Mass Effect 2 can run on DINOSAURS!

I tried it on my laptop. Fujitsu Amillo PI2540 (if I remember correctly), Ati Radeon HD2400, 2 gigs ram, dual 1.8 ghz processor. Officially not compatible. Yet It runs smooth enough for me to deliver plenty of headshots, on low details of course. Actually, it runs better than ME1 did on the same system.

And I can't really understand all the complaints. The combat system feels as smooth as Half-Life 2 - regardless of RPG purists' opinion, yes, it feels like a shooter which is so much better. The story is great, all the characters are way more intricate and believable than those of ME. You really become attached to them and feel their motives, their personality. Sometimes their attitude pisses you off, sometimes they suprise you. There's no easy way to go full Paragon like in the old game. This time, as in real life, being soft is no easy way to solve problems.

In short, it really feels like seeing a movie. And I can't express how good it is to see my Shepard's face in the new game. There's something special about seeing your old character move through the new story.

If I really wanted to be picky, I'd rant about some of the encounters with old characters. Some moments were pretty funny, others disappointed me. I mean, when you meet a very good friend you hadn't seen in a pretty awful long time, a hug wouldn't hurt. But maybe it's just my Italian-ness taking over.

Oh, and best intro ever made in video games, matched only by a few
sci-fi movie moments. I had to keep my jaw from falling on the
keyboard.

(Yes, I'm like a hamster on coffee right now. And that's because I'm on coffee. Had to wake up early.)

Awesome piece of art, I can't call it a game. Thanks Bioware!
