)Likes:
- A streamlined combat experience. It feels much less clunky. I like how the firefights felt longer. I also liked how you couldn't just stand out in the open without consequences. In ME2, you have to take cover, or you'll be dead pretty damn quick. Makes the combat seem more realistic.
- Lack of an inventory system. I know most people hate this feature, but I thought it was great. I don't have to loot countless crap weapons, armor, ammo types, etc. ...and then sort through all of it later. A much needed improvement over the first game.
- Most of the new characters. With the exception of Jack and Miranda (Sadly, and coincidentally, both are the only Male romance options besides Tali.) I really liked all of the new characters on the Normandy. They're unique, funny, and for the most part, very believable. I seemed to form emotional connections with some of these characters, so much so, that as the final mission progressed, I was all but biting my fingernails. Poor Mordin...
- A sense of humor. "Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son of a **** in the galaxy." 'nuff said.
- I don't know about other people, but I felt the game was longer than the first ME. I felt that there was more to do, more places to explore. There is a drawback to this, which i'll refer to in a moment.
- I personally liked the 'streamlined' rpg elements. If I wanted a more hardcore RPG, i'd play one. God knows I have more than a few of those laying around on my hard drive.
- Legion. Best new character (Tali is the best character period. One of my favorite characters in all of Bioware's games.).
Dislikes:
- Jack and Miranda. I did not like either of them. And if given an option, i'd have shoved them both into an airlock and spaced them. Miranda was too cold and businesslike. I didn't even feel pity or sympathy for her like I could for other characters in the game. As for Jack...I got tired of teen angst when I left high school. She almost makes me think of those high school mall-goth kids that go to hot topic and complain about everything. She's so abrasive and whiny that I can't stand having any interaction with her. Just a personal opinion.
- The utter lack of weapon variety. You don't need an inventory system to have a wide variety of weapons. Since there's no multiples of any one thing, I don't see the hassle or problem of having more weapons. Each weapon class, minus any of the collectors/pre-order weapons only has 2-3 choices. It would be nice if Bioware could increase variety through DLC. I would pay for weapon packs.
- The utter lack of armor pieces. Again, something I personally believe should have been in the game. One of the things they kept talking about was the ability to customize Shepard's appearance. So why can I only find two other helmets, and only 1-2 different pieces for other parts of Shepard's armor. I kept seeing that awesome ninja/splinter-cell mask thing in the customization vids, only to find out that it was part of some Dr. Pepper promotion. I was a little disappointed in this. Also, the DLC armors should be made to mix and match as well. Most of the time I just wore the DLC armors, or wore mostly all N7 armor. Like weapons, it's something i'd really like to see in the dlc.
- I felt that most of your actions in ME1 had little to no impact on this game. And the only decisions that really seemed to have any effect were smaller decisions you made. Anderson's position in the council seems to make little difference (A little disappointed that he made only a very small appearance.), as does being a spectre ((Which, as the council puts it, more of a show, than anything else.)). Maybe ME1's actions and decisions will make more of an impact in ME3, once the whole reaper conflict hits end game. But, as for this game, it feels like it had minimal impact.
- Areas in general were very small. Even big hubs like Illium and Omega. While there were more of these places, and it felt like there was more to explore, individual areas felt very small.
- Shallow romaces. I had this problem with ME1 as well. It felt like romances weren't so much character development, as they were just a series of brief, shallow dialogues leading up to a sex scene. Only Tali's (And maybe because she's one of my favorite characters.) romance seemed to have some depth to it. It would have been nice to be able to explore the romantic relationship between your character and NPC past the run-up to the love scene.
- Everyone being able to die at the end. This isn't so much of a dislike as it is something that sort of bothers me. I like the idea, but at the same time, I don't think it's a good idea. It helps convey the desperation and danger of the situation, but it also makes me a little nervous about ME3. I would hate to see Shepard gone after growing with him through two games, as well as the loss of characters like Legion, Thane, Tali, Garrus, and Mordin in the third game. I can't imagine they'd wipe the slate completely clean, so I really hope Shepard and some of the fan favorites return for the next installment.
Thoughts on the future:
- Please, for the love of god, don't get rid of Shepard and introduce a brand new main character in the last installment! I don't know about anyone else, but i'd hate, at the final conflict, to play as some new character with a new backstory. I've grown with Shepard through two games. I think there's too much backstory with Shepard to lose him as the main character. The same goes with my two other favorite ME characters, Garrus and Tali. I'd hate to see them go, especially if they lived through the final mission in this game (The cameos of the other non-recruitable ME1 characters were disappointing. So if you're not going to make them recruitable, just scrap 'em in my opinion.). But...seeing as how everyone can die at the end of ME2, i'm starting to think that's exactly how it's going to happen. Makes me a little nervous about ME3. Though you have my full support in ensuring Ashley and Liara never make it back into the ME universe. Wiping the slate clean would take away alot of the immersiveness and connections you make to the ME universe.
- I'd like to seem more depth in romances. I'm not asking for a dating sim really, but allow us to explore the romances more. In DA:O you could give gifts (Although, that went for everybody, not just RIs.). I know romance isn't the main focus of this game, but it just feels so...gimmicky? You have one or two romantic dialogues, you hit the main mission and have the love scene, and then after that? Nothing. No new dialogue, no advancement, no anything. I guess that's just me though. It's like it was nothing more than a fling, than anything else.
- I'd like to see some type of space combat. Nothing would be cooler than taking control of the Normandy (2 or 3...maybe.) and busting a 23 kiliton mass acceleration cap in a reaper's ass. I could live without this feature, but I think it would add even more to the uniqueness of the ME games.
- Bigger battles. Maybe have Shepard (Or whoever you play as in ME3) and company join ground forces in large battles against their enemies. Possibilities for this could be helping the Quarians retake their homeworld from the geth, or helping the Alliance forces battle geth/collectors/whatever else the reapers bind to their will. It would help add to the epic nature of these games.
- Player housing. I know this borders on MMO territory, but I think it'd be a cool idea. The captain's cabin was cool in this game, but perhaps finding a home on a certain planet would give more room for customization.
- Two to three player co-op would be neat. It would probably only work if Shepard isn't playable in ME3, since having three shepards would be ridiculous. But if you're allowed to make your own completely new character, perhaps it would work.
- If Shepard is scrapped, let us choose a race for our character. I'd really like to play as a Turian, or a badass Quarian marine.
Anyways, I can't think of anything else at the moment. If anything else comes to mind, i'll add it to this post. I'm interested to hear everyone's opinions on the points I brought up. Though i'd like to ask people to refrain from trolling or being smartasses. I'd like to see an intelligent debate or discussion about all the things I mentioned.
