what do u guys mean by streamlining? and can u guys say like 1 example of what they streamlined?


finially getting closer to the end of ME1. opened idos but i am gonna try to explore the other planets and side quests before going on.....mako FTL

The combat will feel much different to you. Its much more, new-comer friendly. And its better. Its not bad that it was changed. It was weird at first, but I've adjusted, and it is better.

1 example would be cover. Think Gears of War. But not as fast paced.

I was stoked when I met ArchAngel aka Garrus. It caught me totally off guard. Ashley acted like a real bitch. That's why I'm cheating on her ass with Miranda first chance I get.

I miss Wrex, but Grunt is pretty beastly himself. Definitely will use him for the majority of the game. My second spot still hasn't been locked up, though. I'm not sure who I want to roll with. I just recruited Thane, anxious to see how he does in battle.

Miranda is ready for Shepard's Sausage. I bet she's a wild cunt with those biotics.

He's a beast, I like his demeanor.

 

I like using Garrus and Miranda with their black armor along with Shepard in black and red N7 armor. They look like a tactical infiltration team it's badass.

It's awesome how different it is if you pick a female. Like I don't even know who Ashley, Wrex or Thane is. Maybe I'm not far enough, but pretty sure Ashley/Wrex are gender specific.

This brought the Lulz

 

LMAO, i just punched out that reporter on the citadel who screwed us over in ME1, he hit her like that dude punched snookie on Jersey shore

 

[riley420]

The story is fantastic.

I hate the controls, I hate the camera and I really don't like the new inventory and level up system.

I still fucking love it though.

Without spoilers, I'd say the following:

1) It's no longer a grindfest. You do sidequests because they're interesting, not to just boost levels (not that you were, but some people did). They limited the level cap I think to focus more on what the powers did, and the powers benefit greatly from that.

2) No more clunky goddamn inventory with 1 million collected items that you don't need and thus have to melt into Omni-gel or sell. In fact, you don't even HAVE an inventory. Every gun you find, you keep. Every upgrade you find, everyone benefits from (for the most part, unless it is Shepard specific). The game is more focused on the combat and storytelling than the RPG aspect, and while when I heard that initially I thought that I wouldn't like it, I fucking loved it.

3) I personally love the combat. It's fast, intense, and while not as difficult as ME1 was on Normal, I'm going to go ahead and guess it'll be plenty difficult on Veteran or Insanity (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, people who played it on those levels). Basically, when I reached the end of ME1, I loved it, but I also was a little exhausted from the ride due to all of the clunky load times and boring sidequests. With ME2, I was exhausted when I was done because it was so intense from a combat, story, and sidequest perspective. I just never wanted it to end.

Now I want to go back and play again.

Edit -- oh yeah and 4) NO MORE MAKO. I can't stress how much better the sidequests are in this game.

Thane might be one of my favorite video game characters ever. I loved him in battle too. Rolled with him from picking him up, to the end. His backstory is fantastic as well.

My First of many endings.....

 

Well I survived along with Garrus, Joker, Grunt, Tali, Legion, Miranda, Jack, and Samara. I know for a fact Thane died, he died while closing a door with Shepard. Also Chakawas, Kelly, and the engineer chick died after we saved them from being harvested. Basically While Shepard and all the main characters were off the ship, the ship got attacked by the Collectors. Everyone died on the ship except for Chakawas, Kelly, and the engineer chick. Yes the scottish dude died. Joker was spared after helping EDI warp out of there. After we started the suicide mission Thane died while helping close a door and then we found Chakawas, Kelly, and the engineer chick. They asked for an escort but I told them to go back to the ship alone cause we couldnt spare the men. They all died upon returning.

 

I seem to be the only one of my friends that made it through without losing anyone. Did you get everyone's loyalty or not? I think that that has a huge effect because I seriously had no problem at all keeping everyone alive, and I even sent Jack with the surviving crew members (Chakawas et al) back to the ship.

My most recent run through of ME1 was 16 hours.

 

[Maynard]

i can see doing that if its a 2nd or 3rd play thru cause u know whats going on already and probably skip most if not all side quests.

i just hope ME2 gives me 40-50 hrs in my first play thru

 

[SethMode]

haha yeah, I've had the week off and the girlfriend is out of town visiting family, so I've been tearing through it since getting it at noon on Tuesday.

Admittedly, I only did a few sidequests outside of the squad member driven ones. End clock was 25 hours. Although the main bulk was last night/this morning. The end third is so good I couldn't stop until I beat it (at 4AM).
