Anyone here finds ME2....

INCREDIBLY BORING!!! This is the most boring game I've played since ME1. All you do is run around and gather teammates you're never going to use anyway. Nothing ever happens in this game, it's just go on a random planet recruit a random dude who is not interesting in any way and shoot some stuff in the proceess. Repeat arround 20 times and you Get ME2! Also Bioware writers must think they are the child of Quentin Tarantino and Kevin Smith. I mean they're forcing you to sit trough so much dialogue they must be so proud of it.

Spacebar.

This is what ALL BioWare games are. As much as I love ME2 and hate Dragon Age I have to agree with the OP a little in one regard. Even Kotr and Kotr 2. All bio ware games are basically the same thing - run around and fight, stop and talk to people and ask a TON of questions, open a chest or locker or something and get some stuff, and then repeat, over and over and over!! I have found the drawn-out Q&A with every character you meet to get boring in all BioWare games.

[QUOTE="smerlus"]I find it funny that you bought the first one, didn't like it and still decided to buy the sequel. You kind of deserve the horrible time you're having with it simply because it could have been avoided.Revan_911

I agree with you too, and even though I love games with deep stories I didn't liked ME1 or KOTOR at all, and trust me, I've played Planetscape: Torment many times so you can't say I don't like games with huge stories, it's just that they are too repetitive in my opinion.

Nothing to see here folks, don't feed the troll. Move along.

I've liked most Bioware games that I have played, with the exception of kotor. Haven't played ME2 but I can't imagine the universe the created with ME1 being boring in any way.

Generalization much? Every game can be broken down to those parts.

I absolutely love Mass Effect 2. although i was not a fan of Mass Effect 1 at all. I didn't understand what the fuss about it was at first. But i completely love the sequel and makes me want to play the first again.
I don't remember the first game that well, but i remember bad graphics, annoying combat, and remember being extremely bored. I don't know, if my gaming genre has changed over 2 years. I enjoy games such as GTA IV, Assassins Creed, Batman AA, Bioshock, as for Fallout 3, that bores me to hell. I can't see how any other game is going to beat Mass Effect 2 this year.. I got absolutely lost in the world in Mass Effect 2, similar feeling i got after watching Avatar. Defiantly not boring for me.

I find it a little amusing that you're apparently such a big fan of KotOR that you'd name your forum account after Revan. But you're complaining that you don't like the long dialogs and all the talking in ME and ME2? KotOR was exactly the same. Heck ME and ME2 *ARE* KotOR without the Star Wars license and a different combat system. The story driven, dialog driven game play, the semi-open ended 'go to these planets, you decide in what order', the morale scale system, the focus on party members, their stories and backgrounds.

I can understand why some people don't like these types of games. I personally love 'em but each to their own. What I don't get is someone who's such big fan of KotOR that he's name his forum account after the game's main character and then complain about too much dialog in a game that's pretty much identical in that regard.

Best game in awhile imo, loving every second of it.

[QUOTE="DabsTight703"]ME2 is a horrible game. It is incredibly dumbed down compared to the first. Voice acting is horrible and you get no dialogue options. It's funny that they try to make it seem like you have options in this game by giving you 2 answers to choose from even though they both lead to the same response LOL. I can't help but feel like Bioware blew all their money on DA:O.millerlight89

Soi, what your telling me, is ME is an RPG? this is shocking and strange news, i dont think any of use lnew bioware made rpgs.

Funny I dont rememeber any of those parts in Forza 3..... Any one else see the irony here? "Generalization much? "Every game" can be broken down to those parts" lolBackHatch

Drive cars, smartass.

This is the most boring game I've played since ME1.

Revan_911

Fail. You bought the sequel to the most boring game in you opinion. And you find it boring.

The only things I dislike are scanning planets for minerals, combat in missions where it is just geth, and the upgrade system. I have almost all upgrades and a ton of minerals left. Feels like I just flushed time down the toilet.

I'm with the OP. I'm still a long way from beating the game but, so far the game is way overrated.

I too found ME1 to be slighty below average. ME2 is turning out to be more of the same. I guess this is my fault for buying into the hype and listening to all the fanboys on this site. I thought ME1 was just a fluke for Bioware. Sadly, they have let me down again. Right after DAO too. Can't believe they made these two games right around the same time. They must of assigned the junior dev team to ME or something.

You are the troll, there are TONS of games that do not follow this style. And there are even many RPGs that don't follow as closely. There is a very distinct style in BioWare games that many of us find extra monotones and that was the point I was making. And you accused me of making a generalization and followed it up with a MUCH bigger generalization than I made!

I don't realy see that much same in kotor and mass effect. Kotor and jade empire sure. Now I don't say that people should love this game and I undestand some peoples point that they are same. But then again Civilisations are same, UFO:s were same and still I have to say that I love civ 4 even if I have played them all. Now what makes Mass effect 2 different are the small things in the game and there are realy now things in the game. Still I love bioware games. Didn't like nwn so much but most of them.

But that's just me and you all can hate ME2 if you like I love it and want to play ME3 when it comes out.

They won't take out the dialogues and story...that isn't "improving".

ME 2 is a superb game, your problem if you don't like stories that develop slowly, the only thing that I dislike about it is the mineral survey thing, but at least it's better than before and this time side quests are actually enjoyable.

Also @ BackHatch...ever played "most" of Codemaster's games? there aren't two games made by them that are the same, not even CMR 2003/2004/2005. It's your opinion but really this thread wasn't made for generalization it has a precise purpose and that is to talk about ME 2, if you want to generalize about games make a thread about that, except your first post all you said was REALLY besides the point and it is trolling (just look at your last post, you continued the discussion and now you look for other things to prove your point but all you do is to show Nibroc how much of a troll you are with this exaggerated opinion that you continue to enforce).

I just wish there was more combat. Unlike the first ME, I really enjoy the actual gameplay. Everything is so responsive and the AI actually works now.

haters gotta hate. Think for a moment. If the game is getting universal acclaim, is one of the highest rated games in history, and you think its crap, dont you think there is probably something wrong with you? Not the rest of the world?:lol:

If you actually bought ME2 after thinking that ME1 was boring there's something wrong....

[QUOTE="BackHatch"][QUOTE="Nibroc420"] My generalization was the same as yours. You took a game, gave an EXTREMELY simplistic overview of what you do in the game and then compare it to another game while using the same simplistic view. By your logic, all Racing games are the same because you just "Pick a car, drive around in circles, there's some flashy lights and then you repeat" Meaning Forza, Dirt 2, and NFS:Shift are all exactly the same game. Then you bash a game for it? Thats Trolling, you're unable to find a reason to bash a game so you say it's the same as the others. "Mass effect isn't original because all you do is Fight things, level up and talk to people." Well, Yes... You do that in most RPG's. Fight things for exp, gain exp to level, and talk to people to progress the story... Seriously man, what do you want? a whole new Genre of game each time bioware releases something?Nibroc420

What he said, the whole game is blah, blah, blah. For most of the time is meaningless, if mass effect 2 is like that too, i wont be buying. Is it? Or it has been improved. What about combat and level design?

[QUOTE="Revan_911"] I don't know in what context you say that, but ME is all flash and fluff . I mean motion capture dialogue, really ? If the dialogue is written well people will be interested you don't need people walking around in motion capture studio to make dialogue, it's a nice addition but as i said this game is all flash . And what if there's tons of dialogue? Does that make the dialogue more meaningful? No it doesn't. In this game you go around and say Hi to random people and they give you their life story. In games like Silent Hill there is very little dialogue but every bit of it is meaningful. Revan_911
