Mass Effect 2: Overlord Review

[charmmuffin]

I DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT MW3 MAP PACKAGES JUST LET ME WATCH THE FREKIN VIDEO

[snake9718]

@charmmuffin you use ad block then.........

[strongpass]

He forgot to mention the textures for the grass during the Hammerhead section.

[luftman]

The ending is awesome

[TheMattyman199]

Poor vi guy

[Gaffer213]

worst dlc ever

[kylum10001]

@Gaffer213 realy? i thought arviael was much worse,but lair of the sadow broker was amazing though.

[Gaffer213]

@kylum10001 i pirated the game along with ALL the dlc so it didn't matter much to me anyway

[GamerX89X]

Man the hammerhead segments piss me off. Tthe hammmerhead is way too weak against the turrets thrown in here. You cant even take down one without dying.

[2RandomStudios]

@GamerX89X No, you just suck.

[baesdinosaur]

@GamerX89X Don't blame the game for your own fallbacks. You just need to move around, I thought it obvious. The missiles are guided, they will home in even if you miss my a meter. Use your head.

[MrSlickazs]

Question: Does the length of a DLC matters? Like what's the maximum hours people want to spend playing a DLC? Isn't that why it's called a DLC or am I missing the point?

[atxagent00b]

@MrSlickazs no, i think you are correct, i feel like its quality over quantity in DLC, and bioware is very good at doing that in their DLC's for mass effect :)

[peri2502]

@MrSlickazs Of course the length matters. You want to get some value for your money after all. I am not willing to pay $10 for 10 minutes worth of game play.

[TimeBomb014X]

@peri2502 .....good thing it cme free with ME2 PS3

[danielzinhofa]

i want to know what happens in the end :(

[Splashy151]

@danielzinhofa It's very emotional, I cried :,(

[LeVaughnX]

ITS FUCKING DLC WHAT DO YOU EXPECT - DO YOU WANT A TEN HOUR LONG DLC OR A FIVE HOUR LONG ONE IGN?!?! GOD DAMN IT YOU GUYS SUCK!

[Splashy151]

@LeVaughnX Christ alive, it was a good review, get a life instead of bitching under IGN reviews please.

Also, why do you watch their reiews if you don't like IGN? You haters sound like spoilt brats to me.

[peri2502]

Okay there are people who actually liked how the Hammerhead handled? I can barely believe it.

[dessan18]

@peri2502 Ofc there are. It's fast, can go sideways and can lift off from the ground longer. Are you suggesting that you prefer the mako?

[peri2502]

@peri2502 Compared to the Hammerhead, I actually do prefer the Mako. The Mako was far from perfect, but at least it felt like you were handling a vehicle of sorts. The Hammerhead could have been good, but wasn't. Combat consists of nothing but spamming missles, and the option to leap frog only serves to give you annoying platform sequences. On top of that you crash into the ground after leaping, which makes the whole concept even more goofy.

[Subtitles00]

The ending to this really touched me. Just finished playing it, I was moved nearly to tears (I didn't cry, I was just really really sad lol :c ), and I'm a guy. What a good DLC.

A really emotional chill went down my spine when he said "Square root of 906.1 is..."

[Warrior536]

I found the dlc to be annoying. I see that they tried to give it a bit of an horror feeling though its as much horror as a youtube screamer with the rogue VI constantly poping everywhere making loud noises. It gets annoying as hell.

[crimsonnrose]

@Warrior536 or like the gman in half life

[snake9718]

havnt played this game in a while.......IM PLAYING IT 2MORO!

[greyfox129]

@snake9718 Really i got it on my PS3 on January and that uncharted 2 and MGS4 are the only games i still play the most. I can't seem to just put that game down.

[IvyNirvana]

@greyfox129 LOL I got a PS3 only for U2 and MGS4 too!

[Domanese]

It all seemed harmless...

[Phe0nixRIzin]

overlord was the sadest dlc imo and if u did the renegade idc if its a game your a heartless bastard......

[will2008yaboy]

wtf who shot my horse

[Chester781]

should i play this before the final mission in the main game or after?

Same question for other dlc of ME2.

[xGHOSTXRECONx]

@Chester781 Before. Its just a add on to increase the over all quality of the game. Only lair of the shadow broker really should be played after the main mission.

[dzeiks91]

1:00 shepard was here

[Sissqo101]

yeah right asshole. half an afternoon (4-5 hours) is too short? are you serious? I've played entire games that took that long and they were nowhere near as good,

[freebirdoly1]

Ign is gay. All they do is cry about stupid things, then praise those same stupid things in another game, better or not. Ign is a bunch of whiney kids playing journelist.

[IvyNirvana]

@freebirdoly1 They don't "cry" their professional reviewers, their suppose to point out everything. If they really like a game, they can't just give it a 10 and say it's just "good". They have to point out everything.

[B4ndoGor4]

Why does ign hate the mako?

[imascatmanworld]

i thought helping the mage circle in the dream world thing was the scariest bioware lvl

[MysteriousStranger03]

so many dlc's so little microsoft points

[jpkillah]

To short ? Lulz.

[CharmieKid]

Not to sound like a pussy...but...........i'm too scared to play this!

[imascatmanworld]

@CharmieKid it doesnt seem that scary i just downloaded it.

[CharmieKid]

@imascatmanworld Uh huh, trust me, you will!

[imascatmanworld]

@CharmieKid i just beat it i only jumped in the elavator part

[Willasrulz10]

I didn't have much of a problem with the Mako from ME1, only that there were too many missions that involved it's usage. Other than that, I think it handled well and was powerful if you knew what you were doing, which isn't hard.

[jedisociety]

This is all Joker's fault what a tool he was...

[deathwaitsfornoone]

Love this game but i dont agree with ign the hammerhead sucks. yea the mako was bad but the hammerhead made it look like a honda geeze against the turrets it takes two hits and your dead

[gethsoftware]

please. make it stop.

[FurrywallJeffery]

sorry guys...im...im gay....

[CharmieKid]

Am I the only one who turned the sound down on the TV and stayed as far away from any screens as possible when playing this?

[ultimatekotorfan]

@CharmieKid QUIET! PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!!!!

[CharmieKid]

@ultimatekotorfan Scared the everlasting shit out of me........that is until the ending....

[ultimatekotorfan]

@CharmieKid God... the saddest ending I've ever seen.

[NaturalSpeaking]

..what exactly was a bad about the Mako? If I were to guess, Id assume it was the lack of a forward "boost" button, which it wouldnt have as a planet exploration vehicle.. not a race car or jet tank..

[nero314100]

@NaturalSpeaking most people hated the limitations of the turret

[masterplusmargarita]

@NaturalSpeaking

-Horrible physics: That thing handled like a shopping cart, it jumped about ten metres in the air on every single little rock. IT'S AN ARMORED VEHICLE.

-Boring Combat: With its excessive amount of life, even on Insanity you would just sit and shoot. Only Collosi made you be mobile.

-Randomly generated worlds: The game would often generate practically unclimbable mountains. So you'd spen 30 min trying to get up and fall when you were at the top. They were also boring to look at.

[NathanLovesOatmeal]

horribly glitchy on PS3

[dbiii231]

I played it on my ps3 and the grass pops in and the floor is all pixelated. whats up with that?

[EpicBunty]

@dbiii231 Dude , Ps3 is like ancient now.

Yea sure the move controllers are cool and all , BUT THE PS3 WAS RELEASED IN 2006.

Its like having a slightly advanced '06 graphics card.

[iFuhrer]

@EpicBunty wtf 5 years already 0_0

[blazinghen]

@EpicBunty Dude, nobody has even hit 50% of the PS3's graphical power.

Sides, X360 is older.

[EpicBunty]

@blazinghen You mean "processing power ".

Gotta admit , its cell processor is beast , but man their GPU isn't as strong now. Especially for us graphic whores.

[azerskater]

@blazinghen Umm, let me think, maybe my PC that I built. Or any other PC gamers' PC.

[Blazer01834]

@blazinghen Uncharted 2 uses 90% of the PS3's processing power.

[HaThAcOn]

YAY AUTISM!

[browna5330]

wow... 1:29.... no need to kill that horse

[thechosen1228]

@browna5330 I don't mean to be some kind of comment troll or something, but those are space cows. You see them on one of the exploration planets in ME1 they steal your credits when you turn your back. That's probably why he killed them.

[lildickheads]

@browna5330 i ran it over....... teehee

[Jort007]

@browna5330 Defenseless herbivores are no match for guided missiles.

[Themastercode1235]

Oh my god. This DLC is amazing. Its just so emotional, and decision making is superb. I must say, I nearly cried...

[THEBIGGESTSKI11ETFAN]

is this expansion free?

[LightningCorperation]

@THEBIGGESTSKI11ETFAN Pc Find it for Free 360 No Microsoft Points

[THEBIGGESTSKI11ETFAN]

@LightningCorperation is it and how much space does it take

[LightningCorperation]

@THEBIGGESTSKI11ETFAN Dunno Umm i would Say 1 Gb i play oblivion large mods it usally takes 1.5 GB oN xBOX It Tells You

[THEBIGGESTSKI11ETFAN]

@LightningCorperation do i need the game i sold it awhile ago

[LightningCorperation]

@THEBIGGESTSKI11ETFAN well on the Computer you can Torrent It Xbox buy it Actual you dont use any GB On Xbox unless you download it

[takanoritoriyama]

i hate that fucking green gorilla scream. scares me every time 

[Xagneto]

this DLC could be a full game!

[MetroidPeter]

This was DLC? When I bought my copy of ME2, it came with the game. And so did the blood dragon armor. Why is that?

[Fallout3Tec]

IGNorant. This is the best game ever. 10/10

[Arkaeya]

@Fallout3Tec No way! A person bitching that the game score wasn't a perfect 10? 9 is a great score you moron. God forbid they don't give it a perfect 10. A review is an opinion. DO you know what an opinion is? So take your shit elsewhere.

[Fallout3Tec]

@Arkaeya It was a joke to my friend, he love ME2 and IGN and I said I would right a comment if they gave it a "bad" score.

[cHiKaDiNg58]

But this is free in PS3 version...

[aperson30]

@cHiKaDiNg58 yea because it was already out so they thought they would include it

[Iteachu2beninja]

Am I the only one who liked Overlord better then Lair of the Shadow broker?

[fallout766]

@Iteachu2beninja yes.

[AwesomePeow]

@Iteachu2beninja Yes.

[sa1nt84]

@Iteachu2beninja yep

[GMCman82]

i hated how the hammerhead was dlc. i was hoping it was gonna be available lke the mako. the only thing is i dont like how you dont have free range to explore worlds like in ME1. the armor and weapon sys. has been made simple but i like to have a wider range of gear customization. ah well it was a great game none the less.

[TheCdeboy]

I like how IGN thinks a DLC should be as long as the actual game.

[Gannon191]

@TheCdeboy It was a good two hour DLC. Most Fallout DLC can last about 3-5 hours.

[TheCdeboy]

@Gannon191 Well to be fair 2 hours is better then 1, good day.

[Gannon191]

@TheCdeboy Wat. I'm playing Old World Blues right now and I've been playing for at least 3 hours. Still in it.

[TheCdeboy]

@Gannon191 What is your point your just talking about different DLC's. Kid, quality over quantity.

[Gannon191]

@TheCdeboy That's implying if it's longer it must be worse. Old World Blues is a great, long DLC. Much better than the DLC that came before it, Honest Hearts, Which was just 2 hours long.

[TheCdeboy]

@Gannon191 Kid just listen, quality over quantity!

[Gannon191]

@TheCdeboy You seem not to be understanding. I just finished Old World Blues, a fantastic DLC by Obsidian. It took well over 10 hours to beat. Compared to Overlord, it had much better quality. Higher quantity does not mean less quality.

[TheCdeboy]

@Gannon191 Oh my God, kid shut up! i don't care about Old World Bues, I got it yesterday did it in 6 hours don't lie kid. Also the size of the DLC doesn't determine how good it is! Old World Blues is just a futuristic version of Point Lookout it isn't even that fun! On Overlord you ride vehicles, do platforming, do a few puzzles great combat, a very good story, difficult and fun boss fights, great graphics and it isn't too long so it isn't a drag like a few DLC's today.

[Gannon191]

@TheCdeboy Don't lie? Apparently you either have never played Fallout and you're lying or you're just desperate for an excuse. Yes, OWB can be beat in 6 hours if you rush like hell through it and don't do everything. I'm not lying. Also, don't call me a kid when you're the one who sounds very high strung. There's 1 boss fight in Overlord. It's very easy. Never had a problem even on insanity. You never fight anything in the Hammerhead except for a few turrets.

[TheCdeboy]

@Gannon191 I didn't rush, found all locations did most of the side quests it isn't that long, it's clear you were half asleep playing overlord because their was more then 1.

[Gannon191]

@TheCdeboy More than 1? I've completed Overlord 7 times. There's one boss, Daniel. That's it. He isn't even that hard. On both the times I fought him on insanity I beat him in about a minute. Arc Projector and Mattock or Widow. Also, there's really not much exploring in Overlord. You just go to Prometheus, Vulcan and Atlas and the few artifacts lying around. Also, you didn't rush? What were you playing on, Very easy? Just wandering around, and going back for ammo takes a while.

[TheCdeboy]

@Gannon191 If you've played it 7 times can't be that bad, i play on normal. Their both decent DLC's leave it at that i know that this is gonna go on forever.

[Gannon191]

@TheCdeboy I never said it was a bad DLC. All I said was that a higher quantity does not mean a lower quality and Vice Versa.

[Adomkavic]

@TheCdeboy Seriously, that was the only minus, and the fact is that it is kinda short. It would be a terrible review if he didn't say that, because DLC length varies from game to game and some people might have hoped that it would be quite long before they spend money on it. You can't just go onto an IGN review and instantly think "Whatever he is about to say will be wrong." IGN isn't always that bad...

[TheCdeboy]

@Adomkavic I know but IGN thinks a DLC should be 15 hours long, it's kind of a blag.

[xDepthChargex]

@TheCdeboy if it was true

[TheHephaestus16]

@TheCdeboy it should be as long as a 10$ DLC should be

[SteelerEagleFan]

@TheCdeboy I like how that was never said in the review.

[TheCdeboy]

@SteelerEagleFan I know, he said it was short for a DLC, it's only a DLC.

[DeadVenom01]

i downloaded some dlc at a friends and hav it on my hardrive but cant play it! Does anybody know why?

[GingerNinja217]

@DeadVenom01 protection you have to download it with modern games

[kirielvids]

@DeadVenom01 delete it and download it again. it wont cost anything if you use the same profile.

[kirielvids]

@Bianca9497 I CANT BELIEVE THERE ARE STILLDUMBASSES AROUND WHO THINK THIS SHIT IS REAL.

[trams33]

got this for free, ps3 version rocks

[aperson30]

@trams33 well yea but you didnt get to play the first one... so thats a big let down since characters in me1 will come back and help you that wont ever appear on ps3, so your losing a ton of content, but gaining a ton too

[IAreCrazyChris]

People. Do you think this DLC will have an effect on mass effect 3 like lair of the shadow broker and the arrival will?

[CharmieKid]

"This is Joker's fault, what a tool he was! I have to spend the day computing Pi because he plugged in the Overlord!"

[dumbcheese123]

this is why i have the ps3 version :)

[aperson30]

@dumbcheese123 i dont understand why people seems so proud about having the ps3 version, sure you get some content free but you lose way more for not playing me1

[Zimba9810]

wtf did he say? " i was able to play thru it in a lesser half a map of ?????" i rewind it 5 times i cant understand him

[carcrazy211]

@Zimba9810 in the lesser half of an afternoon

[zTheBravoSquadz]

@Zimba9810 He says in the lesser half of an afternoon

[GeneralSauerKraut]

I left Rain Man in the hands of Cerberus...hope that doesn't bite me in the ass in ME3, looks like Cerberus screws you over for sure.

[Chazone27]

@TaylorMarleneify SHUT THE FUCK UP

[evilryutaropro]

if they made mass effect into multiplayer is should just be pvp

[kirielvids]

@evilryutaropro better yet. they shouldnt make mass effect into multiplayer. mmo is so watered down that its painful to play.

[insight1337]

@kirielvids I am an avid MMO hater. But even I would consider playing an ME mmo because the setting is familiar for me and will be fun.

[SaveAD]

This is my least fav DLC

[muslimgiga]

I did this mission it came with the game.

[mlijwttyttr]

can anyone tell me why people say that the story is disturing? i dont mind spoilers.

[Jeldeofa]

@mlijwttyttr

I would hate to ruin the ending for you. Just know that I was on a full renegade run at the time and even I had to choose the paragon option. By far the most disturbing moment I've ever seen in any video game.

Well worth the money!

[Gannon191]

@mlijwttyttr Only thing I really found disturbing was the sound of the VI. It sounded like someone farting into an electric harmonica.

[evilryutaropro]

if uncharted and mass effect had a baby...GGGGGGOOOOOOTTTTTTYYYYY

[TrollogyExpert]

At the end of the DLC i was so pissed off >:(

[mlijwttyttr]

@TrollogyExpert why were you mad? is this worth the money. money wise?

[TrollogyExpert]

@mlijwttyttr Yes its good .The story is kind of disturbing ...

[Hunkarov]

OH did I want to shoot that bastard at the end >:(

[12WaterPhoenix12]

I find it funny that he complains that it was to short because it took part of an afternoon to finish. Its DLC. It isn't expected to take a huge amount of time to beat.

[iutlu]

this is not overlord, this is OVERLOAD

[Viaak]

At first i thought this DLC was terrible, but after i got in the main base story became great.

[apple855]

Overlord sucked IMO . Shawdow broker ftw

[BIGCHEESYC0W]

Default Shepard doesn't suit scars

[6799killer]

am I the only one who always see the ads for rage

[1337H4xx0r90]

i learned the square root of 906.01 thanks to this dlc.

[ProblmSolvd]

@1337H4xx0r90 if only edi had taken over, we could all calculate PI all day long just because joker was a tool

[dumbcheese123]

@1337H4xx0r90 is 30.1

[lockon1994]

@1337H4xx0r90 how and wHy

[StealthyWalrus2]

@1337H4xx0r90 Is 30.1 it all seemed harmless...

[anjica123]

i only liked the last mission.. but the part before that is boring

[Timoooje]

I loved the M.A.K.O. I really did. It was so fun :)

[Silenthunter287]

I didn't enjoy the Hammerhead at all due to its limited armor,weapons,linearity of its missions,inability to save while in the vehicle,and can only be used in DLC specific missions.I don't see how it surpasses the Mako

[metroyt696]

PINCHES JOTOS

[FragMan69]

Overlord alone could be made into a movie. The ending totally fucked my shit.

[Daimen555]

Does anyone know if and when there will be a game of the year edition with all the dlc? If anyone has heard anything or knows anything about it please reply. Thanks.

[Thespacklerfier]

Ofcourse its short when you play on the easiest difficulty

[TheUncommonMistake]

The ending made me cry.

[RE4kicksyourass]

@TheUncommonMistake why?

[ParadoxV666]

Sentinal FTW!

[cessebesse]

The ending of overlord was probably in my top 5 moments of gaming. Was stunned for an hour afterwards.

[IndoneVoid]

NO !!! NOT THE COW !!!!

[gpardini97]

miranda always says to me : there s a lot to do sheperd, maybe another time, and i aways did thing s in her favor , help?

[SwingDancer61]

@gpardini97 Did you accidently tell her that you wanted to be friends? I didn't have any problem with Miranda. After her loyalty mission, she should start showing some interest.

[klaos9999]

you know when you WANT to love a game but you just CAN'T get into it......thats Mass effect for me

[daonejorge]

@klaos9999 well go back to cod then
