October 16, 2009 - Electronic Arts has announced the release date for Mass Effect 2, the anticipated sequel from developer BioWare.

The game is scheduled to launch on January 26, 2010 in North America and January 29 in Europe.

WOOT!

Ign.com has some gameplay footage up. Between this, Dragon's Age, and Demon's Soul, its action RPG overload. Great time if you are a fan of this genre.

Of course this is the sequel to arguably the best game from 2007. I for one cannot wait and really hope they improve on a few of minor problems with this game, namely repetitive side quests and a bunkish menu interface. Gameplay wise, it was fantastic.

Anyone else pumped?

After seeing this thread again, reminded me that I think I formatted my 360 hdd. ****. Doesn't the story continue?

Don't forget Borderlands.

Man, no idea if I should get these games for PC, 360, or PS3.

this is 360 exclusive, and presumably PC at a later date. No PS3 for this one, unless you are talking about Dragon's Age....

Talking about all of the upcoming releases this winter. PC has better graphics and controls, but console has a better screen and surround sound.

Just ejected bodily fluids from every orifice.

Going to start playing through ME1 again tonight. I never got to see the lesbian alien sex scene, so now I get to do that as well.

Just replayed ME with all the choices I wanted in preparation for save game import.

Only thing that annoyed me was that last character bio of the bald chick, looks like they are trying to appeal to 10 year olds by screaming bitch every 5 seconds and being XTREME.

Hopefully I can shoot her in the head right off the bat.

This is what I did because I have no subtlety or patience with video games and just like to shoot things. When I play through it again I'm going to make myself use the biotic/tech stuff.

the gameplay is quite different when you play a soldier compared to the other classes. Both ways are really fun for different reasons.

Most anticipated sequel on Xbox for me. Pretty sure I red ringed 360 because I played Mass Effect for 14 hours straight. I'm also pretty sure that I'm the only one here that read every single description for all the planets/stations - even the gas giants.

I also read Mass Effect: Revelation and just started Mass Effect Ascension. Downloaded Mass Effect: Galaxy for iPhone but haven't finished it yet, will before launch.

Also had my girlfriend paint me a portrait of Saren, I bought an Iguana and named it Urdnot Wrex, and I got caught fapping to the romance scene once.

YOUR MOVE SIR.

(Two of the last three aren't true, btw.)

Soldiers were the most boring class in the game imo. Adept+assault rifle was crazy fun.

I found out that I already had a game started as an infiltrator. I guess I'll have to play through it again as an adept, but the initial visit to the Citadel is so boring once you've done everything that Idk if I can get through it a fourth time.

citadel visit is less boring once you figure out how to skip convo's.

Just finished up as an infiltrator. Since the girl-on-Asari sex was a little more disturbing than I expected, I'm gonna go through it again as a dude so I can get all up in Chief Williams again.

Hopefully ME2 contains significantly more human-female-on-human-female lovemaking.

9 minutes of gameplay leaked (?) for Mass Effect 2. Note that this is gameplay so I suppose it spoils some of the story and what will happen.
