I don't mean to be rude or insulting or what not but...

What is it now with all these character imposters popping up./uploads_user/1070000/1069890/28014.gif

ME1's main problem for me was the sidequest repetition and the 90 degree angles when driving to Mako >.<

Of course you can ignore much of that if you're only after the story. You can't really ignore planet scanning in ME 2. And if we're talking about side quests, what's better - steering the Mako through difficult terrain and shooting stuff in cookie cutter levels, or following a Mech through an empty level and pushing a button three times to insert a new battery?

Why is it that Liara is the only Asari (that i've seen) with eyebrows? 

There's only one other Asari with eyebrows. That was Matriarch Benezia. I wonder why they both have eyebrows and no other Asari does?

Liara is the only Asari out there that also has naturally pink lips. They are soooo /uploads_user/1070000/1069890/28010.gif . /uploads_user/1070000/1069890/28016.gif

I don't know about you, but I replay ME 1 for the amazing story. So what if the combat in ME 2 works better (in my opinion that's not even true, but nevermind that now). In the end you always kill the bad guys and move on. Once you've mastered it, neither game provides much of a challenge in that regard, and shooting stuff isn't a huge deciding factor in replayability anyway. It's the story, the choices, the interactions with other characters, the beautiful romances that made me love and replay ME 1 so much. The game has lost nothing of that, no current game can match or even beat it until today. Certainly not ME 2, though you may of course disagree.

But of course I also don't find BG 2 or even Fallout 2 to be "unplayable".

ME1's main problem for me was the sidequest repetition and the 90 degree angles when driving to Mako >.<

That, and the horrible auto save, the terrible inventory, the Mako's shields and armor. and crappy shoot and cover gameplay. I still like the story, and a part of me wants to replay Mass Effect 1 as a female shepard (because I refuse to re-play my default female MS2 save after playing it. What a horrible experience...) But because my choices "might" matter in MS2 and MS3, I hate having to try and finished "everything" just to make sure I got everything covered.

Yeah but I hate leaving the quests unfinished.

Thats what keeps me from doing another ME1 run. I didnt mind the Mako though, it was just the 90 degree angles that got me annoyed.

Really though, all it takes is a good look at the planet map and you can usually find much easier paths to get to things in the Mako. I never had much of a problem and actually loved roving aroung in it! /uploads_user/1070000/1069890/28009.gif
The Hammerhead was a fine attempt to placate us but it, like everything else in ME2, fell a bit short of expectation.

Exactly. I think weve struck the difference here between the hardcore loyal players (the kind like me and you who can play a game about a decade old and still enjoy it) and the easily pleased mass market players who ME2s dumbed down gameplay is aimed at.

Ultimately ME2 and probably ME3 as well is aimed at a larger, more easily pleased market. The kind who forget all about it once the next new shooter is released.

I find it amusing when I read comments about how ME2 is a landmark RPG title that will be talked about for years.

Ill be surprised if a great deal of people are still talking about it by the end of this year. Its a lot like gears of war in gameplay, and also reception. Massively critically praised like its a game that will go down in gaming history. In reality its not that big a deal in a years time.

I think, though I cant be certain, the only area ME2 doesnt really match gears of war is in terms of sales. If it had matched the kind of shooters they wanted to emulate in terms of sales, I think we might have heard something. As it is, all I heard was it got off to a fairly good start. Thats all.

I know what you mean, and I do agree that some stuff in ME 1 is repetitive. But for me, the next part of the story is always enough to look forward to. I think that's how it should work.

By the way, I for one don't scan planets anyway. I rather press a few buttons in the save game editor instead of in the game.

Not trying to be rude here. I am probably wrong, but, sounds like you are playing the wrong games. Maybe you should stick with the more solid shooters, for which there are many, and they do all of the shooting/driving/etc stuff much better. /uploads_user/1070000/1069890/27986.gif
