Just finished it. 51 hours 26 minutes. Longer than the time it took me to finish ME1, which is about 40 hours. I don't think you can get the level 30 achievement on playthrough 1, as I did everything possible and only ended up with level 28.

The final segment was very tense. However the very last fight is a bit anti-climatic. In the end, I don't think it's necessarily better than ME1, but still a great game!

over 50h? how did you manage to do that? i scanned like almost all systems to depletion, did all sidequests + dlc-missions, had everyone loyal and still only got about 35 hours :shock:

i mean it is definitely a plus to the first game where it lasts only about 20+ hours until your done - so way more game for the money you spend, but i don't know - is there a part of the game i missed?

Well, I usually take far longer than most people to finish a game. Not sure why, maybe because I'm very thorough with everything. Heck, it took me over 100 hours to finish Dragon Age :P I did everything you could possibly do in ME2, including all N7 missions by visiting every single planet. I also spent a lot of time talking with team members, reading codex, scanning and mining minerals, and even read a lot of the planet descriptions.

SPOILER!!!! Highlight to see.
Did you lose any team members at the end?

hmm okay, i didn't read through all the texts, figured most of them wouldn't tell me something substantially new compared to part 1, then again, maybe i'll take a look some time later (i totally like this universe and the work of drew karpyshyn - so i also got the novels, both CEs, the comics so far, and and and ... )

to your hidden question, no i didn't - if you want to know how i did that i can pm it to you;
funny thing is i managed to get all achievements in 1 run through except the lvl 30 one, even with all DLCs so far; lets hope "Kasumi" (placeholder(?) for the next teammate to come i think) and the "Anti-Grav-Tank" DLCs, or whatever may come (they're all just pretty much rumors so far) offer more exp to finish this one - i don't like being forced to do the game over again just to get the 2 final lvls.

Regarding my question, I also did not. Just wanted to see what people did. I'll send you a PM.

Well, I'm fairly close to wrapping the game up now... not 100% certain how close I am to the end, although given that I've got all the characters, lotaltied them up, am through the Omega 4 Relay etc... can't be too much further to go.

Have to say, while I really enjoyed this game prior to a just-before-Omega-Relay event, since then I've been scratching my head trying to figure out why I'm just not finding it fun any more. What more I've played has just been a horrible slog that I'd rather not have had to go through.

I think I'll go back to Dragon Age...

You are very close to the end. Which part do you find to be slow?

Just finding the combat to be tedious. That's my main complaint. Husks. Husks. Collectors. Oooh! More Husks... boredboredboredboredboredboredbored...

Finished, level 25, 34 hours ish, didn't explore world so probably missed a handful of missions, but I'm glad that the last mission in this game was by far the most fun, there are so many games where the last level is such a letdown.

Were we playing the same game? I felt the end was a letdown of epic proportions. :(

...am I too demanding or something? 8)
