dude, it's super easy, for the chip looking thing, just search for matching pairs

for the lines of code, just match the pictures

Yeah, but if you're using an SDTV that's being run through the VCR to play it, I can certainly think ME1's would be more easy.

 

[mood4food77]

i still didn't have that problem when i did it

and i did that on a small 13' tv

get on my level

 

[Master Xanthan]

Both games have easy hacking, but ME2 is definitely easier.

 

[F8AL]

Looks like I can't win with you guys.

Also, I just recruited the doctor, he talks WAY too fast.

 

[theeboredone]

That's how all uh...forgot his species, but that's how they all talk like.

 

[mood4food77]

all salarians do not talk like mordin, he's like an ADD child on loads of sugar (caffeine doesn't do anything to them)

seriously, he's awesome

 

[LivewiresXe]

Well, Aria DID say "he's like a hampster on coffee". That being said though, Mordin is quite possibly one of the best characters in ME2. The dude's amazing.

 

[mood4food77]

is it bad that it has taken me 35 hours to get my final team member (don't wanna spoil it for f8tal)

 

[F8AL]

What's the max level in ME2?

And thanks for being so considerate, mood4food77.

 

[mood4food77]

30, it's way too low, i still got a good portion of the game left an i'm already there (granted i do everything in the game and i mean EVERYTHING, but still)

in ME1, you can't get to level 60 in one playthrough (i did get to level 53 though)

 

[LivewiresXe]

What's the max level in ME2?

And thanks for being so considerate, mood4food77.

Yeah, it's 30 but you won't get there on your first normal playthrough if you don't do all the DLC (including Shadow Broker and Arrival) because well...there isn't enough EXP normally. Once you beat it once if you play through again, you get a 25% EXP increase so...

 

[mood4food77]

if you import a character, you should have no problem getting to level 30, you get the boost and start off at level 5 (if you import one over level 40 or something)

 

[Pluvia]

I'm not too sure you get a boost. Maybe level 5 but apart from that I think you just level like normal.

 

[theeboredone]

all salarians do not talk like mordin, he's like an ADD child on loads of sugar (caffeine doesn't do anything to them)

Huh, coulda sworn other salarians talked at least reasonably fast. I thought it was explained due to their faster biological systems.

 

[mood4food77]

they might but not like mordin does

mordin's on a whole nother level

 

[Master Xanthan]

Most salarians don't talk nearly as fast as Mordin. Mordin either has ADD or has a drug addiction.

 

[mood4food77]

probably both

 

[Pluvia]

Minor ME3 gameplay spoiler:

Spoiler

So there's going to be different armour with various boosts for teammates in ME3.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Most salarians don't talk nearly as fast as Mordin. Mordin either has ADD or has a drug addiction.

The only drug he's on is called Mordin Solus. And, I don't know if the 360 version has it, but the PS3 one definitely has a 25% EXP increase the 2nd+ time through.

 

[mood4food77]

there's definitely a boost for importing a character, along with starting off with some money and minerals

 

[sakuraZaKi]

^Ahh, yes, I recall that happening to my imported save, too.

Errr. I can't remember if I read something about it or not, but are there no more weapon restrictions in ME3, right? So will certain classes get weapon-specific upgrades or something then?

 

[Mic_128]

Dunno if anyone's been interested in the books, but you might want to avoid the latest one. The new writer doesn't seem to know what he's writing about. Check this out.

[LivewiresXe]

Wait...you mean this isn't canon?

(possible slight ME2 spoilers?)

[theeboredone]

Yeah, heard about the book errors. I just heard fans are correcting the stuff themselves.

 

[F8AL]

Can you throw nades in ME2 like you could in ME1?

 

[LivewiresXe]

Can you throw nades in ME2 like you could in ME1?

I don't think so, no. Only Zaeed seems to get THAT honour.

 

[Pluvia]

Can you throw nades in ME2 like you could in ME1?

Only if you get Zaeed or Kasumi's loyalty power.

 

[F8AL]

Which squad mates are better at this point in the game?

Mordin, Miranda or Jacob?

EDIT: Mass Effect 3 Xbox Live demo temporarily bumps Silver subs to Gold

http://www.joystiq.com/2012/02/03/mass-effect-3-xbox-live-demo-temporarily-bumps-silver-subs-to-go/

Upon downloading the demo, all Silver members will be automatically bumped up to Gold level until Mass Effect 3 launches on March 6.

 

[LivewiresXe]

I'd probably say Miranda, actually. Yeah Jacob has shotguns, but I've always liked submachine guns better. Mordin has some good skills like Incinerate and Cryo Blast, but he seems to do less damage with his guns than other squaddies like say, Arcangel.

 

[Pluvia]

That's because Archangel has a sniper.

Anyway F8AL no one squadmate is better than another really, some are better in different situations but that's about it.

And anyway if you're playing on anything below Hardcore then you can pretty much use whoever you want. Miranda is handy because of her passive ability of giving everyone power boosts though. Mordin's abilities are beast though, and Jacob has a shotgun and Pull.

 

[theeboredone]

Great, possible ME4 when 3 has yet to be released.

[Pluvia]

Yeah it wont be ME4 it'll most likely be the MMORPG they were talking about a while ago.

 

[F8AL]

You guys should have seen my face when

Spoiler

I got poisoned by that bartender in the Afterlife bar at the bottom floor. :O

I'm now at the Citadel to inform the Council of what's what.

 

[Master Xanthan]

Yeah they already said ME3 was the last game that follows Shepherd's storyline. If there is another Mass Effect, it's either gonna be another trilogy with a different character or like Pluvia said an MMO (and sadly a game that I wont play because MMO's cost wayyyyy too much money, takes up too much time, and my pc isn't any good to run it).

 

[Pluvia]

I'm now at the Citadel to inform the Council of what's what.

Lol have fun.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Punch a reporter for us while you're at it.

 

[Pluvia]

Jack ME3 artwork.

[collapse= Spoilers obviously]

[F8AL]

Punch a reporter for us while you're at it.

I did.

And I just recruited Jack, she kinda scares me.

 

[LivewiresXe]

She may be a bit scary at first, but she's actually a good character overall. Though...I never use her default outfit when using her. For some reason it just seems...weird as it's well, almost not even an outfit,l ol.
