Well I like games more for the story, characters, musiq, and atmosphere, not for the gameplay. I didn't like Massm Effect 1 cuz it seemed really boring and hardly any character interaction with all characters talking together. I thought the sotry was horrible. It was a mess. The characters were bland too. The musiq was good though. Now i'm wondering if i'll like part 2 much better than the 1st cuz I read the character descriptions and they sound intriging. I heard there is no story in part 2 if that's so that sucks. Also people said Mass Effect 2 has a worst story than part 1. Well do you recommend this game and why? Also why is it better than the 1st in the categories I was talking about. I don't care about gameplay...thanks

[praetor_alpha]

short answer: probably not, especially if you don't play for gameplay. I thought that ME1 had more of what you listed you liked.

The only way to find out mate is to play it for yourself. See if a pal will lend you the game for a few days, and then if you like it you can get your own. Due to the game being different in story I would say yes it is worth it. But the game is also combat heavy, so if you don't like shoot em ups, it might not be for you.



But like I said chief, try it yourself before taking anyone elses word for it.

You don't care about gameplay? That's a shame cause it's pretty good in Mass Effect 2. It's a big improvement over number 1, somewhat different, but overall the gunplay and biotics handle way better. The main mission's story is minimal. You'll be more interested in your squad's personal stories. And these characters are far from bland. Their stories are substantial and will more than make up for the small main mission.

It's been a while since release. You can find the game for pretty cheap now (in the USA at least). You should give it a try, any gamer owes it to themselves.



I do agree with the squadmates lacking banter. There's very little showing that the squadmates have any sort of relationship with each other outside of a handful of arguments that'll pop up on the Normandy. I'd like to see the characters talk more amongst themselves and acknowledge each other more in Mass Effect 3.

Dude. ME1 was perfect for character interaction and story. But ME2 failed on that. Just as they failed with combat.

There are a fair number of negative Nellies on this board, but overall, I'd say the character development in ME2 is more in depth. Without spoilers, the basic gist is that you round up a bunch of people for the final mission, with two missions that are dedicated to each character. So, for those two missions, you'll see a lot of that character, then they get more or less shelved unless you move in a snuggle bunny direction. Generally, that's what people are complaining about when they talk about the difference in plot arcs between ME1 and ME2.



The combat is smoother, but the skill trees are more compact. Inventory has been eliminated, in favour of a research system that gives better weapons and armour to all characters who can use them. The Mako is gone, and there is a somewhat bland minigame for resource collection instead (there is a free DLC with a hover tank, however)



I think that covers it. I loved ME1, so it's unsurprising that I liked ME2 as well. But if your main complaint was lack of character development, ME2 would be worth a try.

ME2 failed in combat?

[Shotokanguy]

No, because I liked Mass Effect 1 and 2 for characters, story, gameplay, etc.

I think they're both good games.

The Combat System in ME2 was mediocre at it's best. No enemy snipers? A few missing critters? An area which you can see from miles above that there'll be a combat? THERMAL CLIPS?

Shouldn't you go and read a book?

Of course. Because books are certainly interactive like video games.

Sorry I disagree it made up for the first ones Control and cover flaws.......haters gonna hate?

[treesnogger]

For the cover, just press your Sheps body at the obstacle. Heck, you even could duck! People in ME2 forgot to duck, it's old school. Control flaws? Which? The Mako? If you race across the map straight forward no wonder it's getting stuck at some edgy hills. Just read the map proper. I never encountered a control flaw in ME1

And I don't hate ME2. It's a good game. It just could've been better..

Seriously, if combat areas weren't filled with crates this very same guy would start complaining about a leg of cover. It's always something.

[Onyx Jaguar]

"Hugging" the wall for cover is extremely imprecise, the same flaw that the GRAW games have. "Sticky" cover works better. Plus the sticky cover auto ducks.

[Darth_Trethon]

ME2 has a MUCH better story. The story in ME2 is all out amazing while the ME1 story is meh at best. The combat has been improved a trillion times and the graphics are a billion times better. Then there is no more BS junk management.

ME2 is much better in every conceivable way but adds one minor hickup.....scanning for minerals....fortunately this is easy to mod on both the 360 an PC so no real flaws to speak of. This is quite literally a perfect game.

Better story? A tear dropped from my eye. The "story" in ME2 was: "Kick those Collectors Asses, because you're shepard. And oh, bye the way, maybe you recruit some people all over the galaxy and make some quests for them as they aren't pleases with a huge stockpile of money they receive from Cerberus".

[RurouniSaiya-jin]

I'll answer your question as someone who thought ME 1 was okay, not good, great or amazing. In terms of characters, ME 2 is a big improvement over the ME 1 bunch (for reference, I only liked Wrex among the ME 1 crew). The biggest reason for this is that the characters take the center stage this time. A lot of emphasis is put on building your team, gaining their loyalty and preparing them for the suicide mission so the characters get a lot more attention. Story is...okay, pretty much like ME 1 but this is coming from someone who thinks the overall main story in all Bioware games he's played so far are okay at best. Music actually feels like a minor step down from the first Mass Effect.



So overall, I guess the important factor on whether you'll like it or not is if you can live with the story part. I'll leave that up to you to decide, preferably on impressions that aren't mine.

Okies, I like these forums. There's a lot of fun, silly people here. And I get great tips on how to play and such. But what I don't get is why some people who clearly don't like ME2 keep posting here (and those who don't like ME1 can be found on the...ME1 forum, of all places).



Look, last month I bought KOTOR. A lot of people really like it. I didn't, so I stopped playing it. Yes, miffed at the money I spent, but life goes on. I don't search for KOTOR forums so I can go there and post about how it's a terrible game compared to ME1/ME2/Bioshock/Peggle, etc.



Hmm...perhaps I'm not cut out for teh internetz.

Greatly oversimplified and conveiently ommited everything that makes the story great. From that perspective ME1 was the same thing except 10 times shorter, money from council and absolutely no plot twists or anything interesting to speak of.

ME2 starts out with an amazing plot twist and sets you on a quest to stop a completely unknown enemy by recruiting and hopefully controlling the best and most dangerous people in the gallaxy but each and every one have a remarkable story and personality. Then the game ends with even more amazing plot twists that are made of pure amazingness and you make far more and more important choices than you did in ME1 where ME1 only had one meaningful choice really.....the rachni queen....ME2 offers at least a half dozen grand choices. Not to mention all the possible endings that you can get as a outcome of your choices......everything matters in ME2 while next to nothing mattered in ME1.

[InvaderErl]

I like ME2 and had serious problems ME1 so... maybe?
