And the hack/bypass were much more interesting than mass effect 1's little get the arrow to the center for every single thing. Gas seemed pretty pointless. I liked scanning more than the mako, but it could have definitely been improved upon. Fewer possible nodes worthwhile in each planet so you don't spend 10-20 probes on each planet and instead 5-10 big scores per planet would've definitely cut down on the boredom factor. The drop-ship feature is definitely better than driving around in the mako over silly mountains to get to some mercenary camp. However, having the mako in more select spots and missions would've definitely been enjoyable. | ||

Liked: How the decisions from ME1 were carried forward, the Salarian professor, the hacking/bypassing mini-games, the slightly more robust combat system, + Show Spoiler + Legion and his loyalty mission, the Collector ship boarding mission, Tali'Zorah's character and loyalty mission Hated: The ubiquitous lack of depth: numerous but shallow characters; annoyingly repetitive mission design - fly in, shoot some guys running around copy-paste "cover", watch cutscene, fly out, repeat; primitive team "loyalty" system (they could've at least made it so that you cannot make everyone happy at the same time); lack of inventory/customization. Silly ammo mechanic and instantaneous health regeneration. Excruciatingly boring scanning mechanic. Almost no development of the main storyline. And last but not least + Show Spoiler + the WTF was that o_Oa ending that absolutely killed any believability of the main storyline for me. Grinding humans (?) for "genetic material" (??) to build gigantic human-shaped cyborg spaceships (?!?!?!!) that can *reproduce* ?.. Yeah, right. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + I just wish I had gone directly to the Omega 4 relay to save Kelly! Seeing her get liquefied was traumatic. | ||

The ammo system was a strange change. I couldn't help but feel that we somehow slipped backwards in technology. Hey guys, we've invented guns that don't need any ammo! Awesome! Now let's revert to a clip-based ammo system, kk? I found that frustrating in certain situations where I really wanted to use my favorite gun, etc. Also, seriously you can *only* find heavy weapon ammo/power on missions? Don't tell me the Normandy's reactor can't charge up my guns between levels -.-;; I agree there were a few too many characters and not much in the way of development for them. The renegade interrupts were hilarious. I jumped at probably every opportunity to do that. I still can't decide if I liked the combat from ME1 or 2 more. I hated not being able to crouch unless behind cover, and I felt like I depended sooooo much more on cover this time around. I play a vanguard, so charging wildly into the enemy and blasting away with machine guns and shockwaves was less exciting when I had to hide immediately to recharge my shields ever 3-4 seconds. The lack of an inventory was also sort of a bummer. While I hated going through loads of trash items in ME1, it was still fun to be able to customize all my weapons. And the ending was odd. + Show Spoiler + Fighting a giant terminator fetus? lol wat? | ||

Also as a vanguard I found fortification to be immensely helpful for the charge, shotgun to face, shockwave routine. + Show Spoiler + And the Mordin safe-sex speech was amazing. | ||

Oddly enough I got cloak to only lv 2. I mostly used Heavy incenerate and heavy reave to rape faces. Got lv 4 disruptor ammo also along with Assassin specialization O.o I really liked the game. Was fun, I'm very proud everyone survived at the end. End game was a little suprising but also very interesting. Can't wait for the epic 3rd part of the trilogy! In ME3 we need exploring planets back by ourselves. But this time in jetpacks, like in Giant: Citizen Kabuto with the Mecs! | ||

These are the changes: Fixed video hitching and crashes related to single core machines. Single core users may experience short periods of black screen that may last up a few seconds between level loads, cinematic transitions or movies. In rare cases, some single core users may notice dialog lines in certain conversations may be delayed up to a few seconds. Fixed an issue where it appears ammunition can be picked up, but can't. Fixed an issue where all Codex entries were marked as 'viewed', even if the player chose not to view them. Fixed an issue where weapon icons are re-organized after downloadable content is used. Fixed an issue where pressing F9 after the mission completion screen reset Shepard to Level 1. Fixed an issue where remapping the right mouse button blocks camera control in the command HUD. Fixed an issue where remapping the 'use' command affects the decryption minigame. Fixed an issue where users were not prompted to restart when logging in to a different EA Online account. Fixed an issue where movies do not play in DLC. It is recommended that players reset their keyboard mapping to default values to ensure proper vehicle control. Added useful messaging during the ME1 save game import. Weapon icon for henchmen never changes from Collector Assault Rifle. Czech language - Issues with Czech localization (subtitles) were amended, all text was corrected and improved. Fixed an issue where the Mass Effect 2 launcher was being associated with files that have no extension. Fixed an issue where uninstalling the game under Windows Vista or Windows 7 might uninstall Mass Effect 1. | ||
