Beyond that, I would say there is no real reason to pick up the collector&#39;s edition of Mass Effect 2. That said, I am probably going to pick up the PC version of the collector&#39;s edition on Steam sooner than later....just waiting for one of their sales to come up. </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/mass-effect-is-making-me-fecking-batty/page/2#post-3101 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 18:55:12 +0000 Stephen Munn 3101@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>I managed to counter everything he said in a way he couldn&#39;t really slant.

I see there&#39;s a Collector&#39;s Edition out there, but in order to get a new copy (with all the codes) for a reasonable price, it has to be the PC version. While I&#39;m confident it will run just fine on my iMac using Windows XP in Bootcamp, I&#39;d much rather play it on my TV using a controller. There is a cable I can order to do this, sure, but it seems like a hassle.</p> <p>Is the Collector&#39;s Edition worth all that trouble? The price difference I&#39;m talking about is me being able to get the PC Collector&#39;s Edition new for $60, vs the regular 360 version for $50, vs the 360 Collector&#39;s Edition for $120. </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/mass-effect-is-making-me-fecking-batty/page/2#post-3091 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 16:39:19 +0000 Stephen Munn 3091@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>You punched the reporter?

I am always one for pouring points into charisma based skills. Talking your way out of battles is just too much fun.

Wrex was awesome. When the situation comes up and there isn&#39;t any option in the dialog to say, &quot;hey, I agree with Wrex, we need to recover this cure first,&quot; I felt very frustrated with the story arc. </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/mass-effect-is-making-me-fecking-batty/page/2#post-3057 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 00:53:49 +0000 Jordan Snyder 3057@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>Haha, that Wrex situation only happened to me once, but he survived in the save game that I brought to ME2. It would be really interesting to see how the game plays without him in ME2. He doesn&#39;t have a huge role or anything, but you do get to see him again if you were able to talk him down. </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/mass-effect-is-making-me-fecking-batty/page/2#post-3054 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 23:54:23 +0000 Stephen Munn 3054@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>OK, I&#39;ve played a number of more hours of the game now. Not sure how close I am to the end. Near the end of that colonist thing, after I got back to the outpost and the guy who was all worried that I&#39;d uncover their secrets got in my face, I just got tired of it and SHOT HIM IN THE STUPID FACE. I had been so careful up to that point not to step on anyone&#39;s toes, and the guy was being such a douche, I had to do it.</p> <p>From there on in I was very careful, except much later on, earlier today, when we got to Saren&#39;s base and found out he had found a solution to a certain problem. Apparently I had been too nice to build my intimidate skill and when I got into a confrontation with one of my crew members, another one SHOT HIM IN THE FUCKING BACK, which really pissed me off. He was my favorite character in the game!</p> <p>Then she volunteers for a suicide mission. Sure honey, knock yourself out. </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/mass-effect-is-making-me-fecking-batty/page/2#post-3052 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 23:23:40 +0000 Joe Haygood 3052@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>So you talked to Fai-Dan and he acted a bit shady at times. Also make note of how everyone says to refer to Fai-Dan for everything. And yeah, you will be bringing the fight to the Geth. Also, be careful with the Make outside. I have launched myself off of the highway more than once, and yes, it kills you. </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/mass-effect-is-making-me-fecking-batty/page/2#post-3049 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 19:37:56 +0000 Jordan Snyder 3049@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>That&#39;s...
