Sounds good. But they toned down the RPG part of combat it seems. And the combat was already RPG Lite to begin with. Now it sounds like just a shooter. Will I miss too much by having ignored the really boring side quests of ME1 for my ME1 transfer data? | |
Noooo...i just bought STO! dont have time for this and that!... Guess ill just have to wait till its $30 like the last game ._. | |
Sounds good, i really can't wait much longer for this game! :D | |
I wouldn't say they toned down the RPG a lot at all. ME2 is virtually identical to ME in that regard - though I will say that stat allocation has been tweaked slightly. As for whether you missed too much by skipping side quests...overall, I'd say no. You'll perhaps miss maybe a reference or two, but if you played the majority of the game, you're good. | |
Video does not work, and I hope the game is as good as you described. | |
Same here, the video died. Very much looking forward to the game, which should be in my mailbox any day now. | |
I played the first 3 times. Well, kinda. I beat it once, got up to the end two more times. Then the side questing made me give up. Well, then. *back to ME 1* To finish up the main plot. | |
is it me or does the paragon/renegade conversation option sound liek a boiled down QTE? Sounds great but I cant get the vid to work either | |
Then I'd say you're good. :D's And it is kind of like a QTE, but it's optional and actually quite cool. | |
preordered, baby yeah! | |
Ok, guys, try the video now. | |
Way to make me want to buy a game I promised myself I couldn't have until I finish the ones I got. Must...stay away...from.......shops.... | |
It's working. | |
Getting it in 4 hours! :D | |
Hey wait a minute... Boo was a space hamster! The universes are linked! | |
It's alive! Thanks for the quick fix! | |
Actually a good review. Mail people screwed up and gave me my copy yesterday already, so I've already got 9 hours clocked and planning on adding way more after tonight. I love the game, save for the mining of course, and feel as if it adds to the legacy they've began to create | |
3... more... days... *Rocks back and forth in the corner* Damn you lucky North Americans! This is torture... TORTURE I SAY! | |
Star Trek Online needs space hamsters. Or do Tribbles count? | |
How many spoilers do you think we'll see on the forums? | |
Which version of the game is this? The PC one? Are there any differences between them. | |
Good review, but this was a guaranteed buy for me any ways. | |
So what part of the review had spoilers? The whole thing was rather clean. | |
O_O I. Want. Space. Hamster. NOW. | |
Every single one. Times 10. | |
My word, Ms. Arendt! You certainly were on the ball with this one. I mean, it came out...three hours from now? ...I'm confused. | |
Norman. Name the space hamster Norman. | |
Some of the footage we shot had certain characters in it that could be considered spoilers, but I don't think we actually ended up using any of that. I recorded the warning just in case. But I think it's all good. | |
GRR! I'M SOOO MACHOOOOO! I LOVE GRIMDAKRRRR! BLOOD, VIOLENCE, AND TITS, RAAAAGH! If that's the additude this game contains, i may just reconsider my descision to acquire it in any way whatsoever. If shooting innocent people in the face is a Paragon way now (as opposed to being Renegade and torturing them to death) - and i get the feeling it's precisely like that - then no. Thank you very much. If that is really the case, then even improved combat, pitch-perfect writing, brilliant characterization, and space hamster will not redeem Mass Effect 2 in my eyes. "Empire Strikes Back" my ass. [1] [1] Useful note: it's a figure of speech. Be merciful, don't actually "Empire Strikes Back" my ass - please. | |
Very much not like that, actually. Yes, you're going to have to shed a lot of blood, but that doesn't mean you're just spewing hate all over the place. Trust me, my Paragon Shepard is still a beacon of hope and positivity. You're not "shooting innocent people in the face," but you are going to have to make some hard choices. | |
Yes.....yes they do... And I think you should name him Wiggles. Looks like an awesome game! Too bad about the mining mini-game crap. Oh well, nothing is perfect! | |
Damnnit Susan! How am I meant to wait until Friday now?! Urgh, it's just to so far away. | |
I was going to say, a space hamster in a Bioware game, two things are then true: 1) He must be named Boo 2) He will be trained to GO FOR THE EYES! All kidding aside though, knowing this I will do everything I can to make my Shepard look like Minsc. I miss the oaf. | |
Five for days for me and I AM an American. (Fucking Shipping!) | |
