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 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.

It's funny you should say that... I've not actually come across any of the repeated positive posts, I'm not actually watching the forum, just checking the recent posts bit, so all I see is constant "WAHWAHWAHWAHWAHWAHWAH THIS SUCKS" and a few posts of "oh hey guys, I've got this problem, could someone help me out here?" which gets quickly drowned out by "WAHWAHWAHWAHWAHWAHWAH THIS SUCKS!"
That said, if I did come across someone giving zero new critique just for the sake of having their opinion heard, yeah, I'd be telling them to put it in ONE (one (1)) thread.
I'm fine with opposing opinion - if even one of you dull ****s actually game up with some interesting criticisms rather than just ****ing about having to deal with ammo now (and yeah, I agree that the explanation they've given sounds weak) then something worthwhile could come of it, perhaps there could be some improvements made in patches or for ME3, but instead you're just crying that it's crap which serves no purpose.
If you actually have criticisms then make them, but make them in a single thread which doesn't drown out all the questions that matter to the players with real issues.

The enter key would go a long way toward making that readable. That said I skimmed through and disagree with almost everything you said.
Indeed! I know because I've personally witnessed Bioware bringing it down from Mount Sinai!TheSeventhJedi wrote...
ME2 = golden awesomeness wrapped in legendary sauce.

@ OP.. i am not sure what did you expect from game that is primarily made for console then for PC as secondary option(unlike DAO for example).
You can't expect something with deep RPG system (not that ME1 had that ) or with hardcore approach when it's targeting extremely limited platform (equal to subpar PC) and population with attention span of hummingbird.
I mean, at least half of them wouldn't be able to finish game if it was even slightly harder(or has more command keys).They probably would be quite overwhelmed with it, and wouldn't buy third part because of it.

I always find it interesting that when people appreciate something, they don't go out of their way to comment on it nearly as much as the haters. (Probably because they are busy enjoying the game.)

Why are people upset? Because the original game was a RPG with a little TPS mixed in - ME2 is a TPS, with a little bit of RPG mixed in.
