Mass Effect 2 Achievements revealed photo

Mass Effect 2 is almost a month from retail release. If I put on my space visor and squeeze my eyes shut real tight, then I can totally see the box in my hands. As a bonus I suppose, I can also see vibrant stars and neon-blue space rocks whizzing past the void I’ve created. Momma said doing this was bad -- I could pop my eyehole or something to that effect. But doing that is nowhere near as bad as sifting through the leaked Achievements list for ME2, which essentially spoils the game. 

If you’re the brave sort, adventure beyond the break. A full list of 50 Achievements for the sci-fi RPG follow-up is available for your pleasure. But don't say we didn't warn you about the whole spoiler thing.

I'm glad the Long Service Medal can be obtained by importing a character, which I plan to do. I beat the first at least 3 times but I somehow lost, or stupidly deleted, my save data every time inbetween. All the rest sound pretty similar to the first game though.

So how bad is it? The spoiler content? Should I look?

@Xzyliac

I pretty much forced myself not to pay attention if I saw the words 'complete' or 'mission' or 'ally.'

That said, there were a lot that used those words. They seem focused toward story related things, as the first was, with a few random 'kill 20 enemies this way' type of things. And the typical Hardcore playthrough, 2nd playthrough etc.

@Xzyliac: There's nothing spoilerish here. All the characters have codenames, so it's not revealing anything.

I got to say, I'm not feeling the new trust system though. I remember having a hard time with something similar in KOTOR 2. Unless BioWare have improved on Obsidian's idea, then I'm remaining cautious.

Sounds like an easier 1000 than the first one.

I took a chance and read them all, luckily they don't give any info that I hadn't already been made aware of through previews.

Looks like I'll be able to get all these, just like in the first ME.

Achievements just seem so arbitrary sometimes, shouldn't the game itself give you a self of Achievement without having to flash some notification to you on the bottom of the screen, just saying you know

Thanks guys. It wasn't bad at all.

@pakard26
Why do people feel a need to adress how they don't like the Achievements system everytime we post Achievements? Why not just ignore it? The majority of Achievements are collected by just playing the game anyway.

It seems like focusing on how arbitrary they are is what makes them arbitrary.

Get everyone to have sex with everyone in really awkward, pseudo-artsy scenes taking cues from 300, Starship Troopers, and general inexperience.

@Xzyliac They're arbitrary because they have no value other than what we place in them. It's like epeen measuring at it's worst because in no way are any of the achievements for skill, rather a longevity of time investment. In this very way is how they keep you playing the game, what for? Xbox 360 stats mostly to keep track of who's playing what the most. For what? So they can report how well their game is doing. PS3 only does this because these fools like it, and if the people want poison who's to stop them right?

Ridiculous, hell even freaking PC does this crap now, it's like the equivalent to a gold star in first grade. Arbitrary to everyone except the person who invests in getting those gold stars.

Ain't it cute.

Better then ME1's achievements. Happy to see that I don't get awards for being good or bad.

Saw these like two days ago, Dtoid staff should check x360a.org out more often!

Hmm, "Friend of Foe" at the end of the recruitment achievements supports the idea that there's a recruitable Geth character.

@jsut: Without spoiling much - bingo. His pic is on the achievement icons.

I love when people(pakard29) post things like "hey I don't like this so why is dtoid posting this." Almost as much as I love people(Tarvu) who post things like "hey dtoid, I saw this somewhere else that isn't dtoid" as if Dtoid shouldn't post it. I used to frequent Joystiq, Kotaku, etc. But now I get (almost) all my gaming news from Dtoid. TL;DR: STFUAJPG.

@Mass Effect2 achievements: I shall have you all this time around, it seems! They're not too spoilery, kinda knew/assumed most of them and I couldn't be more stoked to play it!

@Volomon
So should we get rid of leaderboards because they encourage that same behavior?

Actually I like that idea.
Volomon's Avatar - Comment posted on 12/22/2009 13:59

@Xzyliac Actually, ya, imagine the lower impact it would have on people cheating, people camping. Back in the day on PC games where they allowed you to play on leaderboards or not I'd pick nonleaderboards. They have no meaning to me. I like seeing my K:D and other peoples K:D or stats just for reference but beyond that, the leaderboards are nothing more than who's been playing the most and not who is the best. So again they are just as worthless.

Okay then I agree with you. At least you make sense.

I really couldn't care less. I've never gone out of my way to get Achievements but if people like them whatever.

Hmm,is Archangel Victor the black guy from the trailer? He shows up as a squad member in the recent Gamestop walkthrough of the Normandy. Other than that, all the squad members are already known.

Cool...I like that you this time around have to gain the trust of your squad-mates. I wonder if Garrus will join your squad permanently in ME 2...He was one of my favourites in ME 1.

Archangel is Garrus, and yes you can recruit him as a permanent party member.
