@ RCGodward, if that hotfix you linked is over 100 mb, that's the exact one I downloaded from ATI yesterday.

I explored them all, there's like 10-15 total side missions.Out of curiosity, how many of you have explored every single planet you can find for fun? There's ALOT of minor side missions to do. Not really story related, but fun all the same.
Yeah, pretty cool stuff. If you go to that asari city, there is a terminal where you can buy maps to 3 new systems.
Wow, this game has to go down as one of the most overrated in history. Many reasons I consider it substandard;
1)combat is annoying, pistols are crap. Also lots of fun using worthless pistols and shotgun against army's of clones wielding assault rifles, rocket launchers and flame throwers.
2)battle music is terrible, horrid next to that of Mass Effect 1
3)its very unstable and buggy, I beat ME1 with my last character to import into ME2. In six hours I never ran into a single hitch or bug. In four hours of ME2 game has bugged out (with me stuck in the ceiling from walking straight down a corridor, needing a reload) and crashed like crazy. Were talking every 10-15 minutes of gameplay at best.
3) the AI is even dumber than before, any feign of intelligence is just scripting. Also the new factions are repetitive and annoying, its great fun listening to the stupid cliche Vorcha screaming "MY PRECIOUS, MY PRECIOUS ARRGGGGH".
4) Almost every damn change in how the game works, feel they were added only for the sake of change. Also many, down to the menus feel like they hardly work.
I'm still gonna try and beat it, but I'm sorry, not an apologist tool who is going to make a case for whats wrong with this game. I don't even care to comment on the storyline till I've beat it. I dunno, its just sad because I really wanted to like this game. Seems to me that bioware listened far to much to the fat idiot fanboy when they decided what input would make the overhaul.
Am I correct in noticing that there is no reason to skip the QTE's that are opposite your 'alignment'?
Secondly, holy load times! Just like ME1. DAO loads seemed a tenth as long on my not-too-shabby rig (below). wtf?

I had my paragon femshep nailing some renegade interrupts for the sheer badassery.
Snapping that guy's neck was one of the best ones.
Should I play Mass Effect 1 before getting this?

Ok I was thinking about playing the first for a while but just never got around to it.
Absolutely you should play ME1. The two games are directly connected, to the point where you have the option to import your character from ME1 into ME2. You will get so much more out of the story and characters in ME2 by playing the first one first.
Do yourself a favour and play ME1 first!
I don't know what buddy means by it not feeling modern. There are parts of ME1 that are more impressive than anything I saw in ME2. Mainly the open areas of The Citadel, the story as a whole, and the final act.
How did you get to 45 hours? Even doing every single little side quest and anomaly that seems like a lot!
so did and I think I got like 28 or 30 hours.... went to my savegame before the last mission and then went back over every little thing and I still don't think I could have gotten to 45. I wish it had another 8 or 10 hours of real content.
The wait for ME3 is going to be soooo long.

dang, thought that upping the difficulty might make the combat more interesting- not so much. Just gives the enemies shields which makes my biotics of much less useful. Also makes you have to use cover more. The cover system is so boring that it makes ME2 feel like a turn-based game.
