We see dead people: Mass Effect 2 cover revealed

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.c...fect2boxes.jpg

Mass Effect 2 may not be ready to save the galaxy until next year, but its cover art is all set to sell some pre-orders. The box features what may be Wrex (but, all Krogans look alike. Racist!), what appears to be a sexy version of Ashley (or Miranda Lawson... or Dead Space Girl) and the same dude from the original Mass Effect cover. We have NO IDEA who this guy is! He never appears in the game, but EA and BioWare keep insisting on putting him on the box and in the commercials. Maybe his identity will be revealed in the third installment.

As we all know, Commander Shepard (not present on the cover) is a beautiful black woman with striking green eyes.

There is a very nice piece on Mass Effect 2 in the Gametm Currently onsale at CNA. Has Mass Effect as a cover page. Very interesting indeed.

Bull ... she's a red-head with green-eyes (at least you got the eye-color right :p)

I'm amped for #2 ... the first Mass Effect gave me more gameplay than any game I've played over the past 5 years.

Any word on the story? (Sorry, I'm too busy (read: lazy) to search for it :D)

U both wrong. Shapard is an Asian looking man with a scar over his right eye and an blue skinned alien in his bed.

Story in two is leaking out very very slowly. Nothing to specific yet.

Re-playing Mass Effect 1 in anticipation for this!

Wanted to play through this time being a little more nice, but I just can't resist being an ass in these games - It's just SOO much fun! KOTOR did the whole good / bad thing way better, but this game is still great.

Also started replaying Mass Effect 1 on my side, but I'm doing it in short bits and pieces.

For a change I'm actually being a little less nice - pinning a dude up against the wall gives some definite results - and guarantees some Renegade points :)

hehe, yeah I always start these games saying I'm gonna be an evil bastard but then can't help being good and nice even though they're only digital people. Damn my good naturedness. :rolleyes:

Yeah I also played through on harder difficulties since honestly I found this game reeeeeal easy. If I had played on normal it would have been dull.

Everything but the blue skinned alien everyone knows commander Shepard is a Pacific Islander (lady of course) with blue eyes and red hair.

That cover looks awesome. Can't wait for that game to come out.

I have finished it both renegade and paragon style. Done both styles with a female character and the paragon with a male character.

Love it! Can't wait for it next year. Might need to recap on the first one's story line a bit though

I've gone through a single play through as a paragon vanguard... I dunno if I should restart as a full combat female renegade...I saved ****** for romance achievement

There should have been an option to let both of them die for a massive renegade point boost and a "How to Lose Friends & Alienate People" achievement :)

Option 1: Save ******
Option 2: Save ******
Option 3: Screw this. I'm going home.

Haha agreed... I missed out on the majority of the game completion with X race on my first playthrough... guess I needed to do more side quests :(

Played as a paragon soldier on my first play through. Second playthrough will be as an ***hole.

I skipped most of the side quests too and as a result the game felt terribly short :(.

It's really worth the play though again, but on the hardest difficulty. Normal is way too easy ;)

If you go through all the side quests it'll feel horribly long :D

I think I did 31 or 32 hours on my first pass through.

The main quest was short, but intense. The majority of the side quests were very generic and shallow. Almost as if they threw a few nouns and verbs in to a randomizer to generate the side quests.

Example:
Go to (Planet A/Planet B/Ship A), that uses (Map 1/Map 2), and kill a group of (Mercs/Husks/Biotics), then (Kill/Talk to/Activate) a (Character/Terminal).

Listening to all the "incoming" messages was getting pretty tiresome after awhile though :/

I loled.

I found the bland homogeneity of the planet terrains particularly egregious. Not even a flipping tree.
