I'm gonna be honest, I havent played Mass Effect 2 yet, but Mass Effect 1 can get pretty monotonous real fast. The side quests consist of you going to barren planets and just "inspecting" random objects or what not, and maybe if you get lucky, they might throw one enemy out there for you to shoot. And Bioware really needs to learn to be concise. In every single Bioware game (especially my much hated Knight of the Old Republic series) you spend 90% of your time hearing boring monotonous dialog. I understand story is important, but I wish they evened out the dialog by adding more combat sequences. And I hate the Codex system. I hate when games expect you to read the history of the game world. Like in Resistance with the intel documents and what not. Good writers should find a way to tell you everything relevant to the story withing the general story sequences, not have you inspect things just so you can get a codex update.
Oh yeah and biotic powers look lame. Come on Bioware, give us something to look at. All the biotic abilities look like minor variations of the same special effect. Real boring, and 4 weapon classes, with each weapon in each class practically looking the same? And 90% of the armor being nothing more than a paint job? A bit lazy if you ask me. It's a good game, don't get me wrong, but it gets a lot of undue love around these parts.
