Mass Effect 2

[Faeelin]

I have to say, I'm not impressed. The plot seems pretty awful, and I'm fairly far in.

It's not a novel.

I don't expect Tolstoy. But the first game's plot was kinda silly, but compelling and a lot of fun. This one is basically "Let's travel a series of personal crises. And oh yea, thirty thousand humans were just eaten."

It irritates me that it's so much about gathering your team. There's little real meat and potatoes to the story.

[Tamas]

Well yeah I hope Mass Effect 3 will have no or very basic team-gathering so as to make this part more meaningful.

I am hoping your team in ME3 is all the surviving party members from the first two games.

Finished it. Wow, that was a fun game. Managed to save both crew and squad. Very satisfied.

So I started playing last night.  I've only played for like 45 minutes in total but:

ME 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dragon Age * 1,000,000,000

Why is that, huh?

Yeah sort of. Altough I do recognize the groundbraking nature of Dragon Age in the fantasy RPG fare, I can't care much for it.

Dragon Age is easily the best game released this millennium

I started playing Mass Effect since I got ME2 for $25, but cannot bring myself to play it since I never actually finished ME1.

WTF. Your fucking party members are fucking morons. I train Wrex in shotguns, and he keeps taking out his shitty pistol. The Taurien agent guy seems to like his pistol more than his sniper rifle.

Is there any way to get them to actually use their talents on their own? They never heal, they never seem to use their shield boost.

Speaking of shield boost, is there any way to make that thing automatically used? By the time I am getting shot at, and realize I am dropping, I am generally dead before I manage to use my own.

Switch to easy, stop worrying about stuff like that, enjoy the story, profit.

I think you can have them switch gun at the beginning of the mission.

In ME2?  No, not really.  You make them use it.

don't think so.  This game has primitive controls for consol users.

Sadly, the same recommendation should really be made for Dragon Age as well.

Disagree.  the game is dumb&easy.  And the whole planet scanning for resources is retarded.
