Nope, I touch type, I have no need to ctrl c/v.

The last console I had was a Sega Master System.

It seemed important to utilise repetition to get the point across that, while there may be some flaws in the game (I haven't received it yet so I can only judge from what I've seen and what others have said), there is no point in posting exactly the same vague "OMG THIS SUCKS" comments repeatedly. D'you geddit, or are you simply going to skewer me with your razor wit and a comment about clown faces?

Interesting topic. But I'm asking to myself why Caseypwn hasn't registered his ME2 or DA:O copy yet.

First of all, paragraphs are your friend! :)







As you progress in the game and upgrade skills, cooldowns should not be of such concern as from the start! :)

The only razor wit reply to that is...

What critique have I repeated? I wrote it once and have spent the rest of the time responding to people that can't let posters who don't think its the best game ever be left alone in their own thread to discuss some of the negative changes bioware made from ME1 to ME2.

Perhaps you can see how then your post does not pertian to me. (and you were wrong to post it in response to me).

So starting another praise thread or adding the same information to an already started praise thread would be equally bad? Don't see that stopping either.

Wake up man, seriously.

You think I'm trying to get back at you... or maybe you hope I am.
Sorry, but that's not the case, I'm merely trying to annoy you. Which I'm doing a very good job at I might add (looking at your posts).

Anyways, keep insulting us with stuff like "kids", "console kiddies" and whatnot, maybe one day, you'll grow a pair and man up, hm?

Yes and no at the same time.

Yes it can also be equally bad. If you don't have anything really new to say you shouldn't be making another thread... espiecly when it's a hot-topic that already has droves of threads.

But on the other hand, it is more acceptible because it's being nice. These devs worked their asses off for a year, and despite what many sem to think, I'm 100% positive they wanted to have people enjoy their game. So going a bit over the top to make people feel good about their work I guess ain't bad at all.

It's right and it is wrong, but it's slighlty less wrong cause theres the factor of making people feel good. This is very debaitible though... you DID pay $60.

Well, they did get my $50 (PC not console, my PS3 and 360 gather dust due to the lack of intelligent games made for them) 

But as far as making the developers feel good they have a bunch of review sites that always give good reviews giving them praise, and there are plenty of posters here on the social site that make it a second job posting suck up posts to them (no offense to you) and right after a game is made most people post appreciatively because they just spent $50 - $60 and they think for some reason it will make them look bad if they didn't enjoy it. (Is $50 really that big of a purchase? Maybe if I bought a house and it was crap I'd feel that way.)

So in the end the number of positive posts will always be higher when the game is new. This is exactly the time to critique it. Those posts are fewer and come from people that as long as they don't just say "THAT SUCKS!" (which neither I nor the OP did) are more apt to see the product objectively.

Sorry, just sinking to your level.

Since you are keen to continue the conversation, the post does pertain to you (nice use of big words btw, but it's still only two syllables) since you are defending the rights of people who are disgusted with a few changes to flood the forum, when they could easily post the same comment, and it is the same comment, I've yet to read anything that is both negative and new since the first negative comment, in a single thread. If all these comments were in a single thread there would be no problem. If any of these comments went into any significant detail about the nature of the problem, they might even be useful. Instead of this fine and potentially useful thread, we have hundreds of pointless and annoying threads and yes, their opinions do count and they are welcome to them, but for ****s sake, flooding the forum just pisses people off, and considering those of us who are still here and have not been ****ing against the game since before it was out anywhere are those who are waiting for the game to come out in our countries, we're already a little impatient anyway... you really can't blame us for getting ****ty with pointless little trolls like yourself.

Thanks though, trolls are excellent tools, it's just a shame that none of you realise your utility.

I am sorry, but it's pathetic for people to flame the OP for his views on the game and attempt to give feedback.

Yes, the OP should have written his paragraph in a readable manner but the points remain. I agree that there are many things about ME2 that I don't think are improvements and many aspects of the game feel watered down to me.

That said, I am enjoying the game but it so far is not living up (IMO) to the 9.6 IGN gave it. Feedback should be given in order to let Bioware know what we like an don't like in the hopes of a further improved product in ME3.

I work in software actually and as a developer I appreciate this kind of feedback. When you work so much on a project, you often can't see the forest for the trees. When a user and more importantly a customer gives real honest feedback, it is extremely helpful to me in terms of being able to improve my product.

*edit*
I also don't mind the multiple posts.  Posting multiple times (from various users, not the same person) makes it a more visible issue and gives each poster the chance to present their own take rather than a "Yeah, me too" reply.

Take the tech support forum.  I believe the multiple posts on cerberus key helped bring quick attention to the issue.  This of course still demands that the posters remain civil and mature without the "This game is teh SUX!" kind of comments.

I don't see you complaining about the repeating positive posts.. it's not about the repeating posts, it's because you're too immature to allow an opposing opinion. bottom line. Everything else you say is lies to hide that fact. That's trolling.

Yes. Because all you guys want is to make your opinion heard, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. To get replies is simply offensive, I mean, hell, it's not like you're all bringing up the same miniscule points and clogging up a forum which might otherwise have some interesting conversations or important questions is it?

I'm sorry, but if you're talking **** and more importantly, if you're talking the same **** that many other people have said, going into the exact same lack of detail that they did and presenting it in a horribly formatted post... you're probably going to get called on it.

If you don't like it, try to get your own "OMG THIS FUKKEN SUCKS" thread, where you can spend the next three months whining about what is wrong with the game and most of us will leave you alone.


Well, the fact remains that BW took all of the RPG elements out of this game and dumbed them down to something more reminiscent of BioShock than of Dragon Age, or much less Mass Effect.  To me, and I've only played through obtaining three team members on top of the starting two, every element of Mass Effect that didn't relate directly to the story was removed in favor of somethin that would appeal to the 3PS gamer.

The customization (via armor, weapons, equipment, ammo) and large skill selection made the combat of ME deeper than its sequel, for all that it's worth for the combat in ME.  Balancing the heat demands of High Explosive rounds or projectile accelerators (i forget which ones generate heat) forced me to calculate what items to hold on to and what to get rid of.  Now I just tapt the left or right bumper with little regard to, well, anything.

I figured that, when I saw the four skills available to me, over time I would be able to unlock more skills and more abilities.  Though I have yet to complete the game and find out whether this will happen, what information I have gleaned from a Prima strategy guide without spoiling the game is that I will only be able to evolve these core skills, instead of developing others.  That an infiltrator has a skill like "tactical cloak" without "overload" is mind boggling.  But then again every charater and their mother has that skill so I sure won't be wanting for it.

All in all the combat is dull in that it is so quick.  Enemy with shields or barrier?  Switch to disruptor rounds, order Garrus to use concussive shot.  Enemy with armor?  Give Jacob incinerator rounds on his shotty, drop incineration on the bad dudes.  Enemy with regular health?  Cryo rounds and biotics.  None of those can be customized and the variation of tactics is minimal at best.

If BioWare wants to make a game that plays this way, that's perfectly ok with me.  I for one will not be replaying it, and after I watch the special features I'm probably going to sell my Limited Edition on ebay along with my ME Limited Edition.  As for complaining for three months, I won't be.  Luckily, Star Trek Online is releasing at a time I thought would be devastating to it.  I would really like to talk to the person who though that building a new combat system without an emphasis on the RPG elements critics and players considered strong in the original game was a good idea.

Up till yesterday, I was an enthusiastic Bioware fan.  Anything they made seemed to me to be golden.  In playing mass effect 1 and waiting for mass effect 2, I had high hopes, confident that Bioware would deliver a game that was superior in every way shape and form to the origional.  Boy oh boy was I disappointed.  First of all, party mechanics, related to this, character representation and interaction.  You can no longer take direct control of you teamates, you no longer have a conveniently located status monitor for your squad, you instead have two very annoying, very distracting images of your party members pasted to your ass it seems.  While I give Bioware credit for refining the tactical command element of the squad, it seems like it doesnt quite balance out.  Next we have the inventory system, or lack there of, you can no longer purchase nor equip armor for your squad, rather their defenses and abilities appear to scale with each level up.  While at the same time I have to say that I do love the armor customization option for shepherd, but why not that option for the whole crew?  Next we have weapons, upgrades, and items.  Weapons which were a dime a dozen in the first mass effect, are mysteriously absent this time around, rather you have a few weapons that feel like you can only manage pocket change capacity for ammo storage.  While this does perturb me, I do like the ammo system, its nice, but doesnt feel quite right in terms of the lore or the game, which I recall calls for mass effect weapons shaving off a miniscule amount of some material block and mass accelerating it out of the gun,  too me it seems like you go through ammo too quickly.  Next upgrades, these seem to be the general replacement for the inventory system from mass effect 1, and while definetly usefull, it is no comparison to the inventory system from the origional game.  And while certain allowances are expected for regen for health, why eliminate medpacs all together.  This ties into my next issue, cooldowns.  In the first mass effect you could string multiple abilites together to turn a tactically disadvantageous situation around, here you cant though.  The insane cooldown time makes it improbable that you would have time to use an ability multiple times in a single fight.  I am playing on normal as a pistol packing sentinel, and I use my abilities at the beginning of a fight, and by the time its done, my cooldown isnt even up.  This holds true for bosses as well.  Why is it that tech and biotic abilities are no useless against an opponent unless they are basically defenseless?  How is that tactical gameplay, at most they seem like glorified finishing moves, since by the time you use them your opponent is already defenseless.  My final issue is with the expectation that I and much of the gaming world expected would be remedied, and that was the screen rendering issues of the first game, yet I have been seeing them throughout my play through.  As well, what is with the glitches??? Every time i close my menu, shepherd runs to the left???

Thats the last of the negative, so now I want to offer some positive to balance this post out and give it credence.
The polish on this game is a high sheen, it looks amazing, as do the npcs and playable characters througout. The story, or what I have experienced so far is compelling and interesting. the simplification and tactical control of the new squad system is quite nice and very welcome, as is the clip system implemented in the weapons.  Overall I would have to say that I am most impressed with the galaxy layout and the diversity in planetoids and the options for exploration.

However all this being said, It is my opinion that ME2 is no match for the origional ME.  Simply put they took everything right from the first game and either broke it or simply did away with it, but on the other hand they took everything wrong with the first game and corrected it.  However things dont quite seem to balance out.  I submit this in the hopes that it will aid Bioware in correcting the plethora of mistakes made on ME2 so that they can be avoided for the final installment of the trilogy.  Im rooting for you Bioware! please do not disappoint me again.

.  I would really like to talk to the person who though that building a new combat system without an emphasis on the RPG elements critics and players considered strong in the original game was a good idea.

:ph34r:

I think the reviews are kind of speaking for themselves, its rated higher on metacritic than ME was, so the critics clearly think the changes were a goood idea. As do quite a lot of the players.
