Eh, he's probably complaining because he didn't have to sort through 4385438395837 inventory items, because, y'know, unless you have to do that, it's not a 'proper' RPG.


Nice strawman you got there. How much of a decent argument did you have to sacrifice to get it?

I thought ME1s inventory was broken and needed fixing. Not replaced by a shallow and boring upgrade system that ME2 offers.

Because heven forbid in a shooting game you have to tak cover and shoot your gun! Shooting is not forced onto you, it's part of the gameplay. ME2 was an RPG, it had

-create a custom character
-had new intresting characters to interect with
-they upgraded the dialog system with interupts
-the game is still focused on the story
-you level up and upgrade your partys powers
-you get exp
-you can upgrade your characters through out the game
-you can make choices that change how the game plays

Thats just like ME and almost any other Bioware game.


I was able to crank up to insanity before the end of my first playthrough. Little did I know doing so would nullify biotics and make ducking behind cover for 90% of combat an absolutel necessity.

-I found the interaction with the new squadmates lacking for many of them. If not for a few gems, I would have been dissatisfied with the whole lot.
-The interrupts are good. The only criticism I have is a bias towards renegade.
-Party powers have been stripped down in an effort to make them "more unique". This just made them weaker and less fun to use for me.
-Exp has been relegated to a "mission complete" furthering the "shooter focus". The mission complete screen was also a total insult, and I hope its gone in ME3. It totally sucked.
-You can unlock a bonus power for characters, and they benefit from minor stat increases (woohoo, something ME1 gets criticised for, but ME2 gets off scot free for)
-No you cant. You can alter the tone and occasionally slightly alter the outcome of certain events. Thats all.


Thats just like ME! ME was one of BW worse games they ever made because the gameplay was teriable. Go play Baldurs Gate 1+2, KOTOR or hell even JE was better then ME gameplay. You are in the minority and you are a troll because you insult people who do not share your view.

I found Me 2 found lacking in dialogue. However, I liked both games very much.
The thing that  I noticed were that Exp has been relegated to mission complete states. However, I liked how ME1 handle stats.

I to did a lol what when they critcized ME1 STATS process. :lol:

I have yet to insult you. Calling you a troll is not an insult unless you act like one which you are. ME gameplay was very bad, ME2 fixed that and then people like you complain because you got to shoot your gun in a RPG shooter.

What gets me is... ME1 was easier yet somehow the sequel was dumbed down.

You see what youve just said there about ME1? Notice any similarities to what I said about ME2?

I found this on google. off topic, but seing as u mentioned it:-



BioWare has stolen a large portion of the spotlight in the gaming industry over the past several months. Ever since the release of Dragon Age: Origins last fall, the team has continued to deliver a steady stream of high quality content, the likes of which include Mass Effect 2 and the expansion to last year's RPG of the year, Dragon Age Origins. With Mass Effect 3 and Origins 2 somewhere off on horizon, one is left to wonder what new content BioWare will have for gamers to fill the gap between now and the release of their next major sequel.



On BioWare's main site, a countdown timer with little more than five days remaining can be found. However, don't let the Mass Effect graphic fool you; this timer can be found on both the Mass Effect 2 main page as well as the one for Dragon Age. It is also important to note that this timer is nowhere to be found on the page for Star Wars: The Old Republic, so it can be assumed that this mystery applies to the Mass Effect and Dragon Age franchises only.



So, what could this timer possibly be counting down to? Here are our thoughts:



1. Downloadable Content - This is perhaps the safest bet when considering BioWare's past. Origins owners have already been treated to an expansion, and what better way to maintain that momentum post Awakening than with additional DLC? In the case of Mass Effect 2, with the Cereberus Network up and running, it only seems natural for BioWare to unveil additional side quests, weapons, armor, etc.



2. Sequels - This has got to be at the top of any BioWare fan's wish-list. With talk from BioWare about their current work on a new Dragon Age title as well as their plans for Mass Effect 3, it certainly isn't out of the question. Just don't hold your breath on this one.



3. Cross-Title DLC - Another feasible option - mainly because the timer is counting down simultaneously for both Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age - would be something along the lines of cross-title content like the blood armor that was made available for both games. Maybe gamers who own both will be treated to some additional in-game bonuses. It is certainly a possibility.



4. Another Countdown Timer - Let's hope this isn't the case, but it has been done in the past. Please BioWare, let's leave that timer-upon-timer nonsense to Kojima.

Actually any thread that has ME1 vs ME2 needs to be closed right away if people want folks to remain civil.

1. BioWare was originally developing Mass Effect 1 for the
PC, and all its gameplay/menu options were tailored for it.

Odd fact never seen it before, it is so contrary to common knowledge that posting this might require a link as support.
2. Microsoft, their former publisher, paid them to gain exclusivity for the
XBox 360 instead of the PC.

Another odd one, see above.
3. Mass Effect 1 is released for XBox
360 in 2007 exclusively at first, but plays like a PC RPG game.

Another leap from your odd facts but more opinion than fact. If you had merely said it played more like a RPG than typical shooter without the PC qualifier it would have a more accurate and less biased statement.
4. Electronic Arts buys BioWare in 2008 and has Demiurge Studios develop
Mass Effect for the PC (finally).

Fact.
5. Mass Effect 2 is released for
both XBox and PC, but plays like an XBox 360 shooter game.

Without the qualifier the statement would come off less jaded and biased. Producing a statement that is fact and not a clouded mix of opinion/fact. ME2 does indeed play more like a typical TPS shooter and shooters are not an exclusive console notion as many shooter fanatics will proclaim the PC is the inherent platform for a shooter; mouse > controlpad
6. All gaming companies, including EA, now believe in marketing for console
games due to the prevalent piracy issues on PC.

One should recall to never use all and never. Please look at DAO, it is a PC game and designed as such. The console controls and menus suffer because of it.
7. Therefore, Mass Effect 3 will be focused on catering to the XBox 360.
You have made the divide between XBOX shooter / PC rpg with improper qualifiers. Because you included so many false qualifiers in your prior statements this statement looks logical but the conclusion is invalid.

A shooter mechanics are not exclusive to XBOX and RPG mechanics are not exclusive to PCs, I feel I have to restate this because your post is so misleading.
EA Bioware wanted ME2  to have more visceral shooting experience, their focus on that combined with some of the ME1 feedback caused the RPG features to be slimmed too much.
Admittedly the lead designer states her goal for ME3 will be richer and more complex RPG features, along with the fact the current shooting mechanics will more of less stay the same.
