EPTThat being said, the atmosphere is still there, the story seems to be as captivating as ever and overall it's a very good game... just not really an RPG, but an action game. A very good action game, mind you but... I love RPGs more :[

I can't do anything else, so I can't do the black guy's loyalty quest. I'm an honest individual, and am thus actually buying the game, so I can't really help you if I haven't tried it. Anyway, just wanted to inform you all about something on Tuesday that GT has in store for whoever wants to check it out and doesn't mind being spoiled on the first hour of ME2. (Thus, I personally won't watch it, but if you feel like it, go ahead.) http://www.gametrailers.com/video/debut-teaser-hourone/61134 | ||

So my question remains. How the heck do I land on a planet? Do I need to install the DLC? I keep getting messages that anomaly has been detected on a planet, but all I can do is just right click - scan and left click - launch probe. I can't do anything else, so I can't do the black guy's loyalty quest. SIgh, I figured it out. It seems to be extremely tedious. You just have to keep scanning. | ||

I can't do anything else, so I can't do the black guy's loyalty quest. you have to scan for the white dot (theres an arrow on the scaner pointing the way) The game is really awesome, I started playing yesterday after the MSL finals (ended around 12:30 CET) and didn't turn the game of until 4:30 in the morning. it is allot better than the first one, much more smooth with the level ups and especially your gear. I love that I don't have to brows throe 98798687596 ammo/weapon mods to get an effective weapon for the situation I just activate the ammo skill and I got the right set up. absolutely love the game ^^ | ||

That's weird, in my version u can only survey a planet once, and land on it either straight away or after the first surveying. I played soldier and always with Garrus and Ashley, and in ME2 I will stick to Garrus and swap to Miranda. Guess I like f*ckable companions... | ||

I've only played a little, but one of the heavy weapons you get in the beginning is extremely accurate | ||

Some thoughts about the story + Show Spoiler + Ending was okayishhh, felt a bit too easy though, just the same old Collector enemies. Wanted to encounter some of those that you saw in the ship when you ran around with Joker during the attack. I mean after all it was their main ship but it felt like the same as when you first encountered them :/ The partner side missions felt a bit flat too, most of them were laid out in the same way too, go to planet, shoot some stuff, get a cutscene after which they become "loyal" to you. Even if it'd just been codex entries more information and backstory would have been so good. Kinda got too excited about going through the Omega 4 relay too, thought it'd be some real epic mindblowing shit inside the galactic core with the reapers and all... And in the end it turned out to be just more insect grunts to fight, and that skeletor end boss which was piss easy. The Illusive Man felt so weak too, I chose to blow up the Collector base and he was just like "okay" and that was it. All the encounters with him felt like he'd be some uber powerful boss kind of guy, but in the end he really had no control at all. I really hope they evolve him some more in ME3, it really felt like he was going to have another card up his sleeve but it fell flat in the end. All in all, felt like a getting a good movie turned off halfway through and having to wait two years to continue it. Kinda like how I felt after Mass Effect 1  | ||

I'm not sure what's going on. I suspect it's a problem with this particular file as I tested another torrent, openoffice, and got a constant 60+ kb/s. Whatever, it's not like I don't buy bioware games. I guess I'll have to wait an extra day. | ||

All in all, felt like a getting a good movie turned off halfway through and having to wait two years to continue it. Kinda like how I felt after Mass Effect 1 I kind of agree with most of what you said + Show Spoiler + I can't say I didn't enjoy the game, but it wasn't as good as ME1. Instead of fixing things like the inventory and the mako, they just gutted those aspects entirely. That kind of pissed me off. The combat was better in general but I felt like they turned it into Gears of War more than they tried to refine the rpg elements Story wise, you spend 80% of the time just picking up characters and not really progressing the story. This was probably the worst offender of all Bioware games when it comes to the "go to 3 places, then storyline, etc" progression. You don't have to ever work to develop the relationships with your teammates either. They just all tell you about their own little quest after a pre determined amount of time. Then they are suddenly "loyal" Plot wise it seems like we are right back at where we were when ME1 ended because so little of the game actually dealt with the plot The game is either designed with the intent of being fleshed out with tons and tons of DLC (theres virtually no guns/armor/interesting upgrades) or they are just going the complete opposite direction than what I liked about ME1. I don't even feel like I'm advancing my character on my own, I jump through their hoops in the guise of missions and I get a You Win screen telling me I leveled up, then it doesn't let me go back to the place. Still worth playing. I liked ME1 more though. | ||

Yep each loyal party member gives you one bonus skill. | ||
