Handheld himself has been lucky enough to play a copy of Mass effect 2 for the pc on Handhelds cohorts computer. Handheld wished to give his impressions without giving any spoilers so Handheld will speak of the visual changes and how the game runs and other little things.


Handheld will start by saying that Handhelds experience with it has been great so far Handheld has only encountered one very small bug but it was not gamebreaking and Handheld was able to correct this easily. Handheld himself decided to start out by making a brand new shepard without importing Handheld must say that as we all know the first games choices are chosen for you and so far Handheld has not seen any way to change them.

Handheld has been lucky enough to play through a small portion of the game and Handheld must say that the combat feels excellent The only gripe Handheld has is that when shepard walks he has a weird little gimp but Handheld thinks most people will be running around anyways, Handhelds friends cohorts computer is not completely built for gaming, but Handhelds friends cohort was able to play mass effect perfectly much the same is with the second version Handhelds running the game (at max settings Handheld believes) and the game is running smooth and without any sort of "Lag" as Handheld will say it.

Handheld was a bit upset that there werent more options in the graphics changing department such as no AA option but Handheld could just be missing something.

Handheld Found he character customization to be lacking, Handheld found that there werent many hair options for either male or female and Handheld found no matter what he did his character looked weird (Handheld probably thinks this is because Handheld attempted to create duece bigalow intergalactic gigalow) Handheld admits he was unimpressed here and wishes it could have been done a bit better.

Handheld so far has found the voice acting be done very well Mark meer has done a great job so far that Handheld himself can tell and Miranda Lawson and Jacob have also been done very well. Handheld himself especially liked the way the illusive man sounded Handheld thinks the voice acting by martin Sheen adds a mysterious undertone to the illusive man Handheld also found that he wanted to keep asking him questions. (Handheld was very upset that there was no way to recruit Helga the massage krogan. Thats a no no bioware Bad!!)

Handheld found the enviroments to be nicely done if not super extraodinary Handheld thinks that so far from what Handheld has played the enviroments are done very well and so far have only added to Handhelds good things list.


Handheld himself found the controls a bit weird at first Handheld has found that the space bar key controls your "storm" aka running at the same time it also controls going into cover and also interacting with objects. Handheld found this a bit akward at first but Handheld doesnt game to much on his cohorts computer so Handheld thinks others will probably acclimate better than Handheld himself.

Handhelds overall impression with the game so far that Handheld has played has left Handheld feeling very good and Handheld can say with confidence that Handhelds fellow forumites will not be dissapointed.

Handheld also wishes to say the flushable toilets will anger everyone and that joker has better dialog this time around (from what Handheld has been able to speak to him about). Handheld also says that the red veins are not as bad as many thought them to be they arent there for very long and they only come along if you get very careless.

Handheld would like to close this with Handheld cannot wait to write his impressions of the xbox 360 version if Handhelds fellow forumites wish him to and Handheld also cannot wait for all of his fellow forumites to be able to experience the game as Handheld has.


Handheld also wishes to have anyone who finds a spoiler in handhelds thread to warn Handheld immediatly so Handheld may remove it.



EDIT: Handheld forgot to discuss the hacking and Decryption games.

Handheld personally found these done very nicely although the Hacking one is a bit confusing to Handheld as its sometimes hard to see the lines of code and its very easy to mistake one that looks similar and waste a chance, however Handheld found that it was very forgiving. Handheld also thought the decryption was very nice you have a time limit so you cant just sit there and look slowly you have to look quickly and be accurate Handheld enjoyed the finding the matching shapes as Handheld himself is a toddler (Handheld makes a funny HAHAHA).

Overall handheld himself thinks that they are done nicely but the hacking is a bit difficult at times but as Handheld said its very forgiving.


SUPER EDIT:

Handheld also thinks tali fans will not be let down Handheld must say excellent job Liz Sroka Many cookies to you.

Handheld himself also wished to inquire about this but Handheld was never answered and Handheld didnt press the issue any further.

It appears Handhelds fellow forumites only wish to mock him and completely ignore what Handheld wrote. Handheld thinks perhaps he will not even bother giving his impressions anymore.

Handheld should not be taken aback by forum flamer trolls, handheld must stay resilient and hold handhelds ground!

:ph34r:

Handhelds adventures are great!

Don't worry Handheld. People are just a little frustrated right now about the romance threads. I would like to see your impressions of the xbox 360 version if you feel like it. Is the combat harder this time around?

Handheld finds it disheartening that he went through all that trouble to stay as spoiler free as possible and give his honest impression about Handhelds beloved game only to have Handhelds fellow forumites completely ignore Handhelds impressions of McFuzz Shepard and then dribble the topic down to nonsense, Handheld thinks minus 10 points fellow forumites Handheld expected better that that.

Handheld decided to start it out on casual to get a feel for the game and Handheld can tell you that combat is not to difficult however even as a soldier Handheld found that if you get careless and charge your enemies its a sure way to die.

Ignore the haters, handheld. You bring color to that which is dull and grey otherwise. Thanks for sharing your impressions - I look forward to reading more.

Handheld himself didnt notice it at first until Handheld himself started having a stare down with the computer screen, Handheld thinks that he might have worded that a bit weird Handheld thinks its less of a gimp and more like a small favoring of the right leg but Handheld found it hardly noticeable until he actively went looking for it.

I don't get why they couldn't have improved character creation. It really annoys me that Sheploo is generally the only decent looking build. I just wish I could make my MaleShep not look like he has tumor-cheeks. *sigh*.
