SFX-360: Mass Effect 2: Stolen Memories Review

Kasumi is a master thief recruited by Cerberus to aid Shepard. In return for her services, Kasumi requires that Shepard aid her in reclaiming an item now in the possession of Donovan Hock, a deadly crime boss. To pull off this heist, Shepard needs to go to a party, hosted by Donovan, under an alias and gather necessary information to gain access to the vault where Kasumi's prize is being held. This had the potential to really set itself apart from other loyalty missions. For once you could use dialogue in the actual mission itself and not just to set up the mission like the others. The prospect of information gathering and mystery solving was exciting.

As far as #2 goes doesn't the war/invasion, that while you're acting as a tourist millions die, make that next to impossible?

loveassassin134430d ago

Yea, the death and destruction, millions die thing, does help make scale by itself. Although it would still be cool if they found a way to bring back some sort of planet exploration aspect.

question ? if i buy say armor or any dlc from mass effect2 can i use it in mass effect3?????

krazykombatant4429d ago

I believe some, idk if all armor and weapons from ME2 will be available from the get go if you transfer your character from ME2. Actually even if you didn't have the DLC i think you get some of the armors.

Here's my #1! How about they stop removing parts of the game to sell later so I will actually buy it? I was going to buy it then I found out that ea forced bioware with the crucial dlc! So guess what EA u just lost a sale but I'll still be playing it ;) and you are getting none Of my money.

loveassassin134429d ago

I agree as well, and that's sort of what I hinted with in my #5, I really don't like how it seems they just take out parts of the game, that "should" be a part of the full game, but sell them on the side for some extra cash. That's why I'm probably going to Gamefly the game (since their PR company ran out of review copies), and if I decided to buy it, I can at least get it for $20 off.

Again: Prothean Javik IS in the retail game as an NPC. If you want to recruit him, you need to get the DLC. That's it. Otherwise, nothing is removed from the game that's important to lore.

krazykombatant4429d ago

right so a living prothean isn't important to the lore..

Blacktric4429d ago

I really am worried about some of you guys. I really am. Did you read what I wrote? Probably not. You just saw my avatar and assumed I defended the game using a crappy argument, much like yours, without having two bit of a clue. Am I going good so far? Now. Let's read what I wrote together.

"Prothean Javik IS IN THE RETAIL GAME AS AN NPC. If you want to recruit him, you need to get the DLC."

So what do we get from this? Javik is actually in the game. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? HE REALLY IS! And you know what else? If you took 20 seconds of your sweet ass important time and read what I wrote, you'd know it instead of blabbering the same bullshit like those turian nutheads on Bioware forums. HE IS IN THE GAME AS AN NPC. HE HAS THE SAME IMPACT TO THE LORE AS HE HAS WHEN HE'S A SQUADMEMBER AND YOU ONLY NEED THE GODDAMN 10 DOLLAR DAY 1 DLC TO RECRUIT HIM. NOT TO ADD HIM TO THE GAME. Now... I bid you farewell and I hope to God I never EVER see you replying to me or any half-intelligent comment for that matter.

krazykombatant4429d ago

LOL sorry to dissapoint but i'll reply to you, just because of how offensive your reply was. The fact that hes already in the game, as an NPC shows that he was created along side of the game, and that they took it out of the game to charge you for his little side mission.

I'll keep it short so enjoy taking it from on all fours from bioware/ea in the future don't bitch about their pricing and DLC tactics.

DUH wasn't it obvious in the game she didn't have any friends.

rabidpancakeburglar4621d ago

Playing ME2 right now, not a fan of Jack.

MasterD9194621d ago

Jack is pretty handy in a squad though. She absorbs a lot of hits more than some of the other squad members. Plus its amusing to hear her call everyone an asshole every 5 minutes.

Games With The Best DLC (RunDLC)

Lots of publishers support downloadable content, but not all of these updates are worth the dough. Activison’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, for example, has two map packs, but each one costs a whopping $15, putting them just outside the range of budget minded gamers. Other companies, however, release quality DLC that more than justifies the cost. If you intend to get the most from your games, these content heavy hitters will keep you playing for months.
