People are saying that all the RPG elements were removed from ME2, but seriously, BioWare just reassigned their RPG element priorities. Instead of getting several types of armour and having to reassign weapons and either sell the rest or turn it into omni-gel, they took that away and added a ton of cool characters, with awesome cutscenes, and for the most part: deep dialogue.


There was certainly a lot of dialogue, and most of it was good, but it wasn't something I would call 'deep'.

That's why I wrote for the most part.

But this isn't the place to discuss what flaws people found in ME2.  There are enough threads for that.
Here, people want BioWare to know that ME2 is loved amidst all the pessimism.

Exactly. Thats why I created this topic. Hmmm now favourite LI from ME2 and why?

Ill go first with Jack. The paragon love scene was awesome, Jack finally came out from her hardass shell and seemed like a person. I know shes abrasive but talk to her and youll like her. They did a real good job with her character.

I agree completely. I play fem shep and never liked playing as male shep in the first one, but I found Jack's character interesting so I did a rush paragon play of ME1 for a male shep to romance her and was rewarded with my favorite LI of the series!

With Garrus, because he's usually such a tough guy, and he's usually cool when talking to Shepard but yet he can't have a simple romantic conversation without getting flustered. And in the end Shepard comforts Garrus when he admits he wants something in his life to go right for once. Aaawwwwww.

I will admit, I miss having a lot of skills to put points into in my characters. I mean, you could make Tali and Garrus a multi-tech-attack using juggernaut, yet that's cut down grandly in the new one,

As much as I value other peoples opinions, there are forms for yours however this topic isnt for this opinion. Please read the OP. This topic is about what we enjoyed of the game, not what we hated

In light of a lot of hate on these forms for today, I have decided to try to get this topic more noticed. People who are regulars here leave a reply of some kind, I dont want to be bumping this just for the sake of it.

Yeah I agree, it was rather entertaining watching Garrus squirm around in the romantic conversations.

I appreciate the culture that BioWare adds to ME. Quotes from Machiavelli and poetry from Tennyson...but Mordin singing a rendition of "Model of a Modern Major General," was the best surprise in a videogame ever!

Another post, but sorry. Thane as an LI is pretty sweet as well.

But then I had another playthrough where I remained with Kaidan, and the scene where Shepard is looking at his photo before going through the Omega 4 Relay is poignant.

Kinda hard to keep the thread alive when there's no real discussion on it. As in, we already agree that the game is great, and -hopefully- we won't start bashing on ME1.

I recently finished a soldier playthrough on ME1 and imported him on ME2, can't wait to try the new guns! It is also the first time I had to kill Wrex. I wonder how will that play out on ME3.

Mass Effect 2 is just about perfect for me.

I've been gaming since 1990 and it's rare that I find a game I care about this much. It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me feel accomplished, it made me care about the characters and had me genuinely worried about them. The fast paced combat, the ammo system which made us feel panicked as we had to swap weapons mid-fight, the global cooldowns which kept the action going with constant streams of powers sent through the battlefield...

Just about everything in this game was absolutely wonderful. I really can't describe this in words. ME2 is one of those few games I give a 10/10 in my personal little book of gaming opinions. I got to shoot badguys like Master Chief, throw them around the room like Luke Skywalker, set them on fire like the Human Torch, run-smash into them like Samus, and hide behind cover after unleashing a nuke that could take down the alien ships in Independence Day. All this without much immersion-breaking pausing.

And I got to talk a lot to lots of interesting, funny and engaging people as well. Whether I felt drawn to Garrus' romantic clumsiness, laughed at Mordin's craziness, turned angry at the same salarian, cheered for the poetic krogan, was strangely drawn to Aethyta on Illium, wanted to hug Tali when she was down and was happy with what I could do for her in the end... the writing is just absolutely amazing, and it blew my expectations out of the water.

This is the first time I feel Bioware touches upon Baldur's Gate 2 in quality once more, and it might actually even have surpassed said game.

I could go on, but I'll just stop. I sound like such an idiot, I'm sure =)

No!  You don't sound like an idiot, ME2 is an awesome game!

Keep your praise up with another post!  ME2 deserves all the praise it can get!

I have to say that ME2 is definitely one of the most emotional games I've played, espeically when characters unexpectedly die. In my first playthrough, I was shocked when Garrus was carried away by a Collector Swarm, and disappointed when Legion was killed by the ship core blowing up. I hadn't upgraded. And since Legion died, and I hadn't recruited Tali, I used Thane as my tech expert, and being shot in the head at the last minute, all I could think of was, "NO! Aw...." :(

Thought I'd post a link to some outside praise for Bioware. I noticed this article while keeping myself up-to-date via IGN; it's all the editors' picks for best game of the year.

xbox360.ign.com/articles/111/1110675p1.html

Notice that the majority put Mass Effect 2 as their number one. I was quite pleased to see this.^_^ Congrats, Bioware!

I really liked Me2, right before I got it I played Me1 just to get back into the feeling. And I was just really immersed in Me2. I loved how combat just actually made me feel like I was threatened, I didn't get that feeling in Me1 because of the way stat's worked. It was nice to feel like I was able to get killed by same enemies later in the game just like in the start.

I don't think I ever cared so much about what would happen to these characters but I did and I wanted to save them all

I hope it wins game of the year. I think it's important to reward games and developers that push the envelop and really progress the industry. ME1 and 2 are extremely unique games that have really enhanced story telling in games.

I know IGN, Xbox magazine, and GameSpot have given ME2 at least 90% reviews, whoo Bioware! The majority of Amazon reviews have also given the game 5/5 stars; this just proves how awesome the game is!

1. When I first started to play ME2 I noticed Shepard had much more emotion ("Garrus!"). I LOVED it!

2. Legion, my favorite video game character ever.

3. Garrus was so undeniably awesome. I just wanted to fist bump him the entire game. (Fist bump for ME3!)

4. I realized how much I missed all my sqaudmates from ME1, which made the renunion with Wrex even more great.

5. SPACE HAMSTER!!

6. After playing ME2 I went back to replay ME1 and realized how much combat has improved.

7.Interrupts. "You're working too hard."

8. Legion. (He gets two spots.)

1. Combat, I seriously can hardly play ME1 anymore because of how irritating I now find the combat after playing ME2's fantastic combat.



2. Characters, I liked all of them so much! My canon Shepard stayed loyal to Liara but I loved Jack's Paragon romance.



3. Interrupts are awesome





That's all for now

I have the same problem, my friend. :( I love ME1, but the I can't play it all the way through without a big gap between play-throughs. I miss the improved combat system in ME2 so much.

I can't wait to see how ME3 improves!

BioWare has pretty much bent over backwards to make the fans appeased.

1--Didn't like the Mako? Gone.
2--Didn't like the micromanagement? Bye-bye to that.
3--Didn't like the RPG elements? They've been greatly reduced.
4--Bored with driving around planets in search of rocks? No more.
5--Wanted Garrus and Tali as romanceable characters? Done (and brilliantly executed).
6--More squaddies? Here, have twice as many new characters.


And the Suicide Mission was fantastic.


1--yes, i love scanning planets rather than exploring them.
2--Buying upgrades for guns with minerals that take hours to gather? 1up.
3--and that's a good thing?
4--no, i'm bored of scanning planets for rocks.
5--no i didn't. (and it was hardly "brilliantly executed") they just used the shy girl stereotype and little 13 year olds loved it.
6--oye, i love spending 80% of my gameplay searching for squadmates rather than saving the galaxy. FunFunFun.

and the suicide mission sucked.

i don't know why i'm responding to a month old post, but wth.
