Mass Effect 2

it was pretty great, first thing I did after finishing it was put in Mass Effect 1 and start a new character to play 2 with ;o

Played it for like 14 hours on Saturday alone, had a massive headache from playing so much on Monday, long time since I had it like that. Not done yet, but I can definitely feel it winding towards the end, gonna try and do everything I can before I get forced to move on.

Its funny, even though the general combat is probably the single aspect of the game that has been improved the most over the last, and its actually pretty decent fun when playing on the harder difficulties, then I always find myself wanting to get back to the "adventure" part of the game with conversation trees and such, its still by far the most interesting portion of the game for me. Maybe its also because I'm playing as a Soldier that I'm not experiencing that much combat variation, but I started out as a Vanguard and really didn't like the way it played, so I figured I couldn't go too wrong with a plain soldier.

I've come across a lot of cover and pathfinder bugs too, but I guess its alright considering the scope of the game. Their environment art is pretty uneven too, starting to get kinda tired of generic warehouses, plus there's a good bunch of areas that seem just slightly above mockup. It's probably the contrast that makes it stand out, since there's some absolutely gorgeous vistas and hub worlds (Illium and Omega spring to mind), plus the characters are pretty spectacular. But again, considering their scope then it's fair enough.

Overall its really good tho, really enjoying the story, the characters. Got Miranda all lined up for some sexy time . And for once in one of these alignment games I've started playing an evil character and have actually stuck with it. My Shepard is all scarred and shit . Really a bummer that I couldn't get my ME1 save games working tho, since it seems like the ME1 choices the game takes are almost all the exactly opposite of what I did on my main playthrough

yeah was about to post that, apparently they found even more Shepardish Shepard than Shepard Fox

Yup, and the name of the character from Stargate Atlantis?

I think it's the sign of a good game when you log on at 3am and 5 people on your friends list are playing it. Though I ruined that by playing some gaudy Japanese shmup instead, of course. I think I'll get the first and play through that, is it fairly short if you stick to the main missions?
