Anyone picking up Mass Effect 2 this week?

[MVP]

Well I'm picking this up tomorrow, but looking at my schedule over the next few weeks, I don't know when I'll have any free time to play it

It's much harder than the first one....especially when(spoiler alert..don't read if you wanna be surprised):

The mission on Omega where you join these mercs but you have to double-cross them in order to save this dude Archangel(who turns out to be Garrus from ME1.) That WHOLE mission...I must have died 20x and I was playing on the normal difficulty..ESPECIALLY on the part where you have to force shutdown the doors before the mercs flank Garrus

All in all my opinion...


Pros:

- Story is 20x deeper and darker than the first

- Heavy Weapons

- The option to perform a Paragon or Renegade action when the indicator pops up on the screen...you can do it or you can just simply not do anything and let things continue

- New biotics look crazy

- The shotgun isn't cheesed out this time around, it actually works like a shotgun

- Shepard actually talks outside of the conversation options you pick for him/her

- Credits are a little easier to come by

- fights are very challenging, but feels rewarding when you finally do beat that tough enemy or boss

Cons

- the new HUD takes ALOT of getting used to, seems too...small

- Scanning planets for materials you might wanna buy upgrades with may be tedious for some

- All the different armors and stuff are no more, you just upgrade the one suit you have

not many cons really.

^^^ I like that though. All these diff armors and stuff give me anxiety

This game looking like a GOTY candidate. And its just the beginning of 2010!
