Unfortunately I want to get ME1 on PC and play through it too... I have ME1 on 360 and can't transfer saves, because I didn't know it would be coming to PC at the time.

Just about to go to Omega. Did a little scanning, but I've been limited to playing for 2 hours at a time or so courtesy of work and my gf's strange work hours (don't get to spend much time with her, so I have to use my time wisely). Pretty fun so far. I stopped last night right as I docked in Omega the first time...

I've been going pretty damn slow, exploring all the planets, doing all the quests... etc. 17 or so hours in. My concern is getting all the possible upgrades I can get for the Normandy, and having everyone survive, so I'm making sure I don't miss anything.

I think you and i both are the type that does everything we can and we have the greatest chance to make it through without anyone dying.

i feel the way i play is so prepared I will be set for the end (whatever it may be) I may have to in the future see what happens on youtube when you don't prepare b/c everytime I play through I will most likely go this slow and thorough.

Exactly. It's just that Bioware has created such a team of interesting characters that I'd hate for any of them to die, and miss out on some interesting story element in ME3. *Archangel spoilers?* Especially Garrus. Oh Garrus... I was so upset when he was lying there in a pile of blood, I thought I'd done something wrong and got him killed, then he woke up. Whew. Tense moment.

I hate that feeling that I've done something wrong. So I'll go to any lengths to stop that. I MUST have my perfect save for ME3 :P

I felt the same way at that part. Definitely glad I was wrong though.

I'm only 8 or 9 hours in and I've finished everything I could at Omega and the Citadel. Now I'm starting to scan planets as much as possible. Liking it a lot so far.

Yes, I'm also going slow. I want to see what's around every corner, have every conversation possible. Might as well take time to smell the flowers when I paid for them. And I don't want to skip any content or writing.

I'll provide some insight into the opposite viewpoint. I'm a very big completionist, but never the 1st time through. I'm a story junkie. Such a bad story junkie that I get so caught up in wanting to see it that I tend to start accelerating the main plot points and shirking un-needed side missions/quests/stuff.

So I just beat ME2 last night - saved my whole crew, did all loyalty missions, etc but missed pretty much all side quests, yada yada. But now that I have this sated warm glow about the story, everytime I play after it's really thorough and I can just relax and take my time and enjoy all the small bits of story and nuance I may have missed the first time.

I'm about 22 hours in (I'm off with the Flu, I DO have a life :P) I've managed to recruit my entire team, and do all of their loyalty quests, and the farthest I'm in in the story is I just *SPOILER!!!!************ got the reaper IFF for the omega relay. I don't know how far that is but I'm not going any farther till I survey and land on a bunch of planets and just enjoy the game.

I wanted to take it slow but couldn't. I wanted to find Liari, my LI from the first game, and now I want to find Tali. I went to see Anderson, recruited Garrus and now I've seen Kaiden. I've seen Liari and see no reason not to go ahead and complete the Miranda mission and recruit two more squad members while we're all on the same planet. Then I'll find Tali and slow WAYYY down.

Im definitely taking it slow, doing just a few hours a day and making sure to do every small thing I can. Also waiting on upgrade parts for my comp so I can enjoy the game that much more.

So is anyone out there going really slow in Mass Effect 2 and enjoying every second of the game?

Instead of blazing through and doing everything fast as possible I'm enjoying every moment of the game. I think i am 7+ hours in and i've only recruited the doctor salarian and regained Garrus back.


same here, rushing this game is about the best way to spoil it I guess, so far every moment is pure fun, and I'll keep my deliberate pace, enjoying conversations, exploring the world...

Taking it very slow, talking to pretty much anyone I see. I'm nowhere near claring out planetory exploration.
Im 22 hours in and I'm still only  missing Legion.

8.5 hours in and I recruited garrus, morden and jack. I also checked out the citidel and talked to anderson. I am hoping more of the citidel will open up later in the game. I want to see the people there from ME1 like the consort instead of just getting an e-mail. I only found 2 really basic quests on the zakiera ward, which is pretty dissapointing. I also did 2 planet side quests which were fun. Recruiting Jack was the most challeneging quest gameplay wise so far, lots of dangerous enemies. If each squadmate has 2 missions I have done 3 out of 20 so far. I guess I have a lot of gameplay ahead of me if you count squad missions, any main story missions there are, and sidequests.

Count me as one of the slow players. I play a lot, but I try and be methodical.



Sometimes I wonder if I am one of the few that will play sequences over and over again, trying to tweak my outcome. I must have played through the missions on Omega about 3 times a piece. :)

I'm being leisurely. I went to omega, acquired Mordin and Garrus, and now I'm just trying to acquire resources and do upgrades to my equipment.

See for me i made the mistake of rushing through ME1 too fast, I was going slow until i hit a major plot point and i blazed through, I regretted it later b/c I could have really enjoyed it all. So this time around I am making sure I go as slow as i can enjoying it all one step at a time making sure to not miss a thing.

I enjoy the suspence of what will happen next and not knowing the ending of the game yet.

I'm treating it like I do a good book. Taking it slowly and soaking up the story. I have friends who will blaze though books to see what happens. I just cant do that. It seems like more of a treat if you take your time, that way you can look forward to enjoying the experience longer.

i didnt really take my time. i mean, i still have 25 hours logged on my first play through, but, i didnt take the time to do ALL the little side quests or scan every planet of every system. i just wanted to see the ending. my later playthroughs however, will be where i take my time.

I have yet to leave the first solar system except briefly to try out interstellar travel and probe another planet.  I'm soaking everything in, rolling new characters to pick my favorite class, waffling between pure paragon, pure renegade or mixed...  Unlike DA:O, which I blazed through on my first playthrough, I intend to play this one slow enough not to finish anytime soon.  So far, I'm loving every second of it; why rush to the end?

I'm going slow, too. Partially out of necessity (we've only got one TV in the house, my Dad's a TV junkie and my brother was the one that bought the game in the first place, so I get low priority with it) and partially because while I didn't rush through the first game I skipped over some of the sidequests and have been really regretting doing that. This time around I'm wanting to soak up all the sidequests I can, gather as many upgrades as I can, and find all the little hidden gems. Plus, I want to really take time to play through the game and weigh it against the first.



That being said, I tend to play games VERY slowly anyway...so who knows how long it'll be until I beat this game. I'm hoping not too long.

Yeah, I am taking it slow but I was disappointed with the Citadel but I did like what was there but thought there would be more but that asari planet with the trading floor and shops is amazing! Very beautiful with amazing graphics!



I did have a difficult time on the human colony on Horizon and one battle sequence I had such a tough time with involving 3 different types of enemies and it took me like 20 trys before I survived that battle!! I definitely need to work on my strategy!! This game is tougher than the first one!
