You stated that you are a hardcore RPG fan, so if you expect a hardcore RPG from Mass Effect 2 you will be disappointed. Just treat it as a third-person shooter and you will find it quite good.

As most people are saying, it's more a third person shooter than an RPG, especially looking at ME1. If you want to know why it got a 9.0, read the review.

Maybe your playing as a soldier. Choose your class to be a vanguard or infiltrator instead. That should make battles a bit more fun. As a vanguard you get to charge enemies with a shotgun and throw people. Infiltrator is a sniper class. I consider this game as an rpg, it's like pokemon on the gameboy. There are 3 shield types enemies have (barrier, shield and armor), and they each have their weaknesses. So use powers that weaken each type of shield like ammo powers that your squad can have.

not that its just that i expected more..

well i i agree that me 2 is more shallow then the first i still think its fun i loved the story

Why do you need the help of others to generate your own opinion of a game?

And the first game is the better of the two, not including design flaws and some glitches.

Well, if you removed Fallout 3's VATS, the combat would be atrocious.

But yeah, you're on the "Third Person Shooter" side of the ideology. The game really is a bit lacking in the RPG aspect.
