I'll try insanity from a new character, as I don't want to have to complete 2 more playthroughs. It took me right at 51 hours for my hardcore playthrough.

Which brings me to another question--can you complete insanity with only doing barebones missions and little/no sidequests?

Yes you can.

Who knew being choosing Renegade options would work so well. I tried with Samara but got shot down.

I'm almost done with Insanity:ohnoes: Still have some loyalty missions to clear up. Don't know if I can brave Grunt's though.

Grunt's loyalty mission isnt hard at all. I was very much dreading it before I played it on my Insanity runthrough, but I my tune changed.

Here is what I did and maybe this will help:
[Show spoiler] for the Varrens and the fire breathers DONT EVER STAY IN COVER just play ring around the rosies and pick them off. If they do get too close just run away and reposition yourself and keep doing it. Your squadmates will do a lot of the work. I did this and never lost my shield ONCE. As for the thresher maw just pay stay on the side of stairs where you push the button opposite the side of thresher maw is. Dont try and kill it. Just survive. The krogan ambush can be tough but its nothing you cant handle just focus firepower on the closest one.

Cool. I may give it a shot. I ran through Mordin's loyalty mission really easy.
[Show spoiler]The Krogan and Vorcha were no trouble at all. The Thresher Maw was the only thing I was worried about but I won't know until I try.

Very easy to avoid. Just stay by the steps on the opposite side. Remember that you DONT HAVE TO KILL IT.

Well I have finished my 3rd playthrough of this game in less than a month. I think I need a break.

I would rather talk about Mass Effect 3.

I am curious does anyone think that this is now the best game on the PS3?

I think its better than Uncharted 2 by a little bit.

IMO, the 360 lost FAR AND away its best exclusive franchise.

I'll agree with you on that one. But in my opinion this is one of the best games ever made. Period!

Colossus was a pushover. Getting to her securely was the issue.

I think I'm more then half done with one game in less then a month. I get to miss tomorrow morning's usual game time. Stupid job!;)
