What tips the scale is that people who say this game is terrible/not good actually go into a lengthy posts describing why it is so while people who claim for it to be awesome just post 1 liners about their delight with the game. | ||

I've seen people complain about parts of the game and indepthly so. I agree with some of their complaints, but as I feel so far and they say - it is still a pretty good game. I can only remember one post here off the top of my head when they say the game was bad. Secondly, others have been right so far. It is common for someone who enjoys something not to take the time to say a lot about it, not just in video games. Most people take the time to review things when they have something bad to say about it. Basically ... I have no idea what you're trying to accomplish in this thread. You've said you won't buy the game because you're sure it will be bad - that's fine whatever, everyone has their opinion. But you continue to post seemingly trying to convince others a game THAT YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED is bad. It makes no sense whatsoever. What are you trolling? | ||

An amazing story (and ending), combat is fast paced and challenging (you die a lot faster in this game), the ammo system just adds another layer to combat and forces you to think, the mini-games aren't that bad imo (just spam probes man), the new characters are awesomeee (Mordin, Grunt, Miranda etc... love them all), and the grahpics are amazing. There are only 2 things I have serious misgivings about. 1. They needed to do a lot more in terms of drama when we meet our old friends. We're gone for 2 years, supposedly dead, and most everyone you meet from your old ship or old friends don't even act suprised and usually don't really care that you're back (which is meh). 2. The fact that armor and weapon customization is basically gone. In ME1, one of the best parts was finding all the best armors and getting the best sets from the best corporations. In this game, the amount of armor is SIGNIFICANTLY less (as well as weapons), and there are no longer "stats" on armor, but rather a few, usually bad, bonuses. Basically, the only way you pick armor in game is based on looks since the armor stats (bonuses) are usually minor. The same applies to weapons. The only diff to them now is basically which style you like most. A burst rifle or a auto? A high dmg 1 shot sniper or 5 shot lower dmg one? A rocket launcher or a ray gun? There are no stats on the weapons  . This aspect is too much FPS and too little RPG.Overall amazing game setting up for an epic finale in ME3. | ||

The game has indeed been massively simplified since ME1 but I don't care. Equipment and upgrades and stuff bores me to death. Some years ago spending hours optimizing my char in games was what I liked the most but nowadays I can't stand it anymore. I even finished the game with an equal Paragon and Renegade score because I didn't give a shit about grinding one or the other and just did what felt natural to me on each occasion. The gameplay is very dynamic and very entertaining. Much better than ME1 overall. I'm really satisfied. My major complaint is that as an adept I didn't have enough points to diversify so I ended up spamming the same one or two techniques for the entire game. But maybe I'm to blame here since I skipped nearly all the secondary quests. I really like the new team members. + Show Spoiler + Miranda excepted. Like Jack from day one I just couldn't stand the Cerberus bitch and said fuck you to the obvious romance option. That leads me to my major complaint. WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I GET LIARA BACK INTO MY TEAM? And all that just to defeat the Shadow Broker. Granted his name is cool but who cares when reapers are threatening the galaxy? I was fucking pissed. At least my savegame is ready for her when ME3 comes. All the cutscenes with Thane are so fucking cool, holy shit. I never took him into my team though - Grunt+Legion all the way. The scenario is pretty good too, + Show Spoiler + altough I expected the Cerberus/Illusive Man relationship to develop more. And holy shit @ the human reaper. I loved the design of that thing. About the ending, + Show Spoiler + ugh what's with this fleet of Reapers? Is this just to build up hype or what? I'll read the thread entirely to see if people already started theorizing about this. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + It was good. I certainly didn't like it any better then the first game. To be honest, it suffers from being the "middle child". While playing the game, I grasped a real feeling of scale, and epicness, but the suddenness of the ending put everything into very narrow perspective. Build a team> Make each loyal> Kill final boss. Human reaper didn't seem to fit the theme of the reapers at all to me. It just seems like a cool idea for a final boss. The way they link it to the story is honestly weak. If they model reapers over the race killed to make them, what the fuck was the reaper from the last game? A slug? And all the reapers during the end credit looked the same... I also am one of those who absolutely loved the driving/planet exploring from the first game. It just made it feel bigger. Even if there was shit all on some planets, the fact that you could land on them made the game feel so... Full. The combat is better, without a doubt, but the skill system and inventory system nearly killed the game for me. Only 2 guns per type or so to collect? That's not more weapons than ME1. I liked putting skills into guns, charm, abilities, etc. It forced you into making real decisions. I liked that. It's a great game, but they removed a lot of what I had expected from it. Maybe ME3 will be as great as my dreams. | ||

I'll definitely give mass effect 2 a play through but I might wait for a sale first. Torrents don't work too well here at school and meh, that's stealing anyway. for mass effect 1 only: + Show Spoiler + zomg just youtube'd and not only can male Commander Shepard get it on with Liara but the female one can too in a lesbo sex scene! Wow.... if someone had bet me 100 dollars there was a possibility for alesbian cut scene in that game I would've taken it... Oh and wtf... the human chick Ashley was not hot and annoying as all hell. Why the hell did I save her instead of Kaiden t.t He was a good heroic guy. But the scene of him dying was pathetic. | ||

How will they justify that for ME 3? When do you think ME3 will come out? | ||

So I would like to begin that me2 is a absolutely awesomely great game. Storyline spoilers + Show Spoiler + While the story was on the whole was, good, it felt a little disconnected. While we know that the reapers are behind everything, there just wasn't any active involvment from them making it a little lame. Also the lack of any council involvement (atleast when I loaded from my saved game when I killed them in ME1) once again, made the game feel a little disconnected. The storyline is something I would've expected to see in an expansion and what I mean by that is, expansions a lot of the time while relating to the normal game, take kind of a inconsequential side plot. Everything else about ME2 is simply a refined version of ME1. The removal of the item system, the mako, and probably some other things that don't come to mind is nice since they were all failures by design. Sniper rifles once again seem imba, since there is nothing really stopping you from taking cover and headshot your enemies when you feel like it. If I wasn't playing me2 on an 8400m graphics card that occasionally has the frame rate crash to 15ish making aiming difficult, the game would've even been easier. On that note, for the most part the game played at a decent frame rate. The unreal 3 engine isn't that demanding. The side missions of ME2 seemed a little lamer than the ME1 were. Not 100% sure about that, haven't played me1 in a while, but I think that's the case. I think there were also fewer, but this is nothing to worry about that much. I probably will replay the game sometime, maybe when more dlc comes out. On that note, while I did buy the game, I am not going to pay for dlc, so I will be pirating that aspect. | ||
