You know what? It really was.
I have to question the sanity of anyone who found that thing fun. And I'm not just being facetious for once. Mass Effect had some of the worst driving levels I've seen in a 3D game.
In order to get everything you had to take ridiculously circuitous routes without enemies, items, varying level design. It was not a high point for the game.
...there were levels? I just grabbed that sucker, drove around, looked for random things and hopped out and shot up some enemies. Countless missions, all mostly the same, but you can generally say the same for Tetris, Pac-Man and so forth. Hell, you could say the same for every FF battle you hop into. Whereas they got rid of the Mako in favour of... scanning. [sarcasm]Oh boy. I feel so refreshed with this much more entertaining option of things to do.[/sarcasm]
Mako missions were a nice way of leveling up and they weren't always the same (and certainly lasted longer than five seconds), which is more than I can say for the replacement options. The amount of time I spent doing Mako missions was significantly higher than 2/3's options, and it was significantly more fun.
The MAKO: Driving vertically since 2007.
I don't mind the thing too much, I just love the rage it instills in everyone.
I honestly can't ever remember controlling any vehicles in ME2. Did this come out much later than the game or something? If so, again, it doesn't count if I couldn't play it. :p
Except that Tetris, Pac-Man and FF don't tend to suffer from things like boring controls and absolutely nothing to do.
The Mako was like Pac-Man if he just kept moving right down a corridor endlessly eating dots. No maze, no corners, no ghosts, no power ups. Just moving. Or Tetris if all you had was a single column and the straight blocks.
The Mako was you controlling something to get to a certain place, and if you felt like it, you could dick around with a tank to shoot things with. I really don't get how that equates to holding one down the up button. If you simply held down one button on the Mako (which is what you would need to do in your rather pathetic analogies/comparisons/whatever the hell those were) then you would not finish any Mako missions whatsoever.
I think you guys were doing it wrong. :smash:
...did you guys never actually go to the random colonies that had been invaded by Geth?
