Didnt find it hard. Just annoying. All those random planets made me want to find a crack that would make the damn places just flat (some nice landscapes here and there though)

It's always fun imagining the squadmates silently cursing Shepard for his terrible driving skills, lol.

You too?  I always imagined it would go something like this:

Garrus: "Shepard, I know what you're thinking. Don't do it."
Shepard: "..."
Garrus: "It's too far! You'll never make it!"
Shepard: *floors the accelerator*
Garrus: *screams as the Mako goes hurtling off the edge of a tall cliff, attempting to reach a distant cliff through use of the use of the thrusters. They fail, and the Mako slams nose-first into the mountain and goes tumbling head-over-heels down into the ravine*
Garrus: "Dammit, Shepard! I keep telling you, the Mako can't fly! Stop trying to make it do that!"
Tali: "I just threw up in my enviro-suit..."

On PC I loathed the Mako. On 360 I loved it, cruising along to the strains of Alanis Morissette's "Versions of Violence", ahh good times.

Yeah, it was SOOO much harder to drive on the PC, since there were only 2 extremes: turning, or not turning.

The MAKO was generally one of the worst ideas of lengthening gameplay ever devised by the human mind. Fortunately the rest of the game was good, but the MAKO parts, made worse by some of the most absurdly rocky areas this side of the cosmos, can just burn in a great big pit of fire as far as I'm concerned.

I always wondered how a person with a stomach could survive a ride in the Mako. The bumpage in some areas was so extreme, there almost should have been a hp penalty when the team gets out because they should have hurled their guts out.



Having both the Xbox and PC version, I found the aiming in the PC version MUCH easier. In the Xbox version I always had to drive, stop, aim, shot, and drive. PC version i could actually aim fairly well while driving.



Still the endless driving around on uncharted worlds made things rather boring when you are a completionist like me who could not leave a world without checking if this one had 2 mineral nodes or 3.

Biggest issue I had with the Mako, was it felt like driving a remote control car more than an Armored Personal Carrier. Bounce and hop, and roll, and vault over ridges, acting like a toy car. The thing should have had some weight and I wished time and again that I could have gotten in one of the lower wheeled vehicles scattered around the worlds.

[Series5Ranger]

Hated the Mako (360 here). It was really Clunky to drive.

[spg007]

The mako guns were BS! I could kill a colosus faster with my shotgun.

[Intelwolves]

Spg, did you use the main cannon or just the heavy Machine Gun?

I mean honestly I always dreaded the driving missions in Mass Effect because the controls were so goofy.

The entire game suffered from some rather goofy control schemes. I blame consoles.

:innocent:

I didn't care for it at all. I think because I was forced to spend more time in it than the actual planet missions/sidequests. Or maybe it was the planets themselves, I stopped doing many sidequests due to overly-annoying mountains.

[Damather]

The MAKO exploration was extremely irritating.



But, combat in the MAKO sometimes gave that extra edge.

[Railstay]

Considering that driving the Mako through completely empty space or frustrating mountain peaks took up half the game time, I'd say I despised it.



The side quests for ME were terrible because of the Mako and the uniformity of all the buildings.

[Mecha_Gandhi]

i hated driving the mako through areas that contained death spots. somehow or another id always end up there.

Not alone. Glad that P.O.S. is removed in the sequel.

[mattp420]

Did not like planets with mountains like Chasca and Nodacrux, machine gun overheating, and the fact that Shepard's guns had better combat optics.

[Sinperhezine]

I'm going to miss the mako... or atleast the rover version of it, from what i understand we are getting a hover tank version as DLC, It's suppose to be called the hammerhead.



as for me i loved the mako... fighting in it atleast the exploration on the other hand, got a bit annoying here and there, espically when it got stuck... which only happen to me once.

It wasn't explained how to get out of the Mako in game... I was stuck in it for at least 30 min's (Reload my game 2-3 times) trying to decide how to get out.... twas a sad day.

So it wasn't just me, then.

And really, Mako physics is incredibly bizarre. And I'm not sure the jump jets could be more useless if they tried. I'd rather have had a boost for when the game arbitrarily decides this particular slope is too steep...

Oh, and there was the time I got stuck in scaffolds on Therum (several times), and the time I backed into a Thresher Maw that suddenly resurfaced behind me. and the time I hit something and did a full turn and then some in midair on Ilos (that conveniently pointed me in the right direction)...

mako physics was fairly good if you take into account that the game was constantly trying to "right" the mako if it rolled to the left or right by about 90 degrees. i just wish planet exploration wasn't so damned tedious.

[0utlier]

Every time i used the jets I marvelled at the massive coincidence of every visited world having the exact same gravity...

[Micon2]

I hate it with a passion uncompromizing, It is great to drive around, scream up Mountains and all kinda special stunts but if I wanted this type of game I'd have Rally Cross or Indy.

The Mako totally sucks unless you use it at rang and and then its great, But no them Thresher Mauls don't show themselves until you are on top of them and if you go too far they disappear. I near gave up playing this game cause I spent one whole day trying to stay alive for more than 5 seconds. I tried to fight on foot but that is hopeless.

I got some sage advice on a thrad I sarted about the Mako and since then I have moved on quite a bit ,bhowever tonite I ran afoul of the accursed creature again #@$! It's so frustrating for new players to this game that easy is in my opinion insane.

Being forced to fight with it is totally unfair and I could cheerfully throw the programmer out the airlock if that is too offensive a statement for those of you who Can play this game on insanity or nightmare, well I just don't care. Speaking for myself I have never played a game that requires such intense concentration and simply learning how to use all your own abilities takes time, alot of it and you you really don't get it when you are are dead in less than 5 seconds. \\Maybe that is why 'they' put in Pinnacle Station as a traing ground but even there the use of the timer was so frustrating that I left and went on to do as many other quests as I could.

Koralis

Do you fight the Threshers on foot?

Leematon,

I totally agree with you about its omission in ME2,, but I will add that actually driving it flat out every where is quite a buzz, you find it very hard to destroy unlees you drive off the edge of the skyway but visually it's well worth it.

Phew steam safety valve pressure returning to safe limits

You just have to be kidding.  Have you actually played on both? On the xbox you could only achieve something resembling control if you had the gun pointed forward along the chassis at all times.

[Marilynn-22]

I thought the mako was fun XD but Chasca (or any other mountain filled planet) was really difficult to get around.

[IronCladNinja]

originally in ME1, I hated the mako, but once I mastered handling it, i had a decent amount of fun bombing around on some of the more mountainous worlds. Generally with combat I just zoomed in with the scope and just kept driving forward and backward to dodge stuff.

The planets were supposed to have different levels of gravity, but that feature was cut during developent (but notice that each planet did have a gravity value listed in its description).
