Mass Effect 2 Cerberus Network $15 Without Activation Code

[Jan 22, 2010, 12:20 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The just-revealed Cerberus Network that will deliver free and paid DLC to owners of Mass Effect 2 will cost $15.00 USD, according to a new report on Bitmob. Tuesday's announcement of the Cerberus Network for BioWare's RPG sequel said the service will be free to new owners and could be unlocked through the purchase of an activation code with pre-owned copies. This is primarily of interest to console owners, as PC games are difficult to trade, but it gives a sense of how much value they place on the "free" DLC the network will offer.

Jerykk mentioned streamlining and this is the first game where that word isn't some evil method of saying "consolized". I don't think I could call the game consolized, since the series has always been designed for console. However, I wouldn't call the streamlining a good thing. It's been streamlined too much. Character development is very limited and now everyone can hack and use persuasion/intimidation. ME2 is even less of an RPG than the first game. Not a big fan of the new "inventory" system. Nobody liked the system in the first game because the interface was terrible and weapons weren't unique enough. In ME2, they've removed inventory entirely. This really limits your freedom. You can't switch armor outside of the Normandy and you can't drop or pick up weapons in the middle of combat. The huge barren planets from the first game are gone entirely. That's a bit misleading. The generic planet landscapes from the first game have been replaced with generic satellite views of planets. You scan them for minerals and it's even less interesting than exploring the planets in the first game. Granted, the side quests are much more diverse now and they don't recycle the same sets over and over. While I'm not a big fan of the streamlining, the game is still very entertaining. If you ignore the marketing of the game as an RPG and consider it a pure shooter, it's easier to overlook the flaws. I went ahead and preordered the game as it's certainly worth buying. yeah because he doesn't have a reputation around here as a serial whiner who is never happy with games or anything. The only one whining here is you. This comment was edited on Jan 26, 2010, 02:36.
