Reg Mass Effect 2

Hi.

I've recently started playing ME2 again, after some time completely without playing it at all and I've noticed something. Now that I am familiar with the plot and I am not overwhelmed by the action or amount of content in the game, I seem to be enjoying it a little different. I notice more stuff now and I've come to realise that I feel I'm playing a sci-fi cartoon. A good one, thank you! I think so, anyway.

I'm seeing new things or seing things in a different way (I don't know, maybe both?). I need to point out; not many games can brag about this feature, in terms of replay-value. As you noticed, I like it and I want to know: Has ME2 given you this experience? Or type of experience similar to the one just described? If not, has any other game provied it? Tell us about it

Happy Holidays

Actually ME2 gave me less of a feeling of having stuff to do than ME1. The planet scanning was boring, heck MAKO driving in the first one was kind of boring (exploring the planets and such) so i thought BioWare will do something about this in the second one. Well, they ruined it completely. I agree with you that there is an enormous amount of content but all in written form (codex). This is similar to Dragon Age Origins, you know, being the same developer and all.

I honestly thought that Mass Effect 2 was a tremendous game, but i was very disappointed with the side missions and all RPG elements at all.

Take a look at Fallout 3 or New Vegas. You get overwhelmed by the amount of content, side quests stories and overall history. But how do you receive and assimilate Fallout's content? By doing extra missions, participating in somewhat short but knowledge-full conversations. In ME2 you got to read, read, read...

Is Mass Effect 1 worth buying? I'm thinking about buying it. Either that or one of the more recent games like Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Deadrising 2, or Alan Wake.littleman1229

I think it worth it. I enjoyed playing the first one I just never got around to the 2nd one.

I think ME1 is definately worth picking up, though you need to keep in mind that the visuals are a little dated, so don't expect it the be the most awesome looking game by todays standards.

On the ME2 subject, I've played it through about 4 times, and I'm about to crank it up of a 5th. I still can't make it so my entire team survives (those goddamn women having a cat fight ruining my perfect loyalty), but I will do it this time if I kill myself. I'm a little strange with RPG's in that I do absolutely everything on my first run through. I'll admit I still miss some things, probably through pure excitement, so I take something new from the game everytime. I don't think I'm ever going to get bored of this game, at least until ME3 anyway.
