Mass Effect 2

[Dreddz]

Hopefully they can fix the combat in this one.

What's to fix?

I’m one of the few that weren’t crazy about the first one. They story didn’t pick up until near the end and even though the universe seems large yet they only populated it with a dozen alien species and gave you very small spaces to explore.

I’ll probably play ME2 later on but I’m not really excited for it.

I'm with you, and for the single reason I am a complete sony fanboy who cannot admit microsoft did something better than any game released purely for the ps3.

I fixed your statement.

How does not liking the game make me a PS3 fanboy? Especially when I bought it on the PC? It just wasn't that well done. The dialogue choices didn't matter to the overall story, and the story itself was pretty run of the mill sci-fi, and the combat was kind of mediocre. Not to mention the sidequests just didn't draw me in and exploring random planets was pretty damn boring. I'm sorry I didn't jizz in my pants like the original game was the second coming of Jesus.

I'm not sure why he wants the combat fixed, but it wasn't very interesting in the first game. For regular enemies you could pretty much just pop out from behind cover, shoot the enemy until your gun was about to overheat, pop back behind cover, rinse and repeat. Bosses weren't really more complicated than throw up a couple of buffs and debuffs and do the same thing. It wasn't terrible, but there wasn't a lot of strategy and it was rarely that difficult.

I'll give the new game credit in that I like a lot of the changes I've been hearing they made to the combat system, but I'm still not going to get the game anytime in the forseeable future.

[Ouch!]

I'm going to go ahead and guess you never played on Insanity like a real man.

Or Insanity starting a new character, either.

Considering you have to play through the game multiple times to unlock Insanity, if he got bored with the combat system, he most likely never made it that far.

Also, to be honest, I wasn't too thrilled with the quality of the higher difficulties. The primary difference was that the enemies would deal more damage and could take a ton more hits (seriously, every enemy, even Husks, seemed to have Immunity, it was stupid).

Enemy immunity is explicitly stated as an aspect of the higher difficulties

This is a fair point and one I had not considered.

*snip*So, you're excited, but the rest wasn't necessary and I do censor it ~hero

[Psychotic]

And yet we censor smurf and

Double standards there, sport. For shame.

I borrowed ME from a friend a while back and got real damn far in it, but had to give it back. I thought it was awesome but I wasn't dazzled by the combat (not to say it was bad) and the parts where you were driving around planets to mine ores and in your little Rover couldn't have been more boring. Also the elevator sequences pissed me off although there were some funny announcements. That being said it is likely I will pick up Mass Effect 2 at some point down the road, probably not on launch, 'cause if possible I wanna finish the first.

The announcement of Francis Kitt's all-Elcor production of Hamlet remains one of the funniest moments in any videogame ever.

Combat was fairly easy as soon as you get access to the first level of spectre gear, I ended up have having a full set for all of my characters not long after making it to the Citadel.

I still haven't finished the first Mass Effect. Daniel kees bugging me to finish it before I start the second one so I can transfer my game over. If I have time and get back into I will. I know Daniel is VERY about Mass Effect 2, if I had the money I would buy it for him. =/
