You know pirates can compress things like magicians. That must have been a rip without the setup.exe right?

My pirated Mass Effect is 7.xgb but Steam one is 10gb. I believe the retail one is compressed also to fit on dvd9.

Still need to install. My TF 2 and L4D1 also need to install but that one I got the discs.

Added on January 23, 2010, 2:05 pmI just finished watching IGN's video review of ME2. Wah, I'm damn hyped up for the game liao. Just have to finish ME1 . Good game but play it too many times and you will hate it.

Btw, did they minus points for being 'overly referential'? I would love more references to ME1, screw people who didn't play it.

It will be a better experience if ME1 is completed though.

If I get my CE fast I'll do another unboxing. I think I figured out how to make everything not so washed out with my camera.

Darn. Just about to run through X57 so I can hit Virmire then the general protection fault crash. Bahh.

Which part do you have problems with?

Ahhh finally finished my save. Lvl 50. Not bad but I remember I got higher last time. Too bad I can't get my quad core in time .

Correct. The devs already confirmed it. Anyway, ME2's user inferface, etc. is all customize for pc so we get the best experience on keyboard and mouse. That's apparently why they didn't include controller compatibility.

Added on January 24, 2010, 12:06 amAh what to do when you can't wait for ME2 to launch (and you don't pirate )? The answer? Rewatch the trailers!

A compilation of the 'best' trailers for ME2.

Don't go into the BioWare forums for a while. It's a spoiler landmine field. Can't these pirates just shut up and disappear?

It wouldn't be so bad (ok yes it would) if they just shut up but they keep parading the fact around and post spoilers. Some are ori owners who got lucky but most are pirates I'll bet.

Added on January 24, 2010, 2:45 pmA few spoilers (both ME1 and very tiny bit of ME2)

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage....&topic=53186748

Basically someone outlining the bad points of the game. Only the bad points. Hmm it put down my hype for a bit.

I feel kinda let down too but time will tell how good this game is. I won't really put all my trust in that guy's post.

I'm also getting a quad core for this among other things and I got a new hdd last year for DA and this.

I'm a hardcore ME fan so I'll probably notice everything right away. I just hope it's worth it.

Added on January 24, 2010, 4:14 pmThere is some bloody idiot posting spoilers on the ME2 forums. Gahh. I hope they're not true!! Bloody pirate or just some brainless idiot who got the game early!!

I got to enjoy 10% warning for 6 months.

Now I say, BURN THOSE PIRATES!

Added on January 24, 2010, 5:19 pmYou also asked tsb to post to you ar?

This Tuesday, 26th Jan. Standard is rm129, Collectors' is rm209.

Added on January 24, 2010, 5:57 pmBtw, there is a total of 3 confirmed dlc for ME2.

The bounty hunter Zaeed Massani
Hammerhead vehicle
Normandy crash site (a bit like Return to Ostagar tbh)

This post has been edited by secondrate: Jan 24 2010, 05:57 PM

I definitely will . Mako will be replaced by the Hammerhead, a hover tank I think.

Sigh... I shouldn't have read those threads. Really lowered my hype level which was about to explode considering I've been waiting for 2 years.

Somehow one negative point makes 10 positive points disappear.

Nah, that guy got it from Pbbseller who's prices are lower.

Added on January 25, 2010, 1:55 pmI'm also wondering when tsb will send my preorder.

As for those who didn't think Cerberus wouldn't be involved majorly, did you read Ascension? There is another novel coming out also, Retribution which continues the Cerberus storyline.

I finished the game on Insanity before. Not too hard and I was Soldier all the way. It's so fun to switch from assault rifle to shotgun then to sniper to take down all the baddies.

Yeah I know . But Insanity is so stupid. All the Krogan like to use immunity and take so long to kill them. I prefer veteran or hardcore.

Added on January 25, 2010, 3:47 pmOMG!!! -jumps around-

I checked tsb at around 2pm, nothing. Then I checked just now and suddenly got 2090 gamerpoints in my account. I went to the order history and my ME2 CE was at 'completed'. WAHHH!!! I have the PosLaju code!!

I might get it tomorrow!! Release day!!!

Yeah... ignore all the !!! just too excited.

I hope Wrex has a bigger role than just a cameo. He has some of the best lines with his deadpan way of speaking. Wrex isn't a savage Krogan, he's smart. Grunt seems like the typical all brawn no brains guy.

I'm thinking longer than ME1 but shorter than Dragon Age. But I don't know, those pirates claim to have finished it and it's been 4 days since it was leaked and released on torrents.

I had one ME career go up to 100 hours. How? I have no idea. My most recent save that I'm importing (after the whole disaster last year that made me lose my ME saves) is only 30 hours long.

Ignore my Steam profile, 19 hours on the Steam copy, 11 hours on the pirated

Added on January 25, 2010, 8:16 pmPosLaju has never failed me. I hope this isn't the first time. And my mum will be home the whole day. No worries about that horrifying little slip of paper telling me to go to Jalan 222 to collect it.
