When ME3 comes out I'll most likely replay both of the previous games before playing it anyway.

Er I don't tolerate it: save editor, or by commands through the coalesced.ini? Probably the same for a lot of people.

Can't remember the last time I scanned a planet other than for a mission.

Pretty much this for me too, I would never have had so many play throughs if I had to do that mind numbingly attrocious dullsville mining game.

[Elyvern]

Never minded the scanning. I'm on a PC, and on my 6th playthrough. I know by now, how much of each resource I need, just scan enough of them and there's no need to do it for the rest of the game.

Driving the damn mako around collecting resources on the other hand, is the one big deterrant against playing ME1 again for me.

[AquamanOS]

Mining never bothered me. If you just take one minute out to mine stuff every hour or so I had more than enough resources.

It's certain much quicker than landing, driving around a barren map for 3 packs of resources, then having to leave. Loading and all.

the mining in ME2 was simple, the bad part was it was too slow and you were force to be mining long times if you wanted resources for decent upgrades..and being 30 min mining was a pain in the ass and not fun at all. In the other hand the mako was funnier to be playing and exploring around,and the cons were that most of the time there was nothing but mountains in the planets and the mako control was clumsy and slow..the hammerhead is faster but jumping only is not as cool as climb a 85 degree mountain(sadly at turtle speed).

Also those fights against thresher maws were winning!

You're idea would be really cool, but, frankly, after a while I found the mining mini-game to be relaxing in an odd sort of way. I don't particularly enjoy it, but I also don't feel it really detracts from the game.

Yes. I totally just focused on only the mining part and it really DID feel kind of relaxing. It kind of sends you into a mindless trance, just by focusing on literally nothing but that rising meter. It makes it super bearable. Also too...you kind of have to let a little bit of OCD runt hrough ya...haha! Gotta get those levels up!

[Tarek]

scanning gets boring after the forth play though I just do it while watching TV (laptop awesomeness)

[Aprudena Gist]

if your on the pc you just edit the save file otherwise you dont tolerate it its just stupid.

[Goose4291]

It's not like you need that much really to get the best ending to the game. You only need 30,000 Palladium and 15,000 Platinum to get the Normandy up to spec for the suicide mission. Anything else after that is fairly superfluous.

[JKoopman]

Easy. I hacked my saves to give myself 500,000 of each mineral. The only time I've had to launch probes is for N7 missions.

By developing a nice method for it.

I just strangle the mouse doing fast up-down movements while going slightly to the right.

[Chromie]

By setting my mouse DPI to 3500 and scanning in windowed mode while watching a movie on netflix or something. I wouldn't stop until I had almost 300-400k of everything excluding Eezo. Now I just use the editor.

[Admoniter]

I honestly have no idea, I'm positive that my in an effort to stop me from having a boredom related aneurysm repressed any memory of me doing it.

[Pwener2313]

This is a peculiar topic. My secret? I ignore it.

[Althorne]

After the first runthrough, I used a trainer for resources.

[Sidney]

Really other than just adding the resources the key is to realize how little of the crap you need. My first playthrough I went nuts because the first research project I saw was Med Bay for 50k and I figured if the FIRST research is 50k then it must only get more expensive from here on out. Once I figured out how don't need that much I make a loop around the equator of any rich planet and that is more than enough.

[JG The Gamer]

I just rack up a ton near the beginning of the game, and then it becomes a once in a while thing. No big deal.

[N7Infernox]

Any straightforward minigame to the galaxy map tune is fine with me.

Oh and THIS so much. After the first playthrough, mining isn't even really that necessary. You just mine a rich planet every once in a while and get back to the action.

Mining? Why should I tolerate it? Cheating is the way to go.

Yep. Gibbed's save editor is the way to go. I guess not all "streamlining" is bad. 

[Elvis_Mazur]

I try to compensate.

Mine enough for 3 upgrades, then I do mission, and then I mine again.

Never mine for all the available upgrades, it always bores me.

[wizardryforever]

Well the easiest thing is to not think of how bored you are while doing it.  Spread it out so you don't do it all at once, and only scan the Rich planets.  Have some kind of method in place, like scanning one planet in each system with a mission in it.  Most systems have a Rich planet, just scan them until they drop in value.  It only takes a few minutes per mission and you don't lose your mind doing it.

You could also try to do all of it at once, to get it out of the way.  Though if you find it extremely tedious, this method might make you hate it more.

I don't really mind the scanning, since it is so easy to lose yourself in the soothing music and it can be hypnotic.  Hence the reason why some of the devs have called it relaxing, in a way, it is.  It can be a nice break from the action.

Personally, I don't see the appeal in using a save editor.  Even if I could do that, I wouldn't.  I have this thing about playing the game the way it was intended.  Weird I know. 

[Labrev]

For ME3 they need to tell you how many big deposits of what mineral are on the planet, so you can first figure out if its worth your time. And having a bigger area of scanning would also be good too. If they just do that, I'd be more than OK with it.

As of now though YES, it sucks.

[thrasher64]

Get stoned, mining becomes the best ****ing minigame ever.
