785663d ago

Thanks for giving the better version to PS3.

Sheikh Yerbouti5663d ago

Yeah. We get a (time) exclusive mission, but MS still has the first game. I already played it, but I would love to have my own Shepherd and abilities carry over from my buddy's 360.

But all these extras has definitely put me back in Bioware's graces.

gtamike5662d ago

thanks for the beta testing xbox 360 users :D

Weaksauce11385662d ago

We are all beta testing the GOTY edition anyway.

i just don't think they should get anything 360 owners paid for for free.

blusoops5663d ago

It's coming out a year later. If u buy anything a yr later after it came out it'll always be cheaper than what it was on launch day.

This is day one for me. I've always been interested in mass effect and now I get to play it.

Steffl3r5662d ago

I mean if they dont get Mass Effect 1 they should at least get that much. As a 360 only owner Im so bummed theyre not sending mass effect 1 over because everytime I wanna play it I have to start with the first one. Mass Effect is my absolute favorite game of all time and everyone should get to enjoy it. I really hope that eventually mass effect 1 gets ported, they secretly remake it for the mass effect 2 game or that everyone tha plays it gets to at least get to play the game in the first place. Mass Effect is a stunning game in parts but moreso in its entireity put together. Fingers crossed on the mass effect 1 port seeing as its a microsoft exclusive, but if anybody ever gets the chance I highly highly HIGHLY reccomend it.

scar205663d ago

PS3 it only does free dlc.

scar205663d ago

@rayz3d6ywolves shut up greg.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5663d ago

You know that Rayz3d6yW0lves is another multiple account to Troll, right?

ct035663d ago

PS3 it only does Mass Effect **2**. See what I did there?

MariaHelFutura5663d ago (Edited 5663d ago )

Foliage. LOL.

Who needs foliage when you got GT5 and LBP2? You have your foliage and I`ll keep my GT5/LBP2.

PS3 owners won't get to play it back when it released on the 360, nor will they get to play the original.

Maybe PS3 owners shouldn't be allowed to play online either since you pay for that?

Theoneneo815663d ago

Im assuming the 6hr is the bridge between 2-3 hopefully :)

Sheikh Yerbouti5663d ago (Edited 5663d ago )

That would be bad ass if that was the exclusive. That'd put Bioware back on my Christmas Card list. Keeping Mass Effect exclusive all this time was naughty, naughty, naughty!

Steffl3r5662d ago

They said theyd be doing that through multiple DLCs. Heres hoping, and Im really hoping we can get it as a DLC later on 360

djfullshred5663d ago

Just about all games are re-released with the DLC stuff on the disc eventually these days, regardless of platform.

Weaksauce11385662d ago

360 version is $20 and the PS3 version is $60. Nothing they get is worth $40 so how are they getting it for free?

DigitalRaptor5662d ago (Edited 5662d ago )

Mass Effect 2 on X360 might be $20 now, But at one time, it was $60. So many people who bought it probably bought it at near enough full price. So $60 + approx $25 DLC = $85.

PS3 version brand new will be $60 with $25 DLC included, so $60-25= $35

Even if a PS3 owner decides to pick up a copy when it's only $30, they will be getting a lot of value in the package they buy.

So basically, PS3 owners are not getting the raw end of the deal (besides having to wait for the game).

I hope us 360 owners get that new mission as well. PS3 owners are going to have a blast with this game, probably my game of the year for 2010.

Garrus_Vakarian5663d ago

There will be more DLC to come.

I'm guessing the next one will be announced in December, if not this month.

Mass Effect Companion Tier Ranking

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!

IAMRealHooman515d ago

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

anast515d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine515d 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.

anast515d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman514d ago

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

anast514d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave763d 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

DustMan763d ago

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

SimpleSlave762d ago (Edited 762d 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.
