Mass Effect 2

[Slothy]

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.

What's to fix?

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.
