I am seeing people constantly flame ME2 for plot holes but is it really that bad? Most plot holes are hard to notice anyway and many are there to benefit gameplay (ex. Intact Dog Tags in crates on Normandy crash site mission). In my opinion, Mass Effect 2 has one of the best stories of any game ever, a few plot holes don't bother me, yet for some reason so many people are bothered by them to a ridiculous extent. Things as insignificant as "The SR2 was allowed to dock at the Citadel despite being Cerberus" or "The Human Reaper doesn't make any sense" are blown out of proportion and used as reasons to not like the game.

Just sayin', don't let a few plot holes ruin a game for you.

Thank you for summarizing the ridiculous anti-ME2 sentiment on these forums.

If we don't worry about them and they build up then we will fall through the map and won't be able to load the next mission.

If you were talking about Mass Effect One, I would agree with you wholeheartedly.

But Mass Effect 2 is cheesy like the Holy Swiss Cheese

And I am testifying to it, even after I came up with solution to many a plothole, and gibbed, texmoded and coalesced out many others.

Real life is filled with plot-holes anyway.

if there were no plot holes... these forums would be dead aside from the fan threads.

Bioware... thank you for your plotholes.  They keep the fourm interesting.

There are plotholes that are overlookable and there are plotholes that hurt the gaming experience.

I try to only comment on the ones gaping in front of me like this:

I got a better pic to illustrate what an average ME2 plothole looks like:

People want to look for plotholes, even without substance or without thinking it through. Take a look at some of the arguments against the moon landing being real. Whatever part of the brain that blows plotholes out of proportion has a difficult time reconciling with rational inquiry.

The moon landing is fake and wrestling is real!

Most of the plot holes could have been avoided with a few things changed, and some of them makes no sense, doesn't matter how hard I'm trying to believe the writers.

I just blame it on the new players BioWare wanted to accomodate to the series.

Ah yes, "overly referential", we have dismissed that claim.

It is really that bad.

This isn't about the game.  It's about the plot.  No plot, and the game = pew pew pew.

There are minor plotholes, all stories have plotholes. Then there are major ones that need fixing. Also some "plotholes" are not even plotholes, but are things some people don't understand, even then,all plotholes have counter-arguments.

Some people do this.  It is unfortunate.

It is also unfortuate that you can see small and big holes in every main plot point, and then some on recruitment and loyalty missions.

So a fantastic game needs a good plot? Well then I guess Super Mario Brother is a crappy game then!

It always bugged me, ever since my first ME2 run: Why didn't they call it "Mario Effect"? I mean it's 90% arcade anyway.
