Anyone who says he's liked the planet scanning is on EA's payroll!

[MrCairo]

Never hated it, just found it tedious and dull.

Mind numbing almost...

For whatever reason I found the exploration in ME1 to make more sense; discovering artifacts, mineral deposits, enemies etc that added to the overall milieu. In ME2 the scanning just seems like someone came up with a last minute ‘mini-game’ they wanted shoved in because hacking for creds and bypassing eleventy million doorways/hatches weren’t.

Don't see how anyone who hates mini games can prefer ME1. Unless the PC version is different ? On the Xbox everything you did required pushing buttons. Find a probe, push some buttons, open a crate push some buttons, take a dump push some buttons.

Ok I made the last one up... But there the was a lot of X.X.A.B crap in ME1.

I did not mind it. I dreaded the alternative of keeping the Mako.

Better was the idea that the minerals were actually useful beyond experience and quest completion.

After the 6th or 7th playthrough it gets a little irritating. That is why I mod all the resources required to my saves now.

oh really?  hmm, they owe me a lot of paychecks then.

is it so hard to beleive that some people might have actualy enjoyed the mechanic?

If you are so easily entertained by that mind numbing excuse for a minigame, why do you even bother playing me2? why not just pick any piece of garbage from addicting games and play that. even the worst game there is better than planet scanning.

[Raizo]

NO.

[Moronic Fool]

Did any like getting their ear torn off? That's pretty much the same thing. HECK NO.

How much do they pay you?

Yes.

Maybe it's like MS Windows' Solitaire. I can't understand people who prefer it to the Minesweeper either.

I found the scanning boring, but it did make the upgrades you could get seem more worthwhile

becasue there's no possible reason for anyone to like a change of pace, right?
you do realize that you don't even have to scan the plannets to discover if there are mission on them - just select a planet, kinda like you did in ME1 and if there's an anomaly (ie mission)  edi will tell you - shot any random place, land, done.  there's a certain minimum of supplies that you need and its extremely easy to aquire, even if you don't edit your save files.

people say that mineral hunting in ME1 was optional...well it was optional the way personal upgrades for your teammates are.  mineral hunting=credits and you need credits to buy upgrades.  not everything that droped for you during missions was actualy usable and good armors/weapons cost an arm and a leg to buy, far more then what you can make from completing missions/selling drops.  personaly I ended up doing what people who don't like planet scanning are doing in ME2 - used a cheatcode to give myself credits, etc so that I can spend as little time driving mako as possible.

edited to add - different people have different preferences.  for example, I genuinely like to knit.  you know that repetetive process of making the same motion over and over untill you end up with something cute to wear, or carry around, or play with (knit plushies etc).  I'm not the only one.  there are social clubs for people like me.

other people would rather scoop their own eyes out with a dull spoon then spend even a minute knitting.  preferences, they are different for everyone.

I dont like either. I prefer a game of pure logic and skill. Even minesweeper becomes about chance sometimes.

Freecell owns.

Well i guess you never went down to visit Zaeed and attempt to have a conversation with him, which i might add failed. Never made sense to me why i couldnt have a normal conversation with him like the other crew.  But point is you could crush garabage and dump it in his room. It would natural dump into space and not his room, the controls were in his room lol.

In general I hate all mini games with a passion but in the grander scheme of things planet scanning in ME2 was less annoying those stupid de-cryption games or hacking in from ME1 and the hacking mini games from ME2. I don't mind the Bypass mini game of Me2 although they do pop up far too often.

One of the biggest issues I have with planet scanning in ME2 is that Bioware put a limit on the number of probes that the Normandy could carry, in the early half of the game you only have enough probes to scan one planet at a time before you had to go back to a refueling station.

If Mineral scanning is going to come back in ME3 then it should be fast right from the start ( no having to upgrade the scanners ) and they should give us an infinte number of probes. They should also get rid of feul while as well ( not that that has anything to do with mineral scanning ). There are others tweaks that they need to make to the overall game better but it is by no means the worse thing in ME2.

man...I serioulsy don't now how to delete that stuff above

[dearlyblvd]

I liked the idea, but I didn't like to hold the right click to scan. I wish that I had to right click only once until I launched a probe (or cancelled the scan).

I loved it. never played ME1, but I don't think I would enjoy driving that rover around. I had fun with the scan and probe collection of minerals. It became a game within a game for me!

[Zulu_DFA]

I have to.

[redplague]

The only people who didn't like the mako were people who didn't know how to drive it properly. You weren't meant to travel from A to B in a straight line going over steep inclines and huge mountains. You are meant to study the topography of the map so that you could plan your journey and travel through the valleys. It is much quicker this way and you pass by a lot more mineral nodes enabling you to finish that quest sooner.

[jeweledleah]

I didn't like the mako, because I couldn't use my mouse to make it turn and A and D keys made the steering incredibly awkward. I hear its a lot less unpleasant to drive on xbox, but being a pc gamer, I wouldn't know.

Having used both extensively, I don't see the issue with either. I had no problems with them.

I liked it a lot...



...more than the goddamn retarded mako missions.

[Bourne Endeavor]

At first I did not mind it whatsoever, but once I had to continuously do so for hours just to unlock upgrades. Well, I was certainly thankful to have a flash drive otherwise I might not have played ME2 as much.
