DEAR MASS EFFECT 2: WHY AM I NOT ABLE TO INVERT THE X AXIS

SERIOUSLY, WHY

No, really, this game allows you to choose the sex of the main character and customise his or her appearance to a considerable degree and alter your armour and choose which skills to improve when you level up, options options everywhere, and yet they couldn't include an

I'm actually really angry about this. The only indication on the game box that you don't get to decide what happened in the previous game if you buy it preowned is in tiny, tiny text on the back. If I'd known this, I would have bought the bloody game new! They obviously made it DLC as an incentive to make people buy it new; make it clear! As it is, the DLC costs almost as much as the game itself; buying the game new would have been much cheaper.

I'm going to see if I can get my money back and buy a new copy instead.

EDIT: NO WAIT APPARENTLY ALL THE CERBERUS NETWORK CODES EXPIRED IN JANUARY ANYWAY, WHAT THE HELL

EDIT AGAIN: ...e-except I just tried the code in my box anyway, in a fit of desperation, and it seems to be downloading even though it's apparently an expired code from a preowned game? So I had the extraordinary luck of buying a game previously owned by someone game-savvy enough to trade in but not game-savvy enough to redeem their code? And, moreover, that code still works despite being past the expiration date on the box and on the e-mail I got when I made my EA account?

It seems entirely too good to be true. I'm not going to believe it until it's finished downloading and I can actually access the content. We'll see.

FINAL EDIT: ...well, aren't I the luckiest little preowned-game buyer in the galaxy?

Iiiiii think that they actually made the Cerberus Network/Genesis content free in preparation with ME3? Or something? I know the same thing happened when I bought my pre-owned copy, anyway.

I AM SO SORRY FOR FREAKING YOU OUT

Well, now you'll be able to see some more neat content, anyway! And have greater control over the major choices of the previous game! I just know if that you go in cold you'll have killed Wrex by default, and that is a TRAGEDY.

...I can't decide which is more stupid - porting the sequel and not the recent original, or not packaging the backstory choices with the ported sequel. Stupid EA. Anyway, yaaay! Good luck in the game! Try not to be too furious over marketing decisions made by amoebas when you play it! D:
