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.

ME 1 was different on the PC.  Only a couple of the games had that whole "push buttons to collapse rings" thing.  Most of the time you navigate a cursor through gaps in spinning circles.  Yeah it gets boring after a while (I do prefer the hacking/bypassing minigames in ME 2)  , but I think I'd prefer that to planet scanning.

I'd definitely prefer exploring a planet's surface with the Mako vs scanning.

Scanning now is an inconvienience (before the patch though it was pretty damn awful.) and it's never going to be fun as it is. It's just a chore. I must admit that I too much prefered the Mako driving about on big empty planets when compared to scanning. That wasn't exactly enjoyable either though. Certainly a subject that needs work for ME3.

[Acturas]

Nope. Preferred the Mako, I think if they fixed the "every planets a crazy mountain range" from ME1 and designed each individually it would be perfect!

[neal sonntag]

would rather have the mako on the planets. maybe just make it faster to satisfy the people that didnt like it. i loved it in the first game.

I have this fear that all my planet scanning is contaminating stars with too much dark energy that will cause them to eject mass like they do in their red giant phase.

[Aedan_Cousland]

Planet scanning was slightly less interesting than watching paint dry.

I prefered ME1's system where you just scanned a planet once and were done, or found resources while driving around in the Mako.

The Mako had it's flaws of course, but that was mostly the terrain you were given to operate it on.

I thought it was tedious and boring. I would rather go hill hopping in the mako, and wiping out enemies on uncharted planets any day. I miss driving around open areas only to be ambushed by a thresher maw or geth. If they are keeping it, please please please make it less time consuming.

I just wished they had an indicator to show where the nearest deposit was when scanning, i just ended up spinning the planet in circles for ages. Use planet exploration for different things like side missions.

I didn't mind it, because I usually just smoked something and listened to music while scanning for minerals

And here I thought I was the only one:whistle:

Planet scanning was bad idia. Too boring...
But all other mini-games in ME2 are good.

If there will be scaning in ME3, than I hope it will be like "Orbit planet -> Press scan button -> Wait 3-5 sec. -> Get all found resources automatically -> Fly Away".

[KenKenpachi]

Hmm I didn't mind it at first, but after a hour or so I took up a new way of doing it, only hit the Rich and high yield planets and only the largest spikes I see in the fastest sweep I can do. Which still nets me a bit more minerals than I need.

[tracker05]

Having a passing interest in astronomy, I found it to be a nice distraction. The fact that the poles aren't available to scan is actually accurate, as the ice at least on earth is too deep for finding minerals.

[ElectronicPostingInterface]

I bought the game for the planet scanning actually. I love the little descriptions and dragging the cursor across the map looking for minerals. It's like a treasure hunt. I try to mine every planet and get every resource to completely deplete it.



To me Mass Effect 2 is really more like Monopoly: Resource Gathering with an annoying sidegame that I sometimes have to play to advance in my fun planet scanning adventures. I throw it on casual and hope to get past all the annoying RPG and gunplay bits.



I'd buy a DLC title of just planet scanning. "Mass Effect 2: Excursion." It would be like both an encyclopedia and archeology!

[Gravity Bun]

I didn't mind it, certainly didn't hate it. I actually love reading the planet flavour text.

I'm replaying ME1 right now, fleshing out couple more saves for ME2 and my god, do I ever miss planet scanning. some of those planets are so terribly designed that no matter how you chart your route, you end up climbing several steep mountains. even with my completist streak, I basically have given up on even trying look for resources/anomalies. land only on a planet that has a quest, head directly for quest target, get the hell out. some people liked the mako, I get it. some claim that they didn't have any issues with driving it - good for you. I had, I still do, its clunky, clumsy, improbable, most planets are designed to make all your teeth fall out, steering that thing feels terrible, especially after how sensitive hammerhead is in comparison (and not being a fan of driving in general- hence not buying driving simulator games - I didn't particularly like hammerhead either, but at least it would turn where you'd tell it to turn).



planet scanning might be repetitive, but its possible to minimize how much of it you do if you scan selectively and intelligently. plus once you finish the game and start getting resource bonus for all the next playthroughs, you scan even less. the only beef I have is that you couldn't exchange resources for credits, but oh well.

[AlanC9]

I'd prefer no Mako and no scanning. But at least there was a point to doing the scanning, whereas money wan't worth acquiring in ME1.

[Captain Iglo]

I enjoyed it to much...it was so soothing.
