The part about assembling a team, for instance, is obvious from the pre-launch videos. The lead in this particular article doesn't give away anything absolutely crucial, such as the ending. The same goes for movies that someone wants to learn more about they usually want a quick idea of the plot. I assume that you are very familiar with the game's plot already, but think of it from a person who has never heard of the game before and wants to learn more about it providing a brief idea of the plot is useful when reading the lead section. This is standard practice among video game articles, so as to provide a general idea of what the game is about.

MondoManDevout ( talk) 18:13, 8 November 2010 (UTC) The lead is intended to summarize the article, including the plot. I will do so myself.Дў) The guidelines page also stipulates, 'When including spoilers, editors should make sure that an encyclopedic purpose is being served.' What is the encyclopedic purpose for including a spoiler in the lead section and not under plot summary? Two things:ДЎ) I am advocating instead for moving the pertinent material instead to the plot summary section. I am aware that the spoiling of the plot by the material is not a sufficient reason to delete the entry. I have taken a look at the guidelines for Spoilers under Wikipedia: Why is it necessary to include a spoiler in the lead section for the article? Wikipedia has already caught some flak from the practice of not including disclaiming in the plot summary sections: Caidh ( talk) 13:19, 31 October 2010 (UTC) Unnecessary Spoiler Shepard, along with Jacob and Miranda, is sent to investigateД©5.246.195.50 ( talk) 11:39, 31 October 2010 (UTC) Thanks for pointing that out - its fixed now. Shepard, along with Jacob and Miranada, is sent to investigate And it is a word it's an adjective, and so is used properly in 'Illusive Man', as well.

contribs) 02:57, 9 October 2010 It actually is 'Illusive' in the game.

Preceding unsigned comment added by Docdocharper ( talk The correct spelling is found within the game itself, as well as the majority of current game reviews, documentation and other reference material for the game. Illusive is not an actual word, and appears to be a mass-propagated typo threaded throughout the Mass Effect articles. Please change all reference to Illusive Man to read Elusive Man.

Anyway, I'll just use the two million copies for now, just so that both figures are the same. Then, during an investor conference call in May 2010, they said that they had sold a total of 1.6 million copies (I can't tell if this is for only the first quarter, which I think it is, or up to that point). About a month after release, they announced that the game sold 'over two million copies' in the first week. Which one of these stats is the correct one? -Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.6.61.204 ( talk) 17:12, 1 October 2010 (UTC) Here's what EA announced.

However, in the first paragraph, it states that 2 million copies were sold in the first week of release. scripts) 01:51, 11 October 2010 (UTC) Copies Sold ДЄt the very end of the article it, it states that Mass Effect 2 has sold 1.6 million copies during it's run.

Of course, it would need to be kept to only a few lines so as to not outweigh the positive reception in the section, since the game did receive critical acclaim. For instance, perhaps a video game magazine noting that hardcore fans of the first game feeling let down by the plot of this episode.

contribs) 20:06, 22 September 2010 (UTC) Sure, if you can find reliable sources backing these sentiments up-meaning no blogs or forum posts.

It's just a suggestion but shouldn't the reception section reflect that as well? -Preceding unsigned comment added by MisterMida ( talk There is also a significant amount of fans (and a few critics) who feel disappointed in the overall plot, some of the gameplay changes and lack of RPG. While it can't be denied that ME2 is well received, I feel that the article right now only represents the positive critics.
